6 | Summary: | |
7 | ======== | |
8 | ||
9 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for | |
10 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other | |
11 | processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to | |
12 | initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application | |
13 | code. | |
14 | ||
15 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of | |
16 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some | |
17 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to | |
18 | support booting of Linux images. | |
19 | ||
20 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily | |
21 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are | |
22 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to | |
23 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used | |
24 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can | |
25 | load and run it dynamically. | |
26 | ||
27 | ||
28 | Status: | |
29 | ======= | |
30 | ||
31 | In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the | |
32 | Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered | |
33 | "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. | |
34 | ||
35 | In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed | |
36 | the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files | |
37 | scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or | |
38 | companies responsible for various boards and subsystems. | |
39 | ||
40 | Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the | |
41 | actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically | |
42 | from the Git log using: | |
43 | ||
44 | make CHANGELOG | |
45 | ||

94 | "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments | |
95 | in source files etc.). Example: | |
96 | ||
97 | This is the README file for the U-Boot project. | |
98 | ||
99 | File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples: | |
100 | ||
101 | include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h | |
102 | ||
103 | #include <asm/u-boot.h> | |

167 | Software Configuration: | |
168 | ======================= | |
169 | ||
170 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the | |
171 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. | |
172 | ||
173 | There are two classes of configuration variables: | |
174 | ||
175 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: | |
176 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with | |
177 | "CONFIG_". | |
178 | ||
179 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: | |
180 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if | |
181 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with | |
182 | "CONFIG_SYS_". | |
183 | ||
184 | Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating | |
185 | symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently, | |
186 | U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel, | |
187 | allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your | |
188 | build. | |
189 | ||
190 | ||
191 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: | |
192 | --------------------------------------------------- | |
193 | ||
194 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default | |
195 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". | |
196 | ||
197 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: | |
198 | ||
199 | cd u-boot | |
200 | make TQM823L_defconfig | |
201 | ||
202 | Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board | |
203 | you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file | |
204 | doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards. | |
205 | ||
206 | Sandbox Environment: | |
207 | -------------------- | |
208 | ||
209 | U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' | |
210 | board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- | |
211 | specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to | |
212 | run some of U-Boot's tests. | |
213 | ||
214 | See doc/arch/sandbox.rst for more details. | |
215 | ||
216 | ||
217 | Board Initialisation Flow: | |
218 | -------------------------- | |
219 | ||
220 | This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both | |
221 | SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). | |
222 | ||
223 | Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in | |
224 | more detail later in this file. | |
225 | ||
226 | At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names | |
227 | and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures | |
228 | may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use | |
229 | CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this. | |
230 | ||
231 | Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly | |
232 | CPU-specific) start.S file, such as: | |
233 | ||
234 | - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S | |
235 | - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S | |
236 | - arch/mips/cpu/start.S | |
237 | ||
238 | and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and | |
239 | limitations of each of these functions are described below. | |
240 | ||
241 | lowlevel_init(): | |
242 | - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f() | |
243 | - no global_data or BSS | |
244 | - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed) | |
245 | - must not set up SDRAM or use console | |
246 | - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to | |
247 | board_init_f() | |
248 | - this is almost never needed | |
249 | - return normally from this function | |
250 | ||
251 | board_init_f(): | |
252 | - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r(): | |
253 | i.e. SDRAM and serial UART | |
254 | - global_data is available | |
255 | - stack is in SRAM | |
256 | - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables, | |
257 | only stack variables and global_data | |
258 | ||
259 | Non-SPL-specific notes: | |
260 | - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this | |
261 | can do nothing | |
262 | ||
263 | SPL-specific notes: | |
264 | - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own | |
265 | version as needed. | |
266 | - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis | |
267 | - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work | |
268 | - there is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S | |
269 | - for specific scenarios on certain architectures an early BSS *can* | |
270 | be made available (via CONFIG_SPL_EARLY_BSS by moving the clearing | |
271 | of BSS prior to entering board_init_f()) but doing so is discouraged. | |
272 | Instead it is strongly recommended to architect any code changes | |
273 | or additions such to not depend on the availability of BSS during | |
274 | board_init_f() as indicated in other sections of this README to | |
275 | maintain compatibility and consistency across the entire code base. | |
276 | - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r() | |
277 | directly) | |
278 | ||
279 | Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at | |
280 | this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below | |
281 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of | |
282 | memory. | |
283 | ||
284 | board_init_r(): | |
285 | - purpose: main execution, common code | |
286 | - global_data is available | |
287 | - SDRAM is available | |
288 | - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used | |
289 | - execution eventually continues to main_loop() | |
290 | ||
291 | Non-SPL-specific notes: | |
292 | - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from | |
293 | there. | |
294 | ||
295 | SPL-specific notes: | |
296 | - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and | |
297 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM | |
298 | - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is | |
299 | done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a | |
300 | spl_board_init() function containing this call | |
301 | - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux | |
302 | ||
303 | ||
304 | Configuration Options: | |
305 | ---------------------- | |
306 | ||
307 | Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all | |
308 | such information is kept in a configuration file | |
309 | "include/configs/<board_name>.h". | |
310 | ||
311 | Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in | |
312 | "include/configs/TQM823L.h". | |
313 | ||
314 | ||
315 | Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux | |
316 | kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to | |
317 | build a config tool - later. | |
318 | ||
319 | - ARM Platform Bus Type(CCI): | |
320 | CoreLink Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI) is ARM BUS which | |
321 | provides full cache coherency between two clusters of multi-core | |
322 | CPUs and I/O coherency for devices and I/O masters | |
323 | ||
324 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCI400 | |
325 | ||
326 | Defined For SoC that has cache coherent interconnect | |
327 | CCN-400 | |
328 | ||
329 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCN504 | |
330 | ||
331 | Defined for SoC that has cache coherent interconnect CCN-504 | |
332 | ||
333 | The following options need to be configured: | |
334 | ||
335 | - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. | |
336 | ||
337 | - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. | |
338 | ||
339 | - 85xx CPU Options: | |
340 | CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 | |
341 | ||
342 | Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements | |
343 | the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR | |
344 | compliance, among other possible reasons. | |
345 | ||
346 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV | |
347 | ||
348 | Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the | |
349 | system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ | |
350 | devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. | |
351 | ||
352 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT | |
353 | ||
354 | Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device | |
355 | tree nodes for the given platform. | |
356 | ||
357 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 | |
358 | ||
359 | Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, | |
360 | then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and | |
361 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. | |
362 | ||
363 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV | |
364 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) | |
365 | ||
366 | Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) | |
367 | for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. | |
368 | ||
369 | The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision | |
370 | of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus | |
371 | p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls | |
372 | whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. | |
373 | ||
374 | See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about | |
375 | this erratum. | |
376 | ||
377 | CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND | |
378 | Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only | |
379 | required during NOR boot. | |
380 | ||
381 | CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND | |
382 | Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only | |
383 | required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision | |
384 | ||
385 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY | |
386 | ||
387 | This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 | |
388 | according to the A004510 workaround. | |
389 | ||
390 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR | |
391 | This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is | |
392 | connected exclusively to the DSP cores. | |
393 | ||
394 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR | |
395 | This value denotes start offset of M2 memory | |
396 | which is directly connected to the DSP core. | |
397 | ||
398 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR | |
399 | This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly | |
400 | connected to the DSP core. | |
401 | ||
402 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT | |
403 | This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. | |
404 | ||
405 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK | |
406 | Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's. | |
407 | In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply | |
408 | clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock. | |
409 | ||
410 | CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F | |
411 | This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the | |
412 | time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized. | |
413 | ||
414 | CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP | |
415 | Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is | |
416 | supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up. | |
417 | ||
418 | - Generic CPU options: | |
419 | CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN | |
420 | ||
421 | Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those | |
422 | values is arch specific. | |
423 | ||
424 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR | |
425 | Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is | |
426 | found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx as well as some ARM core SoCs. | |
427 | ||
428 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR | |
429 | Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. | |
430 | ||
431 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU | |

453 | implemetation. | |
454 | ||
455 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2 | |
456 | Board config to use DDR2. It can be enabled for SoCs with | |

