24 | Summary: | |
25 | ======== | |
26 | ||
24ee89b9 | 27 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for |
e86e5a07 WD |
28 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other |
29 | processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to | |
30 | initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application | |
31 | code. | |
c609719b WD |
32 | |
33 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of | |
24ee89b9 WD |
34 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some |
35 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to | |
c609719b WD |
36 | support booting of Linux images. |
37 | ||
38 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily | |
39 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are | |
40 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to | |
41 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used | |
42 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can | |
43 | load and run it dynamically. | |
44 | ||
45 | ||
46 | Status: | |
47 | ======= | |
48 | ||
49 | In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the | |
24ee89b9 | 50 | Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered |
c609719b WD |
51 | "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. |
52 | ||
24ee89b9 | 53 | In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out |
218ca724 WD |
54 | who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board |
55 | maintainers. | |

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

239 | Software Configuration: |
240 | ======================= | |
241 | ||
242 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the | |
243 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. | |
244 | ||
245 | There are two classes of configuration variables: | |
246 | ||
247 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: | |
248 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with | |
249 | "CONFIG_". | |
250 | ||
251 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: | |
252 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if | |
253 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with | |
6d0f6bcf | 254 | "CONFIG_SYS_". |
c609719b WD |
255 | |
256 | Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even | |
257 | identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to | |
258 | do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic | |
259 | links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards | |
260 | as an example here. | |
261 | ||
262 | ||
263 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: | |
264 | --------------------------------------------------- | |
265 | ||
266 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default | |
267 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". | |
268 | ||
269 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: | |
270 | ||
271 | cd u-boot | |
272 | make TQM823L_config | |
273 | ||
11ccc33f | 274 | For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; |
c609719b WD |
275 | e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent |
276 | directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. | |
277 | ||
278 | ||
279 | Configuration Options: | |
280 | ---------------------- | |
281 | ||
282 | Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all | |
283 | such information is kept in a configuration file | |
284 | "include/configs/<board_name>.h". | |
285 | ||
286 | Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in | |
287 | "include/configs/TQM823L.h". | |
288 | ||
289 | ||
7f6c2cbc WD |
290 | Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux |
291 | kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to | |
292 | build a config tool - later. | |
293 | ||
294 | ||
c609719b WD |
295 | The following options need to be configured: |

2535d602 | 332 | |
cf946c6d LW |
333 | - Marvell Family Member |
334 | CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable | |
335 | multiple fs option at one time | |
336 | for marvell soc family | |
337 | ||
c609719b | 338 | - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) |

66ca92a5 WD |
343 | CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if |
344 | get_gclk_freq() cannot work | |
5da627a4 WD |
345 | e.g. if there is no 32KHz |
346 | reference PIT/RTC clock | |
66ca92a5 WD |
347 | CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK |
348 | or XTAL/EXTAL) | |

355 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 356 | CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK |
75d1ea7f | 357 | |
ba56f625 WD |
358 | Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead |
359 | of relying on the correctness of the configured | |
360 | values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure | |
361 | the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note | |
362 | that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz | |
6d0f6bcf | 363 | RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) |
75d1ea7f | 364 | |
506f3918 HS |
365 | CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE |
366 | ||
367 | Define this option if you want to enable the | |
368 | ICache only when Code runs from RAM. | |
369 | ||
66412c63 | 370 | - 85xx CPU Options: |
ffd06e02 YS |
371 | CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 |
372 | ||
373 | Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements | |
374 | the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR | |
375 | compliance, among other possible reasons. | |
376 | ||
66412c63 KG |
377 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV |
378 | ||
379 | Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the | |
380 | system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ | |
381 | devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. | |
382 | ||
8f29084a KG |
383 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT |
384 | ||
385 | Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device | |
386 | tree nodes for the given platform. | |
387 | ||
afa6b551 PK |
388 | CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB |
389 | ||
390 | Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work | |
391 | around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger | |
392 | support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where | |
393 | breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this | |
394 | symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this | |
395 | purpose. | |
396 | ||
33eee330 SW |
397 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 |
398 | ||
399 | Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, | |
400 | then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and | |
401 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. | |
402 | ||
403 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV | |
404 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) | |
405 | ||
406 | Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) | |
407 | for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. | |
408 | ||
409 | The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision | |
410 | of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus | |
411 | p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls | |

442 | - MIPS CPU options: |
443 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET | |
444 | ||
445 | Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack | |
446 | pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before | |
447 | relocation. | |
448 | ||
449 | CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE | |
450 | ||
451 | Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. | |
452 | See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. | |
453 | Possible values are: | |
454 | CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA | |

463 | CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG | |
464 | ||
465 | Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. | |
466 | See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. | |
467 | ||
468 | CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES | |
469 | ||
470 | Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq | |
471 | XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to | |
472 | be swapped if a flash programmer is used. | |
473 | ||

474 | - ARM options: |
475 | CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH | |
476 | ||
477 | Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not | |
478 | clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. | |
479 | ||
5356f545 A |
480 | CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD |
481 | ||
482 | Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction | |
483 | set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides | |
484 | better code density. For ARM architectures that support | |
485 | Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by | |
486 | GCC. | |

490 | CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 | |
491 | CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 | |
492 | ||
493 | If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early | |
494 | during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the | |
495 | workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection | |
496 | exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not | |
497 | set these options unless they apply! | |
498 | ||
795659dc SW |
499 | - CPU timer options: |
500 | CONFIG_SYS_HZ | |
501 | ||
502 | The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). | |
503 | get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG | |
504 | option must be set to 1000. | |
505 | ||
5da627a4 | 506 | - Linux Kernel Interface: |
c609719b WD |
507 | CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ |
508 | ||
509 | U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz | |
510 | internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux | |
511 | kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the | |
512 | bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable | |
513 | "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot | |
514 | converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the | |
515 | Linux kernel. | |
c609719b | 516 | When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of |
218ca724 | 517 | "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the |
c609719b WD |
518 | default environment. |
519 | ||
5da627a4 WD |
520 | CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] |
521 | ||
11ccc33f | 522 | When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions |
5da627a4 WD |
523 | expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. |
524 | Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. | |
525 | ||
fec6d9ee | 526 | CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT |
f57f70aa WD |
527 | |
528 | New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be | |
213bf8c8 GVB |
529 | passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware |
530 | concepts). | |
531 | ||
532 | CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT | |
533 | * New libfdt-based support | |

552 | CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU |
553 | ||
11ccc33f | 554 | This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot |
0267768e MM |
555 | param header, the default value is zero if undefined. |
556 | ||
3887c3fb HS |
557 | CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP |
558 | ||
559 | U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. | |
560 | If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot | |
561 | removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, | |
562 | so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and | |
563 | crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where | |
564 | no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. | |
565 | ||
7eb29398 IG |
566 | CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] |
567 | ||
568 | This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one | |
569 | machine type and must be used to specify the machine type | |
570 | number as it appears in the ARM machine registry | |
571 | (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). | |
572 | Only boards that have multiple machine types supported | |
573 | in a single configuration file and the machine type is | |
574 | runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. | |
575 | ||
0b2f4eca NG |
576 | - vxWorks boot parameters: |
577 | ||
578 | bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following | |
579 | environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. | |
580 | It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. | |
581 | ||
582 | CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name | |
583 | CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address | |

585 | CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters | |
586 | ||
587 | CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS | |
588 | ||
589 | Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" | |
590 | ||
591 | Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride | |
592 | the defaults discussed just above. | |

48d0192f | 606 | CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL |
6705d81e WD |
607 | |
608 | Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. | |
609 | ||
48d0192f | 610 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL |
6705d81e WD |
611 | |
612 | Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. | |
613 | ||
614 | CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK | |
615 | ||
616 | If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to | |
617 | the clock speed of the UARTs. | |
618 | ||
619 | CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS | |
620 | ||
621 | If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, | |
622 | define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) | |
623 | port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h | |
624 | ||
910f1ae3 JR |
625 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR |
626 | ||
627 | Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) | |
628 | have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set | |
629 | this variable to initialize the extra register. | |
630 | ||
631 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT | |
632 | ||
633 | On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage | |
634 | boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this | |
635 | variable to flush the UART at init time. | |
636 | ||
7de0fe1a JMC |
637 | CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT |
638 | ||
639 | 16550 UART set the Transmitter Empty (TEMT) Bit when all output | |
640 | has finished and the transmitter is totally empty. U-Boot waits | |
641 | for this bit to be set to initialize the serial console. On some | |
642 | broken platforms this bit is not set in SPL making U-Boot to | |
643 | hang while waiting for TEMT. Define this option to avoid it. | |
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. | |

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 | |

761 | CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK | |
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 |
824 | CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo |
825 | CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger | |
826 | CONFIG_CMD_BMP * BMP support | |
827 | CONFIG_CMD_BSP * Board specific commands | |

920 | EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network | |
921 | support you can write: | |
922 | ||
602ad3b3 JL |
923 | #include "config_cmd_all.h" |
924 | #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET | |
c609719b | 925 | |
213bf8c8 GVB |
926 | Other Commands: |
927 | fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT | |
c609719b WD |
928 | |
929 | Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands | |
602ad3b3 | 930 | (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know |
43d9616c WD |
931 | what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data |
932 | cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or | |
933 | 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be | |
934 | uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other | |
935 | systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an | |
936 | initial stack and some data. | |
c609719b WD |
937 | |
938 | ||
939 | XXX - this list needs to get updated! | |
940 | ||
45ba8077 SG |
941 | - Device tree: |
942 | CONFIG_OF_CONTROL | |
943 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree | |
944 | to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically | |
945 | compiled #defines in the board file. This option is | |
946 | experimental and only available on a few boards. The device | |
947 | tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. | |
948 | ||
2c0f79e4 SG |
949 | U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can |
950 | be done using one of the two options below: | |
bbb0b128 SG |
951 | |
952 | CONFIG_OF_EMBED | |
953 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree | |
954 | binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the | |
955 | board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file | |
956 | is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through | |
957 | the global data structure as gd->blob. | |
45ba8077 | 958 | |
2c0f79e4 SG |
959 | CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE |
960 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree | |
961 | binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific | |
962 | code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: | |
963 | ||
964 | cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin | |
965 | ||
966 | and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called | |
967 | u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can | |
968 | still use the individual files if you need something more | |
969 | exotic. | |
970 | ||
c609719b WD |
971 | - Watchdog: |
972 | CONFIG_WATCHDOG | |
973 | If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog | |
6abe6fb6 DZ |
974 | support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC |
975 | specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 | |
976 | CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR | |
977 | register. When supported for a specific SoC is | |
978 | available, then no further board specific code should | |
979 | be needed to use it. | |
980 | ||
981 | CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG | |
982 | When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used | |
983 | SoC, then define this variable and provide board | |
984 | specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. | |
c609719b | 985 | |
c1551ea8 SR |
986 | - U-Boot Version: |
987 | CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE | |
988 | If this variable is defined, an environment variable | |
989 | named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot | |
990 | version as printed by the "version" command. | |
a1ea8e51 BT |
991 | Any change to this variable will be reverted at the |
992 | next reset. | |
c1551ea8 | 993 | |
c609719b WD |
994 | - Real-Time Clock: |
995 | ||
602ad3b3 | 996 | When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC |
c609719b WD |
997 | has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the |
998 | following options: | |
999 | ||
1000 | CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx | |
1001 | CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC | |
4e8b7544 | 1002 | CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC |
c609719b | 1003 | CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC |
1cb8e980 | 1004 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC |
c609719b | 1005 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC |
7f70e853 | 1006 | CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC |
3bac3513 | 1007 | CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC |
9536dfcc | 1008 | CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC |
4c0d4c3b | 1009 | CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC |
6d0f6bcf | 1010 | CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 |
71d19f30 HS |
1011 | CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on |
1012 | RV3029 RTC. | |
c609719b | 1013 | |
b37c7e5e WD |
1014 | Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface |
1015 | must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. | |
1016 | ||
e92739d3 PT |
1017 | - GPIO Support: |
1018 | CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO | |
1019 | CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command | |
1020 | ||
5dec49ca CP |
1021 | The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of |
1022 | chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of | |
1023 | pins supported by a particular chip. | |
1024 | ||
e92739d3 PT |
1025 | Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface |
1026 | must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. | |
1027 | ||
c609719b WD |
1028 | - Timestamp Support: |
1029 | ||
43d9616c WD |
1030 | When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp |
1031 | (date and time) of an image is printed by image | |
1032 | commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is | |
602ad3b3 | 1033 | automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . |
c609719b | 1034 | |
923c46f9 KP |
1035 | - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: |
1036 | Zero or more of the following: | |
1037 | CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. | |
1038 | CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the | |
1039 | Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. | |
1040 | CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. | |
1041 | CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the | |
1042 | bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see | |
1043 | disk/part_efi.c | |
1044 | CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. | |
c609719b | 1045 | |
218ca724 WD |
1046 | If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or |
1047 | CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at | |
923c46f9 | 1048 | least one non-MTD partition type as well. |
c609719b WD |
1049 | |
1050 | - IDE Reset method: | |
4d13cbad WD |
1051 | CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several |
1052 | board configurations files but used nowhere! | |
c609719b | 1053 | |
4d13cbad WD |
1054 | CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will |
1055 | be performed by calling the function | |
1056 | ide_set_reset(int reset) | |
1057 | which has to be defined in a board specific file | |
c609719b WD |
1058 | |
1059 | - ATAPI Support: | |
1060 | CONFIG_ATAPI | |
1061 | ||
1062 | Set this to enable ATAPI support. | |
1063 | ||
c40b2956 WD |
1064 | - LBA48 Support |
1065 | CONFIG_LBA48 | |
1066 | ||
1067 | Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB | |
4b142feb | 1068 | Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. |
c40b2956 WD |
1069 | Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' |
1070 | support disks up to 2.1TB. | |
1071 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 1072 | CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: |
c40b2956 WD |
1073 | When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. |
1074 | Default is 32bit. | |
1075 | ||
c609719b WD |
1076 | - SCSI Support: |
1077 | At the moment only there is only support for the | |
1078 | SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define | |
1079 | CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. | |
1080 | ||
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
1081 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and |
1082 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * | |
1083 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the | |
c609719b WD |
1084 | maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target |
1085 | devices. | |
6d0f6bcf | 1086 | CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) |
c609719b | 1087 | |
447c031b SR |

