24ee89b9 11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
e86e5a07
WD
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
c609719b
WD
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
24ee89b9
WD
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
c609719b
WD
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
24ee89b9 34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
c609719b
WD
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
24ee89b9 37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
27af930e 38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
218ca724 39maintainers.

225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
ab584d67 253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
c609719b
WD
254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
ab584d67 258 make TQM823L_defconfig
c609719b 259
11ccc33f 260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
ab584d67 261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
c609719b
WD
262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.

265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272

276Board Initialisation Flow:
277--------------------------
278
279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288lowlevel_init():
289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290 - no global_data or BSS
291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294 board_init_f()
295 - this is almost never needed
296 - return normally from this function
297
298board_init_f():
299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301 - global_data is available
302 - stack is in SRAM
303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304 only stack variables and global_data
305
306 Non-SPL-specific notes:
307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308 can do nothing
309
310 SPL-specific notes:
311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312 version as needed.
313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317 directly)
318
319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322memory.
323
324board_init_r():
325 - purpose: main execution, common code
326 - global_data is available
327 - SDRAM is available
328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331 Non-SPL-specific notes:
332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333 there.
334
335 SPL-specific notes:
336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340 spl_board_init() function containing this call
341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

345Configuration Options:
346----------------------
347
348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349such information is kept in a configuration file
350"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
7f6c2cbc
WD
356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358build a config tool - later.
359

75d1ea7f 411
ba56f625
WD
412 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
413 of relying on the correctness of the configured
414 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
415 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
416 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 417 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
75d1ea7f 418
506f3918
HS

422 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
423
66412c63 424- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
425 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
426
427 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
428 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
429 compliance, among other possible reasons.
430
66412c63
KG
431 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
432
433 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
434 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
435 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
436
8f29084a
KG
437 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
438
439 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
440 tree nodes for the given platform.
441
afa6b551
PK
442 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
443
444 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
445 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
446 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
447 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
448 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
449 purpose.
450
33eee330
SW
451 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
452
453 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
454 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
455 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
456
457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
458 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
459
460 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
461 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
462
463 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
464 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
465 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
466 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
467
468 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
469 this erratum.
470
74fa22ed
PK
471 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
472 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
b445bbb4 473 required during NOR boot.

722 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
723 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
724 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
725 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
726 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
727 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
728 Linux kernel.

917 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
918 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
919 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
920 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
921 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
922 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
923 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 924 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
925 earlier bytes are discarded.

937 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
938 If this option is not given then these functions will
939 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
940 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

942- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
943 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
944 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
93d7212f
JH
945 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
946 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
c609719b
WD
947
948 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
949 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
950 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
951 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
952 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
953 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT

WD
956 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
957 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
958
959- Autoboot Command:
960 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
961 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
962 define a command string that is automatically executed
963 when no character is read on the console interface
964 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
965
966 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c
WD
967 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
968 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
969 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b
WD
970
971 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
972 The value of these goes into the environment as
973 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
974 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 975 RAM and NFS.

977- Bootcount:
978 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
979 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
980 cycle, see:
981 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
982
983 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
984 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
985 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
986 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
987 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
988 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
989 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
990 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
991 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
992
c609719b
WD
993- Pre-Boot Commands:
994 CONFIG_PREBOOT
995
996 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
997 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
998 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
999 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1000 entering interactive mode.
1001
1002 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1003 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1004 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1005 modified when the user holds down a certain
1006 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1007 booting the systems
1008
1009- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1010 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1011 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1012 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1013 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1014 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1015 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1016 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1017
602ad3b3 1018- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b
WD
1019 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1020 Select one of the baudrates listed in
6d0f6bcf 1021 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

602ad3b3
JL
1024 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1025 from the build by using the #include files
c6c621bd 1026 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
ef0f2f57 1027 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

1148
1149 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 1150 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
1151 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1152 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1153 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1154 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1155 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1156 initial stack and some data.

1159 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1160
a5ecbe62
WD
1161- Regular expression support:
1162 CONFIG_REGEX
93e14596
WD
1163 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1164 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1165 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1166 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
a5ecbe62 1167
45ba8077
SG
1168- Device tree:
1169 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1170 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1171 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1172 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1173 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1174 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1175
2c0f79e4
SG
1176 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1177 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
1178
1179 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1180 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1181 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1182 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1183 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1184 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 1185
2c0f79e4
SG
1186 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1187 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1188 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1189 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1190
1191 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1192
1193 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1194 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1195 still use the individual files if you need something more
1196 exotic.
1197
c609719b
WD
1198- Watchdog:
1199 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1200 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
1201 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1202 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1203 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1204 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1205 available, then no further board specific code should
1206 be needed to use it.
1207
1208 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1209 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1210 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1211 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 1212
7bae0d6f
HS
1213 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1214 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1215
c1551ea8
SR
1216- U-Boot Version:
1217 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1218 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1219 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1220 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51
BT
1221 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1222 next reset.
c1551ea8 1223
c609719b
WD
1224- Real-Time Clock:
1225
602ad3b3 1226 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
c609719b
WD
1227 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1228 following options:
1229
1230 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1231 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
4e8b7544 1232 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
c609719b 1233 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1cb8e980 1234 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
c609719b 1235 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
7f70e853 1236 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
412921d2 1237 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
3bac3513 1238 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
9536dfcc 1239 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
4c0d4c3b 1240 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
6d0f6bcf 1241 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
71d19f30
HS
1242 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1243 RV3029 RTC.
c609719b 1244
b37c7e5e
WD
1245 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1246 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1247
e92739d3
PT
1248- GPIO Support:
1249 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
e92739d3 1250
5dec49ca
CP
1251 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1252 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1253 pins supported by a particular chip.
1254
e92739d3
PT
1255 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1256 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1257
aa53233a
SG
1258- I/O tracing:
1259 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1260 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1261 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1262 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1263 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1264 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1265 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1266 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1267
1268 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1269 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1270 still continue to operate.
1271
1272 iotrace is enabled
1273 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1274 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1275 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1276 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1277 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1278 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1279
c609719b
WD
1280- Timestamp Support:
1281
43d9616c
WD
1282 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1283 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1284 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1285 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
c609719b 1286
923c46f9
KP
1287- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1288 Zero or more of the following:
1289 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1290 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1291 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1292 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1293 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1294 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1295 disk/part_efi.c
1296 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
c609719b 1297
218ca724
WD
1298 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1299 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
923c46f9 1300 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
c609719b
WD
1301
1302- IDE Reset method:
4d13cbad
WD
1303 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1304 board configurations files but used nowhere!
c609719b 1305
4d13cbad
WD
1306 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1307 be performed by calling the function
1308 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1309 which has to be defined in a board specific file
c609719b
WD
1310
1311- ATAPI Support:
1312 CONFIG_ATAPI
1313
1314 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1315
c40b2956
WD
1316- LBA48 Support
1317 CONFIG_LBA48
1318
1319 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
4b142feb 1320 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
c40b2956
WD
1321 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1322 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1323
6d0f6bcf 1324 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
c40b2956
WD
1325 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1326 Default is 32bit.
1327
c609719b
WD
1328- SCSI Support:
1329 At the moment only there is only support for the
1330 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1331 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1332
6d0f6bcf
JCPV
1333 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1334 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1335 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
c609719b
WD
1336 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target