487 | Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the | |
488 | same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But | |
489 | it could be different for ARM SoCs. | |
490 | ||
491 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B | |
492 | DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special | |
493 | interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape | |
494 | SoCs with ARM core. | |
495 | ||
496 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS | |
497 | Number of controllers used as main memory. | |
498 | ||
499 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS | |
500 | Number of controllers used for other than main memory. | |
501 | ||
502 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_DP_DDR | |
503 | Defines the SoC has DP-DDR used for DPAA. | |
504 | ||
505 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_BE | |
506 | Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian | |
507 | ||
508 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE | |
509 | Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian | |
510 | ||
511 | - MIPS CPU options: | |
512 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET | |
513 | ||
514 | Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack | |
515 | pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before | |
516 | relocation. | |
517 | ||
518 | CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES | |
519 | ||
520 | Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq | |
521 | XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to | |
522 | be swapped if a flash programmer is used. | |
523 | ||
524 | - ARM options: | |
525 | CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH | |
526 | ||
527 | Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not | |
528 | clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. | |
529 | ||
530 | COUNTER_FREQUENCY | |
531 | Generic timer clock source frequency. | |
532 | ||
533 | COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL | |
534 | Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is | |
535 | different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined | |
536 | at run time. | |
537 | ||
538 | - Tegra SoC options: | |
539 | CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE | |
540 | ||
541 | Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain | |
542 | impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode, | |
543 | such as ARM architectural timer initialization. | |
544 | ||
545 | - Linux Kernel Interface: | |
546 | CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] | |
547 | ||
548 | When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions | |
549 | expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. | |
550 | Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. | |
551 | ||
552 | CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT | |
553 | ||
554 | New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be | |
555 | passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware | |
556 | concepts). | |
557 | ||
558 | CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT | |
559 | * New libfdt-based support | |
560 | * Adds the "fdt" command | |
561 | * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt | |
562 | ||
563 | OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. | |
564 | ||
565 | boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC | |
566 | addresses | |
567 | ||
568 | CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP | |
569 | ||
570 | Board code has addition modification that it wants to make | |
571 | to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel | |
572 | ||
573 | CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP | |
574 | ||
575 | Other code has addition modification that it wants to make | |
576 | to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel. | |
577 | This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting | |
578 | the kernel. | |
579 | ||
580 | CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP | |
581 | ||
582 | U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. | |
583 | If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot | |
584 | removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, | |
585 | so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and | |
586 | crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where | |
587 | no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. | |
588 | ||
589 | - vxWorks boot parameters: | |
590 | ||
591 | bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following | |
592 | environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask, | |
593 | serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs. | |
594 | It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. | |
595 | ||
596 | Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will override | |
597 | the defaults discussed just above. | |
598 | ||
599 | - Cache Configuration: | |
600 | CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot | |
601 | ||
602 | - Cache Configuration for ARM: | |
603 | CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache | |
604 | controller | |
605 | CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 | |
606 | controller register space | |
607 | ||
608 | - Serial Ports: | |
609 | CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK | |
610 | ||
611 | If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to | |
612 | the clock speed of the UARTs. | |
613 | ||
614 | CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS | |
615 | ||
616 | If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, | |
617 | define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) | |
618 | port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h | |
619 | ||
620 | CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL | |
621 | ||
622 | Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. | |
623 | Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver | |
624 | ||
625 | - Serial Download Echo Mode: | |
626 | CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO | |
627 | If defined to 1, all characters received during a | |
628 | serial download (using the "loads" command) are | |
629 | echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal | |
630 | emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take | |
631 | time on others. This setting #define's the initial | |
632 | value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. | |
633 | ||
634 | - Removal of commands | |
635 | If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable | |
636 | CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line | |
637 | will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the | |
638 | boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command() | |
639 | instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very | |
640 | simple boot procedures. | |
641 | ||
642 | - Regular expression support: | |
643 | CONFIG_REGEX | |
644 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against | |
645 | the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, | |
646 | which adds regex support to some commands, as for | |
647 | example "env grep" and "setexpr". | |
648 | ||
649 | - Device tree: | |
650 | CONFIG_OF_CONTROL | |
651 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree | |
652 | to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically | |
653 | compiled #defines in the board file. This option is | |
654 | experimental and only available on a few boards. The device | |
655 | tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. | |
656 | ||
657 | U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can | |
658 | be done using one of the three options below: | |
659 | ||
660 | CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE | |
661 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree | |
662 | binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific | |
663 | code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: | |
664 | ||
665 | cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin | |
666 | ||
667 | and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called | |
668 | u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can | |
669 | still use the individual files if you need something more | |
670 | exotic. | |
671 | ||
672 | CONFIG_OF_BOARD | |
673 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree | |
674 | provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with | |
675 | the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support | |
676 | this option (see include/fdtdec.h file). | |
677 | ||
678 | - Watchdog: | |
679 | CONFIG_WATCHDOG | |
680 | If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog | |
681 | support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC | |
682 | specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx | |
683 | CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR | |
684 | register. When supported for a specific SoC is | |
685 | available, then no further board specific code should | |
686 | be needed to use it. | |
687 | ||
688 | CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG | |
689 | When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used | |
690 | SoC, then define this variable and provide board | |
691 | specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. | |
692 | ||
693 | CONFIG_SYS_WATCHDOG_FREQ | |
694 | Some platforms automatically call WATCHDOG_RESET() | |
695 | from the timer interrupt handler every | |
696 | CONFIG_SYS_WATCHDOG_FREQ interrupts. If not set by the | |
697 | board configuration file, a default of CONFIG_SYS_HZ/2 | |
698 | (i.e. 500) is used. Setting CONFIG_SYS_WATCHDOG_FREQ | |
699 | to 0 disables calling WATCHDOG_RESET() from the timer | |
700 | interrupt. | |
701 | ||
702 | - Real-Time Clock: | |
703 | ||
704 | When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC | |
705 | has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the | |
706 | following options: | |
707 | ||
708 | CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC | |
709 | CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC | |
710 | CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC | |
711 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC | |
712 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC | |
713 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC | |
714 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC | |
715 | CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC | |
716 | CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC | |
717 | CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC | |
718 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 | |
719 | CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on | |
720 | RV3029 RTC. | |
721 | ||
722 | Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface | |
723 | must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. | |
724 | ||
725 | - GPIO Support: | |
726 | CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO | |
727 | ||
728 | The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of | |
729 | chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of | |
730 | pins supported by a particular chip. | |
731 | ||
732 | Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface | |
733 | must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. | |
734 | ||
735 | - I/O tracing: | |
736 | When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O | |
737 | accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out | |
738 | to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is | |
739 | useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that | |
740 | the driver behaves the same way before and after a code | |
741 | change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To | |
742 | add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' | |
743 | to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. | |
744 | ||
745 | Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. | |
746 | Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will | |
747 | still continue to operate. | |
748 | ||
749 | iotrace is enabled | |
750 | Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) | |
751 | Size: 00010000 (buffer size) | |
752 | Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) | |
753 | Output: 10000120 (start + offset) | |
754 | Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) | |
755 | CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) | |
756 | ||
757 | - Timestamp Support: | |
758 | ||
759 | When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp | |
760 | (date and time) of an image is printed by image | |
761 | commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is | |
762 | automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . | |
763 | ||
764 | - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: | |
765 | Zero or more of the following: | |
766 | CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. | |
767 | CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. | |
768 | CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the | |
769 | bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see | |
770 | disk/part_efi.c | |
771 | CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at | |
772 | least one non-MTD partition type as well. | |
773 | ||
774 | - IDE Reset method: | |
775 | CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several | |
776 | board configurations files but used nowhere! | |
777 | ||
778 | CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will | |
779 | be performed by calling the function | |
780 | ide_set_reset(int reset) | |
781 | which has to be defined in a board specific file | |
782 | ||
783 | - ATAPI Support: | |
784 | CONFIG_ATAPI | |
785 | ||
786 | Set this to enable ATAPI support. | |
787 | ||
788 | - LBA48 Support | |
789 | CONFIG_LBA48 | |
790 | ||
791 | Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB | |
792 | Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. | |
793 | Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' | |
794 | support disks up to 2.1TB. | |
795 | ||
796 | CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: | |
797 | When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. | |
798 | Default is 32bit. | |
799 | ||
800 | - SCSI Support: | |
801 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and | |
802 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * | |
803 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the | |
804 | maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target | |
805 | devices. | |
806 | ||
807 | The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of | |
808 | SCSI devices found during the last scan. | |
809 | ||
810 | - NETWORK Support (PCI): | |
811 | CONFIG_E1000_SPI | |
812 | Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. | |
813 | This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one | |
814 | of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. | |
815 | ||
816 | CONFIG_NATSEMI | |
817 | Support for National dp83815 chips. | |
818 | ||
819 | CONFIG_NS8382X | |
820 | Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. | |
821 | ||
822 | - NETWORK Support (other): | |
823 | CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC | |
824 | Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device | |
825 | ||
826 | CONFIG_LAN91C96 | |
827 | Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. | |
828 | ||
829 | CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT | |
830 | Define this to enable 32 bit addressing | |
831 | ||
832 | CONFIG_SMC91111 | |
833 | Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip | |
834 | ||
835 | CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE | |

837 | of the device (I/O space) | |
838 | ||
839 | CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT | |
840 | Define this if data bus is 32 bits | |
841 | ||
842 | CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS | |
843 | Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros | |
844 | (some hardware wont work with macros) | |
845 | ||
846 | CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT | |
847 | Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. | |
848 | ||
849 | CONFIG_FTGMAC100 | |
850 | Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet | |
851 | ||
852 | CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA | |
853 | Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. | |
854 | Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. | |
855 | If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur | |
856 | wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or | |
857 | useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit | |
858 | control registers. This behavior won't affect the | |
859 | correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. | |
860 | ||
861 | CONFIG_SH_ETHER | |
862 | Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller | |

