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

55maintainers.

238Software Configuration:
239=======================
240
241Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
242rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
243
244There are two classes of configuration variables:
245
246* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
247 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
248 "CONFIG_".
249
250* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
251 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
252 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
6d0f6bcf 253 "CONFIG_SYS_".
c609719b
WD
254
255Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
256identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
257do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
258links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
259as an example here.
260
261
262Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
263---------------------------------------------------
264
265For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
266configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
267
268Example: For a TQM823L module type:
269
270 cd u-boot
271 make TQM823L_config
272
11ccc33f 273For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
c609719b
WD
274e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
275directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
276
277
278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
7f6c2cbc
WD
289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292

WD
357 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
358 of relying on the correctness of the configured
359 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
360 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
361 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
6d0f6bcf 362 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

368
66412c63 369- 85xx CPU Options:
ffd06e02
YS
370 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
371
372 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
373 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
374 compliance, among other possible reasons.
375
66412c63
KG
376 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
377
378 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
379 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
380 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
381
8f29084a
KG
382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
383
384 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
385 tree nodes for the given platform.
386
afa6b551
PK
387 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
388
389 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
390 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
391 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
392 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
393 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
394 purpose.
395
33eee330
SW
396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
397
398 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
399 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
400 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
401
402 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
404
405 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
406 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
407
408 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
409 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
410 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
411 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
412
413 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
414 this erratum.
415
74fa22ed
PK
416 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
417 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only

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

503 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
504 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
505 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
506 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
507 set these options unless they apply!

5da627a4 516- Linux Kernel Interface:
c609719b
WD
517 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
518
519 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
520 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
521 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
522 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
523 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
524 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
525 Linux kernel.
c609719b 526 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
218ca724 527 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
c609719b

567 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
568
569 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
570 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
571 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
572 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
573 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
574 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

579 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
580 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
581 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
582 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
583 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
584 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

588 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
589 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
590 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
591
592 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
593 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address

635 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
636
637 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
638 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
639 this variable to initialize the extra register.
640
641 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
642
643 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
644 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
645 variable to flush the UART at init time.

649 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
650 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
651 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
652 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
c609719b

716- Console Rx buffer length
717 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
718 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
2b3f12c2 719 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
c92fac91
HS
720 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
721 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
722 the SMC.
723
9558b48a 724- Pre-Console Buffer:
4cf2609b
WD
725 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
726 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
727 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
728 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
729 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
730 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
731 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
6feff899 732 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
4cf2609b
WD
733 earlier bytes are discarded.
734
735 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
736 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
9558b48a 737

SR
738- Safe printf() functions
739 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
740 the printf() functions. These are defined in
741 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
742 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
743 If this option is not given then these functions will
744 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
745 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.

747- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
748 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
749 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
93d7212f
JH
750 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
751 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
c609719b
WD
752
753 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
754 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.

762 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
763 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
764 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
765
766- Autoboot Command:
767 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
768 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
769 define a command string that is automatically executed
770 when no character is read on the console interface
771 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
772
773 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
43d9616c
WD
774 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
775 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
776 environment value "bootargs".
c609719b
WD
777
778 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
43d9616c
WD
779 The value of these goes into the environment as
780 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
781 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
11ccc33f 782 RAM and NFS.
c609719b
WD
783
784- Pre-Boot Commands:
785 CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791 entering interactive mode.
792
793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794 automatically generated or modified. For an example
795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796 modified when the user holds down a certain
797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798 booting the systems
799
800- Serial Download Echo Mode:
801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
808
602ad3b3 809- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
c609719b
WD
810 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
811 Select one of the baudrates listed in
6d0f6bcf 812 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.

926 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
927 support you can write:
928
602ad3b3
JL
929 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
930 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

934
935 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
602ad3b3 936 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
43d9616c
WD
937 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
938 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
939 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
940 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
941 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
942 initial stack and some data.

947- Regular expression support:
948 CONFIG_REGEX
949 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
950 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
951 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
952 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
953
45ba8077
SG
954- Device tree:
955 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
956 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
957 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
958 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
959 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
960 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
961
2c0f79e4
SG
962 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
963 be done using one of the two options below:
bbb0b128
SG
964
965 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
966 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
967 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
968 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
969 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
970 the global data structure as gd->blob.
45ba8077 971
2c0f79e4
SG
972 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
973 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
974 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
975 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
976
977 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
978
979 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
980 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
981 still use the individual files if you need something more
982 exotic.
983
c609719b
WD
984- Watchdog:
985 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
986 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
6abe6fb6
DZ
987 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
988 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
989 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
990 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
991 available, then no further board specific code should
992 be needed to use it.
993
994 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
995 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
996 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
997 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
c609719b 998
c1551ea8
SR
999- U-Boot Version:
1000 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1001 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1002 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1003 version as printed by the "version" command.
a1ea8e51

1035 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1036 pins supported by a particular chip.
1037
e92739d3

c609719b
WD
1041- Timestamp Support:
1042
43d9616c
WD
1043 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1044 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1045 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
602ad3b3 1046 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

1364- ULPI Layer Support:
1365 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1366 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1367 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1368 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1369 viewport is supported.
1370 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1371 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
6d365ea0
LS
1372 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1373 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1374 the appropriate value in Hz.

1411 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1412 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1413 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1414
ea2453d5
PA
1415 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1416 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1417 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1418 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1419 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1420 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

1599 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1600
1601 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1602 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1603 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1604 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1605 a per-section basis.

1622
7152b1d0 1623- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
d791b1dc 1624
8bde7f77
WD
1625 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1626 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1627 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
e94d2cd9 1628 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
8bde7f77
WD
1629 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1630 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1631 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1632 loaded very quickly after power-on.
d791b1dc 1633
c0880485
NK
1634 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1635
1636 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1637 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1638 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1639 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1640 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1641 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1642 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1643 there is no need to set this option.
1644
1ca298ce
MW
1645 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1646
1647 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1648 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1649 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1650 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1651 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1652 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1653
1654 Example:
1655 setenv splashpos m,m
1656 => image at center of screen
1657
1658 setenv splashpos 30,20
1659 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1660
1661 setenv splashpos -10,m
1662 => vertically centered image
1663 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9

SR
1665- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1666
1667 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1668 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1669 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1670
d5011762
AG
1671- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1672
1673 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1674 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1675 bmp command.