1891 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1892
b445bbb4 1893 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
676d319e
SG
1894 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1895 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1896 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1897 a per-section basis.
1898
0d89efef
SG
1899 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1900
1901 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1902 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1903 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1904 is slow.
676d319e 1905
604c7d4a
HP
1906 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1907
1908 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1909 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1910 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1911 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1912 printed out.
1913 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1914 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1915 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1916 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1917 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1918 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1919 1 = 90 degree rotation
1920 2 = 180 degree rotation
1921 3 = 270 degree rotation
1922
1923 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1924 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1925

1932 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1933 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1934
7152b1d0 1935- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1936
8bde7f77
WD
1937 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1938 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1939 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1940 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1941 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1942 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1943 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1944 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1945
c0880485
NK
1946 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1947
1948 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1949 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1551df35 1950 (see README.displaying-bmps).
c0880485
NK
1951 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1952 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1953 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1954 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1955 there is no need to set this option.
1956
1ca298ce
MW
1957 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1958
1959 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1960 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1961 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1962 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1963 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1964 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1965
1966 Example:
1967 setenv splashpos m,m
1968 => image at center of screen
1969
1970 setenv splashpos 30,20
1971 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1972
1973 setenv splashpos -10,m
1974 => vertically centered image
1975 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1977- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1978
1979 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1980 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1981 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1982
d5011762
AG
1983- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8

1985 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1986 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1987 bmp command.

b445bbb4 1989- Do compressing for memory range:
f2b96dfb
LW
1990 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1991
1992 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1993 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1994
c29fdfc1 1995- Compression support:
8ef70478
KC
1996 CONFIG_GZIP
1997
1998 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1999
c29fdfc1
WD
2000 CONFIG_BZIP2
2001
2002 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2003 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2004 compressed images are supported.
2005
42d1f039 2006 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 2007 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 2008 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 2009
fc9c1727
LCM
2010 CONFIG_LZMA
2011
2012 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2013 images is included.
2014
2015 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2016 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2017 formula:
2018
2019 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2020
2021 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2022 and Literal pos bits.
2023
2024 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2025 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2026 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2027 a very small buffer.
2028
2029 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2030 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 2031 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
fc9c1727 2032
8ef70478
KC
2033 CONFIG_LZO

2039 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2040
2041 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2042
2043 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2044
2045 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2046
2047 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2048
2049 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
11ccc33f 2050 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
17ea1177
WD
2051
2052 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2053
2054 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2055 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2056 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2057 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2058
2059 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2060
2061 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2062 command issued before MII status register can be read
2063

2083
1ebcd654
WD
2084- Gateway IP address:
2085 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2086
2087 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2088 default router where packets to other networks are
2089 sent to.
2090 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2091
2092- Subnet mask:
2093 CONFIG_NETMASK
2094
2095 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2096 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2097 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2098 forwarded through a router.
2099 (Environment variable "netmask")
2100
53a5c424
DU
2101- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2102 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2103
2104 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2105 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
11ccc33f 2106 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
53a5c424
DU
2107 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2108 multicast group.
2109
c609719b
WD
2110- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2111 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2112
2113 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2114 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2115 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2116 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2117 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2118 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2119 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2120 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 2121 following delays are inserted then:
c609719b
WD
2122
2123 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2124 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2125 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2126 4th and following
2127 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2128
92ac8acc
TR
2129 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2130
2131 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2132 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2133 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2134 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2135 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2136 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2137 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2138 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2139 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2140 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2141 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2142 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2143 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2144 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2145 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2146
fe389a82 2147- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
2148 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2149 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2150
2151 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2152 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2153 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2154 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN

fe389a82 2164
5d110f0a
WC
2165 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2166 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 2167
2c00e099
JH
2168 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2169 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2170 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2171 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2172 is not available.
2173
fe389a82
SR
2174 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2175 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2176 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2177 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2178 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2179 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2180 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 2181 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
2182
2183 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2184 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2185 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 2186 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
2187 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2188 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 2189
d9a2f416
AV
2190 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2191
2192 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2193 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2194 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2195 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2196 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2197 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2198 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2199 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2200 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2201 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2202 this delay.

2204 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2205 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2206 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2207 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2208 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

2256 Several configurations allow to display the current
2257 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2258 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2259 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2260 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2261 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2262 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2263 feature in U-Boot.