1251 | command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and | |
11ccc33f | 1252 | attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print |
16c8d5e7 WD |
1253 | it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty |
1254 | can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to | |
386eda02 | 1255 | appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a |
16c8d5e7 WD |
1256 | Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. |
1257 | If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate | |
1258 | a Linux host by | |
1259 | # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID | |
1260 | else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment | |
1261 | variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following | |
1262 | might be defined in YourBoardName.h | |
386eda02 | 1263 | |
16c8d5e7 WD |
1264 | CONFIG_USB_DEVICE |
1265 | Define this to build a UDC device | |

1272 | Define this to enable the high speed support for usb | |
1273 | device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine | |
1274 | int is_usbd_high_speed(void) | |
1275 | also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll | |
1276 | whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full | |
1277 | speed. | |
1278 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 1279 | CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV |

16c8d5e7 | 1291 | |
386eda02 | 1292 | If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to |
16c8d5e7 | 1293 | define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h |
386eda02 | 1294 | or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define |
16c8d5e7 WD |
1295 | CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, |
1296 | CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot | |
1297 | should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. | |
1298 | ||
1299 | CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER | |
1300 | Define this string as the name of your company for | |
1301 | - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" | |

1318 | - ULPI Layer Support: |
1319 | The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via | |
1320 | the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY | |
1321 | via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and | |
1322 | the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based | |
1323 | viewport is supported. | |
1324 | To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and | |
1325 | CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. | |
6d365ea0 LS |
1326 | If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the |
1327 | standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to | |
1328 | the appropriate value in Hz. | |

1362 | ||
ea2453d5 PA |
1363 | CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE |
1364 | When updating files rather than the raw storage device, | |
1365 | we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write | |
1366 | the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define | |
1367 | this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. | |
1368 | Default is 4 MiB if undefined. | |
1369 | ||

1381 | function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) | |
1382 | ||
1383 | If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to | |
6d0f6bcf | 1384 | #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 |
6705d81e WD |
1385 | to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you |
1386 | have not defined a custom partition | |

1542 | CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT |
1543 | ||
1544 | Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is | |
1545 | defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. | |
1546 | For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE | |
1547 | here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on | |
1548 | a per-section basis. | |

7152b1d0 | 1566 | - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN |
d791b1dc | 1567 | |
8bde7f77 WD |
1568 | If this option is set, the environment is checked for |
1569 | a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display | |
1570 | of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD | |
e94d2cd9 | 1571 | is suppressed and the BMP image at the address |
8bde7f77 WD |
1572 | specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The |
1573 | console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This | |
1574 | allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is | |
1575 | loaded very quickly after power-on. | |

c0880485 NK |
1577 | CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD |
1578 | ||
1579 | If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment | |
1580 | variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address | |
1581 | (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). | |
1582 | This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment | |
1583 | restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data | |
1584 | abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned | |
1585 | accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) | |
1586 | there is no need to set this option. | |
1587 | ||
1ca298ce MW |
1588 | CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN |
1589 | ||
1590 | If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned | |
1591 | on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the | |
1592 | position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as | |
1593 | number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it | |
1594 | is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also | |
1595 | specify 'm' for centering the image. | |
1596 | ||
1597 | Example: | |
1598 | setenv splashpos m,m | |
1599 | => image at center of screen | |
1600 | ||
1601 | setenv splashpos 30,20 | |
1602 | => image at x = 30 and y = 20 | |
1603 | ||
1604 | setenv splashpos -10,m | |
1605 | => vertically centered image | |
1606 | at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 | |
1607 | ||
581bb419 NK |
1608 | CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE |
1609 | ||
1610 | If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare() | |
1611 | function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part | |
1612 | of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an | |
1613 | opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is | |
1614 | processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot. | |
1615 | ||
98f4a3df SR |
1616 | - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP |
1617 | ||
1618 | If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP | |
1619 | images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the | |
1620 | splashscreen support or the bmp command. | |
1621 | ||
d5011762 AG |
1622 | - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 |
1623 | ||
1624 | If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images | |
1625 | can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the | |
1626 | bmp command. | |
1627 | ||
f2b96dfb LW |
1628 | - Do compresssing for memory range: |
1629 | CONFIG_CMD_ZIP | |
1630 | ||
1631 | If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method | |
1632 | to compress the specified memory at its best effort. | |
1633 | ||
c29fdfc1 WD |
1634 | - Compression support: |
1635 | CONFIG_BZIP2 | |
1636 | ||
1637 | If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed | |
1638 | images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip | |
1639 | compressed images are supported. | |
1640 | ||
42d1f039 | 1641 | NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so |
6d0f6bcf | 1642 | the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should |
42d1f039 | 1643 | be at least 4MB. |
d791b1dc | 1644 | |
fc9c1727 LCM |
1645 | CONFIG_LZMA |
1646 | ||
1647 | If this option is set, support for lzma compressed | |
1648 | images is included. | |
1649 | ||
1650 | Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it | |
1651 | requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the | |
1652 | formula: | |
1653 | ||
1654 | (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) | |
1655 | ||
1656 | Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits | |
1657 | and Literal pos bits. | |
1658 | ||
1659 | This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, | |
1660 | for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a | |
1661 | total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is | |
1662 | a very small buffer. | |
1663 | ||
1664 | Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and | |
1665 | then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring | |
6d0f6bcf | 1666 | the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). |
fc9c1727 | 1667 | |
17ea1177 WD |
1668 | - MII/PHY support: |
1669 | CONFIG_PHY_ADDR | |
1670 | ||
1671 | The address of PHY on MII bus. | |
1672 | ||
1673 | CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) | |
1674 | ||
1675 | The clock frequency of the MII bus | |
1676 | ||
1677 | CONFIG_PHY_GIGE | |
1678 | ||
1679 | If this option is set, support for speed/duplex | |
11ccc33f | 1680 | detection of gigabit PHY is included. |
17ea1177 WD |
1681 | |
1682 | CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY | |
1683 | ||
1684 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
1685 | reset before any MII register access is possible. | |
1686 | For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay | |
1687 | required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) | |
1688 | ||
1689 | CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) | |
1690 | ||
1691 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
1692 | command issued before MII status register can be read | |
1693 | ||
c609719b WD |
1694 | - Ethernet address: |
1695 | CONFIG_ETHADDR | |

1700 | CONFIG_ETH5ADDR | |
c609719b | 1701 | |
11ccc33f MZ |
1702 | Define a default value for Ethernet address to use |
1703 | for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this | |
c609719b WD |
1704 | is not determined automatically. |
1705 | ||
1706 | - IP address: | |
1707 | CONFIG_IPADDR | |
1708 | ||
1709 | Define a default value for the IP address to use for | |
11ccc33f | 1710 | the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not |
c609719b | 1711 | determined through e.g. bootp. |
1ebcd654 | 1712 | (Environment variable "ipaddr") |
c609719b WD |
1713 | |
1714 | - Server IP address: | |
1715 | CONFIG_SERVERIP | |
1716 | ||
11ccc33f | 1717 | Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP |
c609719b | 1718 | server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. |
1ebcd654 | 1719 | (Environment variable "serverip") |
c609719b | 1720 | |
97cfe861 RG |
1721 | CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR |
1722 | ||
1723 | Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' | |
1724 | for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) | |
1725 | ||
1ebcd654 WD |
1726 | - Gateway IP address: |
1727 | CONFIG_GATEWAYIP | |
1728 | ||
1729 | Defines a default value for the IP address of the | |
1730 | default router where packets to other networks are | |
1731 | sent to. | |
1732 | (Environment variable "gatewayip") | |
1733 | ||
1734 | - Subnet mask: | |
1735 | CONFIG_NETMASK | |
1736 | ||
1737 | Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or | |
1738 | routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP | |
1739 | address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be | |
1740 | forwarded through a router. | |
1741 | (Environment variable "netmask") | |
1742 | ||
53a5c424 DU |
1743 | - Multicast TFTP Mode: |
1744 | CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP | |
1745 | ||
1746 | Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per | |
1747 | rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets | |
11ccc33f | 1748 | tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet |
53a5c424 DU |
1749 | driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a |
1750 | multicast group. | |
1751 | ||
c609719b WD |
1752 | - BOOTP Recovery Mode: |
1753 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY | |
1754 | ||
1755 | If you have many targets in a network that try to | |
1756 | boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all | |
1757 | systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same | |
1758 | moment (which would happen for instance at recovery | |
1759 | from a power failure, when all systems will try to | |
1760 | boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining | |
1761 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be | |
1762 | inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The | |
6c33c785 | 1763 | following delays are inserted then: |
c609719b WD |
1764 | |
1765 | 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec | |
1766 | 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec | |
1767 | 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec | |
1768 | 4th and following | |
1769 | BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec | |
1770 | ||
fe389a82 | 1771 | - DHCP Advanced Options: |
1fe80d79 JL |
1772 | You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining |
1773 | CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: | |
1774 | ||
1775 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK | |
1776 | CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY | |
1777 | CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME | |
1778 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN | |
1779 | CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH | |
1780 | CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE | |
1781 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS | |
1782 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 | |
1783 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME | |
1784 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER | |
1785 | CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET | |
1786 | CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX | |
2c00e099 | 1787 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL |
fe389a82 | 1788 | |
5d110f0a WC |
1789 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip |
1790 | environment variable, not the BOOTP server. | |
fe389a82 | 1791 | |
2c00e099 JH |
1792 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found |
1793 | after the configured retry count, the call will fail | |
1794 | instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over | |
1795 | to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server | |
1796 | is not available. | |
1797 | ||
fe389a82 SR |
1798 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS |
1799 | serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more | |
1800 | than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. | |
1801 | If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS | |
1802 | serverip will be stored in the additional environment | |
1803 | variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always | |
1804 | stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS | |
1fe80d79 | 1805 | is defined. |
fe389a82 SR |
1806 | |
1807 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable | |
1808 | to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they | |
1809 | need the hostname of the DHCP requester. | |
5d110f0a | 1810 | If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content |
1fe80d79 JL |
1811 | of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as |
1812 | option 12 to the DHCP server. | |
fe389a82 | 1813 | |
d9a2f416 AV |
1814 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY |
1815 | ||
1816 | A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between | |
1817 | receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". | |
1818 | This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't | |
1819 | respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an | |
1820 | AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed | |
1821 | to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 | |
1822 | DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at | |
1823 | least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope | |
1824 | that one of the retries will be successful but note that | |
1825 | the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than | |
1826 | this delay. | |
1827 | ||
d22c338e JH |
1828 | - Link-local IP address negotiation: |
1829 | Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network | |
1830 | for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. | |
1831 | This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed | |
1832 | to exist in all environments that the device must operate. | |
1833 | ||
1834 | See doc/README.link-local for more information. | |
1835 | ||
a3d991bd | 1836 | - CDP Options: |
6e592385 | 1837 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID |
a3d991bd WD |
1838 | |
1839 | The device id used in CDP trigger frames. | |
1840 | ||
1841 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX | |
1842 | ||
1843 | A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address | |
1844 | of the device. | |
1845 | ||
1846 | CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID | |
1847 | ||
1848 | A printf format string which contains the ascii name of | |
1849 | the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets | |
11ccc33f | 1850 | eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. |
a3d991bd WD |
1851 | |
1852 | CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES | |
1853 | ||
1854 | A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; | |
1855 | 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. | |
1856 | ||
1857 | CONFIG_CDP_VERSION | |
1858 | ||
1859 | An ascii string containing the version of the software. | |
1860 | ||
1861 | CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM | |
1862 | ||
1863 | An ascii string containing the name of the platform. | |
1864 | ||
1865 | CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER | |
1866 | ||
1867 | A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. | |
1868 | ||
1869 | CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION | |
1870 | ||
1871 | A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the | |
1872 | device in .1 of milliwatts. | |
1873 | ||
1874 | CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE | |
1875 | ||
1876 | A byte containing the id of the VLAN. | |
1877 | ||
c609719b WD |
1878 | - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED |
1879 | ||
1880 | Several configurations allow to display the current | |
1881 | status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink | |
1882 | fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as | |
1883 | soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and | |
1884 | start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running | |
1885 | (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux | |
1886 | kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this | |
1887 | feature in U-Boot. | |
1888 | ||
1889 | - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER | |
1890 | ||
1891 | Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support | |
1892 | on those systems that support this (optional) | |
1893 | feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. | |
1894 | ||
1895 | - I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C | |
1896 | ||
b37c7e5e | 1897 | These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of |
945af8d7 | 1898 | (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will |
11ccc33f | 1899 | include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. |
c609719b | 1900 | |
945af8d7 | 1901 | This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot |
602ad3b3 | 1902 | command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in |
b37c7e5e WD |
1903 | CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime |
1904 | clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the | |
43d9616c | 1905 | command line interface. |
c609719b | 1906 | |
bb99ad6d | 1907 | CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. |
b37c7e5e | 1908 | |
945af8d7 | 1909 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka |
b37c7e5e WD |
1910 | bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware |
1911 | support for I2C. | |
c609719b | 1912 | |
945af8d7 | 1913 | There are several other quantities that must also be |
b37c7e5e | 1914 | defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. |
c609719b | 1915 | |
6d0f6bcf | 1916 | In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED |
945af8d7 | 1917 | to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus |
6d0f6bcf | 1918 | to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie |
11ccc33f | 1919 | the CPU's i2c node address). |
945af8d7 | 1920 | |
8d321b81 | 1921 | Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx |
a47a12be | 1922 | (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node |
8d321b81 PT |
1923 | and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, |
1924 | eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set | |
1925 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. | |
c609719b | 1926 | |
5da71efa EM |
1927 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX |
1928 | ||
1929 | When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer | |
1930 | chips might think that the current transfer is still | |
1931 | in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start | |
1932 | commands until the slave device responds. | |
1933 | ||
945af8d7 | 1934 | That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. |
c609719b | 1935 | |
b37c7e5e WD |
1936 | If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) |
1937 | then the following macros need to be defined (examples are | |
1938 | from include/configs/lwmon.h): | |
c609719b WD |
1939 | |
1940 | I2C_INIT | |
1941 | ||
b37c7e5e | 1942 | (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C |
43d9616c | 1943 | controller or configure ports. |
c609719b | 1944 | |
ba56f625 | 1945 | eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) |
b37c7e5e | 1946 | |
c609719b WD |
1947 | I2C_PORT |
1948 | ||
43d9616c WD |
1949 | (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code |
1950 | assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values | |
1951 | are 0..3 for ports A..D. | |
c609719b WD |
1952 | |
1953 | I2C_ACTIVE | |
1954 | ||
1955 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line active | |
1956 | (driven). If the data line is open collector, this | |
1957 | define can be null. | |
1958 | ||
b37c7e5e WD |
1959 | eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) |
1960 | ||
c609719b WD |
1961 | I2C_TRISTATE |
1962 | ||
1963 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated | |
1964 | (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this | |
1965 | define can be null. | |
1966 | ||
b37c7e5e WD |
1967 | eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) |
1968 | ||
c609719b WD |
1969 | I2C_READ |
1970 | ||
472d5460 YS |
1971 | Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, |
1972 | false if it is low. | |
c609719b | 1973 | |
b37c7e5e WD |
1974 | eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) |
1975 | ||
c609719b WD |
1976 | I2C_SDA(bit) |
1977 | ||
472d5460 YS |
1978 | If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it |

