- CONFIG_SYS_HZ
+- Driver Model
+ Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
+ introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
+ moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
+ supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
+ handling of platform data and device tree.
+
+ To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
+ painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
+ switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
+ driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
+ interfaces include compatibility features which may be
+ removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
+ As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
+ not change with driver model.
+
+ See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
+
+ CONFIG_DM
+
+ Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
+ including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
+ CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
+ scanned also when available.
+
+ CONFIG_CMD_DM
+
+ Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
+ out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_DEMO
+
+ Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
+ really only useful for playing around while trying to
+ understand driver model in sandbox.
+
+ CONFIG_SPL_DM
+
+ Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
+ suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
+ full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
+ consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
+ must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
+ In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
+ and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
+ CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
+ it.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
+
+ Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
+ drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
+ implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
+ defined in include/serial.h.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_GPIO
+
+ Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
+ interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
+ the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
+ particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
+ is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_SPI
+
+ Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
+ (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
+ the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
+ buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
+ include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
+ as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
+ typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
+ spi_slave structure.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
+
+ Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
+ (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
+ implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
+ SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
+ supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
+ include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
+ with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
+ during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
+ enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
+ for one and not the other).
+
+ CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
+
+ Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
+ allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
+ but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
+ I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
+ conversion is not yet possible.
+
+
+ ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
+ default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
+ features in SPL.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_WARN
+
+ Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
+ of space for its strings.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_STDIO
+
+ Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
+
+ CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
+
+ Enable removing of devices.

to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
+ CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
+
+ Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
+ to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
+ This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
+ the kernel.

- USB Device:
Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
+ CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
+ The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
+ the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
+ this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
+
+ CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
+ The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
+ regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
+ the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
+
- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
200 ms.
- Configuration Management:
+ CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
+
+ Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
+ with a special header) as build targets. By defining
+ CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
+ special image will be automatically built upon calling
+ make / MAKEALL.
+
CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
- Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
- for the "hush" shell.
-
-
- CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
-
- Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
- Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
- powerful command line syntax like
- if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
- constructs ("shell scripts").
-
- If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
- with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
-
-
CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
memories can be connected with a given cs line.
currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
+ CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
+ enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
+ register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
+ The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
+ the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
+ device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
+ and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
+ nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
+ operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
+ hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
+
- SystemACE Support:
CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
kernel. Needed for UBI support.
+ CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE
+ verify if the written data is correct reread.
+
- UBI support
CONFIG_CMD_UBI
Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
warnings and errors enabled.
+
+ CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
+ This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
+ erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
+ of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
+ wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
+ counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
+
+ The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
+ other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
+ However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
+ life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
+ to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
+
+ default: 4096
+
+ CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
+ This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
+ expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
+ underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
+ flash), this value is ignored.
+
+ NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
+ (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
+ The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
+ then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
+ which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
+ count of eraseblocks on the chip).
+
+ To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
+ reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
+ handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
+ NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
+ that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
+ eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
+ size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
+ partition.
+
+ default: 20
+
+ CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
+ Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
+ in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
+ only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
+ The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
+ the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
+ attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
+ a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
+ CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
+ that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
+ without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
+ fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
+
+ CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
+ Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
+ without a fastmap.
+ default: 0