2265 Additional options:
2266
2267 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2268 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2269 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2270 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2271 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2272

2273 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2274 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2275 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2276 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2277 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2278 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

2429 additional defines:

ea818dbb 2477- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
3f4978c7
HS
2478
2479 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2480 provides the following compelling advantages:
2481
2482 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2483 - approved multibus support
2484 - better i2c mux support
2485
2486 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2487
ea818dbb
HS
2488 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2489 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2490 for the selected CPU.
c609719b 2491
945af8d7 2492 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 2493 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
2494 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2495 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 2496 command line interface.
c609719b 2497
bb99ad6d 2498 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 2499
945af8d7 2500 There are several other quantities that must also be
ea818dbb 2501 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2502
6d0f6bcf 2503 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 2504 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 2505 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 2506 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 2507
8d321b81 2508 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 2509 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
2510 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2511 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2512 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 2513
5da71efa
EM
2514 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2515
2516 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2517 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2518 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2519 commands until the slave device responds.
2520
945af8d7 2521 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 2522
ea818dbb 2523 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
b37c7e5e
WD
2524 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2525 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
2526
2527 I2C_INIT
2528
b37c7e5e 2529 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 2530 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 2531
ba56f625 2532 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 2533
c609719b
WD
2534 I2C_PORT
2535
43d9616c
WD
2536 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2537 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2538 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2539
2540 I2C_ACTIVE
2541
2542 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2543 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2544 define can be null.
2545
b37c7e5e
WD
2546 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2547
c609719b
WD
2548 I2C_TRISTATE
2549
2550 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2551 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2552 define can be null.
2553
b37c7e5e
WD
2554 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2555
c609719b
WD
2556 I2C_READ
2557
472d5460
YS
2558 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2559 false if it is low.
c609719b 2560
b37c7e5e
WD
2561 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2562
c609719b
WD
2563 I2C_SDA(bit)
2564
472d5460
YS
2565 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2566 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2567
b37c7e5e 2568 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2569 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \

b37c7e5e 2571
c609719b
WD
2572 I2C_SCL(bit)
2573
472d5460
YS
2574 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2575 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2576

b37c7e5e 2580
c609719b
WD
2581 I2C_DELAY
2582
2583 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2584 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2585 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2586 like:
2587
b37c7e5e 2588 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2589
793b5726
MF
2590 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2591
2592 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2593 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2594 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2595 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2596
2597 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2598 the generic GPIO functions.

47cd00fa 2601
8bde7f77
WD
2602 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2603 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2604 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2605 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2606 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2607 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2608 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2609 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2610
26a33504
RR
2611 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2612
2613 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2614 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2615 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2616 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus

2629
2630 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859

2704 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2705 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is

2802 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2803
2804 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2805 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2806 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2807 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2808 make / MAKEALL.

c609719b
WD
2814
2815- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2816
43d9616c
WD
2817 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2818 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2819 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2820 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2821 protects these variables from casual modification by
2822 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2823 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2824 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2825
2826 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2827 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2828 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2829 these parameters.
2830
92ac5208
JH
2831 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2832 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2833 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2834 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2835 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2836 read-only.]
2837
2598090b
JH
2838 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2839 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2840 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2841 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2842
c609719b
WD
2843- Protected RAM:
2844 CONFIG_PRAM
2845
2846 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2847 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2848 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2849 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2850 this default value by defining an environment
2851 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2852 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2853 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2854 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2855 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2856 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2857 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2858
fe126d8b 2859 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2860 saveenv
2861
2862 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2863 either, which results in a memory region that will
2864 not be affected by reboots.
2865
2866 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2867 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2868 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2869 following board configurations are known to be
2870 "pRAM-clean":

2876- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2877 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2878 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2879 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2880 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2881 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2882 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2883
c609719b
WD
2884- Error Recovery:
2885 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2886
2887 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2888 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2889 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2890 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2891 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2892 useful during development since you can try to debug
2893 the conditions that lead to the situation.

2922 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2923
2924 Note:
2925
8bde7f77
WD
2926 In the current implementation, the local variables
2927 space and global environment variables space are
2928 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2929 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2930 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2931 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2932 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2933
43d9616c
WD
2934 Global environment variables are those you use
2935 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2936 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2937 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2938
2939 To store commands and special characters in a

06fd8538
SG
3001 that so that the environment is not available until

3006- Parallel Flash support:
3007 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
3008
3009 Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
3010 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
3011 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
3012 parallel flash.
3013
3014 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
3015 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
3016 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
3017 flash API (see include/flash.h).

3026- Serial Flash support
3027 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3028
3029 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3030 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3031
3032 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3033 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3034 commands.
3035
3036 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3037 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3038 flash is present on the system.
3039
3040 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3041 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select

b445bbb4 3054 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
b902e07c 3055
3f85ce27
WD
3056- SystemACE Support:
3057 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3058
3059 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3060 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 3061 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 3062 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
3063
3064 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 3065 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27

WD
3078 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3079 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3080 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3081
3082 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
3083 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3084 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3085 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3086 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3087 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3088 but sometimes that is not allowed.

3090- Hashing support:
3091 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3092
3093 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3094 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3095
3096 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3097
3098 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3099 size a little.
3100
94e3c8c4 3101 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3102 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3103 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3104 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3105 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3106 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3107 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3108 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3109 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3110 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3111 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3112 is performed in hardware.

3117- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3118 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3119 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3120 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3121
3122 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3123 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3124 a boot from specific media.
3125
3126 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3127 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3128 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3129 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3130 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.

3132- Signing support:
3133 CONFIG_RSA
3134
3135 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification

3138 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3139 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3140 library to function.

3149 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3150 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3151
3152 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3153 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3154 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3155 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3156 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3157 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3158 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3159 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3160 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3161 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3162 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3163 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3164 the bootcounter.