1677- Do compresssing for memory range:
1678 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1679
1680 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1681 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1682
c29fdfc1
WD
1683- Compression support:
1684 CONFIG_BZIP2
1685
1686 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1687 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1688 compressed images are supported.
1689
42d1f039 1690 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
6d0f6bcf 1691 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
42d1f039 1692 be at least 4MB.
d791b1dc 1693
fc9c1727
LCM
1694 CONFIG_LZMA
1695
1696 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1697 images is included.
1698
1699 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1700 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1701 formula:
1702
1703 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1704
1705 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1706 and Literal pos bits.
1707
1708 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1709 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1710 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1711 a very small buffer.
1712
1713 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1714 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
6d0f6bcf 1715 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

WD
1730
1731 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1732
1733 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1734 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1735 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1736 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1737
1738 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)

1801- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1802 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1803
1804 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1805 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1806 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1807 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1808 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1809 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1810 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1811 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
6c33c785 1812 following delays are inserted then:

fe389a82 1820- DHCP Advanced Options:
1fe80d79
JL
1821 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1822 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1823
1824 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1825 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1826 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1827 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1828 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1829 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1830 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1831 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1832 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1833 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1834 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1835 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2c00e099 1836 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
fe389a82 1837
5d110f0a
WC
1838 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1839 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
fe389a82 1840
2c00e099
JH
1841 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1842 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1843 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1844 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1845 is not available.
1846
fe389a82
SR
1847 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1848 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1849 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1850 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1851 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1852 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1853 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1fe80d79 1854 is defined.
fe389a82
SR
1855
1856 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1857 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1858 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
5d110f0a 1859 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1fe80d79
JL
1860 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1861 option 12 to the DHCP server.
fe389a82 1862

AV
1863 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1864
1865 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1866 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1867 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1868 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1869 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1870 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1871 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1872 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1873 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1874 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1875 this delay.

1877 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1878 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1879 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1880 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1881 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

a3d991bd
WD
1887
1888 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1889
1890 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1891
1892 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1893 of the device.
1894
1895 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1896
1897 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1898 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
11ccc33f 1899 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
a3d991bd
WD
1900
1901 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1902
1903 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1904 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1905
1906 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION

1927- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1928
1929 Several configurations allow to display the current
1930 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1931 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1932 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1933 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1934 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1935 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1936 feature in U-Boot.
1937
1938- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1939
1940 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1941 on those systems that support this (optional)
1942 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1943
1944- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1945
b37c7e5e 1946 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
945af8d7 1947 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
11ccc33f 1948 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
c609719b 1949
945af8d7 1950 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
602ad3b3 1951 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
b37c7e5e
WD
1952 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1953 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
43d9616c 1954 command line interface.
c609719b 1955
bb99ad6d 1956 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
b37c7e5e 1957
945af8d7 1958 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
b37c7e5e
WD
1959 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1960 support for I2C.
c609719b 1961
945af8d7 1962 There are several other quantities that must also be
b37c7e5e 1963 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
c609719b 1964
6d0f6bcf 1965 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
945af8d7 1966 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
6d0f6bcf 1967 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
11ccc33f 1968 the CPU's i2c node address).
945af8d7 1969
8d321b81 1970 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
a47a12be 1971 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
8d321b81
PT
1972 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1973 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1974 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
c609719b 1975
5da71efa
EM
1976 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1977
1978 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1979 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1980 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1981 commands until the slave device responds.
1982
945af8d7 1983 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
c609719b 1984
b37c7e5e
WD
1985 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1986 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1987 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
c609719b
WD
1988
1989 I2C_INIT
1990
b37c7e5e 1991 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
43d9616c 1992 controller or configure ports.
c609719b 1993
ba56f625 1994 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
b37c7e5e 1995
c609719b
WD
1996 I2C_PORT
1997
43d9616c
WD
1998 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1999 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2000 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
c609719b
WD
2001
2002 I2C_ACTIVE
2003
2004 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2005 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2006 define can be null.
2007
b37c7e5e
WD
2008 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2009
c609719b
WD
2010 I2C_TRISTATE
2011
2012 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2013 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2014 define can be null.
2015
b37c7e5e
WD
2016 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2017
c609719b
WD
2018 I2C_READ
2019
472d5460
YS
2020 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2021 false if it is low.
c609719b 2022
b37c7e5e
WD
2023 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2024
c609719b
WD
2025 I2C_SDA(bit)
2026
472d5460
YS
2027 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2028 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2029
b37c7e5e 2030 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2535d602 2031 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
ba56f625 2032 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
b37c7e5e 2033
c609719b
WD
2034 I2C_SCL(bit)
2035
472d5460
YS
2036 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2037 is false, it clears it (low).
c609719b 2038
b37c7e5e 2039 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535d602 2040 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
ba56f625 2041 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
b37c7e5e 2042
c609719b
WD
2043 I2C_DELAY
2044
2045 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2046 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
b37c7e5e 2047 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
945af8d7
WD
2048 like:
2049
b37c7e5e 2050 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
c609719b 2051
793b5726
MF
2052 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2053
2054 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2055 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2056 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2057 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2058
2059 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2060 the generic GPIO functions.
2061
6d0f6bcf 2062 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
47cd00fa 2063
8bde7f77
WD
2064 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2065 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2066 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2067 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2068 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2069 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2070 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2071 is run early in the boot sequence.
47cd00fa 2072
26a33504
RR
2073 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2074
2075 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2076 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2077 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2078 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2079 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2080 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2081 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2082 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2083
17ea1177
WD
2084 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2085
2086 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2087 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2088 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2089
bb99ad6d
BW
2090 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2091
2092 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
c0f40859
WD
2093 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2094 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
bb99ad6d
BW
2095 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2096
6d0f6bcf 2097 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
bb99ad6d
BW
2098
2099 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
c0f40859 2100 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
0f89c54b
PT
2101 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2102 a 1D array of device addresses
bb99ad6d
BW
2103
2104 e.g.
2105 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
c0f40859 2106 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
bb99ad6d
BW
2107
2108 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2109
c0f40859 2110 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
6d0f6bcf 2111 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
bb99ad6d
BW
2112
2113 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2114
6d0f6bcf 2115 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
be5e6181
TT
2116
2117 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2118 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2119
6d0f6bcf 2120 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2121
2122 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2123 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2124
6d0f6bcf 2125 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
0dc018ec
SR
2126
2127 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2128 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2129
6d0f6bcf 2130 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
9ebbb54f
VG
2131
2132 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2133 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2134 specified DTT device.
2135
be5e6181
TT
2136 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2137
2138 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
7817cb20 2139 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
be5e6181 2140
67b23a32
HS
2141 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2142
2143 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2144 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2145 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2146 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2147 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2148 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2149
2150 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2151 feature!
2152
2153 Example:
2154 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2155 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2156 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2157
2158 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2159
2160 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2161 of I2C Busses with muxes:
2162
2163 => i2c bus
2164 Busses reached over muxes:
2165 Bus ID: 2
2166 reached over Mux(es):
2167 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2168 Bus ID: 3
2169 reached over Mux(es):
2170 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2171 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2172 =>
2173
2174 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
f9a78b8d
MJ
2175 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2176 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
67b23a32
HS
2177 the channel 4.
2178
2179 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
f9a78b8d 2180 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
67b23a32
HS
2181 the 2 muxes.
2182
2183 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2184 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2185 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2186 to add this option to other architectures.
2187
2ac6985a
AD
2188 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2189
2190 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2191 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2192 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2193 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2194 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2195 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2196 the other.

