9 | ======== | |
10 | ||
24ee89b9 | 11 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for |
e86e5a07 WD |
12 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other |
13 | processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to | |
14 | initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application | |
15 | code. | |
c609719b WD |
16 | |
17 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of | |
24ee89b9 WD |
18 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some |
19 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to | |
c609719b WD |
20 | support booting of Linux images. |
21 | ||
22 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily | |
23 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are | |
24 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to | |
25 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used | |
26 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can | |
27 | load and run it dynamically. | |
28 | ||
29 | ||
30 | Status: | |
31 | ======= | |
32 | ||
33 | In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the | |
24ee89b9 | 34 | Makefile 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 | 37 | In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out |
27af930e | 38 | who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board |
218ca724 | 39 | maintainers. |

41 | Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; |
42 | it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: | |

224 | Software Configuration: |
225 | ======================= | |
226 | ||
227 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the | |
228 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. | |
229 | ||
230 | There are two classes of configuration variables: | |
231 | ||
232 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: | |
233 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with | |
234 | "CONFIG_". | |
235 | ||
236 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: | |
237 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if | |
238 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with | |
6d0f6bcf | 239 | "CONFIG_SYS_". |
c609719b WD |
240 | |
241 | Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even | |
242 | identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to | |
243 | do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic | |
244 | links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards | |
245 | as an example here. | |
246 | ||
247 | ||
248 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: | |
249 | --------------------------------------------------- | |
250 | ||
251 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default | |
252 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". | |
253 | ||
254 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: | |
255 | ||
256 | cd u-boot | |
257 | make TQM823L_config | |
258 | ||
11ccc33f | 259 | For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; |
c609719b WD |
260 | e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent |
261 | directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. | |
262 | ||
263 | ||
264 | Configuration Options: | |
265 | ---------------------- | |
266 | ||
267 | Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all | |
268 | such information is kept in a configuration file | |
269 | "include/configs/<board_name>.h". | |
270 | ||
271 | Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in | |
272 | "include/configs/TQM823L.h". | |
273 | ||
274 | ||
7f6c2cbc WD |
275 | Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux |
276 | kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to | |
277 | build a config tool - later. | |
278 | ||
279 | ||
c609719b WD |
280 | The following options need to be configured: |

2535d602 | 317 | |
cf946c6d LW |
318 | - Marvell Family Member |
319 | CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable | |
320 | multiple fs option at one time | |
321 | for marvell soc family | |
322 | ||
c609719b | 323 | - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) |

329 | get_gclk_freq() cannot work | |
5da627a4 WD |
330 | e.g. if there is no 32KHz |
331 | reference PIT/RTC clock | |
66ca92a5 WD |
332 | CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK |
333 | or XTAL/EXTAL) | |

66ca92a5 | 338 | CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT |
75d1ea7f WD |
339 | See doc/README.MPC866 |
340 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 341 | CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK |
75d1ea7f | 342 | |
ba56f625 WD |
343 | Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead |
344 | of relying on the correctness of the configured | |
345 | values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure | |
346 | the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note | |
347 | that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz | |
6d0f6bcf | 348 | RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) |
75d1ea7f | 349 | |
506f3918 HS |
350 | CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE |
351 | ||
352 | Define this option if you want to enable the | |
353 | ICache only when Code runs from RAM. | |
354 | ||
66412c63 | 355 | - 85xx CPU Options: |
ffd06e02 YS |
356 | CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 |
357 | ||
358 | Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements | |
359 | the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR | |
360 | compliance, among other possible reasons. | |
361 | ||
66412c63 KG |
362 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV |
363 | ||
364 | Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the | |
365 | system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ | |
366 | devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. | |
367 | ||
8f29084a KG |
368 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT |
369 | ||
370 | Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device | |
371 | tree nodes for the given platform. | |
372 | ||
afa6b551 PK |
373 | CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB |
374 | ||
375 | Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work | |
376 | around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger | |
377 | support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where | |
378 | breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this | |
379 | symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this | |
380 | purpose. | |
381 | ||
33eee330 SW |
382 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 |
383 | ||
384 | Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, | |
385 | then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and | |
386 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. | |
387 | ||
388 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV | |
389 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) | |
390 | ||
391 | Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) | |
392 | for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. | |
393 | ||
394 | The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision | |
395 | of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus | |
396 | p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls | |
397 | whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. | |
398 | ||
399 | See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about | |
400 | this erratum. | |
401 | ||
74fa22ed PK |
402 | CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND |
403 | Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only | |
404 | requred during NOR boot. | |
405 | ||
33eee330 SW |
406 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY |
407 | ||

488 | CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD |
489 | ||
490 | Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction | |
491 | set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides | |
492 | better code density. For ARM architectures that support | |
493 | Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by | |
494 | GCC. | |

497 | CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 |
498 | CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 | |
499 | CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 | |
500 | ||
501 | If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early | |
502 | during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the | |
503 | workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection | |
504 | exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not | |
505 | set these options unless they apply! | |
506 | ||
795659dc SW |
507 | - CPU timer options: |
508 | CONFIG_SYS_HZ | |
509 | ||
510 | The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). | |
511 | get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG | |
512 | option must be set to 1000. | |

5da627a4 | 514 | - Linux Kernel Interface: |
c609719b WD |
515 | CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ |
516 | ||
517 | U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz | |
518 | internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux | |
519 | kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the | |
520 | bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable | |
521 | "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot | |
522 | converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the | |
523 | Linux kernel. | |
c609719b | 524 | When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of |
218ca724 | 525 | "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the |
c609719b WD |
526 | default environment. |
527 | ||
5da627a4 WD |
528 | CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] |
529 | ||
11ccc33f | 530 | When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions |
5da627a4 WD |
531 | expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. |
532 | Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. | |
533 | ||
fec6d9ee | 534 | CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT |
f57f70aa WD |
535 | |
536 | New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be | |

537 | passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware |
538 | concepts). | |
539 | ||
540 | CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT | |
541 | * New libfdt-based support | |

561 | ||
11ccc33f | 562 | This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot |
0267768e MM |
563 | param header, the default value is zero if undefined. |
564 | ||
3887c3fb HS |
565 | CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP |
566 | ||
567 | U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. | |
568 | If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot | |
569 | removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, | |
570 | so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and | |
571 | crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where | |
572 | no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. | |
573 | ||
7eb29398 IG |
574 | CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] |
575 | ||
576 | This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one | |
577 | machine type and must be used to specify the machine type | |
578 | number as it appears in the ARM machine registry | |
579 | (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). | |
580 | Only boards that have multiple machine types supported | |
581 | in a single configuration file and the machine type is | |
582 | runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. | |
583 | ||

584 | - vxWorks boot parameters: |
585 | ||
586 | bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following | |
587 | environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. | |
588 | It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. | |

617 | ||
48d0192f | 618 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL |
6705d81e WD |
619 | |
620 | Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. | |
621 | ||
622 | CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK | |
623 | ||
624 | If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to | |
625 | the clock speed of the UARTs. | |
626 | ||
627 | CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS | |
628 | ||
629 | If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, | |
630 | define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) | |
631 | port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h | |
632 | ||
910f1ae3 JR |
633 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR |
634 | ||
635 | Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) | |
636 | have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set | |
637 | this variable to initialize the extra register. | |
638 | ||
639 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT | |
640 | ||
641 | On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage | |
642 | boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this | |
643 | variable to flush the UART at init time. | |
644 | ||
6705d81e | 645 | |
c609719b | 646 | - Console Interface: |
43d9616c WD |
647 | Depending on board, define exactly one serial port |
648 | (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, | |
649 | CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial | |
650 | console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE | |
c609719b WD |
651 | |
652 | Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial | |
653 | port routines must be defined elsewhere | |
654 | (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) | |
655 | ||
656 | CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE | |
657 | Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following | |

695 | When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support |
696 | a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, | |
697 | erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). | |
698 | ||
43d9616c WD |
699 | When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is |
700 | default i/o. Serial console can be forced with | |
701 | environment 'console=serial'. | |
c609719b | 702 | |
d4ca31c4 WD |
703 | When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console |
704 | messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with | |
705 | the "silent" environment variable. See | |
706 | doc/README.silent for more information. | |

c92fac91 HS |
714 | - Console Rx buffer length |
715 | With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define | |
716 | the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. | |
2b3f12c2 | 717 | This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. |
c92fac91 HS |
718 | If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE |
719 | must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for | |
720 | the SMC. | |
721 | ||
9558b48a | 722 | - Pre-Console Buffer: |
4cf2609b WD |
723 | Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART |
724 | initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. | |
725 | Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to | |
726 | buffer any console messages prior to the console being | |
727 | initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ | |
728 | bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is | |
729 | a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ | |
6feff899 | 730 | bytes are output before the console is initialised, the |
4cf2609b WD |
731 | earlier bytes are discarded. |
732 | ||
733 | 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if | |
734 | CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 | |
9558b48a | 735 | |
046a37bd SR |
736 | - Safe printf() functions |
737 | Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of | |
738 | the printf() functions. These are defined in | |
739 | include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and | |
740 | so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. | |
741 | If this option is not given then these functions will | |
742 | silently discard their buffer size argument - this means | |
743 | you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. | |
744 | ||
c609719b WD |
745 | - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds |
746 | Delay before automatically booting the default image; | |
747 | set to -1 to disable autoboot. | |
93d7212f JH |
748 | set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort |
749 | (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). | |
c609719b WD |
750 | |
751 | See doc/README.autoboot for these options that | |
752 | work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. | |
753 | CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME | |
754 | CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN | |
755 | CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED | |
756 | CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT | |

762 | CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY | |
763 | ||
764 | - Autoboot Command: | |
765 | CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND | |
766 | Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; | |
767 | define a command string that is automatically executed | |
768 | when no character is read on the console interface | |
769 | within "Boot Delay" after reset. | |
770 | ||
771 | CONFIG_BOOTARGS | |
43d9616c WD |
772 | This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm |
773 | command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the | |
774 | environment value "bootargs". | |
c609719b WD |
775 | |
776 | CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT | |
43d9616c WD |
777 | The value of these goes into the environment as |
778 | "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used | |
779 | as a convenience, when switching between booting from | |
11ccc33f | 780 | RAM and NFS. |
c609719b WD |
781 | |
782 | - Pre-Boot Commands: | |
783 | CONFIG_PREBOOT | |
784 | ||
785 | When this option is #defined, the existence of the | |
786 | environment variable "preboot" will be checked | |
787 | immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY | |
788 | countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. | |
789 | entering interactive mode. | |
790 | ||
791 | This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is | |
792 | automatically generated or modified. For an example | |
793 | see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is | |
794 | modified when the user holds down a certain | |
795 | combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when | |
796 | booting the systems | |
797 | ||
798 | - Serial Download Echo Mode: | |
799 | CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO | |
800 | If defined to 1, all characters received during a | |
801 | serial download (using the "loads" command) are | |
802 | echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal | |
803 | emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take | |
804 | time on others. This setting #define's the initial | |
805 | value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. | |
806 | ||
602ad3b3 | 807 | - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) |
c609719b WD |
808 | CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE |
809 | Select one of the baudrates listed in | |
6d0f6bcf | 810 | CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. |
c609719b WD |
811 | |
812 | - Monitor Functions: | |
602ad3b3 JL |
813 | Monitor commands can be included or excluded |
814 | from the build by using the #include files | |
c6c621bd SW |
815 | <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted |
816 | commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> | |
602ad3b3 JL |
817 | and augmenting with additional #define's |
818 | for wanted commands. | |
819 | ||
820 | The default command configuration includes all commands | |
821 | except those marked below with a "*". | |
822 | ||
823 | CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable | |
602ad3b3 JL |

923 | |
924 | EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network | |
925 | support you can write: | |
926 | ||
602ad3b3 JL |
927 | #include "config_cmd_all.h" |
928 | #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET | |
c609719b | 929 | |
213bf8c8 GVB |
930 | Other Commands: |
931 | fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT | |
c609719b WD |
932 | |
933 | Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands | |
602ad3b3 | 934 | (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know |
43d9616c WD |
935 | what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data |
936 | cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or | |
937 | 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be | |
938 | uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other | |
939 | systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an | |
940 | initial stack and some data. | |
c609719b WD |
941 | |
942 | ||
943 | XXX - this list needs to get updated! | |
944 | ||
a5ecbe62 WD |
945 | - Regular expression support: |
946 | CONFIG_REGEX | |
947 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against | |
948 | the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, | |
949 | which adds regex support to some commands, as for | |
950 | example "env grep" and "setexpr". | |
951 | ||
45ba8077 SG |
952 | - Device tree: |
953 | CONFIG_OF_CONTROL | |
954 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree | |
955 | to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically | |
956 | compiled #defines in the board file. This option is | |
957 | experimental and only available on a few boards. The device | |
958 | tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. | |
959 | ||
2c0f79e4 SG |
960 | U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can |
961 | be done using one of the two options below: | |
bbb0b128 SG |
962 | |
963 | CONFIG_OF_EMBED | |
964 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree | |
965 | binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the | |
966 | board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file | |
967 | is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through | |
968 | the global data structure as gd->blob. | |
45ba8077 | 969 | |
2c0f79e4 SG |
970 | CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE |
971 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree | |
972 | binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific | |
973 | code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: | |
974 | ||
975 | cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin | |
976 | ||
977 | and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called | |
978 | u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can | |
979 | still use the individual files if you need something more | |
980 | exotic. | |
981 | ||
c609719b WD |
982 | - Watchdog: |
983 | CONFIG_WATCHDOG | |
984 | If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog | |
6abe6fb6 DZ |
985 | support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC |
986 | specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 | |
987 | CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR | |
988 | register. When supported for a specific SoC is | |
989 | available, then no further board specific code should | |
990 | be needed to use it. | |
991 | ||
992 | CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG | |
993 | When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used | |
994 | SoC, then define this variable and provide board | |
995 | specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. | |
c609719b | 996 | |
c1551ea8 SR |
997 | - U-Boot Version: |
998 | CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE | |
999 | If this variable is defined, an environment variable | |
1000 | named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot | |
1001 | version as printed by the "version" command. | |
a1ea8e51 BT |
1002 | Any change to this variable will be reverted at the |
1003 | next reset. | |
c1551ea8 | 1004 | |
c609719b WD |
1005 | - Real-Time Clock: |
1006 | ||
602ad3b3 | 1007 | When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC |
c609719b WD |
1008 | has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the |
1009 | following options: | |
1010 | ||
1011 | CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx | |
1012 | CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC | |
4e8b7544 | 1013 | CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC |

3bac3513 | 1018 | CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC |
9536dfcc | 1019 | CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC |
4c0d4c3b | 1020 | CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC |
6d0f6bcf | 1021 | CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 |
71d19f30 HS |
1022 | CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on |
1023 | RV3029 RTC. | |
c609719b | 1024 | |
b37c7e5e WD |
1025 | Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface |
1026 | must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. | |
1027 | ||
e92739d3 PT |
1028 | - GPIO Support: |
1029 | CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO | |
1030 | CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command | |
1031 | ||
5dec49ca CP |
1032 | The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of |
1033 | chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of | |
1034 | pins supported by a particular chip. | |
1035 | ||
e92739d3 PT |
1036 | Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface |
1037 | must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. | |
1038 | ||
c609719b WD |
1039 | - Timestamp Support: |
1040 | ||
43d9616c WD |
1041 | When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp |
1042 | (date and time) of an image is printed by image | |
1043 | commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is | |
602ad3b3 | 1044 | automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . |
c609719b | 1045 | |
923c46f9 KP |
1046 | - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: |
1047 | Zero or more of the following: | |
1048 | CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. | |
1049 | CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the | |
1050 | Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. | |
1051 | CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. | |
1052 | CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the | |
1053 | bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see | |
1054 | disk/part_efi.c | |
1055 | CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. | |
c609719b | 1056 | |
218ca724 WD |
1057 | If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or |
1058 | CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at | |
923c46f9 | 1059 | least one non-MTD partition type as well. |
c609719b WD |
1060 | |
1061 | - IDE Reset method: | |
4d13cbad WD |
1062 | CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several |
1063 | board configurations files but used nowhere! | |
c609719b | 1064 | |
4d13cbad WD |
1065 | CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will |
1066 | be performed by calling the function | |
1067 | ide_set_reset(int reset) | |
1068 | which has to be defined in a board specific file | |
c609719b WD |
1069 | |
1070 | - ATAPI Support: | |
1071 | CONFIG_ATAPI | |
1072 | ||
1073 | Set this to enable ATAPI support. | |

1090 | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. | |
1091 | ||
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
1092 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and |
1093 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * | |
1094 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the | |
c609719b WD |
1095 | maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target |
1096 | devices. | |
6d0f6bcf | 1097 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) |

1414 | one that would help mostly the developer. | |
1415 | ||
e7e75c70 HS |
1416 | CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE |
1417 | Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the | |
1418 | raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer | |
1419 | configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable | |
1420 | through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. | |
1421 | ||
ea2453d5 PA |
1422 | CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE |
1423 | When updating files rather than the raw storage device, | |
1424 | we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write | |
1425 | the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define | |
1426 | this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. | |
1427 | Default is 4 MiB if undefined. | |

1437 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 1438 | CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART |
6705d81e WD |
1439 | Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a |
1440 | function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) | |
1441 | ||
1442 | If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to | |
6d0f6bcf | 1443 | #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 |
6705d81e WD |
1444 | to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you |
1445 | have not defined a custom partition | |

c609719b WD |
1576 | Active, color, single scan. |
1577 | ||
1578 | CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 | |
1579 | ||
1580 | Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. | |
1581 | It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. | |
1582 | ||
1583 | CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 | |
1584 | ||
1585 | Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. | |
1586 | Active, color, single scan. | |
1587 | ||
1588 | CONFIG_HLD1045 | |
1589 | ||
1590 | HLD1045 display, 640x480. | |
1591 | Active, color, single scan. | |
1592 | ||
1593 | CONFIG_OPTREX_BW | |
1594 | ||

1600 | ||
1601 | 320x240. Black & white. | |
1602 | ||
1603 | Normally display is black on white background; define | |
6d0f6bcf | 1604 | CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. |
c609719b | 1605 | |
676d319e SG |
1606 | CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT |
1607 | ||
1608 | Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is | |
1609 | defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. | |
1610 | For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE | |
1611 | here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on | |
1612 | a per-section basis. | |
1613 | ||
0d89efef SG |
1614 | CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES |
1615 | ||
1616 | When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of | |
1617 | lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes | |
1618 | the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling | |
1619 | is slow. | |
676d319e | 1620 | |
45d7f525 TWHT |
1621 | CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 |
1622 | ||
1623 | Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. | |
1624 | ||
735987c5 TWHT |
1625 | CONFIG_I2C_EDID |
1626 | ||
1627 | Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID | |
1628 | information over I2C from an attached LCD display. | |
1629 | ||
7152b1d0 | 1630 | - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN |
d791b1dc | 1631 | |
8bde7f77 WD |
1632 | If this option is set, the environment is checked for |
1633 | a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display | |
1634 | of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD | |
e94d2cd9 | 1635 | is suppressed and the BMP image at the address |
8bde7f77 WD |
1636 | specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The |
1637 | console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This | |
1638 | allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is | |
1639 | loaded very quickly after power-on. | |
d791b1dc | 1640 | |
c0880485 NK |
1641 | CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD |
1642 | ||
1643 | If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment | |
1644 | variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address | |
1645 | (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). | |
1646 | This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment | |
1647 | restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data | |
1648 | abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned | |
1649 | accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) | |
1650 | there is no need to set this option. | |
1651 | ||
1ca298ce MW |
1652 | CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN |
1653 | ||
1654 | If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned | |
1655 | on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the | |
1656 | position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as | |
1657 | number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it | |
1658 | is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also | |
1659 | specify 'm' for centering the image. | |
1660 | ||
1661 | Example: | |
1662 | setenv splashpos m,m | |
1663 | => image at center of screen | |
1664 | ||
1665 | setenv splashpos 30,20 | |
1666 | => image at x = 30 and y = 20 | |
1667 | ||
1668 | setenv splashpos -10,m | |
1669 | => vertically centered image | |
1670 | at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 | |
1671 | ||
98f4a3df SR |
1672 | - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP |
1673 | ||
1674 | If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP | |
1675 | images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the | |
1676 | splashscreen support or the bmp command. | |
1677 | ||
d5011762 AG |
1678 | - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 |
1679 | ||
1680 | If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images | |
1681 | can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the | |
1682 | bmp command. | |
1683 | ||
f2b96dfb LW |
1684 | - Do compresssing for memory range: |
1685 | CONFIG_CMD_ZIP | |
1686 | ||
1687 | If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method | |
1688 | to compress the specified memory at its best effort. | |
1689 | ||
c29fdfc1 | 1690 | - Compression support: |
8ef70478 KC |
1691 | CONFIG_GZIP |
1692 | ||
1693 | Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. | |
1694 | ||
c29fdfc1 WD |
1695 | CONFIG_BZIP2 |
1696 | ||
1697 | If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed | |
1698 | images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip | |
1699 | compressed images are supported. | |
1700 | ||
42d1f039 | 1701 | NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so |
6d0f6bcf | 1702 | the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should |
42d1f039 | 1703 | be at least 4MB. |
d791b1dc | 1704 | |
fc9c1727 LCM |
1705 | CONFIG_LZMA |
1706 | ||
1707 | If this option is set, support for lzma compressed | |
1708 | images is included. | |
1709 | ||
1710 | Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it | |
1711 | requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the | |
1712 | formula: | |
1713 | ||
1714 | (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) | |
1715 | ||
1716 | Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits | |
1717 | and Literal pos bits. | |
1718 | ||
1719 | This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, | |
1720 | for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a | |
1721 | total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is | |
1722 | a very small buffer. | |
1723 | ||
1724 | Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and | |
1725 | then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring | |
6d0f6bcf | 1726 | the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). |
fc9c1727 | 1727 | |
8ef70478 KC |
1728 | CONFIG_LZO |
1729 | ||
1730 | If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images | |
1731 | is included. | |
1732 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
1733 | - MII/PHY support: |
1734 | CONFIG_PHY_ADDR | |
1735 | ||
1736 | The address of PHY on MII bus. | |
1737 | ||
1738 | CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) | |
1739 | ||
1740 | The clock frequency of the MII bus | |
1741 | ||
1742 | CONFIG_PHY_GIGE | |
1743 | ||
1744 | If this option is set, support for speed/duplex | |
11ccc33f | 1745 | detection of gigabit PHY is included. |
17ea1177 WD |
1746 | |
1747 | CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY | |
1748 | ||
1749 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
1750 | reset before any MII register access is possible. | |
1751 | For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay | |
1752 | required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) | |
1753 | ||
1754 | CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) | |
1755 | ||
1756 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
1757 | command issued before MII status register can be read | |
1758 | ||
c609719b WD |
1759 | - Ethernet address: |
1760 | CONFIG_ETHADDR | |
c68a05fe | 1761 | CONFIG_ETH1ADDR |
c609719b WD |
1762 | CONFIG_ETH2ADDR |
1763 | CONFIG_ETH3ADDR | |
c68a05fe | 1764 | CONFIG_ETH4ADDR |
1765 | CONFIG_ETH5ADDR | |
c609719b | 1766 | |
11ccc33f MZ |
1767 | Define a default value for Ethernet address to use |
1768 | for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this | |
c609719b WD |
1769 | is not determined automatically. |
1770 | ||
1771 | - IP address: | |
1772 | CONFIG_IPADDR | |
1773 | ||
1774 | Define a default value for the IP address to use for | |
11ccc33f | 1775 | the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not |
c609719b | 1776 | determined through e.g. bootp. |
1ebcd654 | 1777 | (Environment variable "ipaddr") |
c609719b WD |
1778 | |
1779 | - Server IP address: | |
1780 | CONFIG_SERVERIP | |
1781 | ||
11ccc33f | 1782 | Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP |
c609719b | 1783 | server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. |
1ebcd654 | 1784 | (Environment variable "serverip") |
c609719b | 1785 | |
97cfe861 RG |
1786 | CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR |
1787 | ||
1788 | Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' | |
1789 | for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) | |
1790 | ||
1ebcd654 WD |
1791 | - Gateway IP address: |
1792 | CONFIG_GATEWAYIP | |
1793 | ||
1794 | Defines a default value for the IP address of the | |
1795 | default router where packets to other networks are | |
1796 | sent to. | |
1797 | (Environment variable "gatewayip") | |
1798 | ||
1799 | - Subnet mask: | |
1800 | CONFIG_NETMASK | |
1801 | ||
1802 | Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or | |
1803 | routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP | |
1804 | address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be | |
1805 | forwarded through a router. | |
1806 | (Environment variable "netmask") | |
1807 | ||
53a5c424 DU |
1808 | - Multicast TFTP Mode: |
1809 | CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP | |
1810 | ||
1811 | Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per | |
1812 | rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets | |
11ccc33f | 1813 | tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet |
53a5c424 DU |
1814 | driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a |
1815 | multicast group. | |
1816 | ||
c609719b WD |
1817 | - BOOTP Recovery Mode: |
1818 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY | |
1819 | ||
1820 | If you have many targets in a network that try to | |
1821 | boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all | |
1822 | systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same | |
1823 | moment (which would happen for instance at recovery | |
1824 | from a power failure, when all systems will try to | |
1825 | boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining | |
1826 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be | |
1827 | inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The | |
6c33c785 | 1828 | following delays are inserted then: |
c609719b WD |
1829 | |
1830 | 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec | |
1831 | 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec | |
1832 | 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec | |
1833 | 4th and following | |
1834 | BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec | |
1835 | ||
fe389a82 | 1836 | - DHCP Advanced Options: |
1fe80d79 JL |
1837 | You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining |
1838 | CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: | |
1839 | ||
1840 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK | |
1841 | CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY | |
1842 | CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME | |
1843 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN | |
1844 | CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH | |
1845 | CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE | |
1846 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS | |
1847 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 | |
1848 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME | |
1849 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER | |
1850 | CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET | |
1851 | CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX | |
2c00e099 | 1852 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL |
fe389a82 | 1853 | |
5d110f0a WC |
1854 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip |
1855 | environment variable, not the BOOTP server. | |
fe389a82 | 1856 | |
2c00e099 JH |
1857 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found |
1858 | after the configured retry count, the call will fail | |
1859 | instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over | |
1860 | to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server | |
1861 | is not available. | |
1862 | ||
fe389a82 SR |
1863 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS |
1864 | serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more | |
1865 | than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. | |
1866 | If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS | |
1867 | serverip will be stored in the additional environment | |
1868 | variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always | |
1869 | stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS | |
1fe80d79 | 1870 | is defined. |
fe389a82 SR |
1871 | |
1872 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable | |
1873 | to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they | |
1874 | need the hostname of the DHCP requester. | |
5d110f0a | 1875 | If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content |
1fe80d79 JL |
1876 | of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as |
1877 | option 12 to the DHCP server. | |
fe389a82 | 1878 | |
d9a2f416 AV |
1879 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY |
1880 | ||
1881 | A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between | |
1882 | receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". | |
1883 | This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't | |
1884 | respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an | |
1885 | AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed | |
1886 | to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 | |
1887 | DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at | |
1888 | least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope | |
1889 | that one of the retries will be successful but note that | |
1890 | the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than | |
1891 | this delay. | |
1892 | ||
d22c338e JH |
1893 | - Link-local IP address negotiation: |
1894 | Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network | |
1895 | for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. | |
1896 | This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed | |
1897 | to exist in all environments that the device must operate. | |
1898 | ||
1899 | See doc/README.link-local for more information. | |
1900 | ||
a3d991bd | 1901 | - CDP Options: |
6e592385 | 1902 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID |
a3d991bd WD |
1903 | |
1904 | The device id used in CDP trigger frames. | |
1905 | ||
1906 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX | |
1907 | ||
1908 | A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address | |
1909 | of the device. | |
1910 | ||
1911 | CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID | |
1912 | ||
1913 | A printf format string which contains the ascii name of | |
1914 | the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets | |
11ccc33f | 1915 | eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. |
a3d991bd WD |
1916 | |
1917 | CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES | |
1918 | ||
1919 | A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; | |
1920 | 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. | |
1921 | ||
1922 | CONFIG_CDP_VERSION | |
1923 | ||
1924 | An ascii string containing the version of the software. | |
1925 | ||
1926 | CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM | |
1927 | ||
1928 | An ascii string containing the name of the platform. | |
1929 | ||
1930 | CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER | |
1931 | ||
1932 | A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. | |
1933 | ||
1934 | CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION | |
1935 | ||
1936 | A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the | |
1937 | device in .1 of milliwatts. | |
1938 | ||
1939 | CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE | |
1940 | ||
1941 | A byte containing the id of the VLAN. | |
1942 | ||
c609719b WD |
1943 | - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED |
1944 | ||
1945 | Several configurations allow to display the current | |
1946 | status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink | |
1947 | fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as | |
1948 | soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and | |
1949 | start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running | |
1950 | (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux | |
1951 | kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this | |
1952 | feature in U-Boot. | |
1953 | ||
1954 | - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER | |
1955 | ||
1956 | Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support | |
1957 | on those systems that support this (optional) | |
1958 | feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. | |
1959 | ||
3f4978c7 HS |
1960 | - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C |
1961 | ||
1962 | This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use | |
1963 | i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set | |
1964 | CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c | |
1965 | based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See | |
1966 | common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line | |
1967 | interface. | |