3427 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3428 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3429 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3430 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3431 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3432 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3433
3434 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3435 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3436 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3437 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3438 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3439
3440 default: 4096
c654b517 3441
ff94bc40
HS
3442 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3443 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3444 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3445 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3446 flash), this value is ignored.
3447
3448 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3449 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3450 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3451 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3452 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3453 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3454
3455 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3456 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3457 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3458 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3459 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3460 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3461 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3462 partition.
3463
3464 default: 20
3465
3466 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3467 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3468 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3469 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3470 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3471 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3472 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3473 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3474 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3475 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3476 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3477 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3478
3479 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3480 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3481 without a fastmap.

WD
3777 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3778 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
11ccc33f 3779 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
d4ca31c4 3780 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
11ccc33f 3781 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
d4ca31c4 3782 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
11ccc33f 3783 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
d4ca31c4
WD
3784 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3785 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3786 general timer_interrupt().

11ccc33f 3793 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3794 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3795 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3796 initialization.
c609719b 3797

WD
3798 If there are no modem init strings in the

14f73ca6
SR
3878 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3879 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3880 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3881 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3882 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3883 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.

6d0f6bcf 3914- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3915 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3916 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3917 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3918 flash sector.
c609719b 3919
6d0f6bcf 3920- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3921 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3922
d59476b6
SG
3923- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3924 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3925 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3926 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3927 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3928 space.
3929
3930 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3931 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3932 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
b445bbb4 3933 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
d59476b6
SG
3934 U-Boot relocates itself.
3935
e7b14e9a 3936 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
29afe9e6
SG
3937 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3938
38687ae6
SG
3939- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3940 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3941 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3942 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3943
1dfdd9ba
TR
3944- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3945 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3946 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3947 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3948 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3949 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3950 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3951 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3952 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3953 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3954 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3955 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3956 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3957 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3958 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3959 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3960
3961 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3962
6d0f6bcf 3963- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3964 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3965 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3966 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3967 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3968
6d0f6bcf 3969- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3970 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3971 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3972 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3973 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
1bce2aeb 3974 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
7d721e34 3975 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3976 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3977 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3978 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3979 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3980
fca43cc8
JR
3981- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3982 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3983 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3984 is enabled.
3985
3986- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3987 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3988 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3989
3990- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3991 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3992 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3993
6d0f6bcf 3994- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3995 Max number of Flash memory banks

4010 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4011
6d0f6bcf 4012- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
4013 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4014 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4015
6d0f6bcf 4016- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
4017
4018 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4019 without this option such a download has to be
4020 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4021 copy from RAM to flash.
4022
4023 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4024 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
4025 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4026 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
4027 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4028
6d0f6bcf 4029- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 4030 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
4031 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4032
00b1883a 4033- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER

4034 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4035 in the drivers directory
c609719b 4036
91809ed5
PZ
4037- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4038 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4039 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4040 to the MTD layer.
4041
6d0f6bcf 4042- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
4043 Use buffered writes to flash.
4044
4045- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4046 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4047 write commands.
4048
6d0f6bcf 4049- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
4050 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4051 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4052 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4053 optionally available.
4054
9a042e9c
JVB
4055- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4056 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4057 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4058 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4059
352ef3f1
SR
4060- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4061 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4062 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4063 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4064 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4065 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4066 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4067 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4068
6d0f6bcf 4069- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
4070 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4071 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
4072 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4073 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 4074 on high Ethernet traffic.
53cf9435
SR
4075 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

4078
071bc923
WD
4079 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4080 internally to store the environment settings. The default
4081 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4082 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4083 lib/hashtable.c for details.

4085- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4086- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
1bce2aeb 4087 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
2598090b
JH
4088 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4089 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,

2598090b
JH
4116
4117 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4118 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4119 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4120 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4121 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4122 ".flags" variable.

4132- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4133 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4134 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4135 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4136 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4137 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
0a12e687
MY
4138 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).

4151
c609719b
WD
4152The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4153of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4154following configurations:
4155
c3eb3fe4
MF
4156- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4157
4158 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4159 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4160
5a1aceb0 4161- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
4162
4163 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4164
4165 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4166 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4167 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4168 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4169 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4170 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4171 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4172 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4173 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4174 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4175 between U-Boot and the environment.
4176
0e8d1586 4177 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
4178
4179 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4180 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4181 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4182 for this sector is given here.
4183
6d0f6bcf 4184 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 4185
0e8d1586 4186 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4187
4188 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4189 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 4190 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 4191
0e8d1586 4192 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4193
4194 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4195
4196
4197 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4198 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4199 the environment.
4200
0e8d1586 4201 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 4202
5a1aceb0 4203 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 4204 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
4205 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4206 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4207
4208 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4209 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4210 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4211 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4212 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4213 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4214 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4215 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4216 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4217
0e8d1586
JCPV
4218 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4219 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
c609719b 4220
43d9616c 4221 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 4222 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 4223 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 4224 a "saveenv" operation.
c609719b
WD
4225
4226BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4227source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4228accordingly!
4229
4230
9314cee6 4231- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
c609719b
WD
4232
4233 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4234 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4235 environment.
4236
0e8d1586
JCPV
4237 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4238 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 4239
11ccc33f 4240 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b
WD
4241 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4242 can just be read and written to, without any special
4243 provision.
4244
4245BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
b445bbb4 4246in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 4247console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
c609719b
WD
4248U-Boot will hang.
4249
4250Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4251environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4252keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4253to save the current settings.
4254
4255
bb1f8b4f 4256- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
c609719b

4258 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4259 device and a driver for it.

0e8d1586
JCPV
4261 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4262 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4263
4264 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4265 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4266
6d0f6bcf 4267 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
4268 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4269 The default address is zero.
4270
189d257b
CG
4271 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4272 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4273
6d0f6bcf 4274 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
4275 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4276 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4277 would require six bits.
4278
6d0f6bcf 4279 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 4280 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 4281 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 4282
6d0f6bcf 4283 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
4284 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4285 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4286
6d0f6bcf 4287 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
4288 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4289 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4290 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4291 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4292 byte chips.
4293
4294 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4295 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4296 in the chip address.
4297
6d0f6bcf 4298 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
4299 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.

