9 | ======== | |
10 | ||
24ee89b9 | 11 | This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for |
e86e5a07 WD |
12 | Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other |
13 | processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to | |
14 | initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application | |
15 | code. | |
c609719b WD |
16 | |
17 | The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of | |
24ee89b9 WD |
18 | the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some |
19 | header files in common, and special provision has been made to | |
c609719b WD |
20 | support booting of Linux images. |
21 | ||
22 | Some attention has been paid to make this software easily | |
23 | configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are | |
24 | implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to | |
25 | add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used | |
26 | code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can | |
27 | load and run it dynamically. | |
28 | ||
29 | ||
30 | Status: | |
31 | ======= | |
32 | ||
33 | In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the | |
24ee89b9 | 34 | Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered |
c609719b WD |
35 | "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. |
36 | ||
24ee89b9 | 37 | In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out |
27af930e | 38 | who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board |
218ca724 | 39 | maintainers. |

42 | it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: | |

225 | Software Configuration: |
226 | ======================= | |
227 | ||
228 | Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the | |
229 | rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. | |
230 | ||
231 | There are two classes of configuration variables: | |
232 | ||
233 | * Configuration _OPTIONS_: | |
234 | These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with | |
235 | "CONFIG_". | |
236 | ||
237 | * Configuration _SETTINGS_: | |
238 | These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if | |
239 | you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with | |
6d0f6bcf | 240 | "CONFIG_SYS_". |
c609719b WD |
241 | |
242 | Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even | |
243 | identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to | |
244 | do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic | |
245 | links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards | |
246 | as an example here. | |
247 | ||
248 | ||
249 | Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: | |
250 | --------------------------------------------------- | |
251 | ||
252 | For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default | |
ab584d67 | 253 | configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". |
c609719b WD |
254 | |
255 | Example: For a TQM823L module type: | |
256 | ||
257 | cd u-boot | |
ab584d67 | 258 | make TQM823L_defconfig |
c609719b | 259 | |
11ccc33f | 260 | For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; |
ab584d67 | 261 | e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent |
c609719b WD |
262 | directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. |
263 | ||
264 | ||

265 | Sandbox Environment: |
266 | -------------------- | |
267 | ||
268 | U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' | |
269 | board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- | |
270 | specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to | |
271 | run some of U-Boot's tests. | |
272 | ||
6b1978f8 | 273 | See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details. |