2003 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA |
2004 | ||
2005 | If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), | |
2006 | then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be | |
2007 | used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will | |
2008 | have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. | |
2009 | ||
2010 | You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to | |
2011 | the generic GPIO functions. | |
2012 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2013 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD |
47cd00fa | 2014 | |
8bde7f77 WD |
2015 | When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer |
2016 | chips might think that the current transfer is still | |
2017 | in progress. On some boards it is possible to access | |
2018 | the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the | |
2019 | processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin | |
2020 | connected to the bus. If this option is defined a | |
2021 | custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c | |
2022 | is run early in the boot sequence. | |
47cd00fa | 2023 | |
26a33504 RR |
2024 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT |
2025 | ||
2026 | An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is | |
2027 | defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in | |
2028 | boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() | |
2029 | is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus | |
2030 | using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c | |
2031 | controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of | |
2032 | i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus | |
2033 | controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). | |
2034 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
2035 | CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) |
2036 | ||
2037 | This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags | |
2038 | in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment | |
2039 | variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) | |
2040 | ||
bb99ad6d BW |
2041 | CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
2042 | ||
2043 | This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which | |
c0f40859 WD |
2044 | must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is |
2045 | active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. | |
bb99ad6d BW |
2046 | Note that bus numbering is zero-based. |
2047 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2048 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES |
bb99ad6d BW |
2049 | |
2050 | This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped | |
c0f40859 | 2051 | when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
0f89c54b PT |
2052 | is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify |
2053 | a 1D array of device addresses | |
bb99ad6d BW |
2054 | |
2055 | e.g. | |
2056 | #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS | |
c0f40859 | 2057 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} |
bb99ad6d BW |
2058 | |
2059 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus | |
2060 | ||
c0f40859 | 2061 | #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
6d0f6bcf | 2062 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} |
bb99ad6d BW |
2063 | |
2064 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 | |
2065 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2066 | CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM |
be5e6181 TT |
2067 | |
2068 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. | |
2069 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. | |
2070 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2071 | CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM |
0dc018ec SR |
2072 | |
2073 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. | |
2074 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. | |
2075 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2076 | CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM |
0dc018ec SR |
2077 | |
2078 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. | |
2079 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. | |
2080 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2081 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: |
9ebbb54f VG |
2082 | |
2083 | If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. | |
2084 | If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for | |
2085 | specified DTT device. | |
2086 | ||
be5e6181 TT |
2087 | CONFIG_FSL_I2C |
2088 | ||
2089 | Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in | |
7817cb20 | 2090 | drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. |
be5e6181 | 2091 | |
67b23a32 HS |
2092 | CONFIG_I2C_MUX |
2093 | ||
2094 | Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n | |
2095 | I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C | |
2096 | Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a | |
2097 | new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the | |
2098 | new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for | |
2099 | the muxes to activate this new "bus". | |
2100 | ||
2101 | CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this | |
2102 | feature! | |
2103 | ||
2104 | Example: | |
2105 | Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes | |
2106 | The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 | |
2107 | The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 | |
2108 | ||
2109 | => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 | |
2110 | ||
2111 | Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list | |
2112 | of I2C Busses with muxes: | |
2113 | ||
2114 | => i2c bus | |
2115 | Busses reached over muxes: | |
2116 | Bus ID: 2 | |
2117 | reached over Mux(es): | |
2118 | pca9544a@70 ch: 4 | |
2119 | Bus ID: 3 | |
2120 | reached over Mux(es): | |
2121 | pca9544a@70 ch: 6 | |
2122 | pca9544a@71 ch: 4 | |
2123 | => | |
2124 | ||
2125 | If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" | |
f9a78b8d MJ |
2126 | u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable |
2127 | channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable | |
67b23a32 HS |
2128 | the channel 4. |
2129 | ||
2130 | After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as | |
f9a78b8d | 2131 | usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind |
67b23a32 HS |
2132 | the 2 muxes. |
2133 | ||
2134 | This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging | |
2135 | algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C | |
2136 | Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult | |
2137 | to add this option to other architectures. | |
2138 | ||
2ac6985a AD |
2139 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START |
2140 | ||
2141 | defining this will force the i2c_read() function in | |
2142 | the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start | |
2143 | between writing the address pointer and reading the | |
2144 | data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour | |
2145 | of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C | |
2146 | devices can use either method, but some require one or | |
2147 | the other. | |

2154 | ||
6639562e YS |

43d9616c WD |
2167 | Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than |
2168 | using hardware support. This is a general purpose | |
2169 | driver that only requires three general I/O port pins | |
2170 | (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is | |
2171 | defined, the board configuration must define several | |
2172 | SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For | |
2173 | an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. | |
c609719b | 2174 | |

2176 | ||
2177 | Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads | |
2178 | and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration | |
2179 | must define a list of chip-select function pointers. | |
c0f40859 | 2180 | Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an |

6d0f6bcf | 2210 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY |
c609719b | 2211 | |
43d9616c WD |
2212 | Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy |
2213 | status by the configuration function. This option | |
2214 | will require a board or device specific function to | |
2215 | be written. | |
c609719b WD |
2216 | |
2217 | CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY | |
2218 | ||

6d0f6bcf | 2225 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR |
c609719b | 2226 | |
43d9616c WD |
2227 | Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile |
2228 | loading. For example, abort during Virtex II | |
2229 | configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which | |
2230 | indicated a CRC error). | |

2249 | - Configuration Management: | |
2250 | CONFIG_IDENT_STRING | |

2252 | If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot |
2253 | version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) | |
c609719b WD |
2254 | |
2255 | - Vendor Parameter Protection: | |
2256 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2257 | U-Boot considers the values of the environment |
2258 | variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and | |
7152b1d0 | 2259 | "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that |
43d9616c WD |
2260 | are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and |
2261 | protects these variables from casual modification by | |
2262 | the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, | |
2263 | and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can | |
11ccc33f | 2264 | change this behaviour: |
c609719b WD |
2265 | |
2266 | If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config | |
2267 | file, the write protection for vendor parameters is | |
47cd00fa | 2268 | completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete |
c609719b WD |
2269 | these parameters. |
2270 | ||
2271 | Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR | |
2272 | _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default | |
11ccc33f | 2273 | Ethernet address is installed in the environment, |
c609719b WD |
2274 | which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The |
2275 | serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains | |
2276 | read-only.] | |
2277 | ||
2598090b JH |
2278 | The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way |
2279 | for any variable by configuring the type of access | |
2280 | to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable | |
2281 | or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. | |
2282 | ||
c609719b WD |
2283 | - Protected RAM: |
2284 | CONFIG_PRAM | |
2285 | ||
2286 | Define this variable to enable the reservation of | |
2287 | "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten | |
2288 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of | |
2289 | kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite | |
2290 | this default value by defining an environment | |
2291 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to | |
2292 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will | |
2293 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is | |
2294 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will | |
2295 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of | |
2296 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot | |
2297 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: | |
2298 | ||
fe126d8b | 2299 | setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} |
c609719b WD |
2300 | saveenv |
2301 | ||
2302 | This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, | |
2303 | either, which results in a memory region that will | |
2304 | not be affected by reboots. | |
2305 | ||
2306 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic | |
2307 | detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that | |
2308 | this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the | |
2309 | following board configurations are known to be | |
2310 | "pRAM-clean": | |
2311 | ||

c609719b | 2315 | |
40fef049 GB |
2316 | - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) |
2317 | Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not | |
2318 | normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures | |
2319 | support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit | |
2320 | machines using physical address extension or similar. | |
2321 | Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which | |
2322 | currently only supports clearing the memory. | |
2323 | ||
c609719b WD |
2324 | - Error Recovery: |
2325 | CONFIG_PANIC_HANG | |
2326 | ||
2327 | Define this variable to stop the system in case of a | |
2328 | fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. | |
2329 | This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded | |
11ccc33f | 2330 | system where you want the system to reboot |
c609719b WD |
2331 | automatically as fast as possible, but it may be |
2332 | useful during development since you can try to debug | |
2333 | the conditions that lead to the situation. | |
2334 | ||
2335 | CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT | |
2336 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2337 | This variable defines the number of retries for |
2338 | network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP | |
2339 | before giving up the operation. If not defined, a | |
2340 | default value of 5 is used. | |
c609719b | 2341 | |
40cb90ee GL |
2342 | CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT |
2343 | ||
2344 | Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. | |
2345 | ||
48a3e999 TK |
2346 | CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT |
2347 | ||
2348 | Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. | |
2349 | If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, | |
2350 | try longer timeout such as | |
2351 | #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL | |
2352 | ||
c609719b | 2353 | - Command Interpreter: |
8078f1a5 | 2354 | CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE |
04a85b3b WD |
2355 | |
2356 | Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. | |
2357 | ||
a9398e01 WD |
2358 | Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet |
2359 | for the "hush" shell. | |