4301 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4302 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4303 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4304
4305 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4306 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4307 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4308 EEPROM. For example:
4309
ea818dbb 4310 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
548738b4
HS
4311
4312 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4313 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

057c849c 4315- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
5779d8d9 4316
d4ca31c4 4317 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
5779d8d9

4318 want to use for the environment.
4319
0e8d1586
JCPV
4320 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4321 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4322 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
5779d8d9

4324 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4325 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4326 at the specified address.
4327
bd83b592
WJ
4328- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4329
4330 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4331 want to use for the environment.
4332
4333 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4334 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4335
4336 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

4344 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4345
4346 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4347 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4348 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4349 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4350 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4351
4352 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4353 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4354
4355 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4356
4357 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4358
4359 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.

4365- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4366
4367 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4368 want to use for the local device's environment.
4369
4370 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4371 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4372
4373 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4374 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4375 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 4376 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
4377
4378BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4379"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa

4380environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4381but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

0e8d1586 4397 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
4398 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4399 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 4400 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
4401 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4402
4403 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4404
4405 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4406 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4407 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4408 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4409 the range to be avoided.
4410
4411 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4412
4413 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4414 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4415 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4416 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4417 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

4419- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4420
4421 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4422 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4423 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4424
2b74433f
JH
4425- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4426
4427 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4428 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4429 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4430
4431 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4432
4433 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4434
4435 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4436
4437 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4438 environment in.
4439
785881f7
JH
4440 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4441
4442 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4443 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4444 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4445
2b74433f
JH
4446 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4447 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4448
4449 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4450 when storing the env in UBI.

d1db76f1
WJ
4452- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4453 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4454
4455 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4456
4457 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4458
4459 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4460
4461 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4462 be as following:
4463
4464 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4465 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4466 partition table.
4467 - "D:0": device D.
4468 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4469 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4470 table.
4471 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
b445bbb4 4472 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
d1db76f1
WJ
4473 partition table then means device D.
4474
4475 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4476
4477 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
b445bbb4 4478 environment.
d1db76f1
WJ
4479
4480 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
b445bbb4 4481 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
d1db76f1 4482
06e4ae5f
SW
4483- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4484
4485 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4486 environment.
4487
4488 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4489
4490 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4491
4492 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4493
4494 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4495 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4496 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4497
4498 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4499 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4500
4501 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4502 area within the specified MMC device.
4503
5c088ee8
SW
4504 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4505 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4506 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4507 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4508 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4509 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4510 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4511
06e4ae5f
SW
4512 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4513 MMC sector boundary.
4514
4515 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4516
4517 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4518 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4519 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4520 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4521
5c088ee8
SW
4522 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4523 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4524
06e4ae5f
SW
4525 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4526 an MMC sector boundary.
4527
4528 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4529
4530 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4531 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4532 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4533
6d0f6bcf 4534- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
4535
4536 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4537 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4538 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4539 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4540 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4541 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4542 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4543
e881cb56 4544Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 4545has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 4546created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
4547until then to read environment variables.
4548
85ec0bcc
WD
4549The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4550is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4551with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4552necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4553"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4554have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
4555
4556Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4557the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 4558use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 4559
6d0f6bcf 4560- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 4561 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
fc3e2165 4562
6d0f6bcf 4563 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
4564 also needs to be defined.
4565
6d0f6bcf 4566- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

4569- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4570 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4571 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4572 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4573 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4574 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

4576- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4577 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

4605 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4606 PowerPC SOCs.
4607
4608- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4609 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4610 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4611
4612 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4613 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4614
4615- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4616 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4617 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 4618 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
4619 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4620 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4621 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4622
4623 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4624 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4625
4626- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
4627 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4628 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
4629 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4630 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4631
4632- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4633 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4634 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4635 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4636
4637- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4638 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4639 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

8aa1a2d1 4907- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 4908 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
4909 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4910 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4911 relocate itself into RAM.
4912
4913 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4914 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4915 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4916 these initializations itself.

4933- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4934 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4935 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4936 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4937 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4938 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4939 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4940 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4968The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4969loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4970This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4971are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4972within that device.

4982 is also specified.
4983
4984- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4985 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4986 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4987 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4988 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4989
4990- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR

5016The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5017"firmware".
5018This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5019are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5020within that device.

5056Reproducible builds
5057-------------------
5058
5059In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
5060process have to be set to a fixed value.
5061
5062This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
5063SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
5064option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
5065
5066SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

5068Building the Software:
5069======================
5070
218ca724
WD
5071Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5072and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5073all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5074(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5075recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5076which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 5077
218ca724
WD
5078If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5079have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5080you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5081Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5082necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 5083
218ca724
WD
5084 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5085 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 5086
2f8d396b
PT
5087Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5088 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5089 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5090 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5091
5092 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5093
5094 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5095 be executed on computers running Windows.
5096
218ca724
WD
5097U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5098sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
5099is done by typing:
5100
ab584d67 5101 make NAME_defconfig
c609719b 5102
ab584d67 5103where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 5104rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 5105
2729af9d
WD
5106Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5107 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5108 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5109 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 5110 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d 5111
ab584d67 5112 make TQM823L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5113 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5114
ab584d67 5115 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5116 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5117
5118 etc.
5119
5120
5121Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5122images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5123
5124- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5125- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5126- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5127
baf31249
MB
5128By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5129in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5130this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5131
51321. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5133
5134 make O=/tmp/build distclean
ab584d67 5135 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5136 make O=/tmp/build all
5137
adbba996 51382. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
baf31249 5139
adbba996 5140 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
baf31249 5141 make distclean
ab584d67 5142 make NAME_defconfig
baf31249
MB
5143 make all
5144
adbba996 5145Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
baf31249
MB
5146variable.
5147
2729af9d
WD
5148
5149Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5150for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5151native "make".
5152
5153
5154If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5155to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5156steps:
5157
51581. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
5159 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5160 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
51612. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5162 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5163 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51643. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5165 your board
51663. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5167 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
ab584d67 51684. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
2729af9d
WD
51695. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5170 to be installed on your target system.
51716. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5172 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