2218 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2219 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2220 defined, the board configuration must define several
2221 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For

c609719b 2254
6d0f6bcf 2255 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
c609719b 2256
8bde7f77 2257 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.

6d0f6bcf 2259 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
c609719b 2260
43d9616c
WD
2261 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2262 status by the configuration function. This option
2263 will require a board or device specific function to
2264 be written.
c609719b

2265
2266 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2267
2268 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2269 configuration driver.

2276 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2277 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2278 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2279 indicated a CRC error).

2283 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2284 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2285 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
11ccc33f 2286 ms.
c609719b 2287
6d0f6bcf 2288 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
c609719b 2289
43d9616c 2290 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
11ccc33f 2291 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
c609719b 2292
6d0f6bcf 2293 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
c609719b 2294
43d9616c 2295 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
11ccc33f 2296 200 ms.

2298- Configuration Management:
2299 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2300
43d9616c
WD
2301 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2302 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
c609719b
WD
2303
2304- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2305
43d9616c
WD
2306 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2307 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
7152b1d0 2308 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
43d9616c
WD
2309 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2310 protects these variables from casual modification by
2311 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2312 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
11ccc33f 2313 change this behaviour:
c609719b
WD
2314
2315 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2316 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
47cd00fa 2317 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
c609719b
WD
2318 these parameters.
2319
2320 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2321 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
11ccc33f 2322 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
c609719b
WD
2323 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2324 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2325 read-only.]
2326
2598090b
JH
2327 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2328 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2329 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2330 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2331
c609719b
WD
2332- Protected RAM:
2333 CONFIG_PRAM
2334
2335 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2336 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2337 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2338 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2339 this default value by defining an environment
2340 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2341 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2342 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2343 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2344 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2345 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2346 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2347
fe126d8b 2348 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
c609719b
WD
2349 saveenv
2350
2351 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2352 either, which results in a memory region that will
2353 not be affected by reboots.
2354
2355 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2356 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2357 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2358 following board configurations are known to be
2359 "pRAM-clean":
2360
1b0757ec
WD
2361 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2362 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,

c609719b 2364
40fef049
GB
2365- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2366 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2367 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2368 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2369 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2370 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2371 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2372
c609719b
WD
2373- Error Recovery:
2374 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2375
2376 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2377 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2378 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
11ccc33f 2379 system where you want the system to reboot
c609719b
WD
2380 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2381 useful during development since you can try to debug
2382 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2383
2384 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2385
43d9616c
WD
2386 This variable defines the number of retries for
2387 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2388 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2389 default value of 5 is used.
c609719b 2390

2391 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2392
2393 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.

TK
2395 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2396
2397 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2398 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2399 try longer timeout such as
2400 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

c609719b 2402- Command Interpreter:
8078f1a5 2403 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE

2408 for the "hush" shell.
8078f1a5
WD
2409
2410
6d0f6bcf 2411 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
c609719b
WD
2412
2413 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2414 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2415 powerful command line syntax like
2416 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2417 constructs ("shell scripts").
2418
2419 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2420 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2421
2422
6d0f6bcf 2423 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
c609719b
WD
2424
2425 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2426 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2427 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2428
2429 Note:
2430
8bde7f77
WD
2431 In the current implementation, the local variables
2432 space and global environment variables space are
2433 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2434 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2435 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2436 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2437 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
c609719b 2438
43d9616c
WD
2439 Global environment variables are those you use
2440 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2441 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2442 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
c609719b
WD
2443
2444 To store commands and special characters in a
2445 variable, please use double quotation marks
2446 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2447 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2448 symbols.

2450- Commandline Editing and History:
2451 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING

11ccc33f 2453 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
b9365a26 2454 commandline input operations
aa0c71ac 2455
a8c7c708 2456- Default Environment:
c609719b
WD
2457 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2458
43d9616c
WD
2459 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2460 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
7152b1d0 2461 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2262cfee 2462
43d9616c
WD
2463 For example, place something like this in your
2464 board's config file:
c609719b
WD
2465
2466 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2467 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2468 "myvar2=value2\0"
2469
43d9616c
WD
2470 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2471 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2472 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2473 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
7152b1d0 2474 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
c609719b
WD
2475 You better know what you are doing here.
2476
43d9616c
WD
2477 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2478 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
74de7aef 2479 the environment like the "source" command or the
43d9616c 2480 boot command first.
c609719b 2481

SW
2482 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2483
2484 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2485 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2486 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2487
2488 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2489
2490 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2491 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2492 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2493 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2494 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2495
7e27f89f
TR
2496 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2497
2498 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2499 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2500 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2501
06fd8538
SG
2502 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2503
2504 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2505 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2506 that so that the environment is not available until
2507 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2508 this is instead controlled by the value of
2509 /config/load-environment.
2510
a8c7c708 2511- DataFlash Support:
2abbe075
WD
2512 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2513
8bde7f77
WD
2514 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2515 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2516 commands cp, md...
2abbe075 2517
f61ec45e
EN
2518- Serial Flash support
2519 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2520
2521 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2522 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2523
2524 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2525 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2526 commands.
2527
2528 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2529 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2530 flash is present on the system.
2531
2532 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2533 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2534 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2535 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2536
24007273
SG
2537 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2538
2539 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2540 test ('sf test').
2541
1dcd6d03
JT
2542 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2543
2544 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2545 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2546
3f85ce27
WD
2547- SystemACE Support:
2548 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2549
2550 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2551 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
11ccc33f 2552 of the chip must also be defined in the
6d0f6bcf 2553 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3f85ce27
WD
2554
2555 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
6d0f6bcf 2556 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3f85ce27
WD
2557
2558 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2559 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2560
ecb0ccd9
WD
2561- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2562 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2563
28cb9375 2564 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
ecb0ccd9 2565 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
28cb9375 2566 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
ecb0ccd9
WD
2567 number generator is used.
2568
28cb9375
WD
2569 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2570 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2571 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2572
2573 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
ecb0ccd9
WD
2574 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2575 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2576 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2577 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2578 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2579 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2580
bf36c5d5
SG
2581- Hashing support:
2582 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2583
2584 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2585 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2586
2587 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2588
2589 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2590 size a little.
2591
2592 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2593 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2594
2595 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2596 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2597
19c402af
SG
2598- Signing support:
2599 CONFIG_RSA
2600
2601 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2602 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2603
2604 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2605 option.
2606
2607
a8c7c708 2608- Show boot progress:
c609719b
WD
2609 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2610
43d9616c
WD
2611 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2612 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2613 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2614 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2615 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2616 the following checkpoints are implemented:
c609719b 2617
3a608ca0
SG
2618- Detailed boot stage timing
2619 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2620 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2621 of the boot process.
2622
2623 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2624 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2625 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2626 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2627 the limit, recording will stop.
2628
2629 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2630 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2631
2632 Timer summary in microseconds:
2633 Mark Elapsed Stage
2634 0 0 reset
2635 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2636 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