db910353 SG |
276 | Board Initialisation Flow: |
277 | -------------------------- | |
278 | ||
279 | This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both | |
280 | SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL | |
281 | mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each | |
282 | function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this. | |
283 | At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this. | |
284 | ||
285 | Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after | |
286 | that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below. | |
287 | ||
288 | lowlevel_init(): | |
289 | - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f() | |
290 | - no global_data or BSS | |
291 | - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed) | |
292 | - must not set up SDRAM or use console | |
293 | - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to | |
294 | board_init_f() | |
295 | - this is almost never needed | |
296 | - return normally from this function | |
297 | ||
298 | board_init_f(): | |
299 | - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r(): | |
300 | i.e. SDRAM and serial UART | |
301 | - global_data is available | |
302 | - stack is in SRAM | |
303 | - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables, | |
304 | only stack variables and global_data | |
305 | ||
306 | Non-SPL-specific notes: | |
307 | - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this | |
308 | can do nothing | |
309 | ||
310 | SPL-specific notes: | |
311 | - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own | |
312 | version as needed. | |
313 | - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis | |
314 | - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work | |
315 | - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S | |
316 | - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r() | |
317 | directly) | |
318 | ||
319 | Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at | |
320 | this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below | |
321 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of | |
322 | memory. | |
323 | ||
324 | board_init_r(): | |
325 | - purpose: main execution, common code | |
326 | - global_data is available | |
327 | - SDRAM is available | |
328 | - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used | |
329 | - execution eventually continues to main_loop() | |
330 | ||
331 | Non-SPL-specific notes: | |
332 | - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from | |
333 | there. | |
334 | ||
335 | SPL-specific notes: | |
336 | - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and | |
337 | CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM | |
338 | - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is | |
339 | done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a | |
340 | spl_board_init() function containing this call | |
341 | - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux | |
342 | ||
343 | ||
344 | ||
c609719b WD |
345 | Configuration Options: |
346 | ---------------------- | |
347 | ||
348 | Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all | |
349 | such information is kept in a configuration file | |
350 | "include/configs/<board_name>.h". | |
351 | ||
352 | Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in | |
353 | "include/configs/TQM823L.h". | |
354 | ||
355 | ||
7f6c2cbc WD |
356 | Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux |
357 | kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to | |
358 | build a config tool - later. | |
359 | ||
360 | ||
c609719b WD |
361 | The following options need to be configured: |
362 | ||
2628114e KP |
363 | - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. |
364 | ||
365 | - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. | |
6ccec449 WD |
366 | |
367 | - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) | |
09ea0de0 | 368 | Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 |
c609719b WD |
369 | |
370 | - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) | |
371 | Define exactly one of | |
372 | CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD | |
373 | --- FIXME --- not tested yet: | |
374 | CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, | |
375 | CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 | |
376 | ||
377 | - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) | |
378 | Define exactly one of | |
379 | CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 | |
380 | ||
381 | - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) | |
382 | Define one or more of | |
383 | CONFIG_CMA302 | |
384 | ||
385 | - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) | |
386 | Define one or more of | |
387 | CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on | |
11ccc33f | 388 | the LCD display every second with |
c609719b WD |
389 | a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ |
390 | ||
cf946c6d LW |
391 | - Marvell Family Member |
392 | CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable | |
393 | multiple fs option at one time | |
394 | for marvell soc family | |
395 | ||
11ccc33f | 396 | - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) |
66ca92a5 WD |
397 | CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if |
398 | get_gclk_freq() cannot work | |
5da627a4 WD |
399 | e.g. if there is no 32KHz |
400 | reference PIT/RTC clock | |
66ca92a5 WD |
401 | CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK |
402 | or XTAL/EXTAL) | |
c609719b | 403 | |
66ca92a5 | 404 | - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
405 | CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN |
406 | CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX | |
66ca92a5 | 407 | CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT |
75d1ea7f WD |
408 | See doc/README.MPC866 |
409 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 410 | CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK |
75d1ea7f | 411 | |
ba56f625 WD |
412 | Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead |
413 | of relying on the correctness of the configured | |
414 | values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure | |
415 | the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note | |

c609719b WD |
717 | CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ |
718 | ||
719 | U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz | |
720 | internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux | |
721 | kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the | |
722 | bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable | |
723 | "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot | |
724 | converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the | |
725 | Linux kernel. | |
c609719b | 726 | When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of |
218ca724 | 727 | "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the |

3887c3fb HS |
774 | CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP |
775 | ||
776 | U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. | |
777 | If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot | |
778 | removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, | |
779 | so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and | |
780 | crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where | |
781 | no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. | |
782 | ||
7eb29398 IG |
783 | CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] |
784 | ||
785 | This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one | |
786 | machine type and must be used to specify the machine type | |
787 | number as it appears in the ARM machine registry | |
788 | (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). | |
789 | Only boards that have multiple machine types supported | |
790 | in a single configuration file and the machine type is | |
791 | runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. | |

836 | CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS | |
837 | ||
838 | If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, | |
839 | define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) | |
840 | port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h | |
841 | ||
910f1ae3 JR |
842 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR |
843 | ||
844 | Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) | |
845 | have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set | |
846 | this variable to initialize the extra register. | |
847 | ||
848 | CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT | |
849 | ||
850 | On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage | |
851 | boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this | |
852 | variable to flush the UART at init time. | |

c609719b | 859 | - Console Interface: |
43d9616c WD |
860 | Depending on board, define exactly one serial port |
861 | (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, | |
862 | CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial | |
863 | console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE | |
c609719b WD |
864 | |
865 | Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial | |
866 | port routines must be defined elsewhere | |
867 | (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) | |
868 | ||

908 | When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support |
909 | a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, | |
910 | erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). | |
911 | ||
43d9616c WD |
912 | When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is |
913 | default i/o. Serial console can be forced with | |
914 | environment 'console=serial'. | |
c609719b | 915 | |
d4ca31c4 WD |
916 | When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console |