2008 | CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES | |
2009 | Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you | |
2010 | don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this | |

ea818dbb | 2054 | - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C |
3f4978c7 HS |
2055 | |
2056 | NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which | |
2057 | provides the following compelling advantages: | |
2058 | ||
2059 | - more than one i2c adapter is usable | |
2060 | - approved multibus support | |
2061 | - better i2c mux support | |
2062 | ||
2063 | ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** | |
2064 | ||
ea818dbb HS |
2065 | These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining |
2066 | CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver | |
2067 | for the selected CPU. | |
c609719b | 2068 | |
945af8d7 | 2069 | This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot |
602ad3b3 | 2070 | command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in |
b37c7e5e WD |
2071 | CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime |
2072 | clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the | |
43d9616c | 2073 | command line interface. |
c609719b | 2074 | |
bb99ad6d | 2075 | CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. |
b37c7e5e | 2076 | |
945af8d7 | 2077 | There are several other quantities that must also be |
ea818dbb | 2078 | defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. |
c609719b | 2079 | |
6d0f6bcf | 2080 | In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED |
945af8d7 | 2081 | to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus |
6d0f6bcf | 2082 | to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie |
11ccc33f | 2083 | the CPU's i2c node address). |
945af8d7 | 2084 | |
8d321b81 | 2085 | Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx |
a47a12be | 2086 | (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node |
8d321b81 PT |
2087 | and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, |
2088 | eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set | |
2089 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. | |
c609719b | 2090 | |
5da71efa EM |
2091 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX |
2092 | ||
2093 | When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer | |
2094 | chips might think that the current transfer is still | |
2095 | in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start | |
2096 | commands until the slave device responds. | |
2097 | ||
945af8d7 | 2098 | That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. |
c609719b | 2099 | |
ea818dbb | 2100 | If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) |
b37c7e5e WD |
2101 | then the following macros need to be defined (examples are |
2102 | from include/configs/lwmon.h): | |
c609719b WD |
2103 | |
2104 | I2C_INIT | |
2105 | ||
b37c7e5e | 2106 | (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C |
43d9616c | 2107 | controller or configure ports. |
c609719b | 2108 | |
ba56f625 | 2109 | eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) |
b37c7e5e | 2110 | |
c609719b WD |
2111 | I2C_PORT |
2112 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2113 | (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code |
2114 | assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values | |
2115 | are 0..3 for ports A..D. | |
c609719b WD |
2116 | |
2117 | I2C_ACTIVE | |
2118 | ||
2119 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line active | |
2120 | (driven). If the data line is open collector, this | |
2121 | define can be null. | |
2122 | ||
b37c7e5e WD |
2123 | eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) |
2124 | ||
c609719b WD |
2125 | I2C_TRISTATE |
2126 | ||
2127 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated | |
2128 | (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this | |
2129 | define can be null. | |
2130 | ||
b37c7e5e WD |
2131 | eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) |
2132 | ||
c609719b WD |
2133 | I2C_READ |
2134 | ||
472d5460 YS |
2135 | Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, |
2136 | false if it is low. | |
c609719b | 2137 | |
b37c7e5e WD |
2138 | eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) |
2139 | ||
c609719b WD |
2140 | I2C_SDA(bit) |
2141 | ||
472d5460 YS |
2142 | If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it |
2143 | is false, it clears it (low). | |
c609719b | 2144 | |
b37c7e5e | 2145 | eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ |
2535d602 | 2146 | if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ |
ba56f625 | 2147 | else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA |
b37c7e5e | 2148 | |
c609719b WD |
2149 | I2C_SCL(bit) |
2150 | ||
472d5460 YS |
2151 | If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it |
2152 | is false, it clears it (low). | |
c609719b | 2153 | |
b37c7e5e | 2154 | eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ |
2535d602 | 2155 | if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ |
ba56f625 | 2156 | else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL |
b37c7e5e | 2157 | |
c609719b WD |
2158 | I2C_DELAY |
2159 | ||
2160 | This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this | |
2161 | controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus | |
b37c7e5e | 2162 | is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something |
945af8d7 WD |
2163 | like: |
2164 | ||
b37c7e5e | 2165 | #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) |
c609719b | 2166 | |
793b5726 MF |
2167 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA |
2168 | ||
2169 | If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), | |
2170 | then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be | |
2171 | used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will | |
2172 | have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. | |
2173 | ||
2174 | You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to | |
2175 | the generic GPIO functions. | |
2176 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2177 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD |
47cd00fa | 2178 | |
8bde7f77 WD |
2179 | When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer |
2180 | chips might think that the current transfer is still | |
2181 | in progress. On some boards it is possible to access | |
2182 | the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the | |
2183 | processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin | |
2184 | connected to the bus. If this option is defined a | |
2185 | custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c | |
2186 | is run early in the boot sequence. | |
47cd00fa | 2187 | |
26a33504 RR |
2188 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT |
2189 | ||
2190 | An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is | |
2191 | defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in | |
2192 | boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() | |
2193 | is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus | |
2194 | using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c | |
2195 | controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of | |
2196 | i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus | |
2197 | controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). | |
2198 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
2199 | CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) |
2200 | ||
2201 | This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags | |
2202 | in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment | |
2203 | variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) | |
2204 | ||
bb99ad6d BW |
2205 | CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
2206 | ||
2207 | This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which | |
c0f40859 WD |
2208 | must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is |
2209 | active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. | |
bb99ad6d BW |
2210 | Note that bus numbering is zero-based. |
2211 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2212 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES |
bb99ad6d BW |
2213 | |
2214 | This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped | |
c0f40859 | 2215 | when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
0f89c54b PT |
2216 | is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify |
2217 | a 1D array of device addresses | |
bb99ad6d BW |
2218 | |
2219 | e.g. | |
2220 | #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS | |
c0f40859 | 2221 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} |
bb99ad6d BW |
2222 | |
2223 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus | |
2224 | ||
c0f40859 | 2225 | #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
6d0f6bcf | 2226 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} |
bb99ad6d BW |
2227 | |
2228 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 | |
2229 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2230 | CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM |
be5e6181 TT |
2231 | |
2232 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. | |
2233 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. | |
2234 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2235 | CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM |
0dc018ec SR |
2236 | |
2237 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. | |
2238 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. | |
2239 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2240 | CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM |
0dc018ec SR |
2241 | |
2242 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. | |
2243 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. | |
2244 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2245 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: |
9ebbb54f VG |
2246 | |
2247 | If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. | |
2248 | If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for | |
2249 | specified DTT device. | |
2250 | ||
2ac6985a AD |
2251 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START |
2252 | ||
2253 | defining this will force the i2c_read() function in | |
2254 | the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start | |
2255 | between writing the address pointer and reading the | |
2256 | data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour | |
2257 | of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C | |
2258 | devices can use either method, but some require one or | |
2259 | the other. | |
be5e6181 | 2260 | |

2278 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2279 | Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than |
2280 | using hardware support. This is a general purpose | |
2281 | driver that only requires three general I/O port pins | |
2282 | (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is | |
2283 | defined, the board configuration must define several | |
2284 | SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For | |
2285 | an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. | |
c609719b | 2286 | |
04a9e118 BW |
2287 | CONFIG_HARD_SPI |
2288 | ||
2289 | Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads | |
2290 | and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration | |
2291 | must define a list of chip-select function pointers. | |
c0f40859 | 2292 | Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an |
04a9e118 BW |
2293 | example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. |