5178If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5179or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
5180provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5181the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 5182official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 5183
218ca724
WD
5184But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5185cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
5186the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5187just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
5188for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5189select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5190environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5191you can type
2729af9d
WD
5192
5193 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5194
5195or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5196
5197 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5198
218ca724
WD
5199When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5200U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5201setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5202built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5203<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5204location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5205variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
5206
5207 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5208 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5209 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5210
218ca724
WD
5211With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5212log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5213during the whole build process.

5275
5276Environment Variables:
5277======================
5278
5279U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5280can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 5281
2729af9d
WD
5282Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5283"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5284without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5285environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5286working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5287environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 5288
c96f86ee
WD
5289Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5290
5291List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 5292
2729af9d 5293 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 5294
2729af9d 5295 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 5296
2729af9d 5297 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 5298
2729af9d 5299 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 5300
2729af9d 5301 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 5302
7d721e34
BS
5303 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5304 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5305 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5306 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5307 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5308 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
5309 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5310 bootm_mapsize.
5311
c0f40859 5312 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
5313 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5314 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5315 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5316 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5317 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5318 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
5319
5320 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5321 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5322 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5323 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5324 environment variable.
5325
4bae9090
BS
5326 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5327 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5328 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5329
2729af9d
WD
5330 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5331 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5332 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5333 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 5334
2729af9d
WD
5335 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5336 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5337 be automatically started (by internally calling
5338 "bootm")
38b99261 5339
2729af9d
WD
5340 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5341 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5342 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5343 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5344 data.
c609719b 5345
a28afca5
DL
5346 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5347 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
5348 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5349 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5350 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5351 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5352 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5353 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5354 access it during the boot procedure.
5355
a28afca5
DL
5356 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5357 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5358 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5359 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5360 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5361 must be accessible by the kernel.
5362
eea63e05
SG
5363 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5364 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5365 defined.
5366
17ea1177
WD
5367 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5368 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5369 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5370 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5371 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5372
2729af9d
WD
5373 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5374 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5375 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5376 is usually what you want since it allows for
5377 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5378 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 5379 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
5380 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5381 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5382 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5383 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 5384
2729af9d
WD
5385 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5386 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5387 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5388 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5389 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5390 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 5391
2729af9d 5392 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 5393
2729af9d
WD
5394 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5395 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5396 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5397 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5398 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5399 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5400 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 5401
2729af9d 5402 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 5403
2729af9d
WD
5404 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5405 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 5406
2729af9d 5407 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 5408
2729af9d 5409 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 5410
2729af9d 5411 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 5412
2729af9d 5413 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 5414
2729af9d 5415 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 5416
e2a53458 5417 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 5418
e2a53458
MF
5419 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5420 For example you can do the following
c609719b 5421
48690d80
HS
5422 => setenv ethact FEC
5423 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5424 => setenv ethact SCC
5425 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 5426
e1692577
MF
5427 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5428 available network interfaces.
5429 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5430
c96f86ee 5431 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
5432 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5433 When set to "once" the network operation will
5434 fail when all the available network interfaces
5435 are tried once without success.
5436 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5437 themselves.
c609719b 5438
b4e2f89d 5439 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 5440
b445bbb4 5441 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
8d51aacd
SG
5442 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5443 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5444 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5445 is silent.
5446
f5fb7346 5447 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
5448 UDP source port.
5449
f5fb7346 5450 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
28cb9375
WD
5451 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5452
c96f86ee
WD
5453 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5454 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5455
5456 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5457 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5458 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5459 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5460 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5461 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5462 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5463
f5fb7346
AA
5464 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5465 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5466 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5467 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5468 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5469 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5470 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5471
c96f86ee 5472 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 5473 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 5474 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 5475
dc0b7b0e
JH
5476The following image location variables contain the location of images
5477used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5478not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5479variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5480server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5481loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5482flash or offset in NAND flash.
5483
5484*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
aed9fed9 5485boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
dc0b7b0e
JH
5486boards use these variables for other purposes.

5502 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5503 hostname - Target hostname
5504 ipaddr - see above
5505 netmask - Subnet Mask
5506 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5507 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 5508
c1551ea8 5509
2729af9d 5510There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 5511
2729af9d
WD
5512 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5513 as type string and/or serial number
5514 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 5515
2729af9d
WD
5516These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5517the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5518once they have been set once.
c609719b 5519
f07771cc 5520
2729af9d 5521Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 5522
2729af9d
WD
5523 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5524 with the "version" command. This variable is
5525 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

5532Callback functions for environment variables:
5533---------------------------------------------
5534
5535For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
b445bbb4 5536when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
170ab110
JH
5537be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5538deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5539effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5540
5541The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5542U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5543
5544These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5545static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5546in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5547associations. The list must be in the following format:
5548
5549 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5550 list = entry[,list]
5551
5552If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5553Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5554
5555Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5556with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5557override any association in the static list. You can define
5558CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
b445bbb4 5559".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
170ab110 5560
bdf1fe4e
JH
5561If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5562regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5563the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