2642
2eba38cf
SG
2643 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2644 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2645 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2646
94fd1316
SG
2647 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2648 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2649 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2650 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2651 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2652 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2653 For example:
2654
2655 bootstage {
2656 154 {
2657 name = "board_init_f";
2658 mark = <3575678>;
2659 };
2660 170 {
2661 name = "lcd";
2662 accum = <33482>;
2663 };
2664 };
2665
2666 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3133 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3134 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3135 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
11ccc33f 3136 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
43d9616c
WD
3137 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3138 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3139 initialization.
c609719b 3140
43d9616c
WD
3141 If there are no modem init strings in the
3142 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3143 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
11ccc33f 3144 suppressed, though.

3148Board initialization settings:
3149------------------------------
3150
3151During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3152to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3153before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3154following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3155architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3156typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3157
3158- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3159- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3160- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3161- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

3163Configuration Settings:
3164-----------------------
3165
6d0f6bcf 3166- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
c609719b
WD
3167 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3168
2fb2604d
PT
3169- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3170 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3171
6d0f6bcf 3172- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
c609719b
WD
3173 prompt for user input.
3174
6d0f6bcf 3175- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
c609719b 3176
6d0f6bcf 3177- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
c609719b 3178
6d0f6bcf 3179- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
c609719b 3180
6d0f6bcf 3181- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
c609719b
WD
3182 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3183 booted
3184
6d0f6bcf 3185- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
c609719b
WD
3186 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3187
6d0f6bcf 3188- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
8bde7f77 3189 Suppress display of console information at boot.
c609719b 3190
6d0f6bcf 3191- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
8bde7f77
WD
3192 If the board specific function
3193 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3194 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
c609719b
WD
3195 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3196
6d0f6bcf 3197- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
8bde7f77 3198 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
c609719b 3199
6d0f6bcf 3200- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
c609719b
WD
3201 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3202
6d0f6bcf 3203- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
c609719b
WD
3204 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3205 simple memory test.
3206
6d0f6bcf 3207- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
8bde7f77 3208 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
c609719b 3209
6d0f6bcf 3210- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
5f535fe1

JCPV
3214- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3215 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
14f73ca6 3216 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
11ccc33f 3217 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
14f73ca6
SR
3218 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3219 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3220 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
5e12e75d 3221 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
14f73ca6 3222 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
5e12e75d 3223 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
14f73ca6
SR
3224
3225 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3226 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3227 be touched.
3228
3229 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3230 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3231 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3232 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3233 problems.
3234
6d0f6bcf 3235- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
c609719b
WD
3236 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3237
6d0f6bcf 3238- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
c609719b

6d0f6bcf 3241- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3242 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3243 Cogent motherboard)
3244
6d0f6bcf 3245- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3246 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3247
6d0f6bcf 3248- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
c609719b
WD
3249 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3250 make config files to be same as the text base address
14d0a02a 3251 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
6d0f6bcf 3252 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
c609719b 3253
6d0f6bcf 3254- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
8bde7f77
WD
3255 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3256 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3257 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3258 flash sector.
c609719b 3259
6d0f6bcf 3260- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3261 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3262
6d0f6bcf 3263- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
15940c9a
SR
3264 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3265 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
6d0f6bcf 3266 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
15940c9a
SR
3267 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3268
6d0f6bcf 3269- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
c609719b
WD
3270 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3271 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
7d721e34
BS
3272 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3273 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3274 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3275 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
c0f40859 3276 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
c3624e6e
GL
3277 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3278 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3279 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
c609719b 3280
fca43cc8
JR
3281- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3282 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3283 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3284 is enabled.
3285
3286- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3287 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3288 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3289
3290- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3291 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3292 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3293
6d0f6bcf 3294- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
c609719b
WD
3295 Max number of Flash memory banks
3296
6d0f6bcf 3297- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
c609719b

3298 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3299
6d0f6bcf 3300- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3301 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)

6d0f6bcf 3303- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
c609719b
WD
3304 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)

3310 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3311
6d0f6bcf 3312- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
8564acf9
WD
3313 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3314 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3315
6d0f6bcf 3316- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
c609719b
WD
3317
3318 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3319 without this option such a download has to be
3320 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3321 copy from RAM to flash.
3322
3323 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3324 you can check if the download worked before you erase
11ccc33f
MZ
3325 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3326 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
c609719b
WD
3327 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3328
6d0f6bcf 3329- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
43d9616c 3330 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
5653fc33
WD
3331 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3332
00b1883a 3333- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
5653fc33

3334 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3335 in the drivers directory
c609719b 3336
91809ed5
PZ
3337- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3338 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3339 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3340 to the MTD layer.
3341
6d0f6bcf 3342- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
96ef831f
GL
3343 Use buffered writes to flash.
3344
3345- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N

3347 write commands.
3348
6d0f6bcf 3349- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
5568e613
SR
3350 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3351 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3352 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3353 optionally available.
3354
9a042e9c
JVB
3355- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3356 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3357 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3358 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3359
352ef3f1
SR
3360- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3361 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3362 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3363 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3364 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3365 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3366 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3367 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3368
6d0f6bcf 3369- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
11ccc33f
MZ
3370 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3371 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
53cf9435
SR
3372 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3373 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
11ccc33f 3374 on high Ethernet traffic.

3378
071bc923
WD
3379 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3380 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3381 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most

3387 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3388 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3389 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3390 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.