c609719b | 2345 | |
43d9616c WD |
2346 | Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert |
2347 | after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II | |
2348 | FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 | |
11ccc33f | 2349 | ms. |
c609719b | 2350 | |
6d0f6bcf | 2351 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY |
c609719b | 2352 | |
43d9616c | 2353 | Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during |
11ccc33f | 2354 | Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. |
c609719b | 2355 | |
6d0f6bcf | 2356 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG |
c609719b | 2357 | |
43d9616c | 2358 | Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is |
11ccc33f | 2359 | 200 ms. |
c609719b WD |
2360 | |
2361 | - Configuration Management: | |
2362 | CONFIG_IDENT_STRING | |
2363 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2364 | If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot |
2365 | version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) | |
c609719b WD |
2366 | |
2367 | - Vendor Parameter Protection: | |
2368 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2369 | U-Boot considers the values of the environment |
2370 | variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and | |
7152b1d0 | 2371 | "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that |
43d9616c WD |
2372 | are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and |
2373 | protects these variables from casual modification by | |
2374 | the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, | |
2375 | and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can | |
11ccc33f | 2376 | change this behaviour: |
c609719b WD |
2377 | |
2378 | If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config | |
2379 | file, the write protection for vendor parameters is | |
47cd00fa | 2380 | completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete |
c609719b WD |
2381 | these parameters. |
2382 | ||
2383 | Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR | |
2384 | _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default | |
11ccc33f | 2385 | Ethernet address is installed in the environment, |
c609719b WD |
2386 | which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The |
2387 | serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains | |
2388 | read-only.] | |
2389 | ||
2598090b JH |
2390 | The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way |
2391 | for any variable by configuring the type of access | |
2392 | to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable | |
2393 | or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. | |
2394 | ||
c609719b WD |
2395 | - Protected RAM: |
2396 | CONFIG_PRAM | |
2397 | ||
2398 | Define this variable to enable the reservation of | |
2399 | "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten | |
2400 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of | |
2401 | kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite | |
2402 | this default value by defining an environment | |
2403 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to | |
2404 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will | |
2405 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is | |
2406 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will | |
2407 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of | |
2408 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot | |
2409 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: | |
2410 | ||
fe126d8b | 2411 | setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} |
c609719b WD |
2412 | saveenv |
2413 | ||
2414 | This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, | |
2415 | either, which results in a memory region that will | |
2416 | not be affected by reboots. | |
2417 | ||
2418 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic | |
2419 | detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that | |
2420 | this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the | |
2421 | following board configurations are known to be | |
2422 | "pRAM-clean": | |
2423 | ||
1b0757ec WD |
2424 | IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, |
2425 | HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, | |
544d97e9 | 2426 | FLAGADM, TQM8260 |
c609719b | 2427 | |
40fef049 GB |
2428 | - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) |
2429 | Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not | |
2430 | normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures | |
2431 | support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit | |
2432 | machines using physical address extension or similar. | |
2433 | Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which | |
2434 | currently only supports clearing the memory. | |
2435 | ||
c609719b WD |
2436 | - Error Recovery: |
2437 | CONFIG_PANIC_HANG | |
2438 | ||
2439 | Define this variable to stop the system in case of a | |
2440 | fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. | |
2441 | This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded | |
11ccc33f | 2442 | system where you want the system to reboot |
c609719b WD |
2443 | automatically as fast as possible, but it may be |
2444 | useful during development since you can try to debug | |
2445 | the conditions that lead to the situation. | |
2446 | ||
2447 | CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT | |
2448 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2449 | This variable defines the number of retries for |
2450 | network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP | |
2451 | before giving up the operation. If not defined, a | |
2452 | default value of 5 is used. | |
c609719b | 2453 | |
40cb90ee GL |
2454 | CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT |
2455 | ||
2456 | Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. | |
2457 | ||
48a3e999 TK |
2458 | CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT |
2459 | ||
2460 | Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. | |
2461 | If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, | |
2462 | try longer timeout such as | |
2463 | #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL | |
2464 | ||
c609719b | 2465 | - Command Interpreter: |
8078f1a5 | 2466 | CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE |
04a85b3b WD |
2467 | |
2468 | Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. | |
2469 | ||
a9398e01 WD |
2470 | Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet |
2471 | for the "hush" shell. | |
8078f1a5 WD |
2472 | |
2473 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2474 | CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER |
c609719b WD |
2475 | |
2476 | Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from | |
2477 | Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling | |
2478 | powerful command line syntax like | |
2479 | if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' | |
2480 | constructs ("shell scripts"). | |
2481 | ||
2482 | If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour | |
2483 | with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. | |
2484 | ||
2485 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2486 | CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 |
c609719b WD |
2487 | |
2488 | This defines the secondary prompt string, which is | |
2489 | printed when the command interpreter needs more input | |
2490 | to complete a command. Usually "> ". | |
2491 | ||
2492 | Note: | |
2493 | ||
8bde7f77 WD |
2494 | In the current implementation, the local variables |
2495 | space and global environment variables space are | |
2496 | separated. Local variables are those you define by | |
2497 | simply typing `name=value'. To access a local | |
2498 | variable later on, you have write `$name' or | |
2499 | `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable | |
2500 | directly type `$name' at the command prompt. | |
c609719b | 2501 | |
43d9616c WD |
2502 | Global environment variables are those you use |
2503 | setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored | |
2504 | in such a variable, you need to use the run command, | |
2505 | and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. | |
c609719b WD |
2506 | |
2507 | To store commands and special characters in a | |
2508 | variable, please use double quotation marks | |
2509 | surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead | |
2510 | of the backslashes before semicolons and special | |
2511 | symbols. | |
2512 | ||
aa0c71ac WD |
2513 | - Commandline Editing and History: |
2514 | CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING | |
2515 | ||
11ccc33f | 2516 | Enable editing and History functions for interactive |
b9365a26 | 2517 | commandline input operations |
aa0c71ac | 2518 | |
a8c7c708 | 2519 | - Default Environment: |
c609719b WD |
2520 | CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS |
2521 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2522 | Define this to contain any number of null terminated |
2523 | strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of | |
7152b1d0 | 2524 | the default environment compiled into the boot image. |
2262cfee | 2525 | |
43d9616c WD |
2526 | For example, place something like this in your |
2527 | board's config file: | |
c609719b WD |
2528 | |
2529 | #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ | |
2530 | "myvar1=value1\0" \ | |
2531 | "myvar2=value2\0" | |
2532 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2533 | Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the |
2534 | internal format how the environment is stored by the | |
2535 | U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported | |
2536 | interface! Although it is unlikely that this format | |
7152b1d0 | 2537 | will change soon, there is no guarantee either. |
c609719b WD |
2538 | You better know what you are doing here. |
2539 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2540 | Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is |
2541 | discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset | |
74de7aef | 2542 | the environment like the "source" command or the |
43d9616c | 2543 | boot command first. |
c609719b | 2544 | |
5e724ca2 SW |
2545 | CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG |
2546 | ||
2547 | Define this in order to add variables describing the | |
2548 | U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. | |
2549 | These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. | |
2550 | ||
2551 | Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: | |
2552 | ||
2553 | - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH | |
2554 | - CONFIG_SYS_CPU | |
2555 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD | |
2556 | - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR | |
2557 | - CONFIG_SYS_SOC | |
2558 | ||
7e27f89f TR |
2559 | CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG |
2560 | ||
2561 | Define this in order to add variables describing certain | |
2562 | run-time determined information about the hardware to the | |
2563 | environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. | |
2564 | ||
06fd8538 SG |
2565 | CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT |
2566 | ||
2567 | Normally the environment is loaded when the board is | |
2568 | intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits | |
2569 | that so that the environment is not available until | |
2570 | explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL | |
2571 | this is instead controlled by the value of | |
2572 | /config/load-environment. | |
2573 | ||
a8c7c708 | 2574 | - DataFlash Support: |
2abbe075 WD |
2575 | CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH |
2576 | ||
8bde7f77 WD |
2577 | Defining this option enables DataFlash features and |
2578 | allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard | |
2579 | commands cp, md... | |
2abbe075 | 2580 | |
f61ec45e EN |
2581 | - Serial Flash support |
2582 | CONFIG_CMD_SF | |
2583 | ||
2584 | Defining this option enables SPI flash commands | |
2585 | 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. | |
2586 | ||
2587 | Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial | |
2588 | flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update | |
2589 | commands. | |
2590 | ||
2591 | The following defaults may be provided by the platform | |
2592 | to handle the common case when only a single serial | |
2593 | flash is present on the system. | |
2594 | ||
2595 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier | |
2596 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select | |
2597 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) | |
2598 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz | |
2599 | ||
24007273 SG |
2600 | CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST |
2601 | ||
2602 | Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash | |
2603 | test ('sf test'). | |
2604 | ||
1dcd6d03 JT |
2605 | CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg |
2606 | ||
2607 | Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr | |
2608 | support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. | |
2609 | ||
3f85ce27 WD |
2610 | - SystemACE Support: |
2611 | CONFIG_SYSTEMACE | |
2612 | ||
2613 | Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE | |
2614 | chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address | |
11ccc33f | 2615 | of the chip must also be defined in the |
6d0f6bcf | 2616 | CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: |
3f85ce27 WD |
2617 | |
2618 | #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE | |
6d0f6bcf | 2619 | #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 |
3f85ce27 WD |
2620 | |
2621 | When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type | |
2622 | becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. | |
2623 | ||
ecb0ccd9 WD |
2624 | - TFTP Fixed UDP Port: |
2625 | CONFIG_TFTP_PORT | |
2626 | ||
28cb9375 | 2627 | If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp |
ecb0ccd9 | 2628 | is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. |
28cb9375 | 2629 | If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
2630 | number generator is used. |
2631 | ||
28cb9375 WD |
2632 | Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply |
2633 | the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't | |
2634 | defined, the normal port 69 is used. | |
2635 | ||
2636 | The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to | |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
2637 | blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured |
2638 | target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of | |
2639 | "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing | |
2640 | the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. | |
2641 | A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, | |
2642 | but sometimes that is not allowed. | |
2643 | ||
bf36c5d5 SG |
2644 | - Hashing support: |
2645 | CONFIG_CMD_HASH | |
2646 | ||
2647 | This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce | |
2648 | hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). | |
2649 | ||
2650 | CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY | |
2651 | ||
2652 | Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code | |
2653 | size a little. | |
2654 | ||
2655 | CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing | |
2656 | CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing | |
2657 | ||
2658 | Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps | |
2659 | be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. | |
2660 | ||
a11f1873 RW |
2661 | - Freescale i.MX specific commands: |
2662 | CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT | |
2663 | This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an | |
2664 | HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. | |
2665 | ||
2666 | CONFIG_CMD_BMODE | |
2667 | This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing | |
2668 | a boot from specific media. | |
2669 | ||
2670 | This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to | |
2671 | activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating | |
2672 | on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal | |
2673 | will set it back to normal. This command currently | |
2674 | supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. | |
2675 | ||
19c402af SG |
2676 | - Signing support: |
2677 | CONFIG_RSA | |
2678 | ||
2679 | This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification | |
2680 | in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information. | |
2681 | ||
2682 | The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this | |
2683 | option. | |
2684 | ||
2685 | ||
a8c7c708 | 2686 | - Show boot progress: |
c609719b WD |
2687 | CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS |
2688 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2689 | Defining this option allows to add some board- |
2690 | specific code (calling a user-provided function | |
2691 | "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show | |
2692 | the system's boot progress on some display (for | |
2693 | example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, | |
2694 | the following checkpoints are implemented: | |
c609719b | 2695 | |
3a608ca0 SG |
2696 | - Detailed boot stage timing |
2697 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE | |
2698 | Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage | |
2699 | of the boot process. | |
2700 | ||
2701 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT | |
2702 | This is the number of available user bootstage records. | |
2703 | Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) | |
2704 | a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed | |
2705 | the limit, recording will stop. | |
2706 | ||
2707 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT | |
2708 | Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: | |
2709 | ||
2710 | Timer summary in microseconds: | |
2711 | Mark Elapsed Stage | |
2712 | 0 0 reset | |
2713 | 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start | |
2714 | 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 | |
2715 | 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done | |
2716 | 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start | |
2717 | 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop | |
2718 | 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start | |
2719 | 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel | |
2720 | ||
2eba38cf SG |
2721 | CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE |
2722 | Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report | |
2723 | and un/stashing of bootstage data. | |
2724 | ||
94fd1316 SG |
2725 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT |
2726 | Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' | |
2727 | node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child | |
2728 | has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the | |
2729 | mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the | |
2730 | accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. | |
2731 | For example: | |
2732 | ||
2733 | bootstage { | |
2734 | 154 { | |
2735 | name = "board_init_f"; | |
2736 | mark = <3575678>; | |
2737 | }; | |
2738 | 170 { | |
2739 | name = "lcd"; | |
2740 | accum = <33482>; | |
2741 | }; | |
2742 | }; | |
2743 | ||
2744 | Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. | |

3138 | CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST | |
3139 | Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the | |
3140 | data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. | |
3141 | ||
3142 | CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND | |
3143 | Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the | |

3161 | CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT |
3162 | Support for the environment operating in SPL binary | |
3163 | ||
3164 | CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT | |
3165 | Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. | |
3166 | It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by | |
3167 | CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE | |
3168 | ||
74752baa | 3169 | CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO |
6113d3f2 BT |
3170 | Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending |
3171 | the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as | |
3172 | CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. | |
3173 | CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL | |
3174 | payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. | |
74752baa | 3175 | |
ca2fca22 SW |
3176 | CONFIG_SPL_TARGET |
3177 | Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs | |
3178 | use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for | |
3179 | example if more than one image needs to be produced. | |
3180 | ||
87ebee39 SG |
3181 | CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT |
3182 | Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of | |
3183 | code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this | |
3184 | option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the | |
3185 | bootm command when booting a FIT image. | |
3186 | ||

3198 | Modem Support: |
3199 | -------------- | |
3200 | ||
566e5cf4 | 3201 | [so far only for SMDK2400 boards] |
c609719b | 3202 | |
11ccc33f | 3203 | - Modem support enable: |
c609719b WD |
3204 | CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT |
3205 | ||
3206 | - RTS/CTS Flow control enable: | |
3207 | CONFIG_HWFLOW | |
3208 | ||
3209 | - Modem debug support: | |
3210 | CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG | |
3211 | ||
43d9616c WD |
3212 | Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) |
3213 | for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. | |
c609719b | 3214 | |
a8c7c708 WD |
3215 | - Interrupt support (PPC): |
3216 | ||
d4ca31c4 WD |
3217 | There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() |
3218 | for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() | |
11ccc33f | 3219 | for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() |
d4ca31c4 | 3220 | should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If |
11ccc33f | 3221 | CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt |
d4ca31c4 | 3222 | (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. |
11ccc33f | 3223 | timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU |
d4ca31c4 WD |
3224 | specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led |
3225 | / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from | |
3226 | general timer_interrupt(). | |
a8c7c708 | 3227 | |
c609719b WD |
3228 | - General: |
3229 | ||
43d9616c WD |
3230 | In the target system modem support is enabled when a |
3231 | specific key (key combination) is pressed during | |
3232 | power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally | |
11ccc33f | 3233 | (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from |
43d9616c WD |
3234 | board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy |
3235 | function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem | |
3236 | initialization. | |
c609719b | 3237 | |
43d9616c WD |
3238 | If there are no modem init strings in the |
3239 | environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the | |
3240 | previous output (banner, info printfs) will be | |
11ccc33f | 3241 | suppressed, though. |

3245 | Board initialization settings: |
3246 | ------------------------------ | |
3247 | ||
3248 | During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions | |
3249 | to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup | |
3250 | before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the | |
3251 | following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is | |
3252 | architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c | |
3253 | typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). | |
3254 | ||
3255 | - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() | |
3256 | - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() | |
3257 | - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() | |
3258 | - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() | |

3260 | Configuration Settings: |
3261 | ----------------------- | |
3262 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3263 | - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; |
c609719b WD |
3264 | undefine this when you're short of memory. |
3265 | ||
2fb2604d PT |
3266 | - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default |
3267 | width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. | |
3268 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3269 | - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to |
c609719b WD |
3270 | prompt for user input. |
3271 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3272 | - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console |
c609719b | 3273 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3274 | - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output |
c609719b | 3275 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3276 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands |
c609719b | 3277 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3278 | - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to |
c609719b WD |
3279 | the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is |
3280 | booted | |
3281 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3282 | - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: |
c609719b WD |
3283 | List of legal baudrate settings for this board. |
3284 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3285 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET |
8bde7f77 | 3286 | Suppress display of console information at boot. |
c609719b | 3287 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3288 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV |
8bde7f77 WD |
3289 | If the board specific function |
3290 | extern int overwrite_console (void); | |
3291 | returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the | |
c609719b WD |
3292 | serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. |
3293 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3294 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE |
8bde7f77 | 3295 | Enable the call to overwrite_console(). |
c609719b | 3296 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3297 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE |
c609719b WD |
3298 | Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. |
3299 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3300 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: |
c609719b WD |
3301 | Begin and End addresses of the area used by the |
3302 | simple memory test. | |
3303 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3304 | - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: |
8bde7f77 | 3305 | Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. |
c609719b | 3306 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3307 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: |
5f535fe1 WD |
3308 | Scratch address used by the alternate memory test |
3309 | You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable | |
3310 | ||
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
3311 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): |
3312 | If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, | |
14f73ca6 | 3313 | this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top |
11ccc33f | 3314 | (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By |
14f73ca6 SR |
3315 | fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed |
3316 | the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. | |
3317 | This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux | |
5e12e75d | 3318 | board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that |
14f73ca6 | 3319 | recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup |
5e12e75d | 3320 | will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. |
14f73ca6 SR |
3321 | |
3322 | This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx | |
3323 | CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't | |
3324 | be touched. | |
3325 | ||
3326 | WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of | |
3327 | the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, | |
3328 | then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a | |
3329 | non page size aligned address and this could cause major | |
3330 | problems. | |
3331 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3332 | - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: |
c609719b WD |
3333 | Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download |
3334 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3335 | - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3336 | Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. |
3337 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3338 | - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3339 | Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a |
3340 | Cogent motherboard) | |
3341 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3342 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3343 | Physical start address of Flash memory. |
3344 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3345 | - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3346 | Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by |
3347 | make config files to be same as the text base address | |
14d0a02a | 3348 | (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as |
6d0f6bcf | 3349 | CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. |
c609719b | 3350 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3351 | - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: |
8bde7f77 WD |
3352 | Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to |
3353 | determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is | |
3354 | embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate | |
3355 | flash sector. | |
c609719b | 3356 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3357 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: |
c609719b WD |
3358 | Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. |
3359 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3360 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: |
15940c9a SR |
3361 | Normally compressed uImages are limited to an |
3362 | uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, | |
6d0f6bcf | 3363 | you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file |
15940c9a SR |
3364 | to adjust this setting to your needs. |
3365 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3366 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: |
c609719b WD |
3367 | Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of |
3368 | the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by | |
7d721e34 BS |
3369 | the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if |
3370 | used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" | |
1bce2aeb | 3371 | environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case |
7d721e34 | 3372 | all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" |
c0f40859 | 3373 | and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment |
c3624e6e GL |
3374 | variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of |
3375 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, | |
3376 | then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. | |
c609719b | 3377 | |
fca43cc8 JR |
3378 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: |
3379 | Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the | |
3380 | initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand | |
3381 | is enabled. | |
3382 | ||
3383 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: | |
3384 | Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between | |
3385 | "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
3386 | ||
3387 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: | |
3388 | Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in | |
3389 | space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
3390 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3391 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: |
c609719b WD |
3392 | Max number of Flash memory banks |
3393 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3394 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: |
c609719b WD |
3395 | Max number of sectors on a Flash chip |
3396 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3397 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: |
c609719b WD |
3398 | Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) |
3399 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3400 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: |
c609719b WD |
3401 | Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) |
3402 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3403 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT |
8564acf9 WD |
3404 | Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) |
3405 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3406 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT |
8564acf9 WD |
3407 | Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) |
3408 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3409 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION |
8564acf9 WD |
3410 | If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used |
3411 | instead of U-Boot software protection. | |
3412 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3413 | - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: |
c609719b WD |
3414 | |
3415 | Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; | |
3416 | without this option such a download has to be | |
3417 | performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) | |
3418 | copy from RAM to flash. | |
3419 | ||
3420 | The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since | |
3421 | you can check if the download worked before you erase | |
11ccc33f MZ |
3422 | the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is |
3423 | too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the | |
c609719b WD |
3424 | downloaded image) this option may be very useful. |
3425 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3426 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: |
43d9616c | 3427 | Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the |
5653fc33 WD |
3428 | common flash structure for storing flash geometry. |
3429 | ||
00b1883a | 3430 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER |
5653fc33 WD |
3431 | This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver |
3432 | in the drivers directory | |
c609719b | 3433 | |
91809ed5 PZ |
3434 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD |
3435 | This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver | |
3436 | in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash | |
3437 | to the MTD layer. | |
3438 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3439 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE |
96ef831f GL |
3440 | Use buffered writes to flash. |
3441 | ||
3442 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N | |
3443 | s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered | |
3444 | write commands. | |
3445 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3446 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST |
5568e613 SR |
3447 | If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't |
3448 | print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This | |
3449 | is useful, if some of the configured banks are only | |
3450 | optionally available. | |
3451 | ||
9a042e9c JVB |
3452 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS |
3453 | If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown | |
3454 | digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 | |
3455 | column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. | |
3456 | ||
352ef3f1 SR |
3457 | - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY |
3458 | If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared | |
3459 | against the source after the write operation. An error message | |
3460 | will be printed when the contents are not identical. | |
3461 | Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, | |
3462 | since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier | |
3463 | while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable | |
3464 | this option if you really know what you are doing. | |
3465 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3466 | - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: |
11ccc33f MZ |
3467 | Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some |
3468 | Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value | |
53cf9435 SR |
3469 | to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all |
3470 | buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface | |
11ccc33f | 3471 | on high Ethernet traffic. |
53cf9435 SR |
3472 | Defaults to 4 if not defined. |
3473 | ||
ea882baf WD |
3474 | - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES |
3475 | ||
071bc923 WD |
3476 | Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used |
3477 | internally to store the environment settings. The default | |
3478 | setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most | |
3479 | cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see | |
3480 | lib/hashtable.c for details. | |
ea882baf | 3481 | |