864 | CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT | |
865 | Define the number of ports to be used | |
866 | ||
867 | CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR | |
868 | Define the ETH PHY's address | |
869 | ||
870 | CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK | |
871 | If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. | |
872 | ||
873 | - TPM Support: | |
874 | CONFIG_TPM | |
875 | Support TPM devices. | |
876 | ||
877 | CONFIG_TPM_TIS_INFINEON | |
878 | Support for Infineon i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device | |
879 | per system is supported at this time. | |
880 | ||
881 | CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION | |
882 | Define the burst count bytes upper limit | |
883 | ||
884 | CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24 | |
885 | Support for STMicroelectronics TPM devices. Requires DM_TPM support. | |
886 | ||
887 | CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_I2C | |
888 | Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 I2C devices. | |
889 | Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and I2C. | |
890 | ||
891 | CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_SPI | |
892 | Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 SPI devices. | |
893 | Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and SPI. | |
894 | ||
895 | CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI | |
896 | Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. | |
897 | ||
898 | CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC | |
899 | Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device | |
900 | per system is supported at this time. | |
901 | ||
902 | CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS | |
903 | Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped | |
904 | to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at | |
905 | 0xfed40000. | |
906 | ||
907 | CONFIG_TPM | |
908 | Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides | |
909 | functional interfaces to some TPM commands. | |
910 | Requires support for a TPM device. | |
911 | ||
912 | CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS | |
913 | Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. | |
914 | Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. | |
915 | ||
916 | - USB Support: | |
917 | At the moment only the UHCI host controller is | |
918 | supported (PIP405, MIP405); define | |
919 | CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. | |
920 | define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard | |
921 | and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB | |
922 | storage devices. | |
923 | Note: | |
924 | Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives | |
925 | (TEAC FD-05PUB). | |
926 | ||
927 | CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the | |
928 | txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. | |
929 | ||
930 | CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2 | |
931 | HW module registers. | |
932 | ||
933 | - USB Device: | |
934 | Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. | |
935 | Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the | |
936 | command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and | |
937 | attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print | |
938 | it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty | |
939 | can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to | |
940 | appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a | |
941 | Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. | |
942 | If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate | |
943 | a Linux host by | |
944 | # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID | |
945 | else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment | |
946 | variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following | |
947 | might be defined in YourBoardName.h | |
948 | ||
949 | CONFIG_USB_DEVICE | |
950 | Define this to build a UDC device | |
951 | ||
952 | CONFIG_USB_TTY | |
953 | Define this to have a tty type of device available to | |
954 | talk to the UDC device | |
955 | ||
956 | CONFIG_USBD_HS | |
957 | Define this to enable the high speed support for usb | |
958 | device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine | |
959 | int is_usbd_high_speed(void) | |
960 | also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll | |
961 | whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full | |
962 | speed. | |
963 | ||
964 | If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to | |
965 | define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h | |
966 | or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define | |
967 | CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, | |
968 | CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot | |
969 | should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. | |
970 | ||
971 | CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER | |
972 | Define this string as the name of your company for | |
973 | - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" | |
974 | ||
975 | CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME | |
976 | Define this string as the name of your product | |
977 | - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" | |
978 | ||
979 | CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID | |
980 | Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB | |
981 | Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID | |
982 | to avoid polluting the USB namespace. | |
983 | - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF | |
984 | ||
985 | CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID | |
986 | Define this as the unique Product ID | |
987 | for your device | |
988 | - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF | |
989 | ||
990 | - ULPI Layer Support: | |
991 | The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via | |
992 | the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY | |
993 | via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and | |
994 | the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based | |
995 | viewport is supported. | |
996 | To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and | |
997 | CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. | |
998 | If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the | |
999 | standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to | |
1000 | the appropriate value in Hz. | |
1001 | ||
1002 | - MMC Support: | |
1003 | The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To | |
1004 | enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be | |
1005 | accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device | |
1006 | to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is | |
1007 | enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with | |
1008 | the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. | |
1009 | ||
1010 | CONFIG_SH_MMCIF | |
1011 | Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller | |
1012 | ||
1013 | CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR | |
1014 | Define the base address of MMCIF registers | |
1015 | ||
1016 | CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK | |
1017 | Define the clock frequency for MMCIF | |
1018 | ||
1019 | - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: | |
1020 | CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB | |
1021 | This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class | |
1022 | ||
1023 | CONFIG_DFU_NAND | |
1024 | This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. | |
1025 | ||
1026 | CONFIG_DFU_RAM | |
1027 | This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. | |
1028 | Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but | |
1029 | allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, | |
1030 | one that would help mostly the developer. | |
1031 | ||
1032 | CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE | |
1033 | Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the | |
1034 | raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer | |
1035 | configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable | |
1036 | through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. | |
1037 | ||
1038 | CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE | |
1039 | When updating files rather than the raw storage device, | |
1040 | we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write | |
1041 | the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define | |
1042 | this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. | |
1043 | Default is 4 MiB if undefined. | |
1044 | ||
1045 | DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT | |
1046 | Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the | |
1047 | host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending | |
1048 | a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. | |
1049 | ||
1050 | DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT | |
1051 | Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when | |
1052 | entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before | |
1053 | sending again an USB request to the device. | |
1054 | ||
1055 | - Journaling Flash filesystem support: | |
1056 | CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND | |
1057 | Define these for a default partition on a NAND device | |
1058 | ||
1059 | CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, | |
1060 | CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS | |
1061 | Define these for a default partition on a NOR device | |
1062 | ||
1063 | - Keyboard Support: | |
1064 | See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers. | |
1065 | ||
1066 | - Video support: | |
1067 | CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB | |
1068 | Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for | |
1069 | SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU | |
1070 | support, and should also define these other macros: | |
1071 | ||
1072 | CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR | |
1073 | CONFIG_VIDEO | |
1074 | CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE | |
1075 | CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR | |
1076 | CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE | |
1077 | CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO | |
1078 | CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO | |
1079 | ||
1080 | The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment | |
1081 | variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during | |
1082 | boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a | |
1083 | description of this variable. | |
1084 | ||
1085 | - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD | |
1086 | ||
1087 | Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD | |
1088 | display); also select one of the supported displays | |
1089 | by defining one of these: | |
1090 | ||
1091 | CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: | |
1092 | ||
1093 | HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. | |
1094 | ||
1095 | CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: | |
1096 | ||
1097 | NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. | |
1098 | ||
1099 | CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 | |
1100 | ||
1101 | NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. | |
1102 | Active, color, single scan. | |
1103 | ||
1104 | CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 | |
1105 | ||
1106 | NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. | |
1107 | Active, color, single scan. | |
1108 | ||
1109 | CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 | |
1110 | ||
1111 | Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. | |
1112 | It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. | |
1113 | ||
1114 | CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 | |
1115 | ||
1116 | Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. | |
1117 | Active, color, single scan. | |
1118 | ||
1119 | CONFIG_HLD1045 | |
1120 | ||
1121 | HLD1045 display, 640x480. | |
1122 | Active, color, single scan. | |
1123 | ||
1124 | CONFIG_OPTREX_BW | |
1125 | ||
1126 | Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 | |
1127 | or | |
1128 | Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T | |
1129 | or | |
1130 | Hitachi SP14Q002 | |
1131 | ||
1132 | 320x240. Black & white. | |
1133 | ||
1134 | CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT | |
1135 | ||
1136 | Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is | |
1137 | defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. | |
1138 | For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE | |
1139 | here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on | |
1140 | a per-section basis. | |
1141 | ||
1142 | ||
1143 | CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION | |
1144 | ||
1145 | Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait | |
1146 | mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree, | |
1147 | we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the | |
1148 | framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are | |
1149 | printed out. | |
1150 | Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be | |
1151 | initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of | |
1152 | "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code. | |
1153 | The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to | |
1154 | fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline): | |
1155 | 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree | |
1156 | 1 = 90 degree rotation | |
1157 | 2 = 180 degree rotation | |
1158 | 3 = 270 degree rotation | |
1159 | ||
1160 | If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be | |
1161 | initialized with 0degree rotation. | |
1162 | ||
1163 | CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 | |
1164 | ||
1165 | Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. | |
1166 | ||
1167 | - MII/PHY support: | |
1168 | CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) | |
1169 | ||
1170 | The clock frequency of the MII bus | |
1171 | ||
1172 | CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY | |
1173 | ||
1174 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
1175 | reset before any MII register access is possible. | |
1176 | For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay | |
1177 | required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) | |
1178 | ||
1179 | CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) | |
1180 | ||
1181 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
1182 | command issued before MII status register can be read | |
1183 | ||
1184 | - IP address: | |
1185 | CONFIG_IPADDR | |
1186 | ||
1187 | Define a default value for the IP address to use for | |
1188 | the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not | |
1189 | determined through e.g. bootp. | |
1190 | (Environment variable "ipaddr") | |
1191 | ||
1192 | - Server IP address: | |
1193 | CONFIG_SERVERIP | |
1194 | ||
1195 | Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP | |
1196 | server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. | |
1197 | (Environment variable "serverip") | |
1198 | ||
1199 | CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR | |
1200 | ||
1201 | Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' | |
1202 | for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) | |
1203 | ||
1204 | - Gateway IP address: | |
1205 | CONFIG_GATEWAYIP | |
1206 | ||
1207 | Defines a default value for the IP address of the | |
1208 | default router where packets to other networks are | |
1209 | sent to. | |
1210 | (Environment variable "gatewayip") | |
1211 | ||
1212 | - Subnet mask: | |
1213 | CONFIG_NETMASK | |
1214 | ||
1215 | Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or | |
1216 | routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP | |
1217 | address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be | |
1218 | forwarded through a router. | |
1219 | (Environment variable "netmask") | |
1220 | ||
1221 | - BOOTP Recovery Mode: | |
1222 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY | |
1223 | ||
1224 | If you have many targets in a network that try to | |
1225 | boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all | |
1226 | systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same | |
1227 | moment (which would happen for instance at recovery | |
1228 | from a power failure, when all systems will try to | |
1229 | boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining | |
1230 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be | |
1231 | inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The | |
1232 | following delays are inserted then: | |
1233 | ||
1234 | 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec | |
1235 | 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec | |
1236 | 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec | |
1237 | 4th and following | |
1238 | BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec | |
1239 | ||
1240 | CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE | |
1241 | ||
1242 | BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The | |
1243 | server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and | |
1244 | U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of | |
1245 | an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses | |
1246 | aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP | |
1247 | ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to | |
1248 | respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it | |
1249 | takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that | |
1250 | time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order | |
1251 | to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these | |
1252 | retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of | |
1253 | IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this | |
1254 | cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding | |
1255 | requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers | |
1256 | from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. | |
1257 | ||
1258 | - DHCP Advanced Options: | |
1259 | You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining | |
1260 | CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: | |
1261 | ||
1262 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN | |
1263 | CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE | |
1264 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER | |
1265 | CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET | |
1266 | CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX | |
1267 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL | |
1268 | ||
1269 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip | |
1270 | environment variable, not the BOOTP server. | |
1271 | ||
1272 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found | |
1273 | after the configured retry count, the call will fail | |
1274 | instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over | |
1275 | to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server | |
1276 | is not available. | |
1277 | ||
1278 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY | |
1279 | ||
1280 | A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between | |
1281 | receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". | |
1282 | This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't | |
1283 | respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an | |
1284 | AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed | |
1285 | to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 | |
1286 | DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at | |
1287 | least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope | |
1288 | that one of the retries will be successful but note that | |
1289 | the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than | |
1290 | this delay. | |
1291 | ||
1292 | - Link-local IP address negotiation: | |
1293 | Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network | |
1294 | for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. | |
1295 | This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed | |
1296 | to exist in all environments that the device must operate. | |
1297 | ||
1298 | See doc/README.link-local for more information. | |
1299 | ||
1300 | - MAC address from environment variables | |
1301 | ||
1302 | FDT_SEQ_MACADDR_FROM_ENV | |
1303 | ||
1304 | Fix-up device tree with MAC addresses fetched sequentially from | |
1305 | environment variables. This config work on assumption that | |
1306 | non-usable ethernet node of device-tree are either not present | |
1307 | or their status has been marked as "disabled". | |
1308 | ||
1309 | - CDP Options: | |
1310 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID | |
1311 | ||
1312 | The device id used in CDP trigger frames. | |
1313 | ||
1314 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX | |
1315 | ||
1316 | A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address | |
1317 | of the device. | |
1318 | ||
1319 | CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID | |
1320 | ||
1321 | A printf format string which contains the ascii name of | |
1322 | the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets | |
1323 | eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. | |
1324 | ||
1325 | CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES | |
1326 | ||
1327 | A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; | |
1328 | 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. | |
1329 | ||
1330 | CONFIG_CDP_VERSION | |
1331 | ||
1332 | An ascii string containing the version of the software. | |
1333 | ||
1334 | CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM | |
1335 | ||
1336 | An ascii string containing the name of the platform. | |
1337 | ||
1338 | CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER | |
1339 | ||
1340 | A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. | |
1341 | ||
1342 | CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION | |
1343 | ||
1344 | A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the | |
1345 | device in .1 of milliwatts. | |
1346 | ||
1347 | CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE | |
1348 | ||
1349 | A byte containing the id of the VLAN. | |
1350 | ||
1351 | - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS | |
1352 | ||
1353 | Several configurations allow to display the current | |
1354 | status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink | |
1355 | fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as | |
1356 | soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and | |
1357 | start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running | |
1358 | (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux | |
1359 | kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this | |
1360 | feature in U-Boot. | |
1361 | ||
1362 | Additional options: | |
1363 | ||
1364 | CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO | |
1365 | The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. | |
1366 | In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a | |
1367 | status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO | |
1368 | to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. | |
1369 | ||
1370 | CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE | |
1371 | Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which | |
1372 | case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and | |
1373 | GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. | |
1374 | In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined | |
1375 | with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. | |
1376 | ||
1377 | - I2C Support: | |
1378 | CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES | |
1379 | Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. | |
1380 | ||
1381 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS | |
1382 | define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. | |
1383 | if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can | |
1384 | omit this define. | |
1385 | ||
1386 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS | |
1387 | define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected | |
1388 | on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this | |
1389 | define. | |
1390 | ||
1391 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES | |
1392 | hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if | |
1393 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example | |
1394 | a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and | |
1395 | CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: | |
1396 | ||
1397 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ | |
1398 | {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ | |
1399 | {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ | |
1400 | {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ | |
1401 | {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ | |
1402 | {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ | |
1403 | {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ | |
1404 | {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ | |
1405 | {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ | |
1406 | } | |
1407 | ||
1408 | which defines | |
1409 | bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux | |
1410 | bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 | |
1411 | bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 | |
1412 | bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 | |
1413 | bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 | |
1414 | bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 | |
1415 | bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux | |
1416 | bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 | |
1417 | bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 | |
1418 | ||
1419 | If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. | |
1420 | ||
1421 | - Legacy I2C Support: | |
1422 | If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) | |
1423 | then the following macros need to be defined (examples are | |
1424 | from include/configs/lwmon.h): | |
1425 | ||
1426 | I2C_INIT | |
1427 | ||
1428 | (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C | |
1429 | controller or configure ports. | |
1430 | ||
1431 | eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) | |
1432 | ||
1433 | I2C_ACTIVE | |
1434 | ||
1435 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line active | |
1436 | (driven). If the data line is open collector, this | |
1437 | define can be null. | |
1438 | ||
1439 | eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) | |
1440 | ||
1441 | I2C_TRISTATE | |
1442 | ||
1443 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated | |
1444 | (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this | |
1445 | define can be null. | |
1446 | ||
1447 | eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) | |
1448 | ||
1449 | I2C_READ | |
1450 | ||
1451 | Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, | |
1452 | false if it is low. | |
1453 | ||
1454 | eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) | |
1455 | ||
1456 | I2C_SDA(bit) | |
1457 | ||
1458 | If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it | |
1459 | is false, it clears it (low). | |
1460 | ||
1461 | eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ | |
1462 | if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ | |
1463 | else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA | |
1464 | ||
1465 | I2C_SCL(bit) | |
1466 | ||
1467 | If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it | |
1468 | is false, it clears it (low). | |
1469 | ||
1470 | eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ | |
1471 | if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ | |
1472 | else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL | |
1473 | ||
1474 | I2C_DELAY | |
1475 | ||
1476 | This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this | |
1477 | controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus | |
1478 | is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something | |
1479 | like: | |
1480 | ||
1481 | #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) | |
1482 | ||
1483 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA | |
1484 | ||
1485 | If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), | |
1486 | then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be | |
1487 | used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will | |
1488 | have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. | |
1489 | ||
1490 | You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to | |
1491 | the generic GPIO functions. | |
1492 | ||
1493 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD | |
1494 | ||
1495 | When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer | |
1496 | chips might think that the current transfer is still | |
1497 | in progress. On some boards it is possible to access | |
1498 | the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the | |
1499 | processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin | |
1500 | connected to the bus. If this option is defined a | |
1501 | custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c | |
1502 | is run early in the boot sequence. | |
1503 | ||
1504 | CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS | |
1505 | ||
1506 | This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which | |
1507 | must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is | |
1508 | active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. | |
1509 | Note that bus numbering is zero-based. | |
1510 | ||
1511 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES | |
1512 | ||
1513 | This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped | |
1514 | when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS | |
1515 | is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify | |
1516 | a 1D array of device addresses | |
1517 | ||
1518 | e.g. | |
1519 | #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS | |
1520 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} | |
1521 | ||
1522 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus | |
1523 | ||
1524 | #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS | |
1525 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} | |
1526 | ||
1527 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 | |
1528 | ||
1529 | CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM | |
1530 | ||
1531 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. | |
1532 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. | |
1533 | ||
1534 | CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM | |
1535 | ||
1536 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. | |
1537 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. | |
1538 | ||
1539 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START | |
1540 | ||
1541 | defining this will force the i2c_read() function in | |
1542 | the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start | |
1543 | between writing the address pointer and reading the | |
1544 | data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour | |
1545 | of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C | |
1546 | devices can use either method, but some require one or | |
1547 | the other. | |
1548 | ||
1549 | - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI | |
1550 | ||
1551 | Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with | |
1552 | SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and | |
1553 | D/As on the SACSng board) | |
1554 | ||
1555 | CONFIG_SOFT_SPI | |
1556 | ||
1557 | Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than | |
1558 | using hardware support. This is a general purpose | |
1559 | driver that only requires three general I/O port pins | |
