17 Define this if you don't want to or can't have an environment stored
18 on a storage medium. In this case the environemnt will still exist
19 while U-Boot is running, but once U-Boot exits it will not be
20 stored. U-Boot will therefore always start up with a default

24 bool "Environment in EEPROM"
25 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
27 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
28 device and a driver for it.
33 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
34 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
36 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
37 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
40 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
41 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
42 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
44 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
45 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
46 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
49 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
51 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
52 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

83 Define this if you have a flash device which you want to use for the
86 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
87 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
88 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
89 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
90 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
91 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
92 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
93 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
94 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
95 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
96 between U-Boot and the environment.
100 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
101 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
102 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
103 for this sector is given here.
105 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
109 This is just another way to specify the start address of
110 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
113 CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
115 Size of the sector containing the environment.
118 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
119 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
124 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
125 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
126 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
127 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
129 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
130 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
131 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
132 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
133 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
134 updating the environment in flash makes it always
135 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
136 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
137 RAM, your target system will be dead.
139 CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
140 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
142 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
143 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
144 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
145 a "saveenv" operation.
147 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
148 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
152 bool "Environment in an MMC device"
153 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
155 default y if ARCH_EXYNOS4
156 default y if MX6SX || MX7D

158 default y if TEGRA_ARMV8_COMMON
160 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
163 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
165 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
167 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
169 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
170 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
171 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
176 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
177 area within the specified MMC device.
179 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
180 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
181 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
182 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
183 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
184 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
185 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
187 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
190 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
192 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
193 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
194 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
195 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
197 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
198 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
200 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
201 an MMC sector boundary.
203 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
205 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
206 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
209 config ENV_IS_IN_NAND
210 bool "Environment in a NAND device"
211 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
213 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use for the
219 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
220 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
221 aligned to an erase block boundary.
223 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
225 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
226 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
227 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
228 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
229 aligned to an erase block boundary.
231 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
233 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
234 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
235 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
236 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
237 the range to be avoided.
239 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
241 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
242 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
243 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
244 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
245 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

252 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the

259 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
260 can just be read and written to, without any special

279 bool "Environment is in remove memory space"
280 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
282 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
283 want to use for the local device's environment.
288 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
289 environment area within the remote memory space. The
290 local device can get the environment from remote memory
291 space by SRIO or PCIE links.

305 want to use for the environment.
310 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
311 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
312 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
314 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
316 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
318 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
320 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
321 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
322 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
323 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
324 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
326 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):

329 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.

333 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.

337 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.

341 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
343 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
344 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
345 accesses, which is important on NAND.