3482 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT |
3483 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
1bce2aeb | 3484 | Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when |
2598090b JH |
3485 | calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, |
3486 | hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, | |
3487 | the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. | |
3488 | ||
3489 | The format of the list is: | |
3490 | type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] | |
267541f7 JH |
3491 | access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] |
3492 | attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] | |
2598090b JH |
3493 | entry = variable_name[:attributes] |
3494 | list = entry[,list] | |
3495 | ||
3496 | The type attributes are: | |
3497 | s - String (default) | |
3498 | d - Decimal | |
3499 | x - Hexadecimal | |
3500 | b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) | |
3501 | i - IP address | |
3502 | m - MAC address | |
3503 | ||
267541f7 JH |
3504 | The access attributes are: |
3505 | a - Any (default) | |
3506 | r - Read-only | |
3507 | o - Write-once | |
3508 | c - Change-default | |
3509 | ||
2598090b JH |
3510 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT |
3511 | Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" | |
3512 | envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. | |
3513 | ||
3514 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
3515 | Define this to a list (string) to define validation that | |
3516 | should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" | |
3517 | environment variable. To override a setting in the static | |
3518 | list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the | |
3519 | ".flags" variable. | |
3520 | ||
267541f7 JH |
3521 | - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE |
3522 | If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable | |
3523 | access flags. | |
3524 | ||
5c1a7ea6 SG |
3525 | - CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD |
3526 | This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the | |
3527 | architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards | |
3528 | to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the | |
3529 | arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and | |
3530 | common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture | |
3531 | must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in | |
3532 | its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on | |
3533 | your board please report the problem and send patches! | |
3534 | ||
632efa74 SG |
3535 | - CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS |
3536 | This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols | |
3537 | instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an | |
3538 | offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than | |
3539 | directly. You should not need to touch this setting. | |
3540 | ||
0b1b60c7 LV |
3541 | - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) |
3542 | This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should | |
3543 | be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how | |
3544 | the value can be calulated on a given board. | |
632efa74 | 3545 | |
c609719b WD |
3546 | The following definitions that deal with the placement and management |
3547 | of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the | |
3548 | following configurations: | |
3549 | ||
c3eb3fe4 MF |
3550 | - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: |
3551 | ||
3552 | Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils | |
3553 | may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. | |
3554 | ||
5a1aceb0 | 3555 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: |
c609719b WD |
3556 | |
3557 | Define this if the environment is in flash memory. | |
3558 | ||
3559 | a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is | |
3560 | "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This | |
3561 | happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot | |
3562 | sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller | |
3563 | sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a | |
3564 | layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In | |
3565 | such a case you would place the environment in one of the | |
3566 | 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With | |
3567 | "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the | |
3568 | environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap | |
3569 | between U-Boot and the environment. | |
3570 | ||
0e8d1586 | 3571 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
c609719b WD |
3572 | |
3573 | Offset of environment data (variable area) to the | |
3574 | beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot | |
3575 | type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset | |
3576 | for this sector is given here. | |
3577 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3578 | CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. |
c609719b | 3579 | |
0e8d1586 | 3580 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: |
c609719b WD |
3581 | |
3582 | This is just another way to specify the start address of | |
3583 | the flash sector containing the environment (instead of | |
0e8d1586 | 3584 | CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). |
c609719b | 3585 | |
0e8d1586 | 3586 | - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
3587 | |
3588 | Size of the sector containing the environment. | |
3589 | ||
3590 | ||
3591 | b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. | |
3592 | In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for | |
3593 | the environment. | |
3594 | ||
0e8d1586 | 3595 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: |
c609719b | 3596 | |
5a1aceb0 | 3597 | If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH |
0e8d1586 | 3598 | and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part |
c609719b WD |
3599 | of this flash sector for the environment. This saves |
3600 | memory for the RAM copy of the environment. | |
3601 | ||
3602 | It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this | |
3603 | when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, | |
3604 | since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used | |
3605 | for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is | |
3606 | STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: | |
3607 | updating the environment in flash makes it always | |
3608 | necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes | |
3609 | wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in | |
3610 | RAM, your target system will be dead. | |
3611 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3612 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND |
3613 | CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND | |
c609719b | 3614 | |
43d9616c | 3615 | These settings describe a second storage area used to hold |
11ccc33f | 3616 | a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is |
3e38691e | 3617 | a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during |
43d9616c | 3618 | a "saveenv" operation. |
c609719b WD |
3619 | |
3620 | BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the | |
3621 | source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* | |
3622 | accordingly! | |
3623 | ||
3624 | ||
9314cee6 | 3625 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: |
c609719b WD |
3626 | |
3627 | Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device | |
3628 | (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the | |
3629 | environment. | |
3630 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3631 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: |
3632 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
c609719b | 3633 | |
11ccc33f | 3634 | These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you |
c609719b WD |
3635 | want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory |
3636 | can just be read and written to, without any special | |
3637 | provision. | |
3638 | ||
3639 | BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early | |
3640 | in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the | |
11ccc33f | 3641 | console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or |
c609719b WD |
3642 | U-Boot will hang. |
3643 | ||
3644 | Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the | |
3645 | environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to | |
3646 | keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" | |
3647 | to save the current settings. | |
3648 | ||
3649 | ||
bb1f8b4f | 3650 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: |
c609719b WD |
3651 | |
3652 | Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access | |
3653 | device and a driver for it. | |
3654 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3655 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
3656 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
c609719b WD |
3657 | |
3658 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the | |
3659 | environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. | |
3660 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3661 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: |
c609719b WD |
3662 | If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. |
3663 | The default address is zero. | |
3664 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3665 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: |
c609719b WD |
3666 | If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a |
3667 | single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example | |
3668 | would require six bits. | |
3669 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3670 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: |
c609719b | 3671 | If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between |
ba56f625 | 3672 | page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. |
c609719b | 3673 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3674 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: |
c609719b WD |
3675 | The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note |
3676 | that this is NOT the chip address length! | |
3677 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3678 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: |
5cf91d6b WD |
3679 | EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones |
3680 | like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of | |
3681 | address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit | |
3682 | slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 | |
3683 | byte chips. | |
3684 | ||
3685 | Note that we consider the length of the address field to | |
3686 | still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden | |
3687 | in the chip address. | |
3688 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3689 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
3690 | The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. |
3691 | ||
548738b4 HS |
3692 | - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C |
3693 | define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your | |
3694 | EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. | |
3695 | ||
3696 | - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS | |
3697 | if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over | |
3698 | I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this | |
3699 | EEPROM. For example: | |
3700 | ||
ea818dbb | 3701 | #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 |
548738b4 HS |
3702 | |
3703 | EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over | |
3704 | a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. | |
c609719b | 3705 | |
057c849c | 3706 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: |
5779d8d9 | 3707 | |
d4ca31c4 | 3708 | Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you |
5779d8d9 WD |
3709 | want to use for the environment. |
3710 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3711 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
3712 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: | |
3713 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
5779d8d9 WD |
3714 | |
3715 | These three #defines specify the offset and size of the | |
3716 | environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed | |
3717 | at the specified address. | |
3718 | ||
0a85a9e7 LG |
3719 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: |
3720 | ||
3721 | Define this if you have a remote memory space which you | |
3722 | want to use for the local device's environment. | |
3723 | ||
3724 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: | |
3725 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
3726 | ||
3727 | These two #defines specify the address and size of the | |
3728 | environment area within the remote memory space. The | |
3729 | local device can get the environment from remote memory | |
fc54c7fa | 3730 | space by SRIO or PCIE links. |
0a85a9e7 LG |
3731 | |
3732 | BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use | |
3733 | "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the | |
fc54c7fa LG |
3734 | environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, |
3735 | but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. | |
0a85a9e7 | 3736 | |
51bfee19 | 3737 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: |
13a5695b WD |
3738 | |
3739 | Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use | |
3740 | for the environment. | |
3741 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3742 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
3743 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
13a5695b WD |
3744 | |
3745 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment | |
fdd813de SW |
3746 | area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be |
3747 | aligned to an erase block boundary. | |
5779d8d9 | 3748 | |
fdd813de | 3749 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): |
e443c944 | 3750 | |
0e8d1586 | 3751 | This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE |
fdd813de SW |
3752 | size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so |
3753 | that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure | |
c0f40859 | 3754 | during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be |
fdd813de SW |
3755 | aligned to an erase block boundary. |
3756 | ||
3757 | - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): | |
3758 | ||
3759 | Specifies the length of the region in which the environment | |
3760 | can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's | |
3761 | block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than | |
3762 | are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within | |
3763 | the range to be avoided. | |
3764 | ||
3765 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): | |
3766 | ||
3767 | Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the | |
3768 | environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The | |
3769 | "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. | |
3770 | Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when | |
3771 | using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. | |
e443c944 | 3772 | |
b74ab737 GL |
3773 | - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST |
3774 | ||
3775 | Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the | |
3776 | environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to | |
3777 | CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. | |
3778 | ||
2b74433f JH |
3779 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: |
3780 | ||
3781 | Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the | |
3782 | environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment | |
3783 | accesses, which is important on NAND. | |
3784 | ||
3785 | - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: | |
3786 | ||
3787 | Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. | |
3788 | ||
3789 | - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: | |
3790 | ||
3791 | Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the | |
3792 | environment in. | |
3793 | ||
785881f7 JH |
3794 | - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: |
3795 | ||
3796 | Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of | |
3797 | the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. | |
3798 | It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. | |
3799 | ||
2b74433f JH |
3800 | - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG |
3801 | - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG | |
3802 | ||
3803 | You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system | |
3804 | when storing the env in UBI. | |
3805 | ||
06e4ae5f SW |
3806 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: |
3807 | ||
3808 | Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the | |
3809 | environment. | |
3810 | ||
3811 | - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: | |
3812 | ||
3813 | Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. | |
3814 | ||
3815 | - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): | |
3816 | ||
3817 | Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not | |
3818 | set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be | |
3819 | 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). | |
3820 | ||
3821 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: | |
3822 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
3823 | ||
3824 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment | |
3825 | area within the specified MMC device. | |
3826 | ||
5c088ee8 SW |
3827 | If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to |
3828 | the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated | |
3829 | as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if | |
3830 | your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have | |
3831 | different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the | |
3832 | environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the | |
3833 | maximum possible space before it, to store other data. | |
3834 | ||
06e4ae5f SW |
3835 | These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an |
3836 | MMC sector boundary. | |
3837 | ||
3838 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): | |
3839 | ||
3840 | Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to | |
3841 | hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a | |
3842 | valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due | |
3843 | to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. | |
3844 | ||
5c088ee8 SW |
3845 | This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the |
3846 | same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. | |
3847 | ||
06e4ae5f SW |
3848 | This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to |
3849 | an MMC sector boundary. | |
3850 | ||
3851 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): | |
3852 | ||
3853 | This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is | |
3854 | set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as | |
3855 | CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. | |
3856 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3857 | - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET |
c609719b WD |
3858 | |
3859 | Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The | |
3860 | area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment | |
3861 | is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte | |
3862 | scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization | |
3863 | calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems | |
3864 | to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the | |
3865 | start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. | |
3866 | ||
e881cb56 | 3867 | Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor |
c609719b | 3868 | has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been |
cdb74977 | 3869 | created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() |
c609719b WD |
3870 | until then to read environment variables. |
3871 | ||
85ec0bcc WD |
3872 | The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor |
3873 | is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working | |
3874 | with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is | |
3875 | necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the | |
3876 | "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't | |
3877 | have any device yet where we could complain.] | |
c609719b WD |
3878 | |
3879 | Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if | |
3880 | the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you | |
85ec0bcc | 3881 | use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. |
c609719b | 3882 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3883 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: |

fc3e2165 | 3885 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3886 | Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR |
fc3e2165 WD |
3887 | also needs to be defined. |
3888 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3889 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: |
42d1f039 | 3890 | MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. |