2360 | |
2361 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2362 | CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER |
c609719b WD |
2363 | |
2364 | Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from | |
2365 | Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling | |
2366 | powerful command line syntax like | |
2367 | if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' | |
2368 | constructs ("shell scripts"). | |
2369 | ||
2370 | If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour | |
2371 | with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. | |
2372 | ||
2373 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2374 | CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 |
c609719b WD |
2375 | |
2376 | This defines the secondary prompt string, which is | |
2377 | printed when the command interpreter needs more input | |
2378 | to complete a command. Usually "> ". | |
2379 | ||
2380 | Note: | |
2381 | ||
8bde7f77 WD |
2382 | In the current implementation, the local variables |
2383 | space and global environment variables space are | |
2384 | separated. Local variables are those you define by | |
2385 | simply typing `name=value'. To access a local | |
2386 | variable later on, you have write `$name' or | |
2387 | `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable | |
2388 | directly type `$name' at the command prompt. | |
c609719b | 2389 | |
43d9616c WD |
2390 | Global environment variables are those you use |
2391 | setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored | |
2392 | in such a variable, you need to use the run command, | |
2393 | and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. | |
c609719b WD |
2394 | |
2395 | To store commands and special characters in a | |
2396 | variable, please use double quotation marks | |
2397 | surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead | |
2398 | of the backslashes before semicolons and special | |
2399 | symbols. | |
2400 | ||
aa0c71ac WD |
2401 | - Commandline Editing and History: |
2402 | CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING | |
2403 | ||
11ccc33f | 2404 | Enable editing and History functions for interactive |
b9365a26 | 2405 | commandline input operations |
aa0c71ac | 2406 | |
a8c7c708 | 2407 | - Default Environment: |
c609719b WD |
2408 | CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS |
2409 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2410 | Define this to contain any number of null terminated |
2411 | strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of | |
7152b1d0 | 2412 | the default environment compiled into the boot image. |
2262cfee | 2413 | |
43d9616c WD |
2414 | For example, place something like this in your |
2415 | board's config file: | |
c609719b WD |
2416 | |
2417 | #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ | |
2418 | "myvar1=value1\0" \ | |
2419 | "myvar2=value2\0" | |
2420 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2421 | Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the |
2422 | internal format how the environment is stored by the | |
2423 | U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported | |
2424 | interface! Although it is unlikely that this format | |
7152b1d0 | 2425 | will change soon, there is no guarantee either. |
c609719b WD |
2426 | You better know what you are doing here. |
2427 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2428 | Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is |
2429 | discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset | |
74de7aef | 2430 | the environment like the "source" command or the |
43d9616c | 2431 | boot command first. |
c609719b | 2432 | |
5e724ca2 SW |
2433 | CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG |
2434 | ||
2435 | Define this in order to add variables describing the | |
2436 | U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. | |
2437 | These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. | |
2438 | ||
2439 | Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: | |
2440 | ||
2441 | - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH | |
2442 | - CONFIG_SYS_CPU | |
2443 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD | |
2444 | - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR | |
2445 | - CONFIG_SYS_SOC | |
2446 | ||
7e27f89f TR |
2447 | CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG |
2448 | ||
2449 | Define this in order to add variables describing certain | |
2450 | run-time determined information about the hardware to the | |
2451 | environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. | |
2452 | ||
06fd8538 SG |
2453 | CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT |
2454 | ||
2455 | Normally the environment is loaded when the board is | |
2456 | intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits | |
2457 | that so that the environment is not available until | |
2458 | explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL | |
2459 | this is instead controlled by the value of | |
2460 | /config/load-environment. | |
2461 | ||
a8c7c708 | 2462 | - DataFlash Support: |
2abbe075 WD |
2463 | CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH |
2464 | ||
8bde7f77 WD |
2465 | Defining this option enables DataFlash features and |
2466 | allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard | |
2467 | commands cp, md... | |
2abbe075 | 2468 | |
f61ec45e EN |
2469 | - Serial Flash support |
2470 | CONFIG_CMD_SF | |
2471 | ||
2472 | Defining this option enables SPI flash commands | |
2473 | 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. | |
2474 | ||
2475 | Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial | |
2476 | flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update | |
2477 | commands. | |
2478 | ||
2479 | The following defaults may be provided by the platform | |
2480 | to handle the common case when only a single serial | |
2481 | flash is present on the system. | |
2482 | ||
2483 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier | |
2484 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select | |
2485 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) | |
2486 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz | |
2487 | ||
24007273 SG |
2488 | CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST |
2489 | ||
2490 | Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash | |
2491 | test ('sf test'). | |
2492 | ||
3f85ce27 WD |
2493 | - SystemACE Support: |
2494 | CONFIG_SYSTEMACE | |
2495 | ||
2496 | Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE | |
2497 | chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address | |
11ccc33f | 2498 | of the chip must also be defined in the |
6d0f6bcf | 2499 | CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: |
3f85ce27 WD |
2500 | |
2501 | #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE | |
6d0f6bcf | 2502 | #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 |
3f85ce27 WD |
2503 | |
2504 | When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type | |
2505 | becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. | |
2506 | ||
ecb0ccd9 WD |
2507 | - TFTP Fixed UDP Port: |
2508 | CONFIG_TFTP_PORT | |
2509 | ||
28cb9375 | 2510 | If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp |
ecb0ccd9 | 2511 | is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. |
28cb9375 | 2512 | If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
2513 | number generator is used. |
2514 | ||
28cb9375 WD |
2515 | Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply |
2516 | the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't | |
2517 | defined, the normal port 69 is used. | |
2518 | ||
2519 | The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to | |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
2520 | blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured |
2521 | target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of | |
2522 | "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing | |
2523 | the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. | |
2524 | A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, | |
2525 | but sometimes that is not allowed. | |
2526 | ||
bf36c5d5 SG |
2527 | - Hashing support: |
2528 | CONFIG_CMD_HASH | |
2529 | ||
2530 | This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce | |
2531 | hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). | |
2532 | ||
2533 | CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY | |
2534 | ||
2535 | Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code | |
2536 | size a little. | |
2537 | ||
2538 | CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing | |
2539 | CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing | |
2540 | ||
2541 | Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps | |
2542 | be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. | |
2543 | ||
a8c7c708 | 2544 | - Show boot progress: |
c609719b WD |
2545 | CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS |
2546 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2547 | Defining this option allows to add some board- |
2548 | specific code (calling a user-provided function | |
2549 | "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show | |
2550 | the system's boot progress on some display (for | |
2551 | example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, | |
2552 | the following checkpoints are implemented: | |
c609719b | 2553 | |
3a608ca0 SG |
2554 | - Detailed boot stage timing |
2555 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE | |
2556 | Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage | |
2557 | of the boot process. | |
2558 | ||
2559 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT | |
2560 | This is the number of available user bootstage records. | |
2561 | Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) | |
2562 | a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed | |
2563 | the limit, recording will stop. | |
2564 | ||
2565 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT | |
2566 | Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: | |
2567 | ||
2568 | Timer summary in microseconds: | |
2569 | Mark Elapsed Stage | |
2570 | 0 0 reset | |
2571 | 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start | |
2572 | 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 | |
2573 | 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done | |
2574 | 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start | |
2575 | 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop | |
2576 | 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start | |
2577 | 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel | |
2578 | ||
2eba38cf SG |
2579 | CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE |
2580 | Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report | |
2581 | and un/stashing of bootstage data. | |
2582 | ||
94fd1316 SG |
2583 | CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT |
2584 | Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' | |
2585 | node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child | |
2586 | has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the | |
2587 | mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the | |
2588 | accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. | |
2589 | For example: | |
2590 | ||
2591 | bootstage { | |
2592 | 154 { | |
2593 | name = "board_init_f"; | |
2594 | mark = <3575678>; | |
2595 | }; | |
2596 | 170 { | |
2597 | name = "lcd"; | |
2598 | accum = <33482>; | |
2599 | }; | |
2600 | }; | |
2601 | ||
2602 | Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. | |

2778 | ||
2779 | Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific | |
44a53b57 WD |
2780 | address for frame buffer. This is typically the case |
2781 | when using a graphics controller has separate video | |
2782 | memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at | |
2783 | the given address instead of dynamically reserving it | |
2784 | in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs | |
2785 | the memory for the frame buffer depending on the | |
2786 | configured panel size. | |

2973 | Modem Support: |
2974 | -------------- | |
2975 | ||
566e5cf4 | 2976 | [so far only for SMDK2400 boards] |
c609719b | 2977 | |
11ccc33f | 2978 | - Modem support enable: |
c609719b WD |
2979 | CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT |
2980 | ||
2981 | - RTS/CTS Flow control enable: | |
2982 | CONFIG_HWFLOW | |
2983 | ||
2984 | - Modem debug support: | |
2985 | CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG | |
2986 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2987 | Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) |
2988 | for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. | |
c609719b | 2989 | |
a8c7c708 WD |
2990 | - Interrupt support (PPC): |
2991 | ||
d4ca31c4 WD |
2992 | There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() |
2993 | for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() | |
11ccc33f | 2994 | for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() |
d4ca31c4 | 2995 | should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If |
11ccc33f | 2996 | CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt |
d4ca31c4 | 2997 | (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. |
11ccc33f | 2998 | timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU |
d4ca31c4 WD |
2999 | specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led |
3000 | / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from | |
3001 | general timer_interrupt(). | |
a8c7c708 | 3002 | |
c609719b WD |
3003 | - General: |
3004 | ||
43d9616c WD |
3005 | In the target system modem support is enabled when a |
3006 | specific key (key combination) is pressed during | |
3007 | power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally | |
11ccc33f | 3008 | (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from |
43d9616c WD |
3009 | board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy |
3010 | function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem | |
3011 | initialization. | |
c609719b | 3012 | |
43d9616c WD |
3013 | If there are no modem init strings in the |
3014 | environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the | |
3015 | previous output (banner, info printfs) will be | |
11ccc33f | 3016 | suppressed, though. |

3020 | Board initialization settings: |
3021 | ------------------------------ | |
3022 | ||
3023 | During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions | |
3024 | to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup | |
3025 | before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the | |
3026 | following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is | |
3027 | architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c | |
3028 | typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). | |
3029 | ||
3030 | - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() | |
3031 | - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() | |
3032 | - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() | |

6d0f6bcf | 3053 | - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to |
c609719b WD |
3054 | the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is |
3055 | booted | |
3056 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3057 | - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: |
c609719b WD |
3058 | List of legal baudrate settings for this board. |
3059 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3060 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET |
8bde7f77 | 3061 | Suppress display of console information at boot. |
c609719b | 3062 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3063 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV |
8bde7f77 WD |
3064 | If the board specific function |
3065 | extern int overwrite_console (void); | |
3066 | returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the | |
c609719b WD |
3067 | serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. |
3068 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3069 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE |
8bde7f77 | 3070 | Enable the call to overwrite_console(). |
c609719b | 3071 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3072 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE |
c609719b WD |
3073 | Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. |
3074 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3075 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: |
c609719b WD |
3076 | Begin and End addresses of the area used by the |
3077 | simple memory test. | |
3078 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3079 | - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: |
8bde7f77 | 3080 | Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. |
c609719b | 3081 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3082 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: |
5f535fe1 WD |
3083 | Scratch address used by the alternate memory test |
3084 | You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable | |
3085 | ||
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
3086 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): |
3087 | If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, | |
14f73ca6 | 3088 | this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top |
11ccc33f | 3089 | (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By |
14f73ca6 SR |
3090 | fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed |
3091 | the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. | |
3092 | This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux | |
5e12e75d | 3093 | board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that |
14f73ca6 | 3094 | recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup |
5e12e75d | 3095 | will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. |
14f73ca6 SR |
3096 | |
3097 | This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx | |
3098 | CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't | |
3099 | be touched. | |
3100 | ||
3101 | WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of | |
3102 | the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, | |
3103 | then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a | |
3104 | non page size aligned address and this could cause major | |
3105 | problems. | |