5566Command Line Parsing:
5567=====================
f07771cc 5568
2729af9d
WD
5569There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5570the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 5571
2729af9d
WD
5572Old, simple command line parser:
5573--------------------------------
c609719b 5574
2729af9d
WD
5575- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5576- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 5577- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
5578- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5579 for example:
fe126d8b 5580 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
5581- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5582 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 5583
2729af9d
WD
5584Hush shell:
5585-----------
c609719b 5586
2729af9d
WD
5587- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5588 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5589 until...do...done, ...
5590- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5591 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5592 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5593 command
5594
5595General rules:
5596--------------
c609719b 5597
2729af9d
WD
5598(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5599 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5600 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5601 executed anyway.
c609719b 5602
2729af9d 5603(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 5604 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD

5608Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5609=======================================
c609719b 5610
11ccc33f 5611Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
5612such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5613"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 5614
2729af9d
WD
5615Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5616MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5617"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 5618
2729af9d
WD
5619If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5620in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5621ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5622variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 5623
2729af9d
WD
5624o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5625 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 5626
2729af9d
WD
5627o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5628 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5629 used.
c609719b 5630
2729af9d
WD
5631o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5632 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 5633
2729af9d
WD
5634o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5635 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5636 warning is printed.
c609719b 5637
2729af9d 5638o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
bef1014b
JH
5639 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5640 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
c609719b 5641
ecee9324 5642If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 5643will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
5644may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5645The naming convention is as follows:
5646"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

5648Image Formats:
5649==============
c609719b 5650
3310c549
MB
5651U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5652images in two formats:
5653
5654New uImage format (FIT)
5655-----------------------
5656
5657Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5658to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5659components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5660SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5661
5662
5663Old uImage format
5664-----------------
5665
5666Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5667preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5668details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

5689Linux Support:
5690==============
c609719b 5691
2729af9d
WD
5692Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5693easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5694U-Boot.
c609719b 5695
2729af9d
WD
5696U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5697special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5698"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5699instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5700serves several purposes:
c609719b 5701
2729af9d
WD
5702- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5703 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5704 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 5705
2729af9d
WD
5706- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5707 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 5708
2729af9d
WD
5709- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5710 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5711 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5712 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5713 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5714 software is easier now.

5717Linux HOWTO:
5718============
c609719b 5719
2729af9d
WD
5720Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5721---------------------------------------
c609719b 5722
2729af9d
WD
5723U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5724configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5725(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5726Linux :-).
c609719b 5727
a47a12be 5728But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 5729
2729af9d
WD
5730Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5731include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
5732Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5733and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 5734as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 5735
2eb31b13
SG
5736Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5737If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5738is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5739doc/driver-model.
5740
c609719b 5741
2729af9d
WD
5742Configuring the Linux kernel:
5743-----------------------------
c609719b 5744
2729af9d
WD
5745No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5746device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5747
5748
5749Building a Linux Image:
5750-----------------------
c609719b 5751
2729af9d
WD
5752With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5753not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5754"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5755U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5756which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5757100% compatible format.
5758
5759Example:
5760
ab584d67 5761 make TQM850L_defconfig
2729af9d
WD
5762 make oldconfig
5763 make dep
5764 make uImage
5765
5766The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5767encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5768CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5769
5770* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5771
5772* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5773
5774 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5775 -R .note -R .comment \
5776 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5777
5778* compress the binary image:
5779
5780 gzip -9 linux.bin
5781
5782* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5783
5784 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5785 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5786 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 5787
c609719b 5788
2729af9d
WD
5789The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5790with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5791combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5792byte header containing information about target architecture,
5793operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5794stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5795
5796"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5797print the header information, or to build new images.
5798
5799In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5800contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5801checksum verification:
c609719b 5802
2729af9d
WD
5803 tools/mkimage -l image
5804 -l ==> list image header information
5805
5806The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5807from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5808
5809 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5810 -n name -d data_file image
5811 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5812 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5813 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5814 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5815 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5816 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5817 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5818 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5819
69459791
WD
5820Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5821address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5822kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
5823
5824- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5825- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5826
5827So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5828
5829 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5830 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5831 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d
WD
5832 > examples/uImage.TQM850L

5837 Load Address: 0x00000000
5838 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5839
5840To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5841
5842 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5843 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5844 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

5847 Load Address: 0x00000000
5848 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5849
5850NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5851speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5852needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5853need to be uncompressed:
5854
a47a12be 5855 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
5856 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5857 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 5858 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5866
5867
5868Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5869when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5870
5871 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5872 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5873 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5878 Load Address: 0x00000000
5879 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5880

5881The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5882option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5883option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5884from the image:
5885
f41f5b7c
GMF
5886 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5887 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5888 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5889 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

5891
5892Installing a Linux Image:
5893-------------------------
5894
5895To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5896you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5897
5898 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5899
5900The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5901image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5902address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5903specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5904command.
5905
5906Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5907TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5908
5909 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5910
5911 .......... done
5912 Erased 8 sectors
5913
5914 => loads 40100000
5915 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5924
5925You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 5926this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5940Boot Linux:
5941-----------
5942
5943The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5944memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5945of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5946parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5947"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5948
5949
5950 => printenv bootargs
5951 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5952
5953 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6023Boot Linux and pass a flat device tree:
6024-----------
6025
6026First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
6027titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
6028following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
6029flat device tree:

6072More About U-Boot Image Types:
6073------------------------------
6074
6075U-Boot supports the following image types:
6076
6077 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6078 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6079 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6080 the Standalone Program.
6081 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6082 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6083 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6084 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6085 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6086 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6087 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6088 being started.
6089 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6090 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6091 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6092 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6093 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6094 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6095
6096 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6097 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6098 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6099 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6100 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6101 a multiple of 4 bytes).
6102
6103 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6104 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6105 flash memory.
6106
6107 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6108 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6109 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6110 as command interpreter.