3892 | - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: |
3893 | Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init | |
3894 | and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at | |
3895 | drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving | |
3896 | space for already greatly restricted images, including but not | |
3897 | limited to NAND_SPL configurations. | |
3898 | ||
b2b92f53 SG |
3899 | - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO |
3900 | Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on | |
3901 | when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called | |
3902 | to do this. | |
3903 | ||
e2e3e2b1 SG |

6d0f6bcf | 3912 | - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
3913 | Cache Line Size of the CPU. |
3914 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3915 | - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: |
c609719b | 3916 | Default address of the IMMR after system reset. |
2535d602 | 3917 | |
42d1f039 WD |
3918 | Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, |
3919 | and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of | |
3920 | the IMMR register after a reset. | |

3922 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: |
3923 | Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale | |
3924 | PowerPC SOCs. | |
3925 | ||
3926 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: | |
3927 | Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically | |
3928 | the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. | |
3929 | ||
3930 | CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, | |
3931 | for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. | |
3932 | ||
3933 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: | |
3934 | Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new | |
3935 | physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should | |
c0f40859 | 3936 | be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the |
e46fedfe TT |
3937 | same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR |
3938 | is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended | |
3939 | that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: | |
3940 | ||
3941 | #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH | |
3942 | * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) | |
3943 | ||
3944 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: | |
4cf2609b WD |
3945 | Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically |
3946 | either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is | |
e46fedfe TT |
3947 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or |
3948 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
3949 | ||
3950 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: | |
3951 | Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is | |
3952 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or | |
3953 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
3954 | ||
3955 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: | |
3956 | If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be | |
3957 | forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. | |
3958 | ||
7f6c2cbc | 3959 | - Floppy Disk Support: |
6d0f6bcf | 3960 | CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER |

3963 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3964 | CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE |
7f6c2cbc | 3965 | |
11ccc33f | 3966 | defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers |
7f6c2cbc WD |
3967 | (default value 1) |
3968 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3969 | CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET |
7f6c2cbc | 3970 | |
43d9616c WD |
3971 | defines the offset of register from address. It |
3972 | depends on which part of the data bus is connected to | |
11ccc33f | 3973 | the FDC chipset. (default value 0) |
7f6c2cbc | 3974 | |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
3975 | If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and |
3976 | CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their | |
43d9616c | 3977 | default value. |
7f6c2cbc | 3978 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3979 | if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function |
43d9616c WD |
3980 | fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC |
3981 | setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board | |
3982 | source code. It is used to make hardware dependant | |
3983 | initializations. | |
7f6c2cbc | 3984 | |
0abddf82 ML |
3985 | - CONFIG_IDE_AHB: |
3986 | Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI | |
3987 | interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. | |
3988 | When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to | |
3989 | IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional | |
3990 | registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller | |
3991 | is requierd. | |

7152b1d0 | 3999 | Start address of memory area that can be used for |
c609719b WD |
4000 | initial data and stack; please note that this must be |
4001 | writable memory that is working WITHOUT special | |
4002 | initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which | |
4003 | will become available only after programming the | |
4004 | memory controller and running certain initialization | |
4005 | sequences. | |
4006 | ||
4007 | U-Boot uses the following memory types: | |
4008 | - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) | |
4009 | - MPC824X: data cache | |
4010 | - PPC4xx: data cache | |
4011 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4012 | - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: |
c609719b WD |
4013 | |
4014 | Offset of the initial data structure in the memory | |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
4015 | area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually |
4016 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial | |
c609719b | 4017 | data is located at the end of the available space |
553f0982 | 4018 | (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
4019 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just |
4020 | below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + | |
4021 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. | |
c609719b WD |
4022 | |
4023 | Note: | |
4024 | On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data | |
4025 | cache for initial memory) the address chosen for | |
6d0f6bcf | 4026 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must |
c609719b WD |
4027 | point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between |
4028 | the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. | |

7b466641 | 4218 | |
8aa1a2d1 | 4219 | - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT |
afc1ce82 | 4220 | [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain |
844f07d8 WD |
4221 | low level initializations (like setting up the memory |
4222 | controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not | |
4223 | relocate itself into RAM. | |
4224 | ||
4225 | Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only | |
4226 | exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some | |
4227 | other boot loader or by a debugger which performs | |
4228 | these initializations itself. | |
8aa1a2d1 | 4229 | |
401bb30b | 4230 | - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD |
df81238b ML |
4231 | Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader |
4232 | that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when | |
4233 | compiling a NAND SPL. | |
400558b5 | 4234 | |
3aa29de0 YZ |
4235 | - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD |
4236 | Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader | |
4237 | that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. | |
4238 | It is loaded by the SPL. | |
4239 | ||
5df572f0 YZ |
4240 | - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC |
4241 | Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section | |
4242 | .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the | |
4243 | previous 4k of the .text section. | |
4244 | ||
4213fc29 SG |
4245 | - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM |
4246 | Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses | |
4247 | effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard | |
4248 | U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated | |
4249 | to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since | |
4250 | it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all | |
4251 | addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses | |
4252 | to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). | |
4253 | ||
d8834a13 MW |
4254 | - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY |
4255 | CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET | |
4256 | If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will | |
4257 | be used if available. These functions may be faster under some | |
4258 | conditions but may increase the binary size. | |
4259 | ||
588a13f7 SG |
4260 | - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR |
4261 | If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not | |
4262 | needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. | |
b16f521a | 4263 | |
fc33705e MJ |
4264 | - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK |
4265 | Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). | |
4266 | ||
4267 | NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. | |

4269 | Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: |
4270 | ----------------------------------- | |
4271 | ||
4272 | The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the | |
4273 | loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. | |
4274 | This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros | |
4275 | are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address | |
4276 | within that device. | |
4277 | ||
4278 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR | |
4279 | The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The | |
4280 | meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro | |
4281 | is also specified. | |
4282 | ||
4283 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH | |
4284 | The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format | |
4285 | has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it | |
4286 | might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some | |
4287 | local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. | |
4288 | ||
4289 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR | |
4290 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as | |
4291 | normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the | |
4292 | virtual address in NOR flash. | |
4293 | ||
4294 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND | |
4295 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. | |
4296 | CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. | |
4297 | ||
4298 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC | |
4299 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC | |
4300 | device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. | |
4301 | ||
4302 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH | |
4303 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI | |
4304 | device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. | |
4305 | ||
292dc6c5 LG |
4306 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE |
4307 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) | |
4308 | memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which | |
fc54c7fa LG |
4309 | can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound |
4310 | window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in | |
4311 | master's memory space. | |

4313 | Building the Software: |
4314 | ====================== | |
4315 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4316 | Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments |
4317 | and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support | |
4318 | all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all | |
4319 | (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we | |
4320 | recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) | |
4321 | which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. | |
c609719b | 4322 | |
218ca724 WD |
4323 | If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you |
4324 | have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, | |
4325 | you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. | |
4326 | Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are | |
4327 | necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: | |
c609719b | 4328 | |
218ca724 WD |
4329 | $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- |
4330 | $ export CROSS_COMPILE | |
c609719b | 4331 | |
2f8d396b PT |
4332 | Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in |
4333 | the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain | |
4334 | (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW | |
4335 | toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: | |
4336 | ||
4337 | $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools | |
4338 | ||
4339 | Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can | |
4340 | be executed on computers running Windows. | |
4341 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4342 | U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the |
4343 | sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This | |
c609719b WD |
4344 | is done by typing: |
4345 | ||
4346 | make NAME_config | |
4347 | ||
218ca724 | 4348 | where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- |
4d675ae6 | 4349 | rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. |
db01a2ea | 4350 | |
2729af9d WD |
4351 | Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if |
4352 | additional information is available from the board vendor; for | |
4353 | instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) | |
4354 | or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" | |
11ccc33f | 4355 | when choosing the configuration, i. e. |
2729af9d WD |
4356 | |
4357 | make TQM823L_config | |
4358 | - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support | |
4359 | ||
4360 | make TQM823L_LCD_config | |
4361 | - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD | |
4362 | ||
4363 | etc. | |
4364 | ||
4365 | ||
4366 | Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot | |
4367 | images ready for download to / installation on your system: | |
4368 | ||
4369 | - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image | |
4370 | - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format | |
4371 | - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format | |
4372 | ||
baf31249 MB |
4373 | By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved |
4374 | in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change | |
4375 | this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: | |
4376 | ||
4377 | 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations: | |
4378 | ||
4379 | make O=/tmp/build distclean | |
4380 | make O=/tmp/build NAME_config | |
4381 | make O=/tmp/build all | |
4382 | ||
4383 | 2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: | |
4384 | ||
4385 | export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build | |
4386 | make distclean | |
4387 | make NAME_config | |
4388 | make all | |
4389 | ||
4390 | Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment | |
4391 | variable. | |
4392 | ||
2729af9d WD |
4393 | |
4394 | Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so | |
4395 | for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of | |
4396 | native "make". | |
4397 | ||
4398 | ||
4399 | If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need | |
4400 | to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these | |
4401 | steps: | |
4402 | ||
4403 | 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel | |
4d675ae6 MJ |
4404 | "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. |
4405 | Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. | |
2729af9d WD |
4406 | 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any |
4407 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least | |
4408 | the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". | |
4409 | 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for | |
4410 | your board | |
4411 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new | |
4412 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. | |
4413 | 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. | |
4414 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file | |
4415 | to be installed on your target system. | |
4416 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. | |
4417 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] | |
4418 | ||
4419 | ||
4420 | Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: | |
4421 | ============================================================== | |
4422 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4423 | If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board |
4424 | or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to | |
2729af9d WD |
4425 | provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes |
4426 | the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest | |
218ca724 | 4427 | official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. |
2729af9d | 4428 | |
218ca724 WD |
4429 | But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- |
4430 | cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of | |
2729af9d WD |
4431 | the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, |
4432 | just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot | |
218ca724 WD |
4433 | for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can |
4434 | select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' | |
4435 | environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools | |
4436 | you can type | |
2729af9d WD |
4437 | |
4438 | CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL | |
4439 | ||
4440 | or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type | |
4441 | ||
4442 | CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL | |
4443 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4444 | When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build |
4445 | U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by | |
4446 | setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target | |
4447 | built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and | |
4448 | <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default | |
4449 | location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment | |
4450 | variable. For example: | |
baf31249 MB |
4451 | |
4452 | export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build | |
4453 | export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log | |
4454 | CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL | |
4455 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4456 | With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, |
4457 | log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean | |
4458 | during the whole build process. | |