932 | - Console Rx buffer length |
933 | With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define | |
934 | the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. | |
2b3f12c2 | 935 | This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. |
c92fac91 HS |
936 | If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE |
937 | must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for | |
938 | the SMC. | |
939 | ||
9558b48a | 940 | - Pre-Console Buffer: |
4cf2609b WD |
941 | Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART |
942 | initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. | |
943 | Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to | |
944 | buffer any console messages prior to the console being | |
945 | initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ | |
946 | bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is | |
947 | a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ | |
6feff899 | 948 | bytes are output before the console is initialised, the |
4cf2609b WD |
949 | earlier bytes are discarded. |
950 | ||
a8552c7c HG |
951 | Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the |
952 | stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack. | |
953 | ||
4cf2609b WD |
954 | 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if |
955 | CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 | |
9558b48a | 956 | |
046a37bd SR |
957 | - Safe printf() functions |
958 | Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of | |
959 | the printf() functions. These are defined in | |
960 | include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and | |
961 | so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. | |
962 | If this option is not given then these functions will | |
963 | silently discard their buffer size argument - this means | |
964 | you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. | |
965 | ||
c609719b WD |
966 | - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds |
967 | Delay before automatically booting the default image; | |
968 | set to -1 to disable autoboot. | |
93d7212f JH |
969 | set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort |
970 | (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). | |
c609719b WD |
971 | |
972 | See doc/README.autoboot for these options that | |
973 | work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. | |

983 | - Autoboot Command: | |
984 | CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND | |
985 | Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; | |
986 | define a command string that is automatically executed | |
987 | when no character is read on the console interface | |
988 | within "Boot Delay" after reset. | |
989 | ||
990 | CONFIG_BOOTARGS | |
43d9616c WD |
991 | This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm |
992 | command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the | |
993 | environment value "bootargs". | |
c609719b WD |
994 | |
995 | CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT | |
43d9616c WD |
996 | The value of these goes into the environment as |
997 | "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used | |
998 | as a convenience, when switching between booting from | |
11ccc33f | 999 | RAM and NFS. |
c609719b | 1000 | |
eda0ba38 HS |
1001 | - Bootcount: |
1002 | CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT | |
1003 | Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot | |
1004 | cycle, see: | |
1005 | http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit | |
1006 | ||
1007 | CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV | |
1008 | If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware | |
1009 | "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a | |
1010 | saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable | |
1011 | "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is | |
1012 | 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is | |
1013 | 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. | |
1014 | So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" | |
1015 | and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. | |
1016 | ||
c609719b WD |
1017 | - Pre-Boot Commands: |
1018 | CONFIG_PREBOOT | |
1019 | ||
1020 | When this option is #defined, the existence of the | |
1021 | environment variable "preboot" will be checked | |
1022 | immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY | |
1023 | countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. | |
1024 | entering interactive mode. | |
1025 | ||
1026 | This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is | |
1027 | automatically generated or modified. For an example | |
1028 | see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is | |
1029 | modified when the user holds down a certain | |
1030 | combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when | |
1031 | booting the systems | |
1032 | ||
1033 | - Serial Download Echo Mode: | |
1034 | CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO | |
1035 | If defined to 1, all characters received during a | |
1036 | serial download (using the "loads" command) are | |
1037 | echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal | |
1038 | emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take | |
1039 | time on others. This setting #define's the initial | |
1040 | value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. | |
1041 | ||
602ad3b3 | 1042 | - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) |
c609719b WD |
1043 | CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE |
1044 | Select one of the baudrates listed in | |