1560 | (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is | |
1561 | defined, the board configuration must define several | |
1562 | SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For | |
1563 | an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. | |
1564 | ||
1565 | CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT | |
1566 | Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. | |
1567 | default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ | |
1568 | ||
1569 | - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA | |
1570 | ||
1571 | Enables FPGA subsystem. | |
1572 | ||
1573 | CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> | |
1574 | ||
1575 | Enables support for specific chip vendors. | |
1576 | (ALTERA, XILINX) | |
1577 | ||
1578 | CONFIG_FPGA_<family> | |
1579 | ||
1580 | Enables support for FPGA family. | |
1581 | (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) | |
1582 | ||
1583 | CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT | |
1584 | ||
1585 | Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. | |
1586 | ||
1587 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK | |
1588 | ||
1589 | Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. | |
1590 | ||
1591 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY | |
1592 | ||
1593 | Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy | |
1594 | status by the configuration function. This option | |
1595 | will require a board or device specific function to | |
1596 | be written. | |
1597 | ||
1598 | CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY | |
1599 | ||
1600 | If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA | |
1601 | configuration driver. | |
1602 | ||
1603 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC | |
1604 | Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration | |
1605 | ||
1606 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR | |
1607 | ||
1608 | Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile | |
1609 | loading. For example, abort during Virtex II | |
1610 | configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which | |
1611 | indicated a CRC error). | |
1612 | ||
1613 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT | |
1614 | ||
1615 | Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert | |
1616 | after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II | |
1617 | FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 | |
1618 | ms. | |
1619 | ||
1620 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY | |
1621 | ||
1622 | Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during | |
1623 | Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. | |
1624 | ||
1625 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG | |
1626 | ||
1627 | Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is | |
1628 | 200 ms. | |
1629 | ||
1630 | - Configuration Management: | |
1631 | ||
1632 | CONFIG_IDENT_STRING | |
1633 | ||
1634 | If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot | |
1635 | version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) | |
1636 | ||
1637 | - Vendor Parameter Protection: | |
1638 | ||
1639 | U-Boot considers the values of the environment | |
1640 | variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and | |
1641 | "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that | |
1642 | are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and | |
1643 | protects these variables from casual modification by | |
1644 | the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, | |
1645 | and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can | |
1646 | change this behaviour: | |
1647 | ||
1648 | If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config | |
1649 | file, the write protection for vendor parameters is | |
1650 | completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete | |
1651 | these parameters. | |
1652 | ||
1653 | Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the | |
1654 | default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default | |
1655 | Ethernet address is installed in the environment, | |
1656 | which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The | |
1657 | serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains | |
1658 | read-only.] | |
1659 | ||
1660 | The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way | |
1661 | for any variable by configuring the type of access | |
1662 | to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable | |
1663 | or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. | |
1664 | ||
1665 | - Protected RAM: | |
1666 | CONFIG_PRAM | |
1667 | ||
1668 | Define this variable to enable the reservation of | |
1669 | "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten | |
1670 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of | |
1671 | kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite | |
1672 | this default value by defining an environment | |
1673 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to | |
1674 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will | |
1675 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is | |
1676 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will | |
1677 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of | |
1678 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot | |
1679 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: | |
1680 | ||
1681 | setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} | |
1682 | saveenv | |
1683 | ||
1684 | This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, | |
1685 | either, which results in a memory region that will | |
1686 | not be affected by reboots. | |
1687 | ||
1688 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic | |
1689 | detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that | |
1690 | this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the | |
1691 | following board configurations are known to be | |
1692 | "pRAM-clean": | |
1693 | ||
1694 | IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, | |
1695 | HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, | |
1696 | FLAGADM | |
1697 | ||
1698 | - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) | |
1699 | Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not | |
1700 | normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures | |
1701 | support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit | |
1702 | machines using physical address extension or similar. | |
1703 | Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which | |
1704 | currently only supports clearing the memory. | |
1705 | ||
1706 | - Error Recovery: | |
1707 | CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT | |
1708 | ||
1709 | This variable defines the number of retries for | |
1710 | network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP | |
1711 | before giving up the operation. If not defined, a | |
1712 | default value of 5 is used. | |
1713 | ||
1714 | CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT | |
1715 | ||
1716 | Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. | |
1717 | ||
1718 | CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT | |
1719 | ||
1720 | Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. | |
1721 | If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, | |
1722 | try longer timeout such as | |
1723 | #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL | |
1724 | ||
1725 | Note: | |
1726 | ||
1727 | In the current implementation, the local variables | |
1728 | space and global environment variables space are | |
1729 | separated. Local variables are those you define by | |
1730 | simply typing `name=value'. To access a local | |
1731 | variable later on, you have write `$name' or | |
1732 | `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable | |
1733 | directly type `$name' at the command prompt. | |
1734 | ||
1735 | Global environment variables are those you use | |
1736 | setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored | |
1737 | in such a variable, you need to use the run command, | |
1738 | and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. | |
1739 | ||
1740 | To store commands and special characters in a | |
1741 | variable, please use double quotation marks | |
1742 | surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead | |
1743 | of the backslashes before semicolons and special | |
1744 | symbols. | |
1745 | ||
1746 | - Command Line Editing and History: | |
1747 | CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT | |
1748 | ||
1749 | Enable support for changing the command prompt string | |
1750 | at run-time. Only static string is supported so far. | |
1751 | The string is obtained from environment variables PS1 | |
1752 | and PS2. | |
1753 | ||
1754 | - Default Environment: | |
1755 | CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS | |
1756 | ||
1757 | Define this to contain any number of null terminated | |
1758 | strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of | |
1759 | the default environment compiled into the boot image. | |
1760 | ||
1761 | For example, place something like this in your | |
1762 | board's config file: | |
1763 | ||
1764 | #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ | |
1765 | "myvar1=value1\0" \ | |
1766 | "myvar2=value2\0" | |
1767 | ||
1768 | Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the | |
1769 | internal format how the environment is stored by the | |
1770 | U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported | |
1771 | interface! Although it is unlikely that this format | |
1772 | will change soon, there is no guarantee either. | |
1773 | You better know what you are doing here. | |
1774 | ||
1775 | Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is | |
1776 | discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset | |
1777 | the environment like the "source" command or the | |
1778 | boot command first. | |
1779 | ||
1780 | CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT | |
1781 | ||
1782 | Normally the environment is loaded when the board is | |
1783 | initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits | |
1784 | that so that the environment is not available until | |
1785 | explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL | |
1786 | this is instead controlled by the value of | |
1787 | /config/load-environment. | |
1788 | ||
1789 | - TFTP Fixed UDP Port: | |
1790 | CONFIG_TFTP_PORT | |
1791 | ||
1792 | If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp | |
1793 | is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. | |
1794 | If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port | |
1795 | number generator is used. | |
1796 | ||
1797 | Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply | |
1798 | the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't | |
1799 | defined, the normal port 69 is used. | |
1800 | ||
1801 | The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to | |
1802 | blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured | |
1803 | target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of | |
1804 | "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing | |
1805 | the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. | |
1806 | A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, | |
1807 | but sometimes that is not allowed. | |
1808 | ||
1809 | CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR | |
1810 | ||
1811 | This option defines a board specific value for the | |
1812 | address where standalone program gets loaded, thus | |
1813 | overwriting the architecture dependent default | |
1814 | settings. | |
1815 | ||
1816 | - Frame Buffer Address: | |
1817 | CONFIG_FB_ADDR | |
1818 | ||
1819 | Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific | |
1820 | address for frame buffer. This is typically the case | |
1821 | when using a graphics controller has separate video | |
1822 | memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at | |
1823 | the given address instead of dynamically reserving it | |
1824 | in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs | |
1825 | the memory for the frame buffer depending on the | |
1826 | configured panel size. | |
1827 | ||
1828 | Please see board_init_f function. | |
1829 | ||
1830 | - Automatic software updates via TFTP server | |
1831 | CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP | |
1832 | CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX | |
1833 | CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX | |
1834 | ||
1835 | These options enable and control the auto-update feature; | |
1836 | for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. | |
1837 | ||
1838 | - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) | |
1839 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD | |
1840 | This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest | |
1841 | erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks | |
1842 | of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing | |
1843 | wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase | |
1844 | counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. | |
1845 | ||
1846 | The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and | |
1847 | other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. | |
1848 | However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock | |
1849 | life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., | |
1850 | to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). | |
1851 | ||
1852 | default: 4096 | |
1853 | ||
1854 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT | |
1855 | This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI | |
1856 | expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the | |
1857 | underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR | |
1858 | flash), this value is ignored. | |
1859 | ||
1860 | NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM | |
1861 | (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. | |
1862 | The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks | |
1863 | then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", | |
1864 | which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total | |
1865 | count of eraseblocks on the chip). | |
1866 | ||
1867 | To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to | |
1868 | reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks | |
1869 | handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire | |
1870 | NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means | |
1871 | that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad | |
1872 | eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same | |
1873 | size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a | |
1874 | partition. | |
1875 | ||
1876 | default: 20 | |
1877 | ||
1878 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP | |
1879 | Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device | |
1880 | in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it | |
1881 | only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. | |
1882 | The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach | |
1883 | the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where | |
1884 | attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install | |
1885 | a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter | |
1886 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note | |
1887 | that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations | |
1888 | without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap | |
1889 | fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. | |
1890 | ||
1891 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT | |
1892 | Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images | |
1893 | without a fastmap. | |
1894 | default: 0 | |
1895 | ||
1896 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG | |
1897 | Enable UBI fastmap debug | |
1898 | default: 0 | |
1899 | ||
1900 | - SPL framework | |
1901 | CONFIG_SPL | |
1902 | Enable building of SPL globally. | |
1903 | ||
1904 | CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT | |
1905 | Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. | |
1906 | When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory | |
1907 | used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. | |
1908 | CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE | |
1909 | must not be both defined at the same time. | |
1910 | ||
1911 | CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE | |
1912 | Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and | |
1913 | linker lists sections), BSS excluded. | |
1914 | When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does | |
1915 | not exceed it. | |
1916 | ||
1917 | CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE | |
1918 | Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to | |
1919 | CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). | |
1920 | ||
1921 | CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR | |
1922 | Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. | |
1923 | ||
1924 | CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE | |
1925 | Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. | |
1926 | When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used | |
1927 | by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. | |
1928 | CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE | |
1929 | must not be both defined at the same time. | |
1930 | ||
1931 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK | |
1932 | Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use | |
1933 | ||
1934 | CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE | |
1935 | When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has | |
1936 | loaded does not have a signature. | |
1937 | Defining this is useful when code which loads images | |
1938 | in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors | |
1939 | will be caught. | |
1940 | An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will | |
1941 | consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad, | |
1942 | and thus should be skipped silently. | |
1943 | ||
1944 | CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK | |
1945 | Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after | |
1946 | relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to | |
1947 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK. | |
1948 | ||
1949 | CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START | |
1950 | Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. | |
1951 | When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and | |
1952 | it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc() | |
1953 | can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined. | |
1954 | ||
1955 | CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE | |
1956 | The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. | |
1957 | ||
1958 | CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT | |
1959 | For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information | |
1960 | about the running system. | |
1961 | ||
1962 | CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL | |
1963 | Arch init code should be built for a very small image | |
1964 | ||
1965 | CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION | |
1966 | Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being | |
1967 | used in raw mode | |
1968 | ||
1969 | CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR | |
1970 | Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being | |
1971 | used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) | |
1972 | ||
1973 | CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, | |
1974 | CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS | |
1975 | Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument | |
1976 | parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode | |
1977 | (for falcon mode) | |
1978 | ||
1979 | CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME | |
1980 | Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem | |
1981 | ||
1982 | CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME | |
1983 | Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading | |
1984 | from filesystem (for Falcon mode) | |
1985 | ||
1986 | CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME | |
1987 | Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters | |
1988 | when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode) | |
1989 | ||
1990 | CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND | |
1991 | Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that | |
1992 | start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before | |
1993 | continuing (the hardware starts execution after just | |
1994 | loading the first page rather than the full 4K). | |
1995 | ||
1996 | CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE | |
1997 | Avoid SPL relocation | |
1998 | ||
1999 | CONFIG_SPL_NAND_IDENT | |
2000 | SPL uses the chip ID list to identify the NAND flash. | |
2001 | Requires CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE. | |
2002 | ||
2003 | CONFIG_SPL_UBI | |
2004 | Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and | |
2005 | loader | |
2006 | ||
2007 | CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY | |
2008 | Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only | |
2009 | if you need to save space. | |
2010 | ||
2011 | CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR | |
2012 | Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in | |
2013 | SPL binary. | |
2014 | ||
2015 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, | |
2016 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, | |
2017 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, | |
2018 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, | |
2019 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES | |
2020 | Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses | |
2021 | to read U-Boot | |
2022 | ||
2023 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST | |
2024 | Location in memory to load U-Boot to | |
2025 | ||
2026 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE | |
2027 | Size of image to load | |
2028 | ||
2029 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START | |
2030 | Entry point in loaded image to jump to | |
2031 | ||
2032 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST | |
2033 | Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the | |
2034 | data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms. | |
2035 | ||
2036 | CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE | |
2037 | Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary | |
2038 | ||
2039 | CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO | |
2040 | Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending | |
2041 | the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as | |
2042 | CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. | |
2043 | CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL | |
2044 | payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. | |
2045 | ||
2046 | CONFIG_SPL_TARGET | |
2047 | Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs | |
2048 | use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for | |
2049 | example if more than one image needs to be produced. | |
2050 | ||
2051 | CONFIG_SPL_FIT_PRINT | |
2052 | Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of | |
2053 | code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this | |
2054 | option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the | |
2055 | bootm command when booting a FIT image. | |
2056 | ||
2057 | - TPL framework | |
2058 | CONFIG_TPL | |
2059 | Enable building of TPL globally. | |
2060 | ||
2061 | CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO | |
2062 | Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending | |
2063 | the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as | |
2064 | CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. | |
2065 | CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL | |
2066 | payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. | |
2067 | ||
2068 | - Interrupt support (PPC): | |
2069 | ||
2070 | There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() | |
2071 | for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() | |
2072 | for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() | |
2073 | should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If | |
2074 | CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt | |
2075 | (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. | |
2076 | timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU | |
2077 | specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led | |
2078 | / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from | |
2079 | general timer_interrupt(). | |
2080 | ||
2081 | ||
2082 | Board initialization settings: | |
2083 | ------------------------------ | |
2084 | ||
2085 | During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions | |
2086 | to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup | |
2087 | before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the | |
2088 | following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is | |
2089 | architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c | |
2090 | typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). | |
2091 | ||
2092 | - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() | |
2093 | - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() | |
2094 | - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() | |
2095 | - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() | |
2096 | ||
2097 | Configuration Settings: | |
2098 | ----------------------- | |
2099 | ||
2100 | - MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. | |
2101 | Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. | |
2102 | ||
2103 | - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; | |
2104 | undefine this when you're short of memory. | |
2105 | ||
2106 | - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default | |
2107 | width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. | |
2108 | ||
2109 | - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to | |
2110 | prompt for user input. | |
2111 | ||
2112 | - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console | |
2113 | ||
2114 | - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output | |
2115 | ||
2116 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands | |
2117 | ||
2118 | - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to | |
2119 | the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is | |
2120 | booted | |
2121 | ||
2122 | - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: | |
2123 | List of legal baudrate settings for this board. | |
2124 | ||
2125 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE | |
2126 | Only implemented for ARMv8 for now. | |
2127 | If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory | |
2128 | is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS. | |
2129 | This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable | |
2130 | gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems | |
2131 | the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks, | |
2132 | this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address. | |
2133 | ||
2134 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE: | |
2135 | If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, | |
2136 | this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top | |
2137 | (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By | |
2138 | fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed | |
2139 | the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. | |
2140 | This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux | |
2141 | board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that | |
2142 | recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup | |
2143 | will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. | |
2144 | ||
2145 | This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx | |
2146 | CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't | |
2147 | be touched. | |
2148 | ||
2149 | WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of | |
2150 | the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, | |
2151 | then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a | |
2152 | non page size aligned address and this could cause major | |
2153 | problems. | |
2154 | ||
2155 | - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: | |
2156 | Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download | |
2157 | ||
2158 | - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: | |
2159 | Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. | |
2160 | ||
2161 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: | |
2162 | Physical start address of Flash memory. | |
2163 | ||
2164 | - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: | |
2165 | Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by | |
2166 | make config files to be same as the text base address | |
2167 | (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as | |
2168 | CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. | |
2169 | ||
2170 | - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: | |
2171 | Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to | |
2172 | determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is | |
2173 | embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate | |
2174 | flash sector. | |
2175 | ||
2176 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: | |
2177 | Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. | |
2178 | ||
2179 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN | |
2180 | Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If | |
2181 | this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation | |
2182 | will become available before relocation. The address is just | |
2183 | below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make | |
2184 | space. | |
2185 | ||
2186 | This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses | |
2187 | within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() | |
2188 | is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. | |
2189 | The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when | |
2190 | U-Boot relocates itself. | |
2191 | ||
2192 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE | |
2193 | Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those | |
2194 | boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is | |
2195 | enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START). | |
2196 | ||
2197 | - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY: | |
2198 | Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be | |
2199 | typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped | |
2200 | uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would | |
2201 | otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For | |
2202 | some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the | |
2203 | cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed | |
2204 | are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding | |
2205 | cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e. | |
2206 | if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the | |
2207 | size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of | |
2208 | one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has | |
2209 | written to another region in the same cache-line. This can | |
2210 | happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for | |
2211 | buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g. | |
2212 | 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes). | |
2213 | ||
2214 | Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present. | |
2215 | ||
2216 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: | |