3417 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3418 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3419 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3420 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3421 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3422 ".flags" variable.

3428- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3429 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3430 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3431 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3432 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3433 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3434 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3435 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3436 your board please report the problem and send patches!

SG
3438- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3439 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3440 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3441 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3442 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.

3449The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3450of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3451following configurations:
3452
c3eb3fe4
MF
3453- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3454
3455 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3456 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3457
5a1aceb0 3458- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
c609719b
WD
3459
3460 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3461
3462 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3463 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3464 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3465 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3466 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3467 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3468 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3469 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3470 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3471 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3472 between U-Boot and the environment.
3473
0e8d1586 3474 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
c609719b
WD
3475
3476 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3477 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3478 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3479 for this sector is given here.
3480
6d0f6bcf 3481 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
c609719b 3482
0e8d1586 3483 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3484
3485 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3486 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
0e8d1586 3487 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
c609719b 3488
0e8d1586 3489 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3490
3491 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3492
3493
3494 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3495 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3496 the environment.
3497
0e8d1586 3498 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b 3499
5a1aceb0 3500 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
0e8d1586 3501 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
c609719b
WD
3502 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3503 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3504
3505 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3506 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3507 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3508 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3509 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3510 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3511 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3512 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3513 RAM, your target system will be dead.

c609719b 3517
43d9616c 3518 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
11ccc33f 3519 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3e38691e 3520 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
43d9616c 3521 a "saveenv" operation.

c609719b 3536
11ccc33f 3537 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
c609719b

3538 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3539 can just be read and written to, without any special
3540 provision.
3541
3542BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3543in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
11ccc33f 3544console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or

3547Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3548environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3549keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3550to save the current settings.

3558 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3559 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3560
3561 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3562 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3563
6d0f6bcf 3564 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
c609719b
WD
3565 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3566 The default address is zero.
3567
6d0f6bcf 3568 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
c609719b
WD
3569 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3570 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3571 would require six bits.
3572
6d0f6bcf 3573 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
c609719b 3574 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
ba56f625 3575 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
c609719b 3576
6d0f6bcf 3577 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
c609719b
WD
3578 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3579 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3580
6d0f6bcf 3581 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
5cf91d6b
WD
3582 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3583 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3584 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3585 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3586 byte chips.
3587
3588 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3589 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3590 in the chip address.
3591
6d0f6bcf 3592 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
c609719b
WD
3593 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.

3595 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3596 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3597 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3598
3599 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3600 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3601 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3602 EEPROM. For example:
3603
a9046b9e 3604 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
548738b4

LG
3622- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3623
3624 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3625 want to use for the local device's environment.
3626
3627 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3628 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3629
3630 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3631 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3632 local device can get the environment from remote memory
fc54c7fa 3633 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
0a85a9e7
LG
3634
3635BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3636"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
fc54c7fa
LG
3637environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3638but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

3648 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
fdd813de
SW
3649 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3650 aligned to an erase block boundary.
5779d8d9 3651
fdd813de 3652 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
e443c944 3653
0e8d1586 3654 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
fdd813de
SW
3655 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3656 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
c0f40859 3657 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
fdd813de
SW
3658 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3659
3660 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3661
3662 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3663 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3664 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3665 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3666 the range to be avoided.
3667
3668 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3669
3670 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3671 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3672 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3673 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3674 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
e443c944 3675
b74ab737
GL
3676- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3677
3678 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3679 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3680 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3681
2b74433f
JH
3682- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3683
3684 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3685 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3686 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3687
3688 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3689
3690 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3691
3692 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3693
3694 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3695 environment in.
3696
785881f7
JH
3697 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3698
3699 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3700 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3701 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3702
2b74433f
JH
3703 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3704 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3707 when storing the env in UBI.
3708
06e4ae5f
SW
3709- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3710
3711 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3712 environment.
3713
3714 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3715
3716 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3717
3718 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3719
3720 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3721 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3722 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3723
3724 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3725 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3726
3727 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3728 area within the specified MMC device.
3729
5c088ee8
SW
3730 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3731 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3732 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3733 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3734 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3735 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3736 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3737
06e4ae5f
SW
3738 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3739 MMC sector boundary.
3740
3741 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3742
3743 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3744 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3745 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3746 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3747
5c088ee8
SW
3748 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3749 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3750
06e4ae5f
SW
3751 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3752 an MMC sector boundary.
3753
3754 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3755
3756 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3757 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3758 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3759
6d0f6bcf 3760- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
c609719b
WD
3761
3762 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3763 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3764 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3765 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3766 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3767 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3768 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3769
e881cb56 3770Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
c609719b 3771has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
cdb74977 3772created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
c609719b
WD
3773until then to read environment variables.
3774
85ec0bcc
WD
3775The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3776is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3777with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3778necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3779"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3780have any device yet where we could complain.]
c609719b
WD
3781
3782Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3783the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
85ec0bcc 3784use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
c609719b 3785
6d0f6bcf 3786- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
42d1f039 3787 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
fc3e2165 3788
6d0f6bcf 3789 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
fc3e2165
WD
3790 also needs to be defined.
3791
6d0f6bcf 3792- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

3795- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3796 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3797 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3798 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
3799 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3800 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.

3802- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3803 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on

3805 to do this.
3806
e2e3e2b1
SG
3807- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3808 Similar to the previous option, but display this information

42d1f039
WD
3821 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,

3825- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3826 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3827 PowerPC SOCs.
3828
3829- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3830 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3831 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3832
3833 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3834 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3835
3836- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3837 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
3838 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
c0f40859 3839 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
e46fedfe
TT
3840 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
3841 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
3842 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3843
3844 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3845 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3846
3847- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4cf2609b
WD
3848 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
3849 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
e46fedfe
TT
3850 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3851 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3852
3853- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3854 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
3855 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3856 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3857
3858- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3859 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3860 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

7f6c2cbc 3881
6d0f6bcf 3882 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function

WD
3883 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC

3888- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3889 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3890 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3891 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3892 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3893 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3894 is requierd.

3905 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3906 will become available only after programming the
3907 memory controller and running certain initialization
3908 sequences.

3919 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
c609719b 3920 data is located at the end of the available space
553f0982 3921 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -

3926 Note:
3927 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3928 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
6d0f6bcf 3929 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
c609719b

WD
4079 to the given FEC; i. e.
4080 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
c26e454d

4096 The syntax is:
4097
4098 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4099

8aa1a2d1 4122- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
afc1ce82 4123 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
844f07d8
WD
4124 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4125 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4126 relocate itself into RAM.
4127
4128 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4129 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4130 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4131 these initializations itself.