1196 | compiled #defines in the board file. This option is | |
1197 | experimental and only available on a few boards. The device | |
1198 | tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. | |
1199 | ||
2c0f79e4 SG |
1200 | U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can |
1201 | be done using one of the two options below: | |
bbb0b128 SG |
1202 | |
1203 | CONFIG_OF_EMBED | |
1204 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree | |
1205 | binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the | |
1206 | board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file | |
1207 | is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through | |
1208 | the global data structure as gd->blob. | |
45ba8077 | 1209 | |
2c0f79e4 SG |
1210 | CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE |
1211 | If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree | |
1212 | binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific | |
1213 | code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: | |
1214 | ||
1215 | cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin | |
1216 | ||
1217 | and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called | |
1218 | u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can | |
1219 | still use the individual files if you need something more | |
1220 | exotic. | |
1221 | ||
c609719b WD |
1222 | - Watchdog: |
1223 | CONFIG_WATCHDOG | |
1224 | If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog | |
6abe6fb6 DZ |
1225 | support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC |
1226 | specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 | |
1227 | CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR | |
1228 | register. When supported for a specific SoC is | |
1229 | available, then no further board specific code should | |
1230 | be needed to use it. | |
1231 | ||
1232 | CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG | |
1233 | When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used | |
1234 | SoC, then define this variable and provide board | |
1235 | specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. | |
c609719b | 1236 | |
7bae0d6f HS |
1237 | CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT |
1238 | specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds. | |
1239 | ||
c1551ea8 SR |
1240 | - U-Boot Version: |
1241 | CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE | |
1242 | If this variable is defined, an environment variable | |
1243 | named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot | |
1244 | version as printed by the "version" command. | |
a1ea8e51 BT |
1245 | Any change to this variable will be reverted at the |
1246 | next reset. | |
c1551ea8 | 1247 | |
c609719b WD |
1248 | - Real-Time Clock: |
1249 | ||

1276 | chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of | |
1277 | pins supported by a particular chip. | |
1278 | ||
e92739d3 PT |
1279 | Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface |
1280 | must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. | |
1281 | ||
aa53233a SG |
1282 | - I/O tracing: |
1283 | When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O | |
1284 | accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out | |
1285 | to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is | |
1286 | useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that | |
1287 | the driver behaves the same way before and after a code | |
1288 | change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To | |
1289 | add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' | |
1290 | to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. | |
1291 | ||
1292 | Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. | |
1293 | Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will | |
1294 | still continue to operate. | |
1295 | ||
1296 | iotrace is enabled | |
1297 | Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) | |
1298 | Size: 00010000 (buffer size) | |
1299 | Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) | |
1300 | Output: 10000120 (start + offset) | |
1301 | Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) | |
1302 | CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) | |
1303 | ||

16c8d5e7 | 1607 | |
386eda02 | 1608 | If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to |
16c8d5e7 | 1609 | define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h |
386eda02 | 1610 | or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define |
16c8d5e7 WD |
1611 | CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, |
1612 | CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot | |
1613 | should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. | |
1614 | ||
1615 | CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER | |
1616 | Define this string as the name of your company for | |
1617 | - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" | |

1634 | - ULPI Layer Support: |
1635 | The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via | |
1636 | the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY | |
1637 | via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and | |
1638 | the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based | |
1639 | viewport is supported. | |
1640 | To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and | |
1641 | CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. | |
6d365ea0 LS |
1642 | If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the |
1643 | standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to | |
1644 | the appropriate value in Hz. | |

1691 | Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but | |
1692 | allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, | |
1693 | one that would help mostly the developer. | |
1694 | ||
e7e75c70 HS |
1695 | CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE |
1696 | Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the | |
1697 | raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer | |
1698 | configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable | |
1699 | through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. | |
1700 | ||
ea2453d5 PA |
1701 | CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE |
1702 | When updating files rather than the raw storage device, | |
1703 | we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write | |
1704 | the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define | |
1705 | this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. | |
1706 | Default is 4 MiB if undefined. | |
1707 | ||
001a8319 HS |
1708 | DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT |
1709 | Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the | |
1710 | host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending | |
1711 | a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. | |
1712 | ||
1713 | DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT | |
1714 | Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when | |
1715 | entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before | |
1716 | sending again an USB request to the device. | |

1735 | downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for | |
1736 | downloaded images. | |
1737 | ||
1738 | CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE | |
1739 | The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for | |
1740 | downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a | |
1741 | platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot. | |
d1b5ed07 SR |
1742 | |
1743 | CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH | |
1744 | The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing | |
1745 | the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define | |
1746 | this to enable the "fastboot flash" command. | |
1747 | ||
1748 | CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV | |
1749 | The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information | |
1750 | regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to | |