4519 | ||
4520 | ||
4521 | Environment Variables: | |
4522 | ====================== | |
4523 | ||
4524 | U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which | |
4525 | can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. | |
c609719b | 4526 | |
2729af9d WD |
4527 | Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using |
4528 | "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" | |
4529 | without a value can be used to delete a variable from the | |
4530 | environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are | |
4531 | working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the | |
4532 | environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. | |
c609719b | 4533 | |
c96f86ee WD |
4534 | Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. |
4535 | ||
4536 | List of environment variables (most likely not complete): | |
c609719b | 4537 | |
2729af9d | 4538 | baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE |
c609719b | 4539 | |
2729af9d | 4540 | bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY |
c609719b | 4541 | |
2729af9d | 4542 | bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND |
4a6fd34b | 4543 | |
2729af9d | 4544 | bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image |
c609719b | 4545 | |
2729af9d | 4546 | bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP |
c609719b | 4547 | |
7d721e34 BS |
4548 | bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm |
4549 | command can be restricted. This variable is given as | |
4550 | a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed | |
4551 | for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" | |
4552 | environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is | |
4553 | also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux | |
c3624e6e GL |
4554 | kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and |
4555 | bootm_mapsize. | |
4556 | ||
c0f40859 | 4557 | bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. |
c3624e6e GL |
4558 | This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it |
4559 | defines the size of the memory region starting at base | |
4560 | address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel | |
4561 | during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used | |
4562 | as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is | |
4563 | used otherwise. | |
7d721e34 BS |
4564 | |
4565 | bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm | |
4566 | command can be restricted. This variable is given as | |
4567 | a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region | |
4568 | allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" | |
4569 | environment variable. | |
4570 | ||
4bae9090 BS |
4571 | updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used |
4572 | by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to | |
4573 | documentation in doc/README.update for more details. | |
4574 | ||
2729af9d WD |
4575 | autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), |
4576 | "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the | |
4577 | configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to | |
4578 | load any image using TFTP | |
c609719b | 4579 | |
2729af9d WD |
4580 | autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", |
4581 | "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will | |
4582 | be automatically started (by internally calling | |
4583 | "bootm") | |
38b99261 | 4584 | |
2729af9d WD |
4585 | If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the |
4586 | "bootm" command will be copied to the load address | |
4587 | (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. | |
4588 | This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary | |
4589 | data. | |
c609719b | 4590 | |
a28afca5 DL |
4591 | fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the |
4592 | flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. | |
fa34f6b2 SG |
4593 | For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory |
4594 | at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel | |
4595 | only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you | |
4596 | may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the | |
4597 | device tree blob be copied to the maximum address | |
4598 | of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can | |
4599 | access it during the boot procedure. | |
4600 | ||
a28afca5 DL |
4601 | If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then |
4602 | the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this | |
4603 | to work it must reside in writable memory, have | |
4604 | sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to | |
4605 | add the information it needs into it, and the memory | |
4606 | must be accessible by the kernel. | |
4607 | ||
eea63e05 SG |
4608 | fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened |
4609 | device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is | |
4610 | defined. | |
4611 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
4612 | i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) |
4613 | if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast | |
4614 | mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in | |
4615 | initialization code. So, for changes to be effective | |
4616 | it must be saved and board must be reset. | |
4617 | ||
2729af9d WD |
4618 | initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: |
4619 | If this variable is not set, initrd images will be | |
4620 | copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this | |
4621 | is usually what you want since it allows for | |
4622 | maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to | |
4623 | make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the | |
6d0f6bcf | 4624 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment |
2729af9d WD |
4625 | variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". |
4626 | Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper | |
4627 | address to use (U-Boot will still check that it | |
4628 | does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). | |
c609719b | 4629 | |
2729af9d WD |
4630 | For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB |
4631 | RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, | |
4632 | you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of | |
4633 | the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make | |
4634 | sure that the initrd image is placed in the first | |
4635 | 12 MB as well - this can be done with | |
c609719b | 4636 | |
2729af9d | 4637 | setenv initrd_high 00c00000 |
c609719b | 4638 | |
2729af9d WD |
4639 | If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an |
4640 | indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal | |
4641 | for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash | |
4642 | memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the | |
4643 | ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the | |
4644 | boot time on your system, but requires that this | |
4645 | feature is supported by your Linux kernel. | |
c609719b | 4646 | |
2729af9d | 4647 | ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command |
c609719b | 4648 | |
2729af9d WD |
4649 | loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", |
4650 | "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" | |
c609719b | 4651 | |
2729af9d | 4652 | loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO |
a3d991bd | 4653 | |
2729af9d | 4654 | serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command |
a3d991bd | 4655 | |
2729af9d | 4656 | bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME |
a3d991bd | 4657 | |
2729af9d | 4658 | bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR |
a3d991bd | 4659 | |
2729af9d | 4660 | bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR |
c609719b | 4661 | |
e2a53458 | 4662 | ethprime - controls which interface is used first. |
c609719b | 4663 | |
e2a53458 MF |
4664 | ethact - controls which interface is currently active. |
4665 | For example you can do the following | |
c609719b | 4666 | |
48690d80 HS |
4667 | => setenv ethact FEC |
4668 | => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC | |
4669 | => setenv ethact SCC | |
4670 | => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC | |
c609719b | 4671 | |
e1692577 MF |
4672 | ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all |
4673 | available network interfaces. | |
4674 | It just stays at the currently selected interface. | |
4675 | ||
c96f86ee | 4676 | netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will |
2729af9d WD |
4677 | either succeed or fail without retrying. |
4678 | When set to "once" the network operation will | |
4679 | fail when all the available network interfaces | |
4680 | are tried once without success. | |
4681 | Useful on scripts which control the retry operation | |
4682 | themselves. | |
c609719b | 4683 | |
b4e2f89d | 4684 | npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode |
a1cf027a | 4685 | |
8d51aacd SG |
4686 | silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by |
4687 | changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be | |
4688 | made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If | |
4689 | unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console | |
4690 | is silent. | |
4691 | ||
28cb9375 | 4692 | tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
4693 | UDP source port. |
4694 | ||
28cb9375 WD |
4695 | tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP |
4696 | destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. | |
4697 | ||
c96f86ee WD |
4698 | tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, |
4699 | we use the TFTP server's default block size | |
4700 | ||
4701 | tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- | |
4702 | seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines | |
4703 | when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to | |
4704 | be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. | |
4705 | Lowering this value may make downloads succeed | |
4706 | faster in networks with high packet loss rates or | |
4707 | with unreliable TFTP servers. | |
4708 | ||
4709 | vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over | |
11ccc33f | 4710 | Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q |
2729af9d | 4711 | VLAN tagged frames. |
c609719b | 4712 | |

4713 | The following image location variables contain the location of images |
4714 | used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is | |
4715 | not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment | |
4716 | variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP | |
4717 | server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be | |
4718 | loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR | |
4719 | flash or offset in NAND flash. | |
4720 | ||
4721 | *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some | |
4722 | boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some | |
4723 | boards use these variables for other purposes. | |

4732 | The following environment variables may be used and automatically |
4733 | updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), | |
4734 | depending the information provided by your boot server: | |
c609719b | 4735 | |
2729af9d WD |
4736 | bootfile - see above |
4737 | dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server | |
4738 | dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server | |
4739 | gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use | |
4740 | hostname - Target hostname | |
4741 | ipaddr - see above | |
4742 | netmask - Subnet Mask | |
4743 | rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server | |
4744 | serverip - see above | |
c1551ea8 | 4745 | |
c1551ea8 | 4746 | |
2729af9d | 4747 | There are two special Environment Variables: |
c1551ea8 | 4748 | |
2729af9d WD |
4749 | serial# - contains hardware identification information such |
4750 | as type string and/or serial number | |
4751 | ethaddr - Ethernet address | |
c609719b | 4752 | |
2729af9d WD |
4753 | These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of |
4754 | the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables | |
4755 | once they have been set once. | |
c609719b | 4756 | |
f07771cc | 4757 | |
2729af9d | 4758 | Further special Environment Variables: |
f07771cc | 4759 | |
2729af9d WD |
4760 | ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed |
4761 | with the "version" command. This variable is | |
4762 | readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). | |
f07771cc | 4763 | |
f07771cc | 4764 | |
2729af9d WD |
4765 | Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take |
4766 | only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). | |

f07771cc | 4768 | |
170ab110 JH |
4769 | Callback functions for environment variables: |
4770 | --------------------------------------------- | |
4771 | ||
4772 | For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change | |
4773 | when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to | |
4774 | be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or | |
4775 | deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side | |
4776 | effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. | |
4777 | ||
4778 | The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the | |
4779 | U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. | |
4780 | ||
4781 | These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The | |
4782 | static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC | |
4783 | in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of | |
4784 | associations. The list must be in the following format: | |
4785 | ||
4786 | entry = variable_name[:callback_name] | |
4787 | list = entry[,list] | |
4788 | ||
4789 | If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. | |
4790 | Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. | |
4791 | ||
4792 | Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable | |
4793 | with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will | |
4794 | override any association in the static list. You can define | |
4795 | CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the | |
4796 | ".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. | |

4799 | Command Line Parsing: |
4800 | ===================== | |
f07771cc | 4801 | |
2729af9d WD |
4802 | There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: |
4803 | the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: | |
c609719b | 4804 | |
2729af9d WD |
4805 | Old, simple command line parser: |
4806 | -------------------------------- | |
c609719b | 4807 | |
2729af9d WD |
4808 | - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) |
4809 | - several commands on one line, separated by ';' | |
fe126d8b | 4810 | - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax |
2729af9d WD |
4811 | - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', |
4812 | for example: | |
fe126d8b | 4813 | setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} |
2729af9d WD |
4814 | - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: |
4815 | setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' | |
c609719b | 4816 | |
2729af9d WD |
4817 | Hush shell: |
4818 | ----------- | |
c609719b | 4819 | |
2729af9d WD |
4820 | - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like |
4821 | if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, | |
4822 | until...do...done, ... | |
4823 | - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv | |
4824 | commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax | |
4825 | "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" | |
4826 | command | |
4827 | ||
4828 | General rules: | |
4829 | -------------- | |
c609719b | 4830 | |
2729af9d WD |
4831 | (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" |
4832 | command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and | |
4833 | one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be | |
4834 | executed anyway. | |
c609719b | 4835 | |
2729af9d | 4836 | (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. |
11ccc33f | 4837 | calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing |
2729af9d WD |
4838 | command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining |
4839 | variables are not executed. | |
c609719b | 4840 | |
2729af9d WD |
4841 | Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: |
4842 | ======================================= | |
c609719b | 4843 | |
11ccc33f | 4844 | Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports |
2729af9d WD |
4845 | such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a |
4846 | "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: | |
c609719b | 4847 | |
2729af9d WD |
4848 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding |
4849 | MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), | |
4850 | "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... | |
c609719b | 4851 | |
2729af9d WD |
4852 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance |
4853 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- | |
4854 | ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment | |
4855 | variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: | |
c609719b | 4856 | |
2729af9d WD |
4857 | o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the |
4858 | environment, the SROM's address is used. | |
c609719b | 4859 | |
2729af9d WD |
4860 | o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the |
4861 | environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is | |
4862 | used. | |
c609719b | 4863 | |
2729af9d WD |
4864 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and |
4865 | both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. | |
c609719b | 4866 | |
2729af9d WD |
4867 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the |
4868 | addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a | |
4869 | warning is printed. | |
c609719b | 4870 | |
2729af9d WD |
4871 | o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error |
4872 | is raised. | |
c609719b | 4873 | |
ecee9324 | 4874 | If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses |
c0f40859 | 4875 | will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This |
ecee9324 BW |
4876 | may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. |
4877 | The naming convention is as follows: | |
4878 | "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. | |
c609719b | 4879 | |
2729af9d WD |
4880 | Image Formats: |
4881 | ============== | |
c609719b | 4882 | |
3310c549 MB |
4883 | U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) |
4884 | images in two formats: | |
4885 | ||
4886 | New uImage format (FIT) | |
4887 | ----------------------- | |
4888 | ||
4889 | Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar | |
4890 | to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple | |
4891 | components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by | |
4892 | SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. | |
4893 | ||
4894 | ||
4895 | Old uImage format | |
4896 | ----------------- | |
4897 | ||
4898 | Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, | |
4899 | preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for | |
4900 | details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: | |
c609719b | 4901 | |
2729af9d WD |
4902 | * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, |
4903 | 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, | |
f5ed9e39 PT |
4904 | LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; |
4905 | Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, | |
4906 | INTEGRITY). | |
7b64fef3 | 4907 | * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, |
afc1ce82 ML |
4908 | IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; |
4909 | Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). | |
2729af9d WD |
4910 | * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) |
4911 | * Load Address | |
4912 | * Entry Point | |
4913 | * Image Name | |
4914 | * Image Timestamp | |
c609719b | 4915 | |
2729af9d WD |
4916 | The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header |
4917 | and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by | |
4918 | CRC32 checksums. | |

2729af9d WD |
4921 | Linux Support: |
4922 | ============== | |
c609719b | 4923 | |
2729af9d WD |
4924 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application |
4925 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of | |
4926 | U-Boot. | |
c609719b | 4927 | |
2729af9d WD |
4928 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some |
4929 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any | |
4930 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; | |
4931 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation | |
4932 | serves several purposes: | |
c609719b | 4933 | |
2729af9d WD |
4934 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone |
4935 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the | |
4936 | Flash memory footprint) | |
c609719b | 4937 | |
2729af9d WD |
4938 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because |
4939 | lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot | |
c609719b | 4940 | |
2729af9d WD |
4941 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" |
4942 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can | |
4943 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't | |
4944 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just | |
4945 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the | |
4946 | software is easier now. | |

4949 | Linux HOWTO: |
4950 | ============ | |
c609719b | 4951 | |
2729af9d WD |
4952 | Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: |
4953 | --------------------------------------- | |
c609719b | 4954 | |
2729af9d WD |
4955 | U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to |
4956 | configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware | |
4957 | (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to | |
4958 | Linux :-). | |
c609719b | 4959 | |
a47a12be | 4960 | But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). |
24ee89b9 | 4961 | |
2729af9d WD |
4962 | Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance |
4963 | include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board | |
1dc30693 MH |
4964 | Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, |
4965 | and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value | |
6d0f6bcf | 4966 | as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. |

4969 | Configuring the Linux kernel: |
4970 | ----------------------------- | |
c609719b | 4971 | |
2729af9d WD |
4972 | No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root |
4973 | device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. | |
4974 | ||
4975 | ||
4976 | Building a Linux Image: | |
4977 | ----------------------- | |
c609719b | 4978 | |
2729af9d WD |
4979 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are |
4980 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target | |
4981 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by | |
4982 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, | |
4983 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a | |
4984 | 100% compatible format. | |
4985 | ||
4986 | Example: | |
4987 | ||
4988 | make TQM850L_config | |
4989 | make oldconfig | |
4990 | make dep | |
4991 | make uImage | |
4992 | ||
4993 | The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to | |
4994 | encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, | |
4995 | CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: | |
4996 | ||
4997 | * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): | |
4998 | ||
4999 | * convert the kernel into a raw binary image: | |
5000 | ||
5001 | ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ | |
5002 | -R .note -R .comment \ | |
5003 | -S vmlinux linux.bin | |
5004 | ||
5005 | * compress the binary image: | |
5006 | ||
5007 | gzip -9 linux.bin | |
5008 | ||
5009 | * package compressed binary image for U-Boot: | |
5010 | ||
5011 | mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ | |
5012 | -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ | |
5013 | -d linux.bin.gz uImage | |
c609719b | 5014 | |
c609719b | 5015 | |
2729af9d WD |
5016 | The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use |
5017 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or | |
5018 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 | |
5019 | byte header containing information about target architecture, | |
5020 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time | |
5021 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. | |
5022 | ||
5023 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and | |
5024 | print the header information, or to build new images. | |
5025 | ||
5026 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information | |
5027 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes | |
5028 | checksum verification: | |
c609719b | 5029 | |
2729af9d WD |
5030 | tools/mkimage -l image |
5031 | -l ==> list image header information | |
5032 | ||
5033 | The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image | |
5034 | from a "data file" which is used as image payload: | |
5035 | ||
5036 | tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ | |
5037 | -n name -d data_file image | |
5038 | -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' | |
5039 | -O ==> set operating system to 'os' | |
5040 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' | |
5041 | -C ==> set compression type 'comp' | |
5042 | -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) | |
5043 | -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) | |
5044 | -n ==> set image name to 'name' | |
5045 | -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' | |
5046 | ||
69459791 WD |
5047 | Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load |
5048 | address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the | |
5049 | kernel version: | |
2729af9d WD |
5050 | |
5051 | - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, | |
5052 | - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. | |
5053 | ||
5054 | So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: | |
5055 | ||
5056 | -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ | |
5057 | > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ | |

5076 | ||
5077 | NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade | |
5078 | speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this | |
5079 | needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not | |
5080 | need to be uncompressed: | |

5107 | ||
5108 | ||
5109 | Installing a Linux Image: | |
5110 | ------------------------- | |
5111 | ||
5112 | To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, | |
5113 | you must convert the image to S-Record format: | |
5114 | ||
5115 | objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec | |
5116 | ||
5117 | The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot | |
5118 | image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to | |
5119 | address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to | |
5120 | specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' | |
5121 | command. | |
5122 | ||
5123 | Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the | |
5124 | TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): | |
5125 | ||
5126 | => erase 40100000 401FFFFF | |
5127 | ||
5128 | .......... done | |
5129 | Erased 8 sectors | |
5130 | ||
5131 | => loads 40100000 | |