14d0a02a | 3123 | (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as |
6d0f6bcf | 3124 | CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. |
c609719b | 3125 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3126 | - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: |
8bde7f77 WD |
3127 | Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to |
3128 | determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is | |
3129 | embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate | |
3130 | flash sector. | |
c609719b | 3131 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3132 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: |
c609719b WD |
3133 | Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. |
3134 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3135 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: |
15940c9a SR |
3136 | Normally compressed uImages are limited to an |
3137 | uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, | |
6d0f6bcf | 3138 | you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file |
15940c9a SR |
3139 | to adjust this setting to your needs. |
3140 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3141 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: |
c609719b WD |
3142 | Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of |
3143 | the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by | |
7d721e34 BS |
3144 | the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if |
3145 | used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" | |
3146 | enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case | |
3147 | all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" | |
c0f40859 | 3148 | and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment |
c3624e6e GL |
3149 | variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of |
3150 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, | |
3151 | then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. | |
c609719b | 3152 | |
fca43cc8 JR |
3153 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: |
3154 | Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the | |
3155 | initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand | |
3156 | is enabled. | |
3157 | ||
3158 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: | |
3159 | Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between | |
3160 | "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
3161 | ||
3162 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: | |
3163 | Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in | |
3164 | space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
3165 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3166 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: |
c609719b WD |
3167 | Max number of Flash memory banks |
3168 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3169 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: |
c609719b WD |
3170 | Max number of sectors on a Flash chip |
3171 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3172 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: |
c609719b WD |
3173 | Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) |
3174 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3175 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: |
c609719b WD |
3176 | Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) |
3177 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3178 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT |
8564acf9 WD |
3179 | Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) |
3180 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3181 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT |
8564acf9 WD |
3182 | Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) |
3183 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3184 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION |
8564acf9 WD |
3185 | If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used |
3186 | instead of U-Boot software protection. | |
3187 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3188 | - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: |
c609719b WD |
3189 | |
3190 | Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; | |
3191 | without this option such a download has to be | |
3192 | performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) | |
3193 | copy from RAM to flash. | |
3194 | ||
3195 | The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since | |
3196 | you can check if the download worked before you erase | |
11ccc33f MZ |
3197 | the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is |
3198 | too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the | |
c609719b WD |
3199 | downloaded image) this option may be very useful. |
3200 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3201 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: |
43d9616c | 3202 | Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the |
5653fc33 WD |
3203 | common flash structure for storing flash geometry. |
3204 | ||
00b1883a | 3205 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER |
5653fc33 WD |
3206 | This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver |
3207 | in the drivers directory | |
c609719b | 3208 | |
91809ed5 PZ |
3209 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD |
3210 | This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver | |
3211 | in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash | |
3212 | to the MTD layer. | |
3213 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3214 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE |
96ef831f GL |
3215 | Use buffered writes to flash. |
3216 | ||
3217 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N | |
3218 | s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered | |
3219 | write commands. | |
3220 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3221 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST |
5568e613 SR |
3222 | If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't |
3223 | print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This | |
3224 | is useful, if some of the configured banks are only | |
3225 | optionally available. | |
3226 | ||
9a042e9c JVB |
3227 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS |
3228 | If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown | |
3229 | digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 | |
3230 | column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. | |
3231 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3232 | - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: |
11ccc33f MZ |
3233 | Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some |
3234 | Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value | |
53cf9435 SR |
3235 | to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all |
3236 | buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface | |
11ccc33f | 3237 | on high Ethernet traffic. |
53cf9435 SR |
3238 | Defaults to 4 if not defined. |
3239 | ||
ea882baf WD |
3240 | - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES |
3241 | ||
071bc923 WD |
3242 | Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used |
3243 | internally to store the environment settings. The default | |
3244 | setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most | |
3245 | cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see | |
3246 | lib/hashtable.c for details. | |
ea882baf | 3247 | |
2598090b JH |
3248 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT |
3249 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
3250 | Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when | |
3251 | calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, | |
3252 | hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, | |
3253 | the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. | |
3254 | ||
3255 | The format of the list is: | |
3256 | type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] | |
267541f7 JH |
3257 | access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] |
3258 | attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] | |
2598090b JH |
3259 | entry = variable_name[:attributes] |
3260 | list = entry[,list] | |
3261 | ||
3262 | The type attributes are: | |
3263 | s - String (default) | |
3264 | d - Decimal | |
3265 | x - Hexadecimal | |
3266 | b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) | |
3267 | i - IP address | |
3268 | m - MAC address | |
3269 | ||
267541f7 JH |
3270 | The access attributes are: |
3271 | a - Any (default) | |
3272 | r - Read-only | |
3273 | o - Write-once | |
3274 | c - Change-default | |
3275 | ||
2598090b JH |
3276 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT |
3277 | Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" | |
3278 | envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. | |
3279 | ||
3280 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
3281 | Define this to a list (string) to define validation that | |
3282 | should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" | |
3283 | environment variable. To override a setting in the static | |
3284 | list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the | |
3285 | ".flags" variable. | |
3286 | ||
267541f7 JH |
3287 | - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE |
3288 | If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable | |
3289 | access flags. | |
3290 | ||
5c1a7ea6 SG |
3291 | - CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD |
3292 | This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the | |
3293 | architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards | |
3294 | to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the | |
3295 | arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and | |
3296 | common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture | |
3297 | must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in | |
3298 | its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on | |
3299 | your board please report the problem and send patches! | |
3300 | ||
632efa74 SG |
3301 | - CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS |
3302 | This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols | |
3303 | instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an | |
3304 | offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than | |
3305 | directly. You should not need to touch this setting. | |
3306 | ||
3307 | ||
c609719b WD |
3308 | The following definitions that deal with the placement and management |
3309 | of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the | |
3310 | following configurations: | |
3311 | ||
c3eb3fe4 MF |
3312 | - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: |
3313 | ||
3314 | Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils | |
3315 | may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. | |
3316 | ||
5a1aceb0 | 3317 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: |
c609719b WD |
3318 | |
3319 | Define this if the environment is in flash memory. | |
3320 | ||
3321 | a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is | |
3322 | "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This | |
3323 | happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot | |
3324 | sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller | |
3325 | sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a | |
3326 | layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In | |
3327 | such a case you would place the environment in one of the | |
3328 | 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With | |
3329 | "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the | |
3330 | environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap | |
3331 | between U-Boot and the environment. | |
3332 | ||
0e8d1586 | 3333 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
c609719b WD |
3334 | |
3335 | Offset of environment data (variable area) to the | |
3336 | beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot | |
3337 | type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset | |
3338 | for this sector is given here. | |
3339 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3340 | CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. |
c609719b | 3341 | |
0e8d1586 | 3342 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: |
c609719b WD |
3343 | |
3344 | This is just another way to specify the start address of | |
3345 | the flash sector containing the environment (instead of | |
0e8d1586 | 3346 | CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). |
c609719b | 3347 | |
0e8d1586 | 3348 | - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
3349 | |
3350 | Size of the sector containing the environment. | |
3351 | ||
3352 | ||
3353 | b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. | |
3354 | In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for | |
3355 | the environment. | |
3356 | ||
0e8d1586 | 3357 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: |
c609719b | 3358 | |
5a1aceb0 | 3359 | If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH |
0e8d1586 | 3360 | and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part |
c609719b WD |
3361 | of this flash sector for the environment. This saves |
3362 | memory for the RAM copy of the environment. | |
3363 | ||
3364 | It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this | |
3365 | when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, | |
3366 | since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used | |
3367 | for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is | |
3368 | STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: | |
3369 | updating the environment in flash makes it always | |
3370 | necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes | |
3371 | wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in | |
3372 | RAM, your target system will be dead. | |
3373 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3374 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND |
3375 | CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND | |
c609719b | 3376 | |
43d9616c | 3377 | These settings describe a second storage area used to hold |
11ccc33f | 3378 | a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is |
3e38691e | 3379 | a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during |
43d9616c | 3380 | a "saveenv" operation. |
c609719b WD |
3381 | |
3382 | BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the | |
3383 | source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* | |
3384 | accordingly! | |
3385 | ||
3386 | ||
9314cee6 | 3387 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: |
c609719b WD |
3388 | |
3389 | Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device | |
3390 | (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the | |
3391 | environment. | |
3392 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3393 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: |
3394 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
c609719b | 3395 | |
11ccc33f | 3396 | These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you |
c609719b WD |
3397 | want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory |
3398 | can just be read and written to, without any special | |
3399 | provision. | |
3400 | ||
3401 | BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early | |
3402 | in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the | |
11ccc33f | 3403 | console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or |
c609719b WD |
3404 | U-Boot will hang. |
3405 | ||
3406 | Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the | |
3407 | environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to | |
3408 | keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" | |
3409 | to save the current settings. | |
3410 | ||
3411 | ||
bb1f8b4f | 3412 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: |
c609719b WD |
3413 | |
3414 | Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access | |
3415 | device and a driver for it. | |
3416 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3417 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
3418 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
c609719b WD |
3419 | |
3420 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the | |
3421 | environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. | |
3422 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3423 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: |
c609719b WD |
3424 | If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. |
3425 | The default address is zero. | |
3426 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3427 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: |
c609719b WD |
3428 | If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a |
3429 | single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example | |
3430 | would require six bits. | |
3431 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3432 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: |
c609719b | 3433 | If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between |
ba56f625 | 3434 | page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. |
c609719b | 3435 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3436 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: |
c609719b WD |
3437 | The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note |
3438 | that this is NOT the chip address length! | |
3439 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3440 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: |
5cf91d6b WD |
3441 | EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones |
3442 | like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of | |
3443 | address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit | |
3444 | slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 | |
3445 | byte chips. | |
3446 | ||
3447 | Note that we consider the length of the address field to | |
3448 | still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden | |
3449 | in the chip address. | |
3450 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3451 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
3452 | The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. |
3453 | ||
548738b4 HS |
3454 | - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C |
3455 | define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your | |
3456 | EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. | |
3457 | ||
3458 | - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS | |
3459 | if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over | |
3460 | I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this | |
3461 | EEPROM. For example: | |
3462 | ||
a9046b9e | 3463 | #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" |
548738b4 HS |
3464 | |
3465 | EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over | |
3466 | a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. | |
c609719b | 3467 | |
057c849c | 3468 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: |
5779d8d9 | 3469 | |
d4ca31c4 | 3470 | Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you |
5779d8d9 WD |
3471 | want to use for the environment. |
3472 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3473 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
3474 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: | |
3475 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
5779d8d9 WD |
3476 | |
3477 | These three #defines specify the offset and size of the | |
3478 | environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed | |
3479 | at the specified address. | |
3480 | ||
0a85a9e7 LG |
3481 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: |
3482 | ||
3483 | Define this if you have a remote memory space which you | |
3484 | want to use for the local device's environment. | |
3485 | ||
3486 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: | |
3487 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
3488 | ||
3489 | These two #defines specify the address and size of the | |
3490 | environment area within the remote memory space. The | |
3491 | local device can get the environment from remote memory | |
fc54c7fa | 3492 | space by SRIO or PCIE links. |
0a85a9e7 LG |
3493 | |
3494 | BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use | |
3495 | "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the | |
fc54c7fa LG |
3496 | environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, |
3497 | but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. | |
0a85a9e7 | 3498 | |
51bfee19 | 3499 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: |
13a5695b WD |
3500 | |
3501 | Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use | |
3502 | for the environment. | |
3503 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
3504 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
3505 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
13a5695b WD |
3506 | |
3507 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment | |
fdd813de SW |
3508 | area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be |
3509 | aligned to an erase block boundary. | |
5779d8d9 | 3510 | |
fdd813de | 3511 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): |
e443c944 | 3512 | |
0e8d1586 | 3513 | This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE |
fdd813de SW |
3514 | size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so |
3515 | that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure | |
c0f40859 | 3516 | during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be |
fdd813de SW |
3517 | aligned to an erase block boundary. |
3518 | ||
3519 | - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): | |
3520 | ||
3521 | Specifies the length of the region in which the environment | |
3522 | can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's | |
3523 | block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than | |
3524 | are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within | |
3525 | the range to be avoided. | |
3526 | ||
3527 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): | |
3528 | ||
3529 | Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the | |
3530 | environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The | |
3531 | "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. | |
3532 | Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when | |
3533 | using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. | |
e443c944 | 3534 | |
b74ab737 GL |
3535 | - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST |
3536 | ||
3537 | Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the | |
3538 | environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to | |
3539 | CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. | |
3540 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3541 | - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET |
c609719b WD |
3542 | |
3543 | Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The | |
3544 | area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment | |
3545 | is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte | |
3546 | scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization | |
3547 | calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems | |
3548 | to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the | |
3549 | start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. | |
3550 | ||
e881cb56 | 3551 | Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor |
c609719b | 3552 | has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been |
cdb74977 | 3553 | created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() |
c609719b WD |
3554 | until then to read environment variables. |
3555 | ||
85ec0bcc WD |
3556 | The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor |
3557 | is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working | |
3558 | with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is | |
3559 | necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the | |
3560 | "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't | |
3561 | have any device yet where we could complain.] | |
c609719b WD |
3562 | |
3563 | Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if | |
3564 | the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you | |
85ec0bcc | 3565 | use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. |
c609719b | 3566 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3567 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: |
42d1f039 | 3568 | Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. |
fc3e2165 | 3569 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3570 | Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR |
fc3e2165 WD |
3571 | also needs to be defined. |
3572 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3573 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: |
42d1f039 | 3574 | MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. |
c609719b | 3575 | |
f5675aa5 RM |
3576 | - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: |
3577 | Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init | |
3578 | and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at | |
3579 | drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving | |
3580 | space for already greatly restricted images, including but not | |
3581 | limited to NAND_SPL configurations. | |
3582 | ||
b2b92f53 SG |
3583 | - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO |
3584 | Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on | |
3585 | when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called | |
3586 | to do this. | |
3587 | ||
e2e3e2b1 SG |
3588 | - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE |
3589 | Similar to the previous option, but display this information | |
3590 | later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if | |
3591 | present. | |

c609719b | 3595 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3596 | - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
3597 | Cache Line Size of the CPU. |
3598 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3599 | - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: |
c609719b | 3600 | Default address of the IMMR after system reset. |
2535d602 | 3601 | |
42d1f039 WD |
3602 | Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, |
3603 | and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of | |
3604 | the IMMR register after a reset. | |
c609719b | 3605 | |

3606 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: |
3607 | Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale | |
3608 | PowerPC SOCs. | |
3609 | ||
3610 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: | |
3611 | Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically | |
3612 | the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. | |
3613 | ||
3614 | CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, | |
3615 | for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. | |
3616 | ||
3617 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: | |
3618 | Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new | |
3619 | physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should | |
c0f40859 | 3620 | be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the |
e46fedfe TT |
3621 | same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR |
3622 | is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended | |
3623 | that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: | |
3624 | ||
3625 | #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH | |
3626 | * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) | |
3627 | ||
3628 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: | |
4cf2609b WD |
3629 | Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically |
3630 | either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is | |
e46fedfe TT |
3631 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or |
3632 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
3633 | ||
3634 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: | |
3635 | Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is | |
3636 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or | |
3637 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
3638 | ||
3639 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: | |
3640 | If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be | |
3641 | forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. | |
3642 | ||
7f6c2cbc | 3643 | - Floppy Disk Support: |
6d0f6bcf | 3644 | CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER |
7f6c2cbc WD |
3645 | |
3646 | the default drive number (default value 0) | |
3647 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3648 | CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE |
7f6c2cbc | 3649 | |
11ccc33f | 3650 | defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers |
7f6c2cbc WD |
3651 | (default value 1) |
3652 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3653 | CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET |
7f6c2cbc | 3654 | |
43d9616c WD |
3655 | defines the offset of register from address. It |
3656 | depends on which part of the data bus is connected to | |
11ccc33f | 3657 | the FDC chipset. (default value 0) |
7f6c2cbc | 3658 | |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
3659 | If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and |
3660 | CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their | |
43d9616c | 3661 | default value. |
7f6c2cbc | 3662 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3663 | if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function |
43d9616c WD |
3664 | fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC |
3665 | setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board | |
3666 | source code. It is used to make hardware dependant | |
3667 | initializations. | |
7f6c2cbc | 3668 | |
0abddf82 ML |
3669 | - CONFIG_IDE_AHB: |
3670 | Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI | |
3671 | interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. | |
3672 | When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to | |
3673 | IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional | |
3674 | registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller | |
3675 | is requierd. | |

6d0f6bcf | 3677 | - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. |
efe2a4d5 | 3678 | DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're |

c609719b | 3680 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3681 | - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: |
c609719b | 3682 | |
7152b1d0 | 3683 | Start address of memory area that can be used for |
c609719b WD |
3684 | initial data and stack; please note that this must be |
3685 | writable memory that is working WITHOUT special | |
3686 | initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which | |
3687 | will become available only after programming the | |
3688 | memory controller and running certain initialization | |
3689 | sequences. | |
3690 | ||
3691 | U-Boot uses the following memory types: | |
3692 | - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) | |
3693 | - MPC824X: data cache | |
3694 | - PPC4xx: data cache | |
3695 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3696 | - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: |
c609719b WD |
3697 | |
3698 | Offset of the initial data structure in the memory | |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
3699 | area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually |
3700 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial | |
c609719b | 3701 | data is located at the end of the available space |
553f0982 | 3702 | (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
3703 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just |
3704 | below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + | |
3705 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. | |
c609719b WD |
3706 | |
3707 | Note: | |
3708 | On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data | |
3709 | cache for initial memory) the address chosen for | |
6d0f6bcf | 3710 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must |
c609719b WD |
3711 | point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between |
3712 | the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. | |