2217 | Normally compressed uImages are limited to an | |
2218 | uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, | |
2219 | you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file | |
2220 | to adjust this setting to your needs. | |
2221 | ||
2222 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: | |
2223 | Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of | |
2224 | the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by | |
2225 | the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if | |
2226 | used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" | |
2227 | environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case | |
2228 | all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" | |
2229 | and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment | |
2230 | variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of | |
2231 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, | |
2232 | then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. | |
2233 | ||
2234 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: | |
2235 | Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the | |
2236 | initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand | |
2237 | is enabled. | |
2238 | ||
2239 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: | |
2240 | Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between | |
2241 | "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
2242 | ||
2243 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: | |
2244 | Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in | |
2245 | space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
2246 | ||
2247 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: | |
2248 | Max number of Flash memory banks | |
2249 | ||
2250 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: | |
2251 | Max number of sectors on a Flash chip | |
2252 | ||
2253 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: | |
2254 | Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) | |
2255 | ||
2256 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: | |
2257 | Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) | |
2258 | ||
2259 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT | |
2260 | Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) | |
2261 | ||
2262 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT | |
2263 | Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) | |
2264 | ||
2265 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION | |
2266 | If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used | |
2267 | instead of U-Boot software protection. | |
2268 | ||
2269 | - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: | |
2270 | ||
2271 | Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; | |
2272 | without this option such a download has to be | |
2273 | performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) | |
2274 | copy from RAM to flash. | |
2275 | ||
2276 | The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since | |
2277 | you can check if the download worked before you erase | |
2278 | the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is | |
2279 | too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the | |
2280 | downloaded image) this option may be very useful. | |
2281 | ||
2282 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: | |
2283 | Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the | |
2284 | common flash structure for storing flash geometry. | |
2285 | ||
2286 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER | |
2287 | This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver | |
2288 | in the drivers directory | |
2289 | ||
2290 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD | |
2291 | This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver | |
2292 | in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash | |
2293 | to the MTD layer. | |
2294 | ||
2295 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE | |
2296 | Use buffered writes to flash. | |
2297 | ||
2298 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N | |
2299 | s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered | |
2300 | write commands. | |
2301 | ||
2302 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST | |
2303 | If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't | |
2304 | print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This | |
2305 | is useful, if some of the configured banks are only | |
2306 | optionally available. | |
2307 | ||
2308 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS | |
2309 | If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown | |
2310 | digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 | |
2311 | column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. | |
2312 | ||
2313 | - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY | |
2314 | If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared | |
2315 | against the source after the write operation. An error message | |
2316 | will be printed when the contents are not identical. | |
2317 | Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, | |
2318 | since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier | |
2319 | while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable | |
2320 | this option if you really know what you are doing. | |
2321 | ||
2322 | - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: | |
2323 | Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some | |
2324 | Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value | |
2325 | to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all | |
2326 | buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface | |
2327 | on high Ethernet traffic. | |
2328 | Defaults to 4 if not defined. | |
2329 | ||
2330 | - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES | |
2331 | ||
2332 | Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used | |
2333 | internally to store the environment settings. The default | |
2334 | setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most | |
2335 | cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see | |
2336 | lib/hashtable.c for details. | |
2337 | ||
2338 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT | |
2339 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
2340 | Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when | |
2341 | calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, | |
2342 | hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, | |
2343 | the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. | |
2344 | ||
2345 | The format of the list is: | |
2346 | type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] | |
2347 | access_attribute = [a|r|o|c] | |
2348 | attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute] | |
2349 | entry = variable_name[:attributes] | |
2350 | list = entry[,list] | |
2351 | ||
2352 | The type attributes are: | |
2353 | s - String (default) | |
2354 | d - Decimal | |
2355 | x - Hexadecimal | |
2356 | b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) | |
2357 | i - IP address | |
2358 | m - MAC address | |
2359 | ||
2360 | The access attributes are: | |
2361 | a - Any (default) | |
2362 | r - Read-only | |
2363 | o - Write-once | |
2364 | c - Change-default | |
2365 | ||
2366 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT | |
2367 | Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" | |
2368 | environment variable in the default or embedded environment. | |
2369 | ||
2370 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
2371 | Define this to a list (string) to define validation that | |
2372 | should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" | |
2373 | environment variable. To override a setting in the static | |
2374 | list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the | |
2375 | ".flags" variable. | |
2376 | ||
2377 | If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a | |
2378 | regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same | |
2379 | flags without explicitly listing them for each variable. | |
2380 | ||
2381 | The following definitions that deal with the placement and management | |
2382 | of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the | |
2383 | following configurations: | |
2384 | ||
2385 | - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: | |
2386 | ||
2387 | Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils | |
2388 | may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. | |
2389 | ||
2390 | BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early | |
2391 | in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the | |
2392 | console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or | |
2393 | U-Boot will hang. | |
2394 | ||
2395 | Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the | |
2396 | environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to | |
2397 | keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" | |
2398 | to save the current settings. | |
2399 | ||
2400 | BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use | |
2401 | "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the | |
2402 | environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, | |
2403 | but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. | |
2404 | ||
2405 | - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST | |
2406 | ||
2407 | Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the | |
2408 | environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to | |
2409 | CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. | |
2410 | ||
2411 | Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor | |
2412 | has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been | |
2413 | created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f() | |
2414 | until then to read environment variables. | |
2415 | ||
2416 | The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor | |
2417 | is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working | |
2418 | with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is | |
2419 | necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the | |
2420 | "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't | |
2421 | have any device yet where we could complain.] | |
2422 | ||
2423 | Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if | |
2424 | the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you | |
2425 | use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. | |
2426 | ||
2427 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: | |
2428 | Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. | |
2429 | ||
2430 | Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR | |
2431 | also needs to be defined. | |
2432 | ||
2433 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: | |
2434 | MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. | |
2435 | ||
2436 | - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: | |
2437 | Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init | |
2438 | and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at | |
2439 | drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving | |
2440 | space for already greatly restricted images, including but not | |
2441 | limited to NAND_SPL configurations. | |
2442 | ||
2443 | - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO | |
2444 | Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on | |
2445 | when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called | |
2446 | to do this. | |
2447 | ||
2448 | - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE | |
2449 | Similar to the previous option, but display this information | |
2450 | later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if | |
2451 | present. | |
2452 | ||
2453 | - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: | |
2454 | Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the | |
2455 | build system checks that the actual size does not | |
2456 | exceed it. | |
2457 | ||
2458 | Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: | |
2459 | --------------------------------------------------- | |
2460 | ||
2461 | - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: | |
2462 | Cache Line Size of the CPU. | |
2463 | ||
2464 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: | |
2465 | Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale | |
2466 | PowerPC SOCs. | |
2467 | ||
2468 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: | |
2469 | Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically | |
2470 | the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. | |
2471 | ||
2472 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: | |
2473 | Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new | |
2474 | physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should | |
2475 | be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the | |
2476 | same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR | |
2477 | is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended | |
2478 | that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: | |
2479 | ||
2480 | #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH | |
2481 | * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) | |
2482 | ||
2483 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: | |
2484 | Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically | |
2485 | either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is | |
2486 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or | |
2487 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
2488 | ||
2489 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: | |
2490 | Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is | |
2491 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or | |
2492 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
2493 | ||
2494 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: | |
2495 | If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be | |
2496 | forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. | |
2497 | ||
2498 | - CONFIG_IDE_AHB: | |
2499 | Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI | |
2500 | interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. | |
2501 | When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to | |
2502 | IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional | |
2503 | registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller | |
2504 | is required. | |
2505 | ||
2506 | - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. | |
2507 | DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're | |
2508 | doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx systems only] | |
2509 | ||
2510 | - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: | |
2511 | ||
2512 | Start address of memory area that can be used for | |
2513 | initial data and stack; please note that this must be | |
2514 | writable memory that is working WITHOUT special | |
2515 | initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which | |
2516 | will become available only after programming the | |
2517 | memory controller and running certain initialization | |
2518 | sequences. | |
2519 | ||
2520 | U-Boot uses the following memory types: | |
2521 | - MPC8xx: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) | |
2522 | ||
2523 | - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: | |
2524 | ||
2525 | Offset of the initial data structure in the memory | |
2526 | area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually | |
2527 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial | |
2528 | data is located at the end of the available space | |
2529 | (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - | |
2530 | GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just | |
2531 | below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + | |
2532 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. | |
2533 | ||
2534 | Note: | |
2535 | On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data | |
2536 | cache for initial memory) the address chosen for | |
2537 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must | |
2538 | point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between | |
2539 | the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. | |
2540 | ||
2541 | - CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) | |
2542 | ||
2543 | - CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: | |
2544 | SDRAM timing | |
2545 | ||
2546 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: | |
2547 | periodic timer for refresh | |
2548 | ||
2549 | - CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: | |
2550 | Chip has SRIO or not | |
2551 | ||
2552 | - CONFIG_SRIO1: | |
2553 | Board has SRIO 1 port available | |
2554 | ||
2555 | - CONFIG_SRIO2: | |
2556 | Board has SRIO 2 port available | |
2557 | ||
2558 | - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER | |
2559 | Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE | |
2560 | ||
2561 | - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: | |
2562 | Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region | |
2563 | ||
2564 | - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYxS: | |
2565 | Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region | |
2566 | ||
2567 | - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: | |
2568 | Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region | |
2569 | ||
2570 | - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT | |
2571 | Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using | |
2572 | a 16 bit bus. | |
2573 | Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. | |
2574 | Example of drivers that use it: | |
2575 | - drivers/mtd/nand/raw/ndfc.c | |
2576 | - drivers/mtd/nand/raw/mxc_nand.c | |
2577 | ||
2578 | - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG | |
2579 | Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined | |
2580 | a default value will be used. | |
2581 | ||
2582 | - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM | |
2583 | Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common | |
2584 | with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs | |
2585 | ||
2586 | SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS | |
2587 | I2C address of the SPD EEPROM | |
2588 | ||
2589 | - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM | |
2590 | If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first | |
2591 | one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve | |
2592 | to something your driver can deal with. | |
2593 | ||
2594 | - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING | |
2595 | Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with | |
2596 | soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing | |
2597 | parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into | |
2598 | header files or board specific files. | |
2599 | ||
2600 | - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE | |
2601 | Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. | |
2602 | ||
2603 | - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH | |
2604 | Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers. | |
2605 | ||
2606 | - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST | |
2607 | Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers. | |
2608 | ||
2609 | - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 | |
2610 | Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should | |
2611 | be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. | |
2612 | ||
2613 | - CONFIG_RMII | |
2614 | Enable RMII mode for all FECs. | |
2615 | Note that this is a global option, we can't | |
2616 | have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. | |
2617 | ||
2618 | - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY | |
2619 | Add a verify option to the crc32 command. | |
2620 | The syntax is: | |
2621 | ||
2622 | => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> | |
2623 | ||
2624 | Where address/count indicate a memory area | |
2625 | and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the | |
2626 | area should have. | |
2627 | ||
2628 | - CONFIG_LOOPW | |
2629 | Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if | |
2630 | the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY). | |
2631 | ||
2632 | - CONFIG_CMD_MX_CYCLIC | |
2633 | Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic | |
2634 | "md/mw" commands. | |
2635 | Examples: | |
2636 | ||
2637 | => mdc.b 10 4 500 | |
2638 | This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. | |
2639 | ||
2640 | => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 | |
2641 | This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. | |
2642 | ||
2643 | This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated | |
2644 | globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY). | |
2645 | ||
2646 | - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD | |
2647 | Set when the currently-running compilation is for an artifact | |
2648 | that will end up in the SPL (as opposed to the TPL or U-Boot | |
2649 | proper). Code that needs stage-specific behavior should check | |
2650 | this. | |
2651 | ||
2652 | - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD | |
2653 | Set when the currently-running compilation is for an artifact | |
2654 | that will end up in the TPL (as opposed to the SPL or U-Boot | |
2655 | proper). Code that needs stage-specific behavior should check | |
2656 | this. | |
2657 | ||
2658 | - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC | |
2659 | Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section | |
2660 | .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the | |
2661 | previous 4k of the .text section. | |
2662 | ||
2663 | - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM | |
2664 | Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses | |
2665 | effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard | |
2666 | U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated | |
2667 | to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since | |
2668 | it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all | |
2669 | addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses | |
2670 | to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). | |
2671 | ||
2672 | - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR | |
2673 | If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not | |
2674 | needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. | |
2675 | ||
2676 | - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE | |
2677 | Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver | |
2678 | driver that uses this: | |
2679 | drivers/mtd/nand/raw/davinci_nand.c | |
2680 | ||
2681 | Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: | |
2682 | ----------------------------------- | |
2683 | ||
2684 | The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the | |
2685 | loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. | |
2686 | This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros | |
2687 | are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address | |
2688 | within that device. | |
2689 | ||
2690 | - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR | |
2691 | The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The | |
2692 | meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_xxx macro | |
2693 | is also specified. | |
2694 | ||
2695 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR | |
2696 | The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The | |
2697 | meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_xxx macro | |
2698 | is also specified. | |
2699 | ||
2700 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH | |
2701 | The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format | |
2702 | has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it | |
2703 | might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some | |
2704 | local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. | |
2705 | ||
2706 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR | |
2707 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as | |
2708 | normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the | |
2709 | virtual address in NOR flash. | |
2710 | ||
2711 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND | |
2712 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. | |
2713 | CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. | |
2714 | ||
2715 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC | |
2716 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC | |
2717 | device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. | |
2718 | ||
2719 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE | |
2720 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) | |
2721 | memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which | |
2722 | can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound | |
2723 | window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in | |
2724 | master's memory space. | |
2725 | ||
2726 | Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: | |
2727 | --------------------------------------------------------- | |
2728 | The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of | |
2729 | "firmware". | |
2730 | This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros | |
2731 | are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address | |
2732 | within that device. | |
2733 | ||
2734 | - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET | |
2735 | Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. | |
2736 | ||
2737 | Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support: | |
2738 | ------------------------------------------- | |
2739 | The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of | |
2740 | "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom. | |
2741 | This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting. | |
2742 | ||
2743 | - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN | |
2744 | Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires | |
2745 | ||
2746 | Reproducible builds | |
2747 | ------------------- | |
2748 | ||
2749 | In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build | |
2750 | process have to be set to a fixed value. | |
2751 | ||
2752 | This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable. | |
2753 | SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration | |
2754 | option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot. | |
2755 | ||
2756 | SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC. | |
2757 | ||
2758 | Building the Software: | |
2759 | ====================== | |
2760 | ||
2761 | Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments | |
2762 | and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support | |
2763 | all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all | |
2764 | (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we | |
2765 | recommend to use the ELDK (see https://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) | |
2766 | which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. | |
2767 | ||
2768 | If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you | |
2769 | have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, | |
2770 | you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. | |
2771 | Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are | |
2772 | necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: | |
2773 | ||
2774 | $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- | |
2775 | $ export CROSS_COMPILE | |
2776 | ||
2777 | U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the | |
2778 | sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This | |
2779 | is done by typing: | |
2780 | ||
2781 | make NAME_defconfig | |
2782 | ||
2783 | where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- | |
2784 | rations; see configs/*_defconfig for supported names. | |
2785 | ||
2786 | Note: for some boards special configuration names may exist; check if | |
2787 | additional information is available from the board vendor; for | |
2788 | instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) | |
2789 | or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" | |
2790 | when choosing the configuration, i. e. | |
2791 | ||
2792 | make TQM823L_defconfig | |
2793 | - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support | |
2794 | ||
2795 | make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig | |
2796 | - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD | |
2797 | ||
2798 | etc. | |
2799 | ||
2800 | ||
2801 | Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot | |
2802 | images ready for download to / installation on your system: | |
2803 | ||
2804 | - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image | |
2805 | - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format | |
2806 | - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format | |
2807 | ||
2808 | By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved | |
2809 | in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change | |
2810 | this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: | |
2811 | ||
2812 | 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations: | |
2813 | ||
2814 | make O=/tmp/build distclean | |
2815 | make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig | |
2816 | make O=/tmp/build all | |
2817 | ||
2818 | 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location: | |
2819 | ||
2820 | export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build | |
2821 | make distclean | |
2822 | make NAME_defconfig | |
2823 | make all | |
2824 | ||
2825 | Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment | |
2826 | variable. | |
2827 | ||
2828 | User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by | |
2829 | setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS. | |
2830 | For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors: | |
2831 | ||
2832 | make KCFLAGS=-Werror | |
2833 | ||
2834 | Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so | |
2835 | for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of | |
2836 | native "make". | |
2837 | ||
2838 | ||
2839 | If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need | |
2840 | to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these | |
2841 | steps: | |
2842 | ||
2843 | 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any | |
2844 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least | |
2845 | the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c". | |
2846 | 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for | |
2847 | your board. | |
2848 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new | |
2849 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. | |
2850 | 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. | |
2851 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file | |
2852 | to be installed on your target system. | |
2853 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. | |
2854 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] | |
2855 | ||
2856 | ||
2857 | Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: | |
2858 | ============================================================== | |
2859 | ||
2860 | If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board | |
2861 | or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to | |
2862 | provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes | |
2863 | the form of a "patch", i.e. a context diff against a certain (latest | |
2864 | official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. | |
2865 | ||
2866 | But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- | |
2867 | cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of | |
2868 | the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, | |
2869 | just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will | |
2870 | configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this | |
2871 | will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H' | |
2872 | for documentation. | |