6112Booting the Linux zImage:
6113-------------------------
6114
6115On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6116using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6117as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6118
8ac28563 6119Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
017e1f3f
MV
6120kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6121address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6122format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

6125Standalone HOWTO:
6126=================
6127
6128One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6129run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6130U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6131
6132Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6133
6134"Hello World" Demo:
6135-------------------
6136
6137'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6138application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6139It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6140like that:
6141
6142 => loads
6143 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
6144 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
6145 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6146 [file transfer complete]
6147 [connected]
6148 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6149
6150 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6151 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6152 Hello World
6153 argc = 7
6154 argv[0] = "40004"
6155 argv[1] = "Hello"
6156 argv[2] = "World!"
6157 argv[3] = "This"
6158 argv[4] = "is"
6159 argv[5] = "a"
6160 argv[6] = "test."
6161 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6162 Hit any key to exit ...
6163
6164 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6165
6166Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6167handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6168Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6169The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6170character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6171controlled by the following keys:
6172
6173 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6174 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6175 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6176 q - quit application
6177
6178 => loads
6179 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

6213Minicom warning:
6214================
6215
6216Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6217"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6218consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6219Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6220especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
6221use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
6222http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6223for help with kermit.
6224

6225
6226Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6227configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:

6234NetBSD Notes:
6235=============
6236
6237Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6238(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6239
6240Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6241NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6242need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6243Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6244attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6245missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6246
6247 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6248 # mkdir powerpc
6249 # ln -s powerpc machine
6250 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6251 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6252
6253Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6254and U-Boot include files.
6255
6256Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6257stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6258proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6259tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 6260meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

6263Implementation Internals:
6264=========================
6265
6266The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6267implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6268inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6269hardware.
6270
6271
6272Initial Stack, Global Data:
6273---------------------------
6274
6275The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6276starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6277system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6278This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6279is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6280at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6281options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6282models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6283MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6284locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6285
218ca724 6286 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 6287 U-Boot mailing list:

6292 ...
6293
6294 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6295 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6296 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6297 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6298 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 6299 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
6300 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6301 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6302
6303 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6304 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 6305 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
6306 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6307 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6308 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6309 used.
6310
6d0f6bcf 6311 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
6312 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6313 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 6314 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
6315 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6316 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6317 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6318 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6319 you get the config right.

6323
6324It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6325code for the initialization procedures:
6326
6327* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6328 to write it.
6329
b445bbb4 6330* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
2729af9d
WD
6331 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6332 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6333
6334* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6335 that.
6336
6337Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
b445bbb4 6338normal global data to share information between the code. But it
2729af9d
WD
6339turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6340simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6341functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6342functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6343the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6344place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6345reserve for this purpose.
6346
6347When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6348relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6349GCC's implementation.
6350
6351For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6352 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 6353 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
6354 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6355 R5-R10: parameter passing
6356 R13: small data area pointer
6357 R30: GOT pointer
6358 R31: frame pointer
6359
e6bee808
JT
6360 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6361 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6362 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 6363
e7670f6c 6364 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
6365
6366 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6367 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6368 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6369 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6370 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6371 624 text + 127 data).

6419Memory Management:
6420------------------
6421
6422U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6423MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6424
6425The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6426controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6427memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6428physical memory banks.
6429
6430U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6431TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6432booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6433to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 6434memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
6435configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6436Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6437
6438Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6439of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6440
6441So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6442this:
6443
6444 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6445 :
6446 0x0000 1FFF
6447 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6448 :
6449 :
6450
6451 :
6452 :
6453 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6454 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6455 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6456 :
6457 0x00FD FFFF
6458 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6459 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6460 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6461 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6462
6463
6464System Initialization:
6465----------------------
c609719b 6466
2729af9d 6467In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 6468(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
b445bbb4 6469configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.

6470To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6471To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6472initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6473which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6474part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6475the caches and the SIU.
6476
6477Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6478preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6479(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6480on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6481programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6482simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6483banks.
6484
6485When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6486different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6487bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64880x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6489contiguous memory starting from 0.
6490
6491Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6492and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6493Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6494pages, and the final stack is set up.
6495
6496Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6497until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6498running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6499new address in RAM.

6576Coding Standards:
6577-----------------
c609719b 6578
2729af9d 6579All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2c051651 6580coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
7ca9296e 6581"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
2c051651
DZ
6582
6583Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6584MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
b445bbb4 6585reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
2c051651
DZ
6586sources.
6587
6588Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6589Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6590in your code.
c609719b 6591
2729af9d
WD
6592Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6593- remove any trailing white space
7ca9296e 6594- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
2729af9d 6595- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 6596- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 6597- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
180d3f74 6598
2729af9d
WD
6599Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6600with a request to reformat the changes.

6603Submitting Patches:
6604-------------------
c609719b 6605
2729af9d
WD
6606Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6607establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6608may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 6609
0d28f34b 6610Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
218ca724 6611
0668236b
WD
6612Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <[email protected]>;
6613see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6614
2729af9d
WD
6615When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6616it:
c609719b 6617
2729af9d
WD
6618* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6619 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6620 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 6621
2729af9d
WD
6622* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6623 implementation.
c609719b 6624
2729af9d 6625* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 6626
2729af9d 6627* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 6628
27af930e
AA
6629* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6630 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
c609719b 6631
2729af9d
WD
6632* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6633 document these in the README file.
c609719b 6634
218ca724
WD
6635* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6636 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 6637 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
6638 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6639 with some other mail clients.
6640
6641 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6642 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6643 GNU diff.
c609719b 6644
218ca724
WD
6645 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6646 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6647 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6648 affected files).
6dff5529 6649
218ca724
WD
6650 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6651 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 6652
2729af9d
WD
6653* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6654 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 6655
2729af9d
WD
6656* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6657 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
8bde7f77 6658
52f52c14 6659
2729af9d 6660Notes:
c609719b 6661
2729af9d
WD
6662* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6663 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6664 for any of the boards.
c609719b 6665
2729af9d
WD
6666* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6667 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6668 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 6669
2729af9d
WD
6670* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6671 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6672 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6673 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6674 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6675 modification.
90dc6704 6676
0668236b
WD
6677* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6678 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6679 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6680 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