3843 | be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. | |
2ad6b513 | 3844 | |
c26e454d WD |
3845 | - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] |
3846 | Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. | |
3847 | ||
3848 | - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY | |
3849 | Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds | |
6e592385 WD |
3850 | to the given FEC; i. e. |
3851 | #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 | |
c26e454d WD |
3852 | means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 |
3853 | ||
3854 | When set to -1, means to probe for first available. | |
3855 | ||
3856 | - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR | |
3857 | The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). | |
3858 | (so program the FEC to ignore it). | |
3859 | ||
3860 | - CONFIG_RMII | |
3861 | Enable RMII mode for all FECs. | |
3862 | Note that this is a global option, we can't | |
3863 | have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. | |
3864 | ||
5cf91d6b WD |
3865 | - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY |
3866 | Add a verify option to the crc32 command. | |
3867 | The syntax is: | |
3868 | ||
3869 | => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> | |
3870 | ||
3871 | Where address/count indicate a memory area | |
3872 | and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the | |
3873 | area should have. | |
3874 | ||
56523f12 WD |
3875 | - CONFIG_LOOPW |
3876 | Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if | |
602ad3b3 | 3877 | the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). |
56523f12 | 3878 | |
7b466641 SR |
3879 | - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC |
3880 | Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic | |
3881 | "md/mw" commands. | |
3882 | Examples: | |
3883 | ||
efe2a4d5 | 3884 | => mdc.b 10 4 500 |
7b466641 SR |
3885 | This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. |
3886 | ||
efe2a4d5 | 3887 | => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 |
7b466641 SR |
3888 | This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. |
3889 | ||
efe2a4d5 | 3890 | This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated |
602ad3b3 | 3891 | globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). |
7b466641 | 3892 | |
8aa1a2d1 | 3893 | - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT |
afc1ce82 | 3894 | [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain |
844f07d8 WD |
3895 | low level initializations (like setting up the memory |
3896 | controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not | |
3897 | relocate itself into RAM. | |
3898 | ||
3899 | Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only | |
3900 | exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some | |
3901 | other boot loader or by a debugger which performs | |
3902 | these initializations itself. | |
8aa1a2d1 | 3903 | |
401bb30b | 3904 | - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD |
df81238b ML |
3905 | Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader |
3906 | that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when | |
3907 | compiling a NAND SPL. | |
400558b5 | 3908 | |
4213fc29 SG |
3909 | - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM |
3910 | Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses | |
3911 | effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard | |
3912 | U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated | |
3913 | to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since | |
3914 | it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all | |
3915 | addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses | |
3916 | to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). | |
3917 | ||
d8834a13 MW |
3918 | - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY |
3919 | CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET | |
3920 | If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will | |
3921 | be used if available. These functions may be faster under some | |
3922 | conditions but may increase the binary size. | |
3923 | ||
588a13f7 SG |
3924 | - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR |
3925 | If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not | |
3926 | needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. | |
b16f521a | 3927 | |
fc33705e MJ |
3928 | - CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK |
3929 | Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). | |
3930 | ||
3931 | NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. | |

3933 | Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: |
3934 | ----------------------------------- | |
3935 | ||
3936 | The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the | |
3937 | loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. | |
3938 | This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros | |
3939 | are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address | |
3940 | within that device. | |
3941 | ||
3942 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR | |
3943 | The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The | |
3944 | meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro | |
3945 | is also specified. | |
3946 | ||
3947 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH | |
3948 | The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format | |
3949 | has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it | |
3950 | might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some | |
3951 | local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. | |
3952 | ||
3953 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR | |
3954 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as | |
3955 | normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the | |
3956 | virtual address in NOR flash. | |
3957 | ||
3958 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND | |
3959 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. | |
3960 | CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. | |
3961 | ||
3962 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC | |
3963 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC | |
3964 | device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. | |
3965 | ||
3966 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH | |
3967 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI | |
3968 | device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. | |
3969 | ||
292dc6c5 LG |
3970 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE |
3971 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) | |
3972 | memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which | |
fc54c7fa LG |
3973 | can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound |
3974 | window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in | |
3975 | master's memory space. | |

3977 | Building the Software: |
3978 | ====================== | |
3979 | ||
218ca724 WD |
3980 | Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments |
3981 | and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support | |
3982 | all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all | |
3983 | (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we | |
3984 | recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) | |
3985 | which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. | |
c609719b | 3986 | |
218ca724 WD |
3987 | If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you |
3988 | have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, | |
3989 | you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. | |
3990 | Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are | |
3991 | necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: | |
c609719b | 3992 | |
218ca724 WD |
3993 | $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- |
3994 | $ export CROSS_COMPILE | |
c609719b | 3995 | |
2f8d396b PT |
3996 | Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in |
3997 | the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain | |
3998 | (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW | |
3999 | toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: | |
4000 | ||
4001 | $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools | |
4002 | ||
4003 | Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can | |
4004 | be executed on computers running Windows. | |
4005 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4006 | U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the |
4007 | sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This | |
c609719b WD |
4008 | is done by typing: |
4009 | ||
4010 | make NAME_config | |
4011 | ||
218ca724 | 4012 | where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- |
4d675ae6 | 4013 | rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. |
db01a2ea | 4014 | |
2729af9d WD |
4015 | Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if |
4016 | additional information is available from the board vendor; for | |
4017 | instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) | |
4018 | or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" | |
11ccc33f | 4019 | when choosing the configuration, i. e. |
2729af9d WD |
4020 | |
4021 | make TQM823L_config | |
4022 | - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support | |
4023 | ||
4024 | make TQM823L_LCD_config | |
4025 | - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD | |
4026 | ||
4027 | etc. | |
4028 | ||
4029 | ||
4030 | Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot | |
4031 | images ready for download to / installation on your system: | |
4032 | ||
4033 | - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image | |
4034 | - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format | |
4035 | - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format | |
4036 | ||
baf31249 MB |
4037 | By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved |
4038 | in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change | |
4039 | this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: | |
4040 | ||
4041 | 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations: | |
4042 | ||
4043 | make O=/tmp/build distclean | |
4044 | make O=/tmp/build NAME_config | |
4045 | make O=/tmp/build all | |
4046 | ||
4047 | 2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: | |
4048 | ||
4049 | export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build | |
4050 | make distclean | |
4051 | make NAME_config | |
4052 | make all | |
4053 | ||
4054 | Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment | |
4055 | variable. | |
4056 | ||
2729af9d WD |
4057 | |
4058 | Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so | |
4059 | for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of | |
4060 | native "make". | |
4061 | ||
4062 | ||
4063 | If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need | |
4064 | to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these | |
4065 | steps: | |
4066 | ||
4067 | 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel | |
4d675ae6 MJ |
4068 | "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. |
4069 | Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. | |
2729af9d WD |
4070 | 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any |
4071 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least | |
4072 | the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". | |
4073 | 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for | |
4074 | your board | |
4075 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new | |
4076 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. | |
4077 | 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. | |
4078 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file | |
4079 | to be installed on your target system. | |
4080 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. | |
4081 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] | |
4082 | ||
4083 | ||
4084 | Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: | |
4085 | ============================================================== | |
4086 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4087 | If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board |
4088 | or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to | |
2729af9d WD |
4089 | provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes |
4090 | the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest | |
218ca724 | 4091 | official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. |
2729af9d | 4092 | |
218ca724 WD |
4093 | But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- |
4094 | cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of | |
2729af9d WD |
4095 | the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, |
4096 | just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot | |
218ca724 WD |
4097 | for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can |
4098 | select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' | |
4099 | environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools | |
4100 | you can type | |
2729af9d WD |
4101 | |
4102 | CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL | |
4103 | ||
4104 | or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type | |
4105 | ||
4106 | CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL | |
4107 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4108 | When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build |
4109 | U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by | |
4110 | setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target | |
4111 | built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and | |
4112 | <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default | |
4113 | location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment | |
4114 | variable. For example: | |
baf31249 MB |
4115 | |
4116 | export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build | |
4117 | export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log | |
4118 | CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL | |
4119 | ||
218ca724 WD |
4120 | With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, |
4121 | log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean | |
4122 | during the whole build process. | |

4182 | For now: just type "help <command>". | |
4183 | ||
4184 | ||
4185 | Environment Variables: | |
4186 | ====================== | |
4187 | ||
4188 | U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which | |
4189 | can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. | |
c609719b | 4190 | |
2729af9d WD |
4191 | Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using |
4192 | "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" | |
4193 | without a value can be used to delete a variable from the | |
4194 | environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are | |
4195 | working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the | |
4196 | environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. | |
c609719b | 4197 | |
c96f86ee WD |
4198 | Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. |
4199 | ||
4200 | List of environment variables (most likely not complete): | |
c609719b | 4201 | |
2729af9d | 4202 | baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE |
c609719b | 4203 | |
2729af9d | 4204 | bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY |
c609719b | 4205 | |
2729af9d | 4206 | bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND |
4a6fd34b | 4207 | |
2729af9d | 4208 | bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image |
c609719b | 4209 | |
2729af9d | 4210 | bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP |
c609719b | 4211 | |
7d721e34 BS |
4212 | bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm |
4213 | command can be restricted. This variable is given as | |
4214 | a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed | |
4215 | for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" | |
4216 | environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is | |
4217 | also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux | |
c3624e6e GL |
4218 | kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and |
4219 | bootm_mapsize. | |
4220 | ||
c0f40859 | 4221 | bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. |
c3624e6e GL |
4222 | This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it |
4223 | defines the size of the memory region starting at base | |
4224 | address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel | |
4225 | during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used | |
4226 | as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is | |
4227 | used otherwise. | |
7d721e34 BS |
4228 | |
4229 | bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm | |
4230 | command can be restricted. This variable is given as | |
4231 | a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region | |
4232 | allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" | |
4233 | environment variable. | |
4234 | ||
4bae9090 BS |
4235 | updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used |
4236 | by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to | |
4237 | documentation in doc/README.update for more details. | |
4238 | ||

4239 | autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), |
4240 | "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the | |
4241 | configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to | |
4242 | load any image using TFTP | |
c609719b | 4243 | |
2729af9d WD |
4244 | autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", |
4245 | "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will | |
4246 | be automatically started (by internally calling | |
4247 | "bootm") | |
38b99261 | 4248 | |
2729af9d WD |
4249 | If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the |
4250 | "bootm" command will be copied to the load address | |
4251 | (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. | |
4252 | This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary | |
4253 | data. | |
c609719b | 4254 | |
a28afca5 DL |
4255 | fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the |
4256 | flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. | |
fa34f6b2 SG |
4257 | For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory |
4258 | at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel | |
4259 | only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you | |
4260 | may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the | |
4261 | device tree blob be copied to the maximum address | |
4262 | of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can | |
4263 | access it during the boot procedure. | |
4264 | ||
a28afca5 DL |
4265 | If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then |
4266 | the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this | |
4267 | to work it must reside in writable memory, have | |
4268 | sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to | |
4269 | add the information it needs into it, and the memory | |
4270 | must be accessible by the kernel. | |
4271 | ||
eea63e05 SG |
4272 | fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened |
4273 | device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is | |
4274 | defined. | |
4275 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
4276 | i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) |
4277 | if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast | |
4278 | mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in | |
4279 | initialization code. So, for changes to be effective | |
4280 | it must be saved and board must be reset. | |
4281 | ||
2729af9d WD |
4282 | initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: |
4283 | If this variable is not set, initrd images will be | |
4284 | copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this | |
4285 | is usually what you want since it allows for | |
4286 | maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to | |
4287 | make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the | |
6d0f6bcf | 4288 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment |
2729af9d WD |
4289 | variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". |
4290 | Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper | |
4291 | address to use (U-Boot will still check that it | |
4292 | does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). | |
c609719b | 4293 | |
2729af9d WD |
4294 | For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB |
4295 | RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, | |
4296 | you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of | |
4297 | the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make | |
4298 | sure that the initrd image is placed in the first | |
4299 | 12 MB as well - this can be done with | |
c609719b | 4300 | |
2729af9d | 4301 | setenv initrd_high 00c00000 |
c609719b | 4302 | |
2729af9d WD |
4303 | If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an |
4304 | indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal | |
4305 | for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash | |
4306 | memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the | |
4307 | ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the | |
4308 | boot time on your system, but requires that this | |
4309 | feature is supported by your Linux kernel. | |
c609719b | 4310 | |
2729af9d | 4311 | ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command |
c609719b | 4312 | |
2729af9d WD |
4313 | loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", |
4314 | "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" | |
c609719b | 4315 | |
2729af9d | 4316 | loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO |
a3d991bd | 4317 | |
2729af9d | 4318 | serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command |
a3d991bd | 4319 | |
2729af9d | 4320 | bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME |
a3d991bd | 4321 | |

c609719b | 4325 | |
e2a53458 | 4326 | ethprime - controls which interface is used first. |
c609719b | 4327 | |
e2a53458 MF |
4328 | ethact - controls which interface is currently active. |
4329 | For example you can do the following | |
c609719b | 4330 | |
48690d80 HS |
4331 | => setenv ethact FEC |
4332 | => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC | |
4333 | => setenv ethact SCC | |
4334 | => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC | |
c609719b | 4335 | |
e1692577 MF |
4336 | ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all |
4337 | available network interfaces. | |
4338 | It just stays at the currently selected interface. | |
4339 | ||
c96f86ee | 4340 | netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will |
2729af9d WD |
4341 | either succeed or fail without retrying. |
4342 | When set to "once" the network operation will | |
4343 | fail when all the available network interfaces | |
4344 | are tried once without success. | |
4345 | Useful on scripts which control the retry operation | |
4346 | themselves. | |
c609719b | 4347 | |
b4e2f89d | 4348 | npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode |
a1cf027a | 4349 | |
28cb9375 | 4350 | tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
4351 | UDP source port. |
4352 | ||
28cb9375 WD |
4353 | tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP |
4354 | destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. | |
4355 | ||
c96f86ee WD |
4356 | tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, |
4357 | we use the TFTP server's default block size | |
4358 | ||
4359 | tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- | |
4360 | seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines | |
4361 | when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to | |
4362 | be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. | |
4363 | Lowering this value may make downloads succeed | |
4364 | faster in networks with high packet loss rates or | |
4365 | with unreliable TFTP servers. | |
4366 | ||
4367 | vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over | |
11ccc33f | 4368 | Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q |
2729af9d | 4369 | VLAN tagged frames. |
c609719b | 4370 | |