2929 | Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: | |
2930 | ======================================== | |
2931 | ||
2932 | TODO. | |
2933 | ||
2934 | For now: just type "help <command>". | |
2935 | ||
2936 | ||
2937 | Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: | |
2938 | ======================================= | |
2939 | ||
2940 | Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports | |
2941 | such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a | |
2942 | "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: | |
2943 | ||
2944 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding | |
2945 | MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), | |
2946 | "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... | |
2947 | ||
2948 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance | |
2949 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- | |
2950 | ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment | |
2951 | variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: | |
2952 | ||
2953 | o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the | |
2954 | environment, the SROM's address is used. | |
2955 | ||
2956 | o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the | |
2957 | environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is | |
2958 | used. | |
2959 | ||
2960 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and | |
2961 | both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. | |
2962 | ||
2963 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the | |
2964 | addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a | |
2965 | warning is printed. | |
2966 | ||
2967 | o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error | |
2968 | is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case | |
2969 | a random, locally-assigned MAC is used. | |
2970 | ||
2971 | If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses | |
2972 | will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This | |
2973 | may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. | |
2974 | The naming convention is as follows: | |
2975 | "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. | |
2976 | ||
2977 | Image Formats: | |
2978 | ============== | |
2979 | ||
2980 | U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) | |
2981 | images in two formats: | |
2982 | ||
2983 | New uImage format (FIT) | |
2984 | ----------------------- | |
2985 | ||
2986 | Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar | |
2987 | to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple | |
2988 | components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by | |
2989 | SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. | |
2990 | ||
2991 | ||
2992 | Old uImage format | |
2993 | ----------------- | |
2994 | ||
2995 | Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, | |
2996 | preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for | |
2997 | details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: | |
2998 | ||
2999 | * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, | |
3000 | 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, | |
3001 | LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; | |
3002 | Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, | |
3003 | INTEGRITY). | |
3004 | * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86, | |
3005 | IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; | |
3006 | Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). | |
3007 | * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) | |
3008 | * Load Address | |
3009 | * Entry Point | |
3010 | * Image Name | |
3011 | * Image Timestamp | |
3012 | ||
3013 | The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header | |
3014 | and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by | |
3015 | CRC32 checksums. | |
3016 | ||
3017 | ||
3018 | Linux Support: | |
3019 | ============== | |
3020 | ||
3021 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application | |
3022 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of | |
3023 | U-Boot. | |
3024 | ||
3025 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some | |
3026 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any | |
3027 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; | |
3028 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation | |
3029 | serves several purposes: | |
3030 | ||
3031 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone | |
3032 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the | |
3033 | Flash memory footprint) | |
3034 | ||
3035 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because | |
3036 | lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot | |
3037 | ||
3038 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" | |
3039 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can | |
3040 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't | |
3041 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just | |
3042 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the | |
3043 | software is easier now. | |
3044 | ||
3045 | ||
3046 | Linux HOWTO: | |
3047 | ============ | |
3048 | ||
3049 | Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: | |
3050 | --------------------------------------- | |
3051 | ||
3052 | U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to | |
3053 | configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware | |
3054 | (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to | |
3055 | Linux :-). | |
3056 | ||
3057 | But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). | |
3058 | ||
3059 | Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance | |
3060 | include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board | |
3061 | Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, | |
3062 | and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value | |
3063 | as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. | |
3064 | ||
3065 | Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. | |
3066 | If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there | |
3067 | is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See | |
3068 | doc/driver-model. | |
3069 | ||
3070 | ||
3071 | Configuring the Linux kernel: | |
3072 | ----------------------------- | |
3073 | ||
3074 | No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root | |
3075 | device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. | |
3076 | ||
3077 | ||
3078 | Building a Linux Image: | |
3079 | ----------------------- | |
3080 | ||
3081 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are | |
3082 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target | |
3083 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by | |
3084 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, | |
3085 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a | |
3086 | 100% compatible format. | |
3087 | ||
3088 | Example: | |
3089 | ||
3090 | make TQM850L_defconfig | |
3091 | make oldconfig | |
3092 | make dep | |
3093 | make uImage | |
3094 | ||
3095 | The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to | |
3096 | encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, | |
3097 | CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: | |
3098 | ||
3099 | * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): | |
3100 | ||
3101 | * convert the kernel into a raw binary image: | |
3102 | ||
3103 | ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ | |
3104 | -R .note -R .comment \ | |
3105 | -S vmlinux linux.bin | |
3106 | ||
3107 | * compress the binary image: | |
3108 | ||
3109 | gzip -9 linux.bin | |
3110 | ||
3111 | * package compressed binary image for U-Boot: | |
3112 | ||
3113 | mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ | |
3114 | -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ | |
3115 | -d linux.bin.gz uImage | |
3116 | ||
3117 | ||
3118 | The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use | |
3119 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or | |
3120 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 | |
3121 | byte header containing information about target architecture, | |
3122 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time | |
3123 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. | |
3124 | ||
3125 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and | |
3126 | print the header information, or to build new images. | |
3127 | ||
3128 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information | |
3129 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes | |
3130 | checksum verification: | |
3131 | ||
3132 | tools/mkimage -l image | |
3133 | -l ==> list image header information | |
3134 | ||
3135 | The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image | |
3136 | from a "data file" which is used as image payload: | |
3137 | ||
3138 | tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ | |
3139 | -n name -d data_file image | |
3140 | -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' | |
3141 | -O ==> set operating system to 'os' | |
3142 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' | |
3143 | -C ==> set compression type 'comp' | |
3144 | -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) | |
3145 | -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) | |
3146 | -n ==> set image name to 'name' | |
3147 | -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' | |
3148 | ||
3149 | Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load | |
3150 | address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the | |
3151 | kernel version: | |
3152 | ||
3153 | - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, | |
3154 | - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. | |
3155 | ||
3156 | So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: | |
3157 | ||
3158 | -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ | |
3159 | > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ | |
3160 | > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ | |
3161 | > examples/uImage.TQM850L | |
3162 | Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L | |
3163 | Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 | |
3164 | Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) | |
3165 | Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB | |
3166 | Load Address: 0x00000000 | |
3167 | Entry Point: 0x00000000 | |
3168 | ||
3169 | To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): | |
3170 | ||
3171 | -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L | |