1753 | CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME |
1754 | The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded | |
1755 | image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition | |
1756 | Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed | |
1757 | to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.) | |
1758 | This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the | |
1759 | "fastboot flash" command line matches this value. | |
1760 | Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined. | |
1761 | ||

1773 | function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) | |
1774 | ||
1775 | If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to | |
6d0f6bcf | 1776 | #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 |
6705d81e WD |
1777 | to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you |
1778 | have not defined a custom partition | |

676d319e SG |
1939 | CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT |
1940 | ||
b445bbb4 | 1941 | Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is |
676d319e SG |
1942 | defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. |
1943 | For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE | |
1944 | here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on | |
1945 | a per-section basis. | |
1946 | ||
0d89efef SG |
1947 | CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES |
1948 | ||
1949 | When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of | |
1950 | lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes | |
1951 | the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling | |
1952 | is slow. | |
676d319e | 1953 | |
604c7d4a HP |
1954 | CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION |
1955 | ||
1956 | Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait | |
1957 | mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree, | |
1958 | we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the | |
1959 | framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are | |
1960 | printed out. | |
1961 | Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be | |
1962 | initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of | |
1963 | "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code. | |
1964 | The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to | |
1965 | fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline): | |
1966 | 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree | |
1967 | 1 = 90 degree rotation | |
1968 | 2 = 180 degree rotation | |
1969 | 3 = 270 degree rotation | |
1970 | ||
1971 | If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be | |
1972 | initialized with 0degree rotation. | |
1973 | ||
45d7f525 TWHT |
1974 | CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 |
1975 | ||
1976 | Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. | |
1977 | ||
735987c5 TWHT |
1978 | CONFIG_I2C_EDID |
1979 | ||
1980 | Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID | |
1981 | information over I2C from an attached LCD display. | |
1982 | ||
7152b1d0 | 1983 | - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN |
d791b1dc | 1984 | |
8bde7f77 WD |
1985 | If this option is set, the environment is checked for |
1986 | a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display | |
1987 | of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD | |
e94d2cd9 | 1988 | is suppressed and the BMP image at the address |
8bde7f77 WD |
1989 | specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The |
1990 | console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This | |
1991 | allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is | |
1992 | loaded very quickly after power-on. | |
d791b1dc | 1993 | |
c0880485 NK |
1994 | CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD |
1995 | ||
1996 | If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment | |
1997 | variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address | |
1551df35 | 1998 | (see README.displaying-bmps). |
c0880485 NK |
1999 | This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment |
2000 | restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data | |
2001 | abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned | |
2002 | accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) | |
2003 | there is no need to set this option. | |
2004 | ||
1ca298ce MW |
2005 | CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN |
2006 | ||
2007 | If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned | |
2008 | on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the | |
2009 | position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as | |
2010 | number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it | |
2011 | is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also | |
2012 | specify 'm' for centering the image. | |
2013 | ||
2014 | Example: | |
2015 | setenv splashpos m,m | |
2016 | => image at center of screen | |
2017 | ||
2018 | setenv splashpos 30,20 | |
2019 | => image at x = 30 and y = 20 | |
2020 | ||
2021 | setenv splashpos -10,m | |
2022 | => vertically centered image | |
2023 | at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 | |
2024 | ||
98f4a3df SR |
2025 | - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP |
2026 | ||
2027 | If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP | |
2028 | images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the | |
2029 | splashscreen support or the bmp command. | |
2030 | ||
d5011762 AG |
2031 | - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 |
2032 | ||
2033 | If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images | |
2034 | can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the | |
2035 | bmp command. | |
2036 | ||
b445bbb4 | 2037 | - Do compressing for memory range: |
f2b96dfb LW |
2038 | CONFIG_CMD_ZIP |
2039 | ||
2040 | If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method | |
2041 | to compress the specified memory at its best effort. | |
2042 | ||
c29fdfc1 | 2043 | - Compression support: |
8ef70478 KC |
2044 | CONFIG_GZIP |
2045 | ||
2046 | Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. | |
2047 | ||
c29fdfc1 WD |
2048 | CONFIG_BZIP2 |
2049 | ||
2050 | If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed | |
2051 | images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip | |
2052 | compressed images are supported. | |
2053 | ||
42d1f039 | 2054 | NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so |
6d0f6bcf | 2055 | the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should |
42d1f039 | 2056 | be at least 4MB. |
d791b1dc | 2057 | |
fc9c1727 LCM |
2058 | CONFIG_LZMA |
2059 | ||
2060 | If this option is set, support for lzma compressed | |
2061 | images is included. | |
2062 | ||
2063 | Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it | |
2064 | requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the | |
2065 | formula: | |
2066 | ||
2067 | (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) | |
2068 | ||
2069 | Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits | |
2070 | and Literal pos bits. | |
2071 | ||
2072 | This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, | |
2073 | for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a | |
2074 | total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is | |
2075 | a very small buffer. | |
2076 | ||
2077 | Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and | |