SG
4143- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4144 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4145 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4146 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4147 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4148 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4149 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4150 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

4154 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4155 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4156 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4157
588a13f7

4167Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4168-----------------------------------
4169
4170The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4171loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4172This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4173are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4174within that device.
4175
4176- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4177 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4178 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4179 is also specified.
4180
4181- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4182 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4183 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4184 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4185 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4186
4187- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4188 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4189 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4190 virtual address in NOR flash.
4191
4192- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4193 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4194 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4195
4196- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4197 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4198 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4199
4200- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4201 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4202 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4203
292dc6c5
LG
4204- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4205 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4206 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
fc54c7fa
LG
4207 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4208 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4209 master's memory space.

4211Building the Software:
4212======================
4213
218ca724
WD
4214Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4215and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4216all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4217(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4218recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4219which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
c609719b 4220
218ca724
WD
4221If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4222have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4223you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4224Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4225necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
c609719b 4226
218ca724
WD
4227 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4228 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
c609719b 4229
2f8d396b
PT
4230Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4231 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4232 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4233 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4234
4235 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4236
4237 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4238 be executed on computers running Windows.
4239
218ca724
WD
4240U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4241sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
c609719b
WD
4242is done by typing:
4243
4244 make NAME_config
4245
218ca724 4246where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4d675ae6 4247rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
db01a2ea 4248
2729af9d
WD
4249Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4250 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4251 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4252 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
11ccc33f 4253 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
2729af9d
WD
4254
4255 make TQM823L_config
4256 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4257
4258 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4259 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4260
4261 etc.
4262
4263
4264Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4265images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4266
4267- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4268- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4269- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4270
baf31249
MB
4271By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4272in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4273this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4274
42751. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4276
4277 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4278 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4279 make O=/tmp/build all
4280
42812. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4282
4283 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4284 make distclean
4285 make NAME_config
4286 make all
4287
4288Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4289variable.
4290
2729af9d
WD
4291
4292Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4293for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4294native "make".
4295
4296
4297If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4298to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4299steps:
4300
43011. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4d675ae6
MJ
4302 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4303 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
2729af9d
WD
43042. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4305 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4306 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
43073. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4308 your board
43093. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4310 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
43114. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
43125. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4313 to be installed on your target system.
43146. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4315 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4316
4317
4318Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4319==============================================================
4320
218ca724
WD
4321If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4322or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2729af9d
WD
4323provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4324the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
218ca724 4325official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2729af9d 4326
218ca724
WD
4327But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4328cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2729af9d
WD
4329the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4330just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
218ca724
WD
4331for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4332select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4333environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4334you can type
2729af9d
WD
4335
4336 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4337
4338or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4339
4340 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4341
218ca724
WD
4342When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4343U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4344setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4345built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4346<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4347location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4348variable. For example:
baf31249
MB
4349
4350 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4351 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4352 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4353
218ca724
WD
4354With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4355log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4356during the whole build process.

4419Environment Variables:
4420======================
4421
4422U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4423can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
c609719b 4424
2729af9d
WD
4425Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4426"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4427without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4428environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4429working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4430environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
c609719b 4431
c96f86ee
WD
4432Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4433
4434List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
c609719b 4435
2729af9d 4436 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
c609719b 4437
2729af9d 4438 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
c609719b 4439
2729af9d 4440 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4a6fd34b 4441
2729af9d 4442 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
c609719b 4443
2729af9d 4444 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
c609719b 4445
7d721e34
BS
4446 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4447 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4448 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4449 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4450 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4451 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
c3624e6e
GL
4452 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4453 bootm_mapsize.
4454
c0f40859 4455 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
c3624e6e
GL
4456 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4457 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4458 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4459 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4460 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4461 used otherwise.
7d721e34
BS
4462
4463 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4464 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4465 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4466 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4467 environment variable.
4468
4bae9090
BS
4469 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4470 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4471 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4472
2729af9d
WD
4473 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4474 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4475 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4476 load any image using TFTP
c609719b 4477
2729af9d
WD
4478 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4479 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4480 be automatically started (by internally calling
4481 "bootm")
38b99261 4482
2729af9d
WD
4483 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4484 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4485 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4486 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4487 data.
c609719b 4488
a28afca5
DL
4489 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4490 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
fa34f6b2
SG
4491 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4492 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4493 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4494 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4495 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4496 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4497 access it during the boot procedure.
4498
a28afca5
DL
4499 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4500 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4501 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4502 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4503 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4504 must be accessible by the kernel.
4505
eea63e05
SG
4506 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4507 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4508 defined.
4509
17ea1177
WD
4510 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4511 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4512 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4513 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4514 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4515
2729af9d
WD
4516 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4517 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4518 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4519 is usually what you want since it allows for
4520 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4521 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
6d0f6bcf 4522 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2729af9d
WD
4523 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4524 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4525 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4526 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
c609719b 4527
2729af9d
WD
4528 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4529 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4530 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4531 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4532 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4533 12 MB as well - this can be done with
c609719b 4534
2729af9d 4535 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
c609719b 4536
2729af9d
WD
4537 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4538 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4539 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4540 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4541 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4542 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4543 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
c609719b 4544
2729af9d 4545 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
c609719b 4546
2729af9d
WD
4547 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4548 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
c609719b 4549
2729af9d 4550 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
a3d991bd 4551
2729af9d 4552 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
a3d991bd 4553
2729af9d 4554 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
a3d991bd 4555
2729af9d 4556 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
a3d991bd 4557
2729af9d 4558 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
c609719b 4559
e2a53458 4560 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
c609719b 4561
e2a53458
MF
4562 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4563 For example you can do the following
c609719b 4564
48690d80
HS
4565 => setenv ethact FEC
4566 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4567 => setenv ethact SCC
4568 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
c609719b 4569
e1692577
MF
4570 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4571 available network interfaces.
4572 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4573
c96f86ee 4574 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
2729af9d
WD
4575 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4576 When set to "once" the network operation will
4577 fail when all the available network interfaces
4578 are tried once without success.
4579 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4580 themselves.
c609719b 4581
b4e2f89d 4582 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
a1cf027a 4583
28cb9375 4584 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
ecb0ccd9
WD
4585 UDP source port.
4586
28cb9375
WD
4587 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4588 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4589
c96f86ee
WD
4590 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4591 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4592
4593 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4594 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4595 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4596 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4597 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4598 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4599 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4600
4601 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
11ccc33f 4602 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
2729af9d 4603 VLAN tagged frames.
c609719b 4604

4605The following image location variables contain the location of images
4606used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4607not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4608variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4609server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4610loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4611flash or offset in NAND flash.
4612
4613*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4614boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4615boards use these variables for other purposes.