3179 | NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade | |
3180 | speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this | |
3181 | needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not | |
3182 | need to be uncompressed: | |

3197 | Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file | |
3198 | when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: | |

3213 | Installing a Linux Image: | |
3214 | ------------------------- | |
3215 | ||
3216 | To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, | |
3217 | you must convert the image to S-Record format: | |
3218 | ||
3219 | objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec | |
3220 | ||
3221 | The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot | |
3222 | image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to | |
3223 | address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to | |
3224 | specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' | |
3225 | command. | |
3226 | ||
3227 | Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the | |
3228 | TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): | |
3229 | ||
3230 | => erase 40100000 401FFFFF | |

3246 | You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; | |
3247 | this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data | |
3248 | corruption happened: | |

3261 | Boot Linux: | |
3262 | ----------- | |
3263 | ||
3264 | The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in | |
3265 | memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents | |
3266 | of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as | |
3267 | parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the | |
3268 | "printenv" and "setenv" commands: | |
3269 | ||
3270 | ||
3271 | => printenv bootargs | |
3272 | bootargs=root=/dev/ram | |
3273 | ||
3274 | => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2 | |

3345 | ----------- | |
3346 | ||
3347 | First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section | |
3348 | titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The | |
3349 | following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated | |

3393 | More About U-Boot Image Types: | |
3394 | ------------------------------ | |
3395 | ||
3396 | U-Boot supports the following image types: | |
3397 | ||
3398 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment | |
3399 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave | |
3400 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from | |
3401 | the Standalone Program. | |
3402 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which | |
3403 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs | |
3404 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device | |
3405 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot | |
3406 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. | |
3407 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their | |
3408 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is | |
3409 | being started. | |
3410 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS | |
3411 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like | |
3412 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want | |
3413 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot | |
3414 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get | |
3415 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. | |
3416 | ||
3417 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each | |
3418 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network | |
3419 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". | |
3420 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by | |
3421 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to | |
3422 | a multiple of 4 bytes). | |
3423 | ||
3424 | "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like | |
3425 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to | |
3426 | flash memory. | |
3427 | ||
3428 | "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by | |
3429 | U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially | |
3430 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) | |
3431 | as command interpreter. | |
3432 | ||
3433 | Booting the Linux zImage: | |
3434 | ------------------------- | |
3435 | ||
3436 | On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done | |
3437 | using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same | |
3438 | as the syntax of "bootm" command. | |
3439 | ||
3440 | Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply | |
3441 | kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the | |
3442 | address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following | |
3443 | format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". | |
3444 | ||
3445 | ||
3446 | Standalone HOWTO: | |
3447 | ================= | |
3448 | ||
3449 | One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and | |
3450 | run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of | |
3451 | U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. | |
3452 | ||
3453 | Two simple examples are included with the sources: | |
3454 | ||
3455 | "Hello World" Demo: | |
3456 | ------------------- | |
3457 | ||
3458 | 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo | |
3459 | application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. | |
3460 | It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it | |
3461 | like that: | |
3462 | ||
3463 | => loads | |