2078 | then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring | |
6d0f6bcf | 2079 | the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). |
fc9c1727 | 2080 | |
8ef70478 KC |
2081 | CONFIG_LZO |
2082 | ||
2083 | If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images | |
2084 | is included. | |
2085 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
2086 | - MII/PHY support: |
2087 | CONFIG_PHY_ADDR | |
2088 | ||
2089 | The address of PHY on MII bus. | |
2090 | ||
2091 | CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) | |
2092 | ||
2093 | The clock frequency of the MII bus | |
2094 | ||
2095 | CONFIG_PHY_GIGE | |
2096 | ||
2097 | If this option is set, support for speed/duplex | |
11ccc33f | 2098 | detection of gigabit PHY is included. |
17ea1177 WD |
2099 | |
2100 | CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY | |
2101 | ||
2102 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
2103 | reset before any MII register access is possible. | |
2104 | For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay | |
2105 | required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) | |
2106 | ||
2107 | CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) | |
2108 | ||
2109 | Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after | |
2110 | command issued before MII status register can be read | |
2111 | ||
c609719b WD |
2112 | - IP address: |
2113 | CONFIG_IPADDR | |
2114 | ||
2115 | Define a default value for the IP address to use for | |
11ccc33f | 2116 | the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not |
c609719b | 2117 | determined through e.g. bootp. |
1ebcd654 | 2118 | (Environment variable "ipaddr") |
c609719b WD |
2119 | |
2120 | - Server IP address: | |
2121 | CONFIG_SERVERIP | |
2122 | ||
11ccc33f | 2123 | Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP |
c609719b | 2124 | server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. |
1ebcd654 | 2125 | (Environment variable "serverip") |
c609719b | 2126 | |
97cfe861 RG |
2127 | CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR |
2128 | ||
2129 | Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' | |
2130 | for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) | |
2131 | ||
1ebcd654 WD |
2132 | - Gateway IP address: |
2133 | CONFIG_GATEWAYIP | |
2134 | ||
2135 | Defines a default value for the IP address of the | |
2136 | default router where packets to other networks are | |
2137 | sent to. | |
2138 | (Environment variable "gatewayip") | |
2139 | ||
2140 | - Subnet mask: | |
2141 | CONFIG_NETMASK | |
2142 | ||
2143 | Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or | |
2144 | routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP | |
2145 | address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be | |
2146 | forwarded through a router. | |
2147 | (Environment variable "netmask") | |
2148 | ||
53a5c424 DU |
2149 | - Multicast TFTP Mode: |
2150 | CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP | |
2151 | ||
2152 | Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per | |
2153 | rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets | |
11ccc33f | 2154 | tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet |
53a5c424 DU |
2155 | driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a |
2156 | multicast group. | |
2157 | ||
c609719b WD |
2158 | - BOOTP Recovery Mode: |
2159 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY | |
2160 | ||
2161 | If you have many targets in a network that try to | |
2162 | boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all | |
2163 | systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same | |
2164 | moment (which would happen for instance at recovery | |
2165 | from a power failure, when all systems will try to | |
2166 | boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining | |
2167 | CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be | |
2168 | inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The | |
6c33c785 | 2169 | following delays are inserted then: |
c609719b WD |
2170 | |
2171 | 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec | |
2172 | 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec | |
2173 | 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec | |
2174 | 4th and following | |
2175 | BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec | |
2176 | ||
92ac8acc TR |
2177 | CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE |
2178 | ||
2179 | BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The | |
2180 | server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and | |
2181 | U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of | |
2182 | an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses | |
2183 | aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP | |
2184 | ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to | |
2185 | respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it | |
2186 | takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that | |
2187 | time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order | |
2188 | to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these | |
2189 | retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of | |
2190 | IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this | |
2191 | cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding | |
2192 | requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers | |
2193 | from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. | |
2194 | ||
fe389a82 | 2195 | - DHCP Advanced Options: |
1fe80d79 JL |
2196 | You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining |
2197 | CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: | |
2198 | ||
2199 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK | |
2200 | CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY | |
2201 | CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME | |
2202 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN | |
2203 | CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH | |
2204 | CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE | |
2205 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS | |
2206 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 | |
2207 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME | |
2208 | CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER | |
2209 | CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET | |
2210 | CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX | |
2c00e099 | 2211 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL |
fe389a82 | 2212 | |
5d110f0a WC |
2213 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip |
2214 | environment variable, not the BOOTP server. | |
fe389a82 | 2215 | |
2c00e099 JH |
2216 | CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found |
2217 | after the configured retry count, the call will fail | |
2218 | instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over | |
2219 | to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server | |
2220 | is not available. | |
2221 | ||
fe389a82 SR |
2222 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS |
2223 | serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more | |
2224 | than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. | |
2225 | If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS | |
2226 | serverip will be stored in the additional environment | |
2227 | variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always | |