5139 | ## Start Addr = 0x00000000 | |
5140 | ||
5141 | ||
5142 | You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; | |
218ca724 | 5143 | this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data |
2729af9d WD |
5144 | corruption happened: |

5157 | Boot Linux: | |
5158 | ----------- | |
5159 | ||
5160 | The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in | |
5161 | memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents | |
5162 | of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as | |
5163 | parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the | |
5164 | "printenv" and "setenv" commands: | |
5165 | ||
5166 | ||
5167 | => printenv bootargs | |
5168 | bootargs=root=/dev/ram | |
5169 | ||
5170 | => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2 | |

5289 | More About U-Boot Image Types: |
5290 | ------------------------------ | |
5291 | ||
5292 | U-Boot supports the following image types: | |
5293 | ||
5294 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment | |
5295 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave | |
5296 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from | |
5297 | the Standalone Program. | |
5298 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which | |
5299 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs | |
5300 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device | |
5301 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot | |
5302 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. | |
5303 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their | |
5304 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is | |
5305 | being started. | |
5306 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS | |
5307 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like | |
5308 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want | |
5309 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot | |
5310 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get | |
5311 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. | |
5312 | ||
5313 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each | |
5314 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network | |
5315 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". | |
5316 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by | |
5317 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to | |
5318 | a multiple of 4 bytes). | |
5319 | ||
5320 | "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like | |
5321 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to | |
5322 | flash memory. | |
5323 | ||
5324 | "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by | |
5325 | U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially | |
5326 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) | |
5327 | as command interpreter. | |
5328 | ||
44f074c7 MV |
5329 | Booting the Linux zImage: |
5330 | ------------------------- | |
5331 | ||
5332 | On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done | |
5333 | using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same | |
5334 | as the syntax of "bootm" command. | |
5335 | ||
8ac28563 | 5336 | Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply |
017e1f3f MV |
5337 | kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the |
5338 | address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following | |
5339 | format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". | |
5340 | ||
2729af9d WD |
5341 | |
5342 | Standalone HOWTO: | |
5343 | ================= | |
5344 | ||
5345 | One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and | |
5346 | run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of | |
5347 | U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. | |

5349 | Two simple examples are included with the sources: | |
5350 | ||
5351 | "Hello World" Demo: | |
5352 | ------------------- | |
5353 | ||
5354 | 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo | |
5355 | application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. | |
5356 | It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it | |
5357 | like that: | |

5383 | Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt | |
5384 | handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'. | |
5385 | Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second. | |
5386 | The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.' | |
5387 | character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be | |
5388 | controlled by the following keys: | |
5389 | ||
5390 | ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers | |
5391 | b - enable interrupts and start timer | |
5392 | e - stop timer and disable interrupts | |
5393 | q - quit application | |

5430 | Minicom warning: | |
5431 | ================ | |
5432 | ||
5433 | Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the | |
5434 | "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) | |
5435 | consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under | |
5436 | Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and | |
5437 | especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and | |
e53515a2 KP |
5438 | use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See |
5439 | http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. | |
5440 | for help with kermit. | |
5441 | ||
2729af9d WD |
5442 | |
5443 | Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this | |
5444 | configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: | |
5445 | ||
5446 | Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi | |
5447 | X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N | |

5451 | NetBSD Notes: | |
5452 | ============= | |
5453 | ||
5454 | Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host | |
5455 | (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx). | |
5456 | ||
5457 | Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on | |
5458 | NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also | |
5459 | need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make). | |
5460 | Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files; | |
5461 | attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is | |
5462 | missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually: | |
5463 | ||
5464 | # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include | |
5465 | # mkdir powerpc | |
5466 | # ln -s powerpc machine | |
5467 | # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h | |
5468 | # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST | |
5469 | ||
5470 | Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native | |
5471 | and U-Boot include files. | |
5472 | ||
5473 | Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a | |
5474 | stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel | |
5475 | proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source | |
5476 | tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the | |
2a8af187 | 5477 | meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz |

5480 | Implementation Internals: | |
5481 | ========================= | |
5482 | ||
5483 | The following is not intended to be a complete description of every | |
5484 | implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the | |
5485 | inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom | |
5486 | hardware. | |
5487 | ||
5488 | ||
5489 | Initial Stack, Global Data: | |
5490 | --------------------------- | |
5491 | ||
5492 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot | |
5493 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to | |
5494 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). | |
5495 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS | |
5496 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working | |
5497 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation | |
5498 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU | |
5499 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and | |
5500 | MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be | |
5501 | locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. | |
5502 | ||
218ca724 | 5503 | Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the |
0668236b | 5504 | U-Boot mailing list: |
2729af9d WD |

5509 | ... | |
5510 | ||
5511 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it | |
5512 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not | |
5513 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness | |
5514 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of | |
5515 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's | |
11ccc33f | 5516 | beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you |
2729af9d WD |
5517 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and |
5518 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. | |
5519 | ||
5520 | OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It | |
5521 | is another option for the system designer to use as an | |
11ccc33f | 5522 | initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either |
2729af9d WD |
5523 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your |
5524 | board designers haven't used it for something that would | |
5525 | cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not | |
5526 | used. | |
5527 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 5528 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere |
2729af9d WD |
5529 | with your processor/board/system design. The default value |
5530 | you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in | |
8a316c9b | 5531 | walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger |
2729af9d WD |
5532 | than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set |
5533 | it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources | |
5534 | that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in | |
5535 | start.S has been around a while and should work as is when | |
5536 | you get the config right. | |

5540 | ||
5541 | It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C | |
5542 | code for the initialization procedures: | |
5543 | ||
5544 | * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt | |
5545 | to write it. | |
5546 | ||
11ccc33f | 5547 | * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized |
2729af9d WD |
5548 | as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- |
5549 | zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). | |
5550 | ||
5551 | * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like | |
5552 | that. | |
5553 | ||
5554 | Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use | |
5555 | normal global data to share information beween the code. But it | |
5556 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly | |
5557 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all | |
5558 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ | |
5559 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of | |
5560 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we | |
5561 | place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we | |
5562 | reserve for this purpose. | |
5563 | ||
5564 | When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the | |
5565 | relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by | |
5566 | GCC's implementation. | |
5567 | ||
5568 | For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: | |
5569 | R1: stack pointer | |
e7670f6c | 5570 | R2: reserved for system use |
2729af9d WD |
5571 | R3-R4: parameter passing and return values |
5572 | R5-R10: parameter passing | |
5573 | R13: small data area pointer | |
5574 | R30: GOT pointer | |
5575 | R31: frame pointer | |
5576 | ||
e6bee808 JT |
5577 | (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 |
5578 | is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when | |
5579 | going back and forth between asm and C) | |
2729af9d | 5580 | |
e7670f6c | 5581 | ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data |
2729af9d WD |
5582 | |
5583 | Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the | |
5584 | address of the global data structure is known at compile time), | |
5585 | but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat | |
5586 | smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on | |
5587 | average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, | |
5588 | 624 text + 127 data). | |
5589 | ||
c4db335c | 5590 | On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: |

2729af9d WD |
5595 | On ARM, the following registers are used: |
5596 | ||
5597 | R0: function argument word/integer result | |
5598 | R1-R3: function argument word | |
12eba1b4 JH |
5599 | R9: platform specific |
5600 | R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) | |
2729af9d WD |
5601 | R11: argument (frame) pointer |
5602 | R12: temporary workspace | |
5603 | R13: stack pointer | |
5604 | R14: link register | |
5605 | R15: program counter | |
5606 | ||
12eba1b4 JH |
5607 | ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data |
5608 | ||
5609 | Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. | |

5611 | On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: |

5613 | ||
5614 | ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data | |
5615 | ||
5616 | Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp | |
5617 | to access small data sections, so gp is free. | |
5618 | ||
afc1ce82 ML |
5619 | On NDS32, the following registers are used: |
5620 | ||
5621 | R0-R1: argument/return | |
5622 | R2-R5: argument | |
5623 | R15: temporary register for assembler | |
5624 | R16: trampoline register | |
5625 | R28: frame pointer (FP) | |
5626 | R29: global pointer (GP) | |
5627 | R30: link register (LP) | |
5628 | R31: stack pointer (SP) | |
5629 | PC: program counter (PC) | |
5630 | ||
5631 | ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data | |
5632 | ||
d87080b7 WD |
5633 | NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, |
5634 | or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. | |
2729af9d WD |
5635 | |
5636 | Memory Management: | |
5637 | ------------------ | |
5638 | ||
5639 | U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the | |
5640 | MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. | |
5641 | ||
5642 | The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory | |
5643 | controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each | |
5644 | memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several | |
5645 | physical memory banks. | |
5646 | ||
5647 | U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on | |
5648 | TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After | |
5649 | booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself | |
5650 | to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some | |
6d0f6bcf | 5651 | memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN |
2729af9d WD |
5652 | configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board |
5653 | Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). | |
5654 | ||
5655 | Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB | |
5656 | of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). | |
5657 | ||
5658 | So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like | |
5659 | this: | |
5660 | ||
5661 | 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code | |
5662 | : | |
5663 | 0x0000 1FFF | |
5664 | 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use | |
5665 | : | |
5666 | : | |
5667 | ||
5668 | : | |
5669 | : | |
5670 | 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) | |
5671 | 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data | |
5672 | 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena | |
5673 | : | |
5674 | 0x00FD FFFF | |
5675 | 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code | |
5676 | ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer | |
5677 | ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) | |
5678 | 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] | |
5679 | ||
5680 | ||
5681 | System Initialization: | |
5682 | ---------------------- | |
c609719b | 5683 | |
2729af9d | 5684 | In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point |
11ccc33f | 5685 | (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset |
2729af9d WD |
5686 | configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. |
5687 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. | |
5688 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) | |
5689 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs | |
5690 | which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked | |
5691 | part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, | |
5692 | the caches and the SIU. | |
5693 | ||
5694 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a | |
5695 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries | |
5696 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash | |
5697 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is | |
5698 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a | |
5699 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM | |
5700 | banks. | |
5701 | ||
5702 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of | |
5703 | different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first | |
5704 | bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address | |
5705 | 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create | |
5706 | contiguous memory starting from 0. | |
5707 | ||
5708 | Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area | |
5709 | and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board | |
5710 | Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM | |
5711 | pages, and the final stack is set up. | |
5712 | ||
5713 | Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; | |
5714 | until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are | |
5715 | running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a | |
5716 | new address in RAM. | |

5793 | Coding Standards: |
5794 | ----------------- | |
c609719b | 5795 | |
2729af9d | 5796 | All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel |
2c051651 | 5797 | coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script |
7ca9296e | 5798 | "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. |
2c051651 DZ |
5799 | |
5800 | Source files originating from a different project (for example the | |
5801 | MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not | |
5802 | reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those | |
5803 | sources. | |
5804 | ||
5805 | Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in | |
5806 | Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) | |
5807 | in your code. | |
c609719b | 5808 | |
2729af9d WD |
5809 | Please also stick to the following formatting rules: |
5810 | - remove any trailing white space | |
7ca9296e | 5811 | - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces |
2729af9d | 5812 | - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds |
7ca9296e | 5813 | - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files |
2729af9d | 5814 | - do not add trailing empty lines to source files |
180d3f74 | 5815 | |
2729af9d WD |
5816 | Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned |
5817 | with a request to reformat the changes. | |

5820 | Submitting Patches: |
5821 | ------------------- | |
c609719b | 5822 | |
2729af9d WD |
5823 | Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to |
5824 | establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules | |
5825 | may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. | |
c609719b | 5826 | |
0d28f34b | 5827 | Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. |
218ca724 | 5828 | |
0668236b WD |
5829 | Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <[email protected]>; |
5830 | see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot | |
5831 | ||
2729af9d WD |
5832 | When you send a patch, please include the following information with |
5833 | it: | |
c609719b | 5834 | |
2729af9d WD |
5835 | * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes |
5836 | this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the | |
5837 | patch actually fixes something. | |
c609719b | 5838 | |
2729af9d WD |
5839 | * For new features: a description of the feature and your |
5840 | implementation. | |
c609719b | 5841 | |
2729af9d | 5842 | * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) |
c609719b | 5843 | |
2729af9d | 5844 | * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file |
c609719b | 5845 | |
27af930e AA |
5846 | * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a |
5847 | maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. | |
c609719b | 5848 | |
2729af9d WD |
5849 | * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to |
5850 | document these in the README file. | |
c609719b | 5851 | |
218ca724 WD |
5852 | * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* |
5853 | recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the | |
7ca9296e | 5854 | "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to |
218ca724 WD |
5855 | the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems |
5856 | with some other mail clients. | |
5857 | ||
5858 | If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of | |
5859 | diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of | |
5860 | GNU diff. | |
c609719b | 5861 | |
218ca724 WD |
5862 | The current directory when running this command shall be the parent |
5863 | directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that | |
5864 | your patch includes sufficient directory information for the | |
5865 | affected files). | |
6dff5529 | 5866 | |
218ca724 WD |
5867 | We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, |
5868 | and compressed attachments must not be used. | |
c609719b | 5869 | |
2729af9d WD |
5870 | * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several |
5871 | files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. | |
52f52c14 | 5872 | |
2729af9d WD |
5873 | * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be |
5874 | submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. | |
8bde7f77 | 5875 | |
52f52c14 | 5876 | |
2729af9d | 5877 | Notes: |
c609719b | 5878 | |
2729af9d WD |
5879 | * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched |
5880 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported | |
5881 | for any of the boards. | |
c609719b | 5882 | |
2729af9d WD |
5883 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch |
5884 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be | |
5885 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. | |
c609719b | 5886 | |
2729af9d WD |
5887 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not |
5888 | add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! | |
5889 | When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only | |
5890 | (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature | |
5891 | disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your | |
5892 | modification. | |
90dc6704 | 5893 | |
0668236b WD |
5894 | * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the |
5895 | u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are | |
5896 | reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches | |
5897 | bigger than the size limit should be avoided. |