4371 | The following image location variables contain the location of images |
4372 | used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is | |
4373 | not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment | |
4374 | variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP | |
4375 | server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be | |
4376 | loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR | |
4377 | flash or offset in NAND flash. | |
4378 | ||
4379 | *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some | |
4380 | boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some | |
4381 | boards use these variables for other purposes. | |

4390 | The following environment variables may be used and automatically |
4391 | updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), | |
4392 | depending the information provided by your boot server: | |
c609719b | 4393 | |
2729af9d WD |
4394 | bootfile - see above |
4395 | dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server | |
4396 | dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server | |
4397 | gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use | |
4398 | hostname - Target hostname | |
4399 | ipaddr - see above | |
4400 | netmask - Subnet Mask | |
4401 | rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server | |
4402 | serverip - see above | |
c1551ea8 | 4403 | |
c1551ea8 | 4404 | |
2729af9d | 4405 | There are two special Environment Variables: |
c1551ea8 | 4406 | |
2729af9d WD |
4407 | serial# - contains hardware identification information such |
4408 | as type string and/or serial number | |
4409 | ethaddr - Ethernet address | |
c609719b | 4410 | |
2729af9d WD |
4411 | These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of |
4412 | the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables | |
4413 | once they have been set once. | |
c609719b | 4414 | |
f07771cc | 4415 | |
2729af9d | 4416 | Further special Environment Variables: |
f07771cc | 4417 | |
2729af9d WD |
4418 | ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed |
4419 | with the "version" command. This variable is | |
4420 | readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). | |
f07771cc | 4421 | |
f07771cc | 4422 | |
2729af9d WD |
4423 | Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take |
4424 | only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). | |

170ab110 JH |
4427 | Callback functions for environment variables: |
4428 | --------------------------------------------- | |
4429 | ||
4430 | For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change | |
4431 | when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to | |
4432 | be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or | |
4433 | deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side | |
4434 | effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. | |
4435 | ||
4436 | The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the | |
4437 | U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. | |
4438 | ||
4439 | These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The | |
4440 | static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC | |
4441 | in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of | |
4442 | associations. The list must be in the following format: | |
4443 | ||
4444 | entry = variable_name[:callback_name] | |
4445 | list = entry[,list] | |
4446 | ||
4447 | If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. | |
4448 | Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. | |
4449 | ||
4450 | Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable | |
4451 | with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will | |
4452 | override any association in the static list. You can define | |
4453 | CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the | |
4454 | ".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. | |

4457 | Command Line Parsing: |
4458 | ===================== | |
f07771cc | 4459 | |
2729af9d WD |
4460 | There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: |
4461 | the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: | |
c609719b | 4462 | |
2729af9d WD |
4463 | Old, simple command line parser: |
4464 | -------------------------------- | |
c609719b | 4465 | |
2729af9d WD |
4466 | - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) |
4467 | - several commands on one line, separated by ';' | |
fe126d8b | 4468 | - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax |
2729af9d WD |
4469 | - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', |
4470 | for example: | |
fe126d8b | 4471 | setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} |
2729af9d WD |
4472 | - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: |
4473 | setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' | |
c609719b | 4474 | |
2729af9d WD |
4475 | Hush shell: |
4476 | ----------- | |
c609719b | 4477 | |
2729af9d WD |
4478 | - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like |
4479 | if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, | |
4480 | until...do...done, ... | |
4481 | - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv | |
4482 | commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax | |
4483 | "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" | |
4484 | command | |
4485 | ||
4486 | General rules: | |
4487 | -------------- | |
c609719b | 4488 | |
2729af9d WD |
4489 | (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" |
4490 | command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and | |
4491 | one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be | |
4492 | executed anyway. | |
c609719b | 4493 | |
2729af9d | 4494 | (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. |
11ccc33f | 4495 | calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing |
2729af9d WD |
4496 | command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining |
4497 | variables are not executed. | |
c609719b | 4498 | |
2729af9d WD |
4499 | Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: |
4500 | ======================================= | |
c609719b | 4501 | |
11ccc33f | 4502 | Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports |
2729af9d WD |
4503 | such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a |
4504 | "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: | |
c609719b | 4505 | |
2729af9d WD |
4506 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding |
4507 | MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), | |
4508 | "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... | |
c609719b | 4509 | |
2729af9d WD |
4510 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance |
4511 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- | |
4512 | ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment | |
4513 | variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: | |
c609719b | 4514 | |
2729af9d WD |
4515 | o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the |
4516 | environment, the SROM's address is used. | |
c609719b | 4517 | |
2729af9d WD |
4518 | o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the |
4519 | environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is | |
4520 | used. | |
c609719b | 4521 | |
2729af9d WD |
4522 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and |
4523 | both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. | |
c609719b | 4524 | |
2729af9d WD |
4525 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the |
4526 | addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a | |
4527 | warning is printed. | |
c609719b | 4528 | |
2729af9d WD |
4529 | o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error |
4530 | is raised. | |
c609719b | 4531 | |
ecee9324 | 4532 | If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses |
c0f40859 | 4533 | will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This |
ecee9324 BW |
4534 | may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. |
4535 | The naming convention is as follows: | |
4536 | "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. | |
c609719b | 4537 | |
2729af9d WD |
4538 | Image Formats: |
4539 | ============== | |
c609719b | 4540 | |
3310c549 MB |
4541 | U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) |
4542 | images in two formats: | |
4543 | ||
4544 | New uImage format (FIT) | |
4545 | ----------------------- | |
4546 | ||
4547 | Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar | |
4548 | to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple | |
4549 | components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by | |
4550 | SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. | |
4551 | ||
4552 | ||
4553 | Old uImage format | |
4554 | ----------------- | |
4555 | ||
4556 | Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, | |
4557 | preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for | |
4558 | details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: | |
c609719b | 4559 | |
2729af9d WD |
4560 | * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, |
4561 | 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, | |
f5ed9e39 PT |
4562 | LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; |
4563 | Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, | |
4564 | INTEGRITY). | |
7b64fef3 | 4565 | * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, |
afc1ce82 ML |
4566 | IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; |
4567 | Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). | |
2729af9d WD |
4568 | * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) |
4569 | * Load Address | |
4570 | * Entry Point | |
4571 | * Image Name | |
4572 | * Image Timestamp | |
c609719b | 4573 | |
2729af9d WD |
4574 | The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header |
4575 | and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by | |
4576 | CRC32 checksums. | |
c609719b WD |

2729af9d WD |
4579 | Linux Support: |
4580 | ============== | |
c609719b | 4581 | |
2729af9d WD |
4582 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application |
4583 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of | |
4584 | U-Boot. | |
c609719b | 4585 | |
2729af9d WD |
4586 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some |
4587 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any | |
4588 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; | |
4589 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation | |
4590 | serves several purposes: | |
c609719b | 4591 | |
2729af9d WD |
4592 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone |
4593 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the | |
4594 | Flash memory footprint) | |
c609719b | 4595 | |
2729af9d WD |
4596 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because |

4599 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" |
4600 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can | |
4601 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't | |
4602 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just | |
4603 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the | |
4604 | software is easier now. | |

4607 | Linux HOWTO: |
4608 | ============ | |
c609719b | 4609 | |
2729af9d WD |
4610 | Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: |
4611 | --------------------------------------- | |
c609719b | 4612 | |
2729af9d WD |
4613 | U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to |
4614 | configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware | |
4615 | (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to | |
4616 | Linux :-). | |
c609719b | 4617 | |
a47a12be | 4618 | But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). |
24ee89b9 | 4619 | |
2729af9d WD |
4620 | Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance |
4621 | include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board | |
1dc30693 MH |
4622 | Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, |
4623 | and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value | |
6d0f6bcf | 4624 | as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. |
24ee89b9 | 4625 | |
c609719b | 4626 | |
2729af9d WD |
4627 | Configuring the Linux kernel: |
4628 | ----------------------------- | |
c609719b | 4629 | |
2729af9d WD |
4630 | No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root |
4631 | device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. | |
4632 | ||
4633 | ||
4634 | Building a Linux Image: | |
4635 | ----------------------- | |
c609719b | 4636 | |
2729af9d WD |
4637 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are |
4638 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target | |
4639 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by | |
4640 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, | |
4641 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a | |
4642 | 100% compatible format. | |
4643 | ||
4644 | Example: | |
4645 | ||
4646 | make TQM850L_config | |
4647 | make oldconfig | |
4648 | make dep | |
4649 | make uImage | |
4650 | ||
4651 | The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to | |
4652 | encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, | |
4653 | CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: | |
4654 | ||
4655 | * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): | |
4656 | ||
4657 | * convert the kernel into a raw binary image: | |
4658 | ||
4659 | ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ | |
4660 | -R .note -R .comment \ | |
4661 | -S vmlinux linux.bin | |
4662 | ||
4663 | * compress the binary image: | |
4664 | ||
4665 | gzip -9 linux.bin | |
4666 | ||
4667 | * package compressed binary image for U-Boot: | |
4668 | ||
4669 | mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ | |
4670 | -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ | |
4671 | -d linux.bin.gz uImage | |
c609719b | 4672 | |
c609719b | 4673 | |
2729af9d WD |
4674 | The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use |
4675 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or | |
4676 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 | |
4677 | byte header containing information about target architecture, | |
4678 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time | |
4679 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. | |
4680 | ||
4681 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and | |
4682 | print the header information, or to build new images. | |
4683 | ||
4684 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information | |
4685 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes | |
4686 | checksum verification: | |
c609719b | 4687 | |
2729af9d WD |
4688 | tools/mkimage -l image |
4689 | -l ==> list image header information | |
4690 | ||
4691 | The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image | |
4692 | from a "data file" which is used as image payload: | |
4693 | ||
4694 | tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ | |
4695 | -n name -d data_file image | |
4696 | -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' | |
4697 | -O ==> set operating system to 'os' | |
4698 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' | |
4699 | -C ==> set compression type 'comp' | |
4700 | -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) | |
4701 | -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) | |
4702 | -n ==> set image name to 'name' | |
4703 | -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' | |
4704 | ||
69459791 WD |
4705 | Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load |
4706 | address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the | |
4707 | kernel version: | |
2729af9d WD |
4708 | |
4709 | - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, | |
4710 | - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. | |
4711 | ||
4712 | So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: | |
4713 | ||
4714 | -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ | |
4715 | > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ | |
a47a12be | 4716 | > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ |
2729af9d WD |

4733 | Entry Point: 0x00000000 | |
4734 | ||
4735 | NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade | |
4736 | speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this | |
4737 | needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not | |
4738 | need to be uncompressed: | |
4739 | ||
a47a12be | 4740 | -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz |
2729af9d WD |

4752 | ||
4753 | Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file | |
4754 | when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: | |
4755 | ||
4756 | -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ | |
4757 | > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ | |
4758 | > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd | |

4763 | Load Address: 0x00000000 | |
4764 | Entry Point: 0x00000000 | |
4765 | ||
4766 | ||
4767 | Installing a Linux Image: | |
4768 | ------------------------- | |
4769 | ||
4770 | To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, | |
4771 | you must convert the image to S-Record format: | |
4772 | ||
4773 | objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec | |
4774 | ||
4775 | The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot | |
4776 | image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to | |
4777 | address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to | |
4778 | specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' | |
4779 | command. | |
4780 | ||
4781 | Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the | |
4782 | TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): | |
4783 | ||
4784 | => erase 40100000 401FFFFF | |
4785 | ||
4786 | .......... done | |
4787 | Erased 8 sectors | |
4788 | ||
4789 | => loads 40100000 | |
4790 | ## Ready for S-Record download ... | |
4791 | ~>examples/image.srec | |
4792 | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ... | |

4796 | [connected] | |
4797 | ## Start Addr = 0x00000000 | |
4798 | ||
4799 | ||
4800 | You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; | |
218ca724 | 4801 | this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data |
2729af9d WD |
4802 | corruption happened: |
4803 | ||