2228 | stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS | |
1fe80d79 | 2229 | is defined. |
fe389a82 SR |
2230 | |
2231 | CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable | |
2232 | to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they | |
2233 | need the hostname of the DHCP requester. | |
5d110f0a | 2234 | If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content |
1fe80d79 JL |
2235 | of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as |
2236 | option 12 to the DHCP server. | |
fe389a82 | 2237 | |
d9a2f416 AV |
2238 | CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY |
2239 | ||
2240 | A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between | |
2241 | receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". | |
2242 | This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't | |
2243 | respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an | |
2244 | AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed | |
2245 | to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 | |
2246 | DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at | |
2247 | least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope | |
2248 | that one of the retries will be successful but note that | |
2249 | the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than | |
2250 | this delay. | |
2251 | ||
d22c338e JH |
2252 | - Link-local IP address negotiation: |
2253 | Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network | |
2254 | for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. | |
2255 | This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed | |
2256 | to exist in all environments that the device must operate. | |
2257 | ||
2258 | See doc/README.link-local for more information. | |
2259 | ||
a3d991bd | 2260 | - CDP Options: |
6e592385 | 2261 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID |
a3d991bd WD |
2262 | |
2263 | The device id used in CDP trigger frames. | |
2264 | ||
2265 | CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX | |
2266 | ||
2267 | A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address | |
2268 | of the device. | |
2269 | ||
2270 | CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID | |
2271 | ||
2272 | A printf format string which contains the ascii name of | |
2273 | the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets | |
11ccc33f | 2274 | eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. |
a3d991bd WD |
2275 | |
2276 | CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES | |
2277 | ||
2278 | A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; | |
2279 | 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. | |
2280 | ||
2281 | CONFIG_CDP_VERSION | |
2282 | ||
2283 | An ascii string containing the version of the software. | |
2284 | ||
2285 | CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM | |
2286 | ||
2287 | An ascii string containing the name of the platform. | |
2288 | ||
2289 | CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER | |
2290 | ||
2291 | A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. | |
2292 | ||
2293 | CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION | |
2294 | ||
2295 | A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the | |
2296 | device in .1 of milliwatts. | |
2297 | ||
2298 | CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE | |
2299 | ||
2300 | A byte containing the id of the VLAN. | |
2301 | ||
c609719b WD |
2302 | - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED |
2303 | ||
2304 | Several configurations allow to display the current | |
2305 | status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink | |
2306 | fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as | |
2307 | soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and | |
2308 | start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running | |
2309 | (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux | |
2310 | kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this | |
2311 | feature in U-Boot. | |
2312 | ||
1df7bbba IG |
2313 | Additional options: |
2314 | ||
2315 | CONFIG_GPIO_LED | |
2316 | The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. | |
2317 | In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a | |
2318 | status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED | |
2319 | to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. | |
2320 | ||
9dfdcdfe IG |
2321 | CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE |
2322 | Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which | |
2323 | case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and | |
2324 | GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. | |
2325 | In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined | |
2326 | with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. | |
2327 | ||
c609719b WD |
2328 | - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER |
2329 | ||
2330 | Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support | |
2331 | on those systems that support this (optional) | |
2332 | feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. | |
2333 | ||
3f4978c7 HS |
2334 | - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C |
2335 | ||
2336 | This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use | |
2337 | i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set | |
2338 | CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c | |
2339 | based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See | |
2340 | common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line | |
2341 | interface. | |
2342 | ||
2343 | ported i2c driver to the new framework: | |
ea818dbb HS |
2344 | - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: |
2345 | - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define | |
2346 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE | |
2347 | for defining speed and slave address | |
2348 | - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define | |
2349 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 | |
2350 | for defining speed and slave address | |
2351 | - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define | |
2352 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 | |
2353 | for defining speed and slave address | |
2354 | - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define | |
2355 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 | |
2356 | for defining speed and slave address | |
3f4978c7 | 2357 | |
00f792e0 HS |
2358 | - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: |
2359 | - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL | |
2360 | define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register | |
2361 | offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and | |
2362 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first | |
2363 | bus. | |
93e14596 | 2364 | - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define |
00f792e0 HS |
2365 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset |
2366 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and | |
2367 | CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the | |
2368 | second bus. | |
2369 | ||
1f2ba722 | 2370 | - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: |
10cee516 NI |
2371 | - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA |
2372 | - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from | |