4624The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4625updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4626depending the information provided by your boot server:
c609719b 4627
2729af9d

4628 bootfile - see above
4629 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4630 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4631 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4632 hostname - Target hostname
4633 ipaddr - see above
4634 netmask - Subnet Mask
4635 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4636 serverip - see above
c1551ea8 4637
c1551ea8 4638
2729af9d 4639There are two special Environment Variables:
c1551ea8 4640
2729af9d
WD
4641 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4642 as type string and/or serial number
4643 ethaddr - Ethernet address
c609719b 4644
2729af9d
WD
4645These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4646the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4647once they have been set once.
c609719b 4648
f07771cc 4649
2729af9d 4650Further special Environment Variables:
f07771cc 4651
2729af9d
WD
4652 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4653 with the "version" command. This variable is
4654 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

4661Callback functions for environment variables:
4662---------------------------------------------
4663
4664For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4665when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4666be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4667deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4668effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4669
4670The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4671U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4672
4673These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4674static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4675in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4676associations. The list must be in the following format:
4677
4678 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4679 list = entry[,list]
4680
4681If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4682Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4683
4684Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4685with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4686override any association in the static list. You can define
4687CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4688".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

4691Command Line Parsing:
4692=====================
f07771cc 4693
2729af9d
WD
4694There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4695the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
c609719b 4696
2729af9d
WD
4697Old, simple command line parser:
4698--------------------------------
c609719b 4699
2729af9d
WD
4700- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4701- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
fe126d8b 4702- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2729af9d
WD
4703- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4704 for example:
fe126d8b 4705 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2729af9d
WD
4706- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4707 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
c609719b 4708
2729af9d
WD
4709Hush shell:
4710-----------
c609719b 4711
2729af9d
WD
4712- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4713 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4714 until...do...done, ...
4715- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4716 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4717 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4718 command
4719
4720General rules:
4721--------------
c609719b 4722
2729af9d
WD
4723(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4724 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4725 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4726 executed anyway.
c609719b 4727
2729af9d 4728(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
11ccc33f 4729 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
2729af9d
WD
4730 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4731 variables are not executed.
c609719b 4732

WD
4733Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4734=======================================
c609719b 4735
11ccc33f 4736Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2729af9d
WD
4737such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4738"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
c609719b 4739
2729af9d
WD
4740Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4741MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4742"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
c609719b 4743
2729af9d
WD
4744If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4745in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4746ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4747variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
c609719b 4748
2729af9d
WD
4749o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4750 environment, the SROM's address is used.
c609719b 4751
2729af9d
WD
4752o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4753 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4754 used.
c609719b 4755
2729af9d
WD
4756o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4757 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
c609719b 4758
2729af9d
WD
4759o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4760 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4761 warning is printed.
c609719b 4762
2729af9d
WD
4763o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4764 is raised.
c609719b 4765
ecee9324 4766If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
c0f40859 4767will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
ecee9324
BW
4768may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4769The naming convention is as follows:
4770"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

4775U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4776images in two formats:
4777
4778New uImage format (FIT)
4779-----------------------
4780
4781Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4782to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4783components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4784SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4785
4786
4787Old uImage format
4788-----------------
4789
4790Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4791preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4792details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4813Linux Support:
4814==============
c609719b 4815
2729af9d
WD
4816Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4817easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4818U-Boot.
c609719b 4819
2729af9d
WD
4820U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4821special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4822"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4823instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4824serves several purposes:
c609719b 4825
2729af9d
WD
4826- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4827 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4828 Flash memory footprint)
c609719b 4829
2729af9d
WD
4830- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4831 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
c609719b 4832
2729af9d
WD
4833- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4834 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4835 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4836 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4837 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4838 software is easier now.

4841Linux HOWTO:
4842============
c609719b 4843
2729af9d
WD
4844Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4845---------------------------------------
c609719b 4846
2729af9d
WD
4847U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4848configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4849(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4850Linux :-).
c609719b 4851
a47a12be 4852But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
24ee89b9 4853
2729af9d
WD
4854Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4855include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
1dc30693
MH
4856Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4857and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
6d0f6bcf 4858as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
24ee89b9 4859
c609719b 4860
2729af9d
WD
4861Configuring the Linux kernel:
4862-----------------------------
c609719b 4863
2729af9d
WD
4864No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4865device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4866
4867
4868Building a Linux Image:
4869-----------------------
c609719b 4870
2729af9d
WD
4871With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4872not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4873"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4874U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4875which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4876100% compatible format.
4877
4878Example:
4879
4880 make TQM850L_config
4881 make oldconfig
4882 make dep
4883 make uImage
4884
4885The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4886encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
4887CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4888
4889* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4890
4891* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4892
4893 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4894 -R .note -R .comment \
4895 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4896
4897* compress the binary image:
4898
4899 gzip -9 linux.bin
4900
4901* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4902
4903 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4904 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4905 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
c609719b 4906
c609719b 4907
2729af9d
WD
4908The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4909with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4910combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4911byte header containing information about target architecture,
4912operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4913stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4914
4915"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4916print the header information, or to build new images.
4917
4918In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4919contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4920checksum verification:
c609719b 4921
2729af9d
WD
4922 tools/mkimage -l image
4923 -l ==> list image header information
4924
4925The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4926from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4927
4928 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4929 -n name -d data_file image
4930 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4931 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4932 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4933 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4934 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4935 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4936 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4937 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4938
69459791
WD
4939Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4940address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4941kernel version:
2729af9d
WD
4942
4943- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4944- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4945
4946So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4947
4948 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4949 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4950 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
2729af9d

4956 Load Address: 0x00000000
4957 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4958
4959To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4960

4966 Load Address: 0x00000000
4967 Entry Point: 0x00000000
4968
4969NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4970speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4971needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4972need to be uncompressed:
4973
a47a12be 4974 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
2729af9d
WD
4975 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4976 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
a47a12be 4977 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

4987Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file

4999

5001Installing a Linux Image:
5002-------------------------
5003
5004To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5005you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5006
5007 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5008
5009The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5010image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5011address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5012specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5013command.
5014
5015Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5016TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5017
5018 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5019
5020 .......... done
5021 Erased 8 sectors
5022
5023 => loads 40100000
5024 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5032
5033
5034You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
218ca724 5035this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

5050-----------
5051
5052The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5053memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5054of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5055parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5056"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5057
5058
5059 => printenv bootargs
5060 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5061
5062 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5181More About U-Boot Image Types:
5182------------------------------
5183
5184U-Boot supports the following image types:
5185
5186 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5187 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5188 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5189 the Standalone Program.
5190 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5191 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5192 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5193 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5194 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5195 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5196 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5197 being started.
5198 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5199 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5200 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5201 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5202 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5203 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5204
5205 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5206 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5207 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5208 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5209 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5210 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5211
5212 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5213 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5214 flash memory.
5215
5216 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5217 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5218 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5219 as command interpreter.