4815 | Boot Linux: | |
4816 | ----------- | |
4817 | ||
4818 | The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in | |
4819 | memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents | |
4820 | of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as | |
4821 | parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the | |
4822 | "printenv" and "setenv" commands: | |
4823 | ||
4824 | ||
4825 | => printenv bootargs | |
4826 | bootargs=root=/dev/ram | |
4827 | ||
4828 | => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2 | |

4947 | More About U-Boot Image Types: |
4948 | ------------------------------ | |
4949 | ||
4950 | U-Boot supports the following image types: | |
4951 | ||
4952 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment | |
4953 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave | |
4954 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from | |
4955 | the Standalone Program. | |
4956 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which | |
4957 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs | |
4958 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device | |
4959 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot | |
4960 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. | |
4961 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their | |
4962 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is | |
4963 | being started. | |
4964 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS | |
4965 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like | |
4966 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want | |
4967 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot | |
4968 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get | |
4969 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. | |
4970 | ||
4971 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each | |
4972 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network | |
4973 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". | |
4974 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by | |
4975 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to | |
4976 | a multiple of 4 bytes). | |
4977 | ||
4978 | "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like | |
4979 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to | |
4980 | flash memory. | |
4981 | ||
4982 | "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by | |
4983 | U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially | |
4984 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) | |
4985 | as command interpreter. | |

4987 | Booting the Linux zImage: |
4988 | ------------------------- | |
4989 | ||
4990 | On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done | |
4991 | using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same | |
4992 | as the syntax of "bootm" command. | |
4993 | ||

4994 | Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply |
4995 | kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the | |
4996 | address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following | |
4997 | format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". | |

5000 | Standalone HOWTO: | |
5001 | ================= | |
5002 | ||
5003 | One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and | |
5004 | run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of | |
5005 | U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. | |
5006 | ||
5007 | Two simple examples are included with the sources: | |
5008 | ||
5009 | "Hello World" Demo: | |
5010 | ------------------- | |
5011 | ||
5012 | 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo | |
5013 | application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. | |
5014 | It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it | |
5015 | like that: | |
5016 | ||

5025 | => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test. | |
5026 | ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... | |
5027 | Hello World | |
5028 | argc = 7 | |
5029 | argv[0] = "40004" | |
5030 | argv[1] = "Hello" | |
5031 | argv[2] = "World!" | |
5032 | argv[3] = "This" | |
5033 | argv[4] = "is" | |
5034 | argv[5] = "a" | |
5035 | argv[6] = "test." | |
5036 | argv[7] = "<NULL>" | |
5037 | Hit any key to exit ... | |
5038 | ||
5039 | ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 | |
5040 | ||
5041 | Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt | |
5042 | handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'. | |
5043 | Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second. | |
5044 | The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.' | |
5045 | character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be | |
5046 | controlled by the following keys: | |
5047 | ||
5048 | ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers | |
5049 | b - enable interrupts and start timer | |
5050 | e - stop timer and disable interrupts | |
5051 | q - quit application | |

5088 | Minicom warning: | |
5089 | ================ | |
5090 | ||
5091 | Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the | |
5092 | "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) | |
5093 | consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under | |
5094 | Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and | |
5095 | especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and | |
e53515a2 KP |
5096 | use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See |
5097 | http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. | |
5098 | for help with kermit. | |
5099 | ||
2729af9d WD |
5100 | |
5101 | Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this | |
5102 | configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: | |
5103 | ||
5104 | Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi | |
5105 | X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N | |

5109 | NetBSD Notes: | |
5110 | ============= | |
5111 | ||
5112 | Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host | |
5113 | (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx). | |
5114 | ||
5115 | Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on | |
5116 | NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also | |
5117 | need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make). | |
5118 | Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files; | |
5119 | attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is | |
5120 | missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually: | |
5121 | ||
5122 | # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include | |
5123 | # mkdir powerpc | |
5124 | # ln -s powerpc machine | |
5125 | # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h | |
5126 | # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST | |
5127 | ||
5128 | Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native | |
5129 | and U-Boot include files. | |
5130 | ||
5131 | Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a | |
5132 | stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel | |
5133 | proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source | |
5134 | tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the | |
2a8af187 | 5135 | meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz |

5138 | Implementation Internals: | |
5139 | ========================= | |
5140 | ||
5141 | The following is not intended to be a complete description of every | |
5142 | implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the | |
5143 | inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom | |
5144 | hardware. | |
5145 | ||
5146 | ||
5147 | Initial Stack, Global Data: | |
5148 | --------------------------- | |
5149 | ||
5150 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot | |
5151 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to | |
5152 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). | |
5153 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS | |
5154 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working | |
5155 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation | |
5156 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU | |
5157 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and | |
5158 | MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be | |
5159 | locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. | |
5160 | ||
218ca724 | 5161 | Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the |
0668236b | 5162 | U-Boot mailing list: |

5167 | ... | |
5168 | ||
5169 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it | |
5170 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not | |
5171 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness | |
5172 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of | |
5173 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's | |
11ccc33f | 5174 | beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you |
2729af9d WD |
5175 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and |
5176 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. | |
5177 | ||
5178 | OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It | |
5179 | is another option for the system designer to use as an | |
11ccc33f | 5180 | initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either |
2729af9d WD |
5181 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your |
5182 | board designers haven't used it for something that would | |
5183 | cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not | |
5184 | used. | |
5185 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 5186 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere |
2729af9d WD |
5187 | with your processor/board/system design. The default value |
5188 | you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in | |
8a316c9b | 5189 | walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger |
2729af9d WD |
5190 | than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set |
5191 | it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources | |
5192 | that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in | |
5193 | start.S has been around a while and should work as is when | |
5194 | you get the config right. | |

5198 | ||
5199 | It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C | |
5200 | code for the initialization procedures: | |
5201 | ||
5202 | * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt | |
5203 | to write it. | |
5204 | ||
11ccc33f | 5205 | * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized |
2729af9d WD |
5206 | as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- |
5207 | zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). | |
5208 | ||
5209 | * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like | |
5210 | that. | |
5211 | ||
5212 | Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use | |
5213 | normal global data to share information beween the code. But it | |
5214 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly | |
5215 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all | |
5216 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ | |
5217 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of | |
5218 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we | |
5219 | place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we | |
5220 | reserve for this purpose. | |
5221 | ||
5222 | When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the | |
5223 | relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by | |
5224 | GCC's implementation. | |
5225 | ||
5226 | For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: | |
5227 | R1: stack pointer | |
e7670f6c | 5228 | R2: reserved for system use |
2729af9d WD |
5229 | R3-R4: parameter passing and return values |
5230 | R5-R10: parameter passing | |
5231 | R13: small data area pointer | |
5232 | R30: GOT pointer | |
5233 | R31: frame pointer | |
5234 | ||
e6bee808 JT |
5235 | (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 |
5236 | is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when | |
5237 | going back and forth between asm and C) | |
2729af9d | 5238 | |
e7670f6c | 5239 | ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data |
2729af9d WD |
5240 | |
5241 | Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the | |
5242 | address of the global data structure is known at compile time), | |
5243 | but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat | |
5244 | smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on | |
5245 | average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, | |
5246 | 624 text + 127 data). | |
5247 | ||
c4db335c | 5248 | On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: |

5253 | On ARM, the following registers are used: |

5255 | R0: function argument word/integer result | |
5256 | R1-R3: function argument word | |
5257 | R9: GOT pointer | |

5259 | R11: argument (frame) pointer | |
5260 | R12: temporary workspace | |

5262 | R14: link register | |

5269 | ||
5270 | ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data | |
5271 | ||
5272 | Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp | |
5273 | to access small data sections, so gp is free. | |
5274 | ||

5275 | On NDS32, the following registers are used: |

5277 | R0-R1: argument/return | |
5278 | R2-R5: argument | |
5279 | R15: temporary register for assembler | |

5281 | R28: frame pointer (FP) | |
5282 | R29: global pointer (GP) | |
5283 | R30: link register (LP) | |

d87080b7 WD |
5289 | NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, |
5290 | or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. | |
2729af9d WD |
5291 | |
5292 | Memory Management: | |
5293 | ------------------ | |
5294 | ||
5295 | U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the | |
5296 | MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. | |
5297 | ||
5298 | The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory | |
5299 | controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each | |
5300 | memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several | |
5301 | physical memory banks. | |
5302 | ||
5303 | U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on | |
5304 | TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After | |
5305 | booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself | |
5306 | to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some | |
6d0f6bcf | 5307 | memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN |
2729af9d WD |
5308 | configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board |
5309 | Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). | |
5310 | ||
5311 | Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB | |
5312 | of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). | |
5313 | ||
5314 | So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like | |
5315 | this: | |
5316 | ||
5317 | 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code | |
5318 | : | |
5319 | 0x0000 1FFF | |
5320 | 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use | |
5321 | : | |
5322 | : | |
5323 | ||
5324 | : | |
5325 | : | |
5326 | 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) | |
5327 | 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data | |
5328 | 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena | |
5329 | : | |
5330 | 0x00FD FFFF | |
5331 | 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code | |
5332 | ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer | |
5333 | ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) | |
5334 | 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] | |
5335 | ||
5336 | ||
5337 | System Initialization: | |
5338 | ---------------------- | |
c609719b | 5339 | |
2729af9d | 5340 | In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point |
11ccc33f | 5341 | (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset |
2729af9d WD |
5342 | configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. |
5343 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. | |
5344 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) | |
5345 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs | |
5346 | which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked | |
5347 | part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, | |
5348 | the caches and the SIU. | |
5349 | ||
5350 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a | |
5351 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries | |
5352 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash | |
5353 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is | |
5354 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a | |
5355 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM | |
5356 | banks. | |
5357 | ||
5358 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of | |
5359 | different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first | |
5360 | bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address | |
5361 | 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create | |
5362 | contiguous memory starting from 0. | |
5363 | ||
5364 | Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area | |
5365 | and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board | |
5366 | Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM | |
5367 | pages, and the final stack is set up. | |
5368 | ||
5369 | Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; | |
5370 | until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are | |
5371 | running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a | |
5372 | new address in RAM. | |

5449 | Coding Standards: |
5450 | ----------------- | |
c609719b | 5451 | |
2729af9d | 5452 | All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel |
2c051651 | 5453 | coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script |
7ca9296e | 5454 | "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. |
2c051651 DZ |
5455 | |
5456 | Source files originating from a different project (for example the | |
5457 | MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not | |
5458 | reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those | |
5459 | sources. | |
5460 | ||
5461 | Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in | |
5462 | Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) | |
5463 | in your code. | |
c609719b | 5464 | |
2729af9d WD |
5465 | Please also stick to the following formatting rules: |
5466 | - remove any trailing white space | |
7ca9296e | 5467 | - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces |
2729af9d | 5468 | - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds |
7ca9296e | 5469 | - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files |
2729af9d | 5470 | - do not add trailing empty lines to source files |
180d3f74 | 5471 | |
2729af9d WD |
5472 | Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned |
5473 | with a request to reformat the changes. | |

5476 | Submitting Patches: |
5477 | ------------------- | |
c609719b | 5478 | |
2729af9d WD |
5479 | Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to |
5480 | establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules | |
5481 | may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. | |
c609719b | 5482 | |
0d28f34b | 5483 | Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. |
218ca724 | 5484 | |
0668236b WD |
5485 | Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <[email protected]>; |
5486 | see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot | |
5487 | ||
2729af9d WD |
5488 | When you send a patch, please include the following information with |
5489 | it: | |
c609719b | 5490 | |
2729af9d WD |
5491 | * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes |
5492 | this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the | |
5493 | patch actually fixes something. | |
c609719b | 5494 | |
2729af9d WD |
5495 | * For new features: a description of the feature and your |
5496 | implementation. | |
c609719b | 5497 | |
2729af9d | 5498 | * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) |
c609719b | 5499 | |
2729af9d | 5500 | * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file |
c609719b | 5501 | |
2729af9d | 5502 | * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this |
7ca9296e | 5503 | board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. |
c609719b | 5504 | |
2729af9d WD |
5505 | * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to |
5506 | document these in the README file. | |
c609719b | 5507 | |
218ca724 WD |
5508 | * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* |
5509 | recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the | |
7ca9296e | 5510 | "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to |
218ca724 WD |
5511 | the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems |
5512 | with some other mail clients. | |
5513 | ||
5514 | If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of | |
5515 | diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of | |
5516 | GNU diff. | |
c609719b | 5517 | |
218ca724 WD |
5518 | The current directory when running this command shall be the parent |
5519 | directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that | |
5520 | your patch includes sufficient directory information for the | |
5521 | affected files). | |
6dff5529 | 5522 | |
218ca724 WD |
5523 | We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, |
5524 | and compressed attachments must not be used. | |
c609719b | 5525 | |
2729af9d WD |
5526 | * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several |
5527 | files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. | |
52f52c14 | 5528 | |
2729af9d WD |
5529 | * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be |
5530 | submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. | |
8bde7f77 | 5531 | |
52f52c14 | 5532 | |
2729af9d | 5533 | Notes: |
c609719b | 5534 | |
2729af9d WD |
5535 | * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched |
5536 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported | |
5537 | for any of the boards. | |
c609719b | 5538 | |
2729af9d WD |
5539 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch |
5540 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be | |
5541 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. | |
c609719b | 5542 | |
2729af9d WD |
5543 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not |
5544 | add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! | |
5545 | When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only | |
5546 | (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature | |
5547 | disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your | |
5548 | modification. | |
90dc6704 | 5549 | |
0668236b WD |
5550 | * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the |
5551 | u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are | |
5552 | reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches | |
5553 | bigger than the size limit should be avoided. |