3472 | ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... | |
3473 | Hello World | |
3474 | argc = 7 | |
3475 | argv[0] = "40004" | |
3476 | argv[1] = "Hello" | |
3477 | argv[2] = "World!" | |
3478 | argv[3] = "This" | |
3479 | argv[4] = "is" | |
3480 | argv[5] = "a" | |
3481 | argv[6] = "test." | |

3483 | Hit any key to exit ... | |
3484 | ||
3485 | ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 | |
3486 | ||
3487 | Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt | |
3488 | handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'. | |
3489 | Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second. | |
3490 | The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.' | |
3491 | character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be | |
3492 | controlled by the following keys: | |
3493 | ||
3494 | ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers | |
3495 | b - enable interrupts and start timer | |
3496 | e - stop timer and disable interrupts | |
3497 | q - quit application | |

3534 | Minicom warning: | |
3535 | ================ | |
3536 | ||
3537 | Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the | |
3538 | "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) | |
3539 | consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under | |
3540 | Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and | |
3541 | especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and | |
3542 | use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See | |
3543 | https://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. | |
3544 | for help with kermit. | |
3545 | ||
3546 | ||
3547 | Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this | |
3548 | configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: | |
3549 | ||
3550 | Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi | |
3551 | X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N | |

3554 | ||
3555 | NetBSD Notes: | |
3556 | ============= | |
3557 | ||
3558 | Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host | |
3559 | (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx). | |
3560 | ||
3561 | Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on | |
3562 | NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also | |
3563 | need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make). | |
3564 | Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files; | |
3565 | attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is | |
3566 | missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually: | |
3567 | ||
3568 | # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include | |
3569 | # mkdir powerpc | |
3570 | # ln -s powerpc machine | |
3571 | # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h | |
3572 | # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST | |
3573 | ||
3574 | Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native | |
3575 | and U-Boot include files. | |
3576 | ||
3577 | Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a | |
3578 | stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel | |
3579 | proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source | |
3580 | tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the | |
3581 | meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz | |

3584 | Implementation Internals: | |
3585 | ========================= | |
3586 | ||
3587 | The following is not intended to be a complete description of every | |
3588 | implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the | |
3589 | inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom | |
3590 | hardware. | |
3591 | ||
3592 | ||
3593 | Initial Stack, Global Data: | |
3594 | --------------------------- | |
3595 | ||
3596 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot | |
3597 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to | |
3598 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). | |
3599 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS | |
3600 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working | |
3601 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation | |
3602 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU | |
3603 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and | |
3604 | MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be | |
3605 | locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. | |
3606 | ||
3607 | Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the | |
3608 | U-Boot mailing list: | |
3609 | ||
3610 | Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? | |

3613 | ... | |
3614 | ||
3615 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it | |
3616 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not | |
3617 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness | |
3618 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of | |
3619 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's | |
3620 | beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you | |
3621 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and | |
3622 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. | |
3623 | ||
3624 | OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It | |
3625 | is another option for the system designer to use as an | |
3626 | initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either | |
3627 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your | |
3628 | board designers haven't used it for something that would | |
3629 | cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not | |
3630 | used. | |
3631 | ||
3632 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere | |
3633 | with your processor/board/system design. The default value | |
3634 | you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in | |
3635 | walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger | |
3636 | than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set | |
3637 | it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources | |
3638 | that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in | |
3639 | start.S has been around a while and should work as is when | |
3640 | you get the config right. | |

3644 | ||
3645 | It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C | |
3646 | code for the initialization procedures: | |
3647 | ||
3648 | * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt | |
3649 | to write it. | |
3650 | ||
3651 | * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized | |
3652 | as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- | |
3653 | zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). | |
3654 | ||
3655 | * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like | |
3656 | that. | |
3657 | ||
3658 | Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use | |
3659 | normal global data to share information between the code. But it | |
3660 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly | |
3661 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all | |
3662 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ | |
3663 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of | |
3664 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we | |
3665 | place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we | |
3666 | reserve for this purpose. | |
3667 | ||
3668 | When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the | |
3669 | relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by | |
3670 | GCC's implementation. | |
3671 | ||
3672 | For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: | |
3673 | R1: stack pointer | |
3674 | R2: reserved for system use | |
3675 | R3-R4: parameter passing and return values | |
3676 | R5-R10: parameter passing | |
3677 | R13: small data area pointer | |
3678 | R30: GOT pointer | |
3679 | R31: frame pointer | |
3680 | ||
3681 | (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 | |
3682 | is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when | |
3683 | going back and forth between asm and C) | |
3684 | ||
3685 | ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data | |
3686 | ||
3687 | Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the | |
3688 | address of the global data structure is known at compile time), | |
3689 | but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat | |
3690 | smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on | |
3691 | average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, | |
3692 | 624 text + 127 data). | |
3693 | ||
3694 | On ARM, the following registers are used: | |
3695 | ||
3696 | R0: function argument word/integer result | |
3697 | R1-R3: function argument word | |
3698 | R9: platform specific | |
3699 | R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) | |
3700 | R11: argument (frame) pointer | |
3701 | R12: temporary workspace | |
3702 | R13: stack pointer | |
3703 | R14: link register | |
3704 | R15: program counter | |
3705 | ||
3706 | ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data | |
3707 | ||
3708 | Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. | |
3709 | ||
3710 | On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: | |
3711 | https://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf | |
3712 | ||
3713 | ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data | |
3714 | ||
3715 | Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp | |
3716 | to access small data sections, so gp is free. | |
3717 | ||
3718 | On NDS32, the following registers are used: | |
3719 | ||
3720 | R0-R1: argument/return | |
3721 | R2-R5: argument | |
3722 | R15: temporary register for assembler | |
3723 | R16: trampoline register | |
3724 | R28: frame pointer (FP) | |
3725 | R29: global pointer (GP) | |
3726 | R30: link register (LP) | |
3727 | R31: stack pointer (SP) | |
3728 | PC: program counter (PC) | |
3729 | ||
3730 | ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data | |
3731 | ||
3732 | NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, | |
3733 | or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. | |
3734 | ||
3735 | On RISC-V, the following registers are used: | |
3736 | ||
3737 | x0: hard-wired zero (zero) | |
3738 | x1: return address (ra) | |
3739 | x2: stack pointer (sp) | |
3740 | x3: global pointer (gp) | |
3741 | x4: thread pointer (tp) | |
3742 | x5: link register (t0) | |
3743 | x8: frame pointer (fp) | |
3744 | x10-x11: arguments/return values (a0-1) | |
3745 | x12-x17: arguments (a2-7) | |
3746 | x28-31: temporaries (t3-6) | |
3747 | pc: program counter (pc) | |
3748 | ||
3749 | ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data | |
3750 | ||
3751 | Memory Management: | |
3752 | ------------------ | |
3753 | ||
3754 | U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the | |
3755 | MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. | |
3756 | ||
3757 | The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory | |
3758 | controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each | |
3759 | memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several | |
3760 | physical memory banks. | |
3761 | ||
3762 | U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on | |
3763 | TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After | |
3764 | booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself | |
3765 | to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some | |
3766 | memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN | |
3767 | configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board | |
3768 | Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). | |
3769 | ||
3770 | Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB | |
3771 | of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). | |
3772 | ||
3773 | So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like | |
3774 | this: | |
3775 | ||
3776 | 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code | |
3777 | : | |
3778 | 0x0000 1FFF | |
3779 | 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use | |
3780 | : | |
3781 | : | |
3782 | ||
3783 | : | |
3784 | : | |
3785 | 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) | |
3786 | 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data | |
3787 | 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena | |
3788 | : | |
3789 | 0x00FD FFFF | |
3790 | 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code | |
3791 | ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer | |
3792 | ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) | |
3793 | 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] | |
3794 | ||
3795 | ||
3796 | System Initialization: | |
3797 | ---------------------- | |
3798 | ||
3799 | In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point | |
3800 | (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset | |
3801 | configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory. | |
3802 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. | |
3803 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) | |
3804 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs | |
3805 | which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data | |
3806 | cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and | |
3807 | the SIU. | |
3808 | ||
3809 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a | |
3810 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries | |
3811 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash | |
3812 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is | |
3813 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a | |
3814 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM | |
3815 | banks. | |
3816 | ||
3817 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of | |
3818 | different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first | |
3819 | bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address | |
3820 | 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create | |
3821 | contiguous memory starting from 0. | |
3822 | ||
3823 | Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area | |
3824 | and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board | |
3825 | Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM | |
3826 | pages, and the final stack is set up. | |
3827 | ||
3828 | Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; | |
3829 | until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are | |
3830 | running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a | |
3831 | new address in RAM. | |

3908 | Coding Standards: | |
3909 | ----------------- | |
3910 | ||
3911 | All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel | |
3912 | coding style; see the kernel coding style guide at | |
3913 | https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html, and the | |
3914 | script "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. | |
3915 | ||
3916 | Source files originating from a different project (for example the | |
3917 | MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not | |
3918 | reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those | |
3919 | sources. | |
3920 | ||
3921 | Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in | |
3922 | Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) | |
3923 | in your code. | |
3924 | ||
3925 | Please also stick to the following formatting rules: | |
3926 | - remove any trailing white space | |
3927 | - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces | |
3928 | - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds | |
3929 | - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files | |
3930 | - do not add trailing empty lines to source files | |
3931 | ||
3932 | Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned | |
3933 | with a request to reformat the changes. | |
3934 | ||
3935 | ||
3936 | Submitting Patches: | |
3937 | ------------------- | |
3938 | ||
3939 | Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to | |
3940 | establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules | |
3941 | may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. | |
3942 | ||
3943 | Please see https://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. | |
3944 | ||
3945 | Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <[email protected]>; | |
3946 | see https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot | |
3947 | ||
3948 | When you send a patch, please include the following information with | |
3949 | it: | |
3950 | ||
3951 | * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes | |
3952 | this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the | |
3953 | patch actually fixes something. | |
3954 | ||
3955 | * For new features: a description of the feature and your | |
3956 | implementation. | |
3957 | ||
3958 | * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your | |
3959 | information and associated file and directory references. | |
3960 | ||
3961 | * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a | |
3962 | maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. | |
3963 | ||
3964 | * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to | |
3965 | document these in the README file. | |
3966 | ||
3967 | * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* | |
3968 | recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the | |
3969 | "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to | |
3970 | the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems | |
3971 | with some other mail clients. | |
3972 | ||
3973 | If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of | |
3974 | diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of | |
3975 | GNU diff. | |
3976 | ||
3977 | The current directory when running this command shall be the parent | |
3978 | directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that | |
3979 | your patch includes sufficient directory information for the | |
3980 | affected files). | |
3981 | ||
3982 | We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, | |
3983 | and compressed attachments must not be used. | |
3984 | ||
3985 | * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several | |
3986 | files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. | |
3987 | ||
3988 | * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be | |
3989 | submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. | |
3990 | ||
3991 | ||
3992 | Notes: | |
3993 | ||
3994 | * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched | |
3995 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported | |
3996 | for any of the boards. | |
3997 | ||
3998 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch | |
3999 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be | |
4000 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. | |
4001 | ||
4002 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not | |