5221Booting the Linux zImage:
5222-------------------------
5223
5224On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5225using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5226as the syntax of "bootm" command.

5234Standalone HOWTO:
5235=================
5236
5237One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5238run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5239U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5240
5241Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5242
5243"Hello World" Demo:
5244-------------------
5245
5246'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5247application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5248It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5249like that:
5250
5251 => loads
5252 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5253 ~>examples/hello_world.srec
5254 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5255 [file transfer complete]
5256 [connected]
5257 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5258
5259 => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5260 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5261 Hello World
5262 argc = 7
5263 argv[0] = "40004"
5264 argv[1] = "Hello"
5265 argv[2] = "World!"
5266 argv[3] = "This"
5267 argv[4] = "is"
5268 argv[5] = "a"
5269 argv[6] = "test."
5270 argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5271 Hit any key to exit ...
5272
5273 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5274
5275Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5276handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5277Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5278The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5279character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5280controlled by the following keys:
5281
5282 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5283 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5284 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5285 q - quit application
5286
5287 => loads

5322Minicom warning:
5323================
5324
5325Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5326"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5327consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5328Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5329especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
e53515a2
KP
5330use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5331http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5332for help with kermit.
5333

5335Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5336configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:

5343NetBSD Notes:
5344=============
5345
5346Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5347(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5348
5349Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5350NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5351need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5352Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5353attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5354missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5355
5356 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5357 # mkdir powerpc
5358 # ln -s powerpc machine
5359 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5360 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5361
5362Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5363and U-Boot include files.
5364
5365Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5366stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5367proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5368tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2a8af187 5369meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5372Implementation Internals:
5373=========================
5374
5375The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5376implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5377inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5378hardware.
5379
5380
5381Initial Stack, Global Data:
5382---------------------------
5383
5384The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5385starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5386system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5387This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5388is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5389at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5390options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5391models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5392MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5393locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5394
218ca724 5395 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
0668236b 5396 U-Boot mailing list:

5401 ...
5402
5403 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5404 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5405 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5406 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5407 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
11ccc33f 5408 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
2729af9d
WD
5409 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5410 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5411
5412 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5413 is another option for the system designer to use as an
11ccc33f 5414 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
2729af9d
WD
5415 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5416 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5417 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5418 used.
5419
6d0f6bcf 5420 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
2729af9d
WD
5421 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5422 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
8a316c9b 5423 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
2729af9d
WD
5424 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5425 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5426 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5427 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5428 you get the config right.

5432
5433It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5434code for the initialization procedures:
5435
5436* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5437 to write it.
5438
11ccc33f 5439* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2729af9d
WD
5440 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5441 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5442
5443* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5444 that.
5445
5446Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5447normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5448turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5449simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5450functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5451functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5452the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5453place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5454reserve for this purpose.
5455
5456When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5457relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5458GCC's implementation.
5459
5460For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5461 R1: stack pointer
e7670f6c 5462 R2: reserved for system use
2729af9d
WD
5463 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5464 R5-R10: parameter passing
5465 R13: small data area pointer
5466 R30: GOT pointer
5467 R31: frame pointer
5468
e6bee808
JT
5469 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5470 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5471 going back and forth between asm and C)
2729af9d 5472
e7670f6c 5473 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
2729af9d
WD
5474
5475 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5476 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5477 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5478 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5479 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5480 624 text + 127 data).

5525
5526Memory Management:
5527------------------
5528
5529U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5530MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5531
5532The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5533controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5534memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5535physical memory banks.
5536
5537U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5538TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5539booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5540to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6d0f6bcf 5541memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
2729af9d
WD
5542configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5543Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5544
5545Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5546of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5547
5548So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5549this:
5550
5551 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5552 :
5553 0x0000 1FFF
5554 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5555 :
5556 :
5557
5558 :
5559 :
5560 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5561 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5562 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5563 :
5564 0x00FD FFFF
5565 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5566 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5567 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5568 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5569
5570
5571System Initialization:
5572----------------------
c609719b 5573
2729af9d 5574In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
11ccc33f 5575(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2729af9d
WD
5576configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5577To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5578To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5579initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5580which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5581part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5582the caches and the SIU.
5583
5584Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5585preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5586(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5587on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5588programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5589simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5590banks.
5591
5592When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5593different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5594bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
55950x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5596contiguous memory starting from 0.
5597
5598Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5599and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5600Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5601pages, and the final stack is set up.
5602
5603Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5604until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5605running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5606new address in RAM.

5690Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5691MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5692reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5693sources.
5694
5695Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5696Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5697in your code.

2729af9d 5702- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
7ca9296e 5703- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
2729af9d 5704- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

5713Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5714establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5715may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
c609719b 5716
0d28f34b 5717Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.

5722When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5723it:
c609719b 5724
2729af9d
WD
5725* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5726 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5727 patch actually fixes something.
c609719b 5728
2729af9d
WD
5729* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5730 implementation.
c609719b 5731
2729af9d 5732* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
c609719b 5733
2729af9d 5734* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
c609719b 5735
2729af9d 5736* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
7ca9296e 5737 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
c609719b 5738
2729af9d
WD
5739* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5740 document these in the README file.
c609719b 5741

WD
5742* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5743 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
7ca9296e 5744 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
218ca724
WD
5745 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5746 with some other mail clients.
5747
5748 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5749 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5750 GNU diff.
c609719b 5751
218ca724
WD
5752 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5753 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5754 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5755 affected files).

5757 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5758 and compressed attachments must not be used.
c609719b 5759
2729af9d
WD
5760* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5761 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
52f52c14 5762
2729af9d
WD
5763* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5764 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

2729af9d 5767Notes:
c609719b 5768
2729af9d
WD
5769* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5770 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5771 for any of the boards.
c609719b 5772
2729af9d
WD
5773* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5774 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5775 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
c609719b 5776

WD
5777* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5778 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5779 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5780 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5781 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5782 modification.

5784* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5785 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5786 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5787 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