ea818dbb | 2512 | - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C |
3f4978c7 HS |
2513 | |
2514 | NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which | |
2515 | provides the following compelling advantages: | |
2516 | ||
2517 | - more than one i2c adapter is usable | |
2518 | - approved multibus support | |
2519 | - better i2c mux support | |
2520 | ||
2521 | ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** | |
2522 | ||
ea818dbb HS |
2523 | These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining |
2524 | CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver | |
2525 | for the selected CPU. | |
c609719b | 2526 | |
945af8d7 | 2527 | This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot |
602ad3b3 | 2528 | command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in |
b37c7e5e WD |
2529 | CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime |
2530 | clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the | |
43d9616c | 2531 | command line interface. |
c609719b | 2532 | |
bb99ad6d | 2533 | CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. |
b37c7e5e | 2534 | |
945af8d7 | 2535 | There are several other quantities that must also be |
ea818dbb | 2536 | defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. |
c609719b | 2537 | |
6d0f6bcf | 2538 | In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED |
945af8d7 | 2539 | to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus |
6d0f6bcf | 2540 | to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie |
11ccc33f | 2541 | the CPU's i2c node address). |
945af8d7 | 2542 | |
8d321b81 | 2543 | Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx |
a47a12be | 2544 | (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node |
8d321b81 PT |
2545 | and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, |
2546 | eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set | |
2547 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. | |
c609719b | 2548 | |
5da71efa EM |
2549 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX |
2550 | ||
2551 | When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer | |
2552 | chips might think that the current transfer is still | |
2553 | in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start | |
2554 | commands until the slave device responds. | |
2555 | ||
945af8d7 | 2556 | That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. |
c609719b | 2557 | |
ea818dbb | 2558 | If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) |
b37c7e5e WD |
2559 | then the following macros need to be defined (examples are |
2560 | from include/configs/lwmon.h): | |
c609719b WD |
2561 | |
2562 | I2C_INIT | |
2563 | ||
b37c7e5e | 2564 | (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C |
43d9616c | 2565 | controller or configure ports. |
c609719b | 2566 | |
ba56f625 | 2567 | eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) |
b37c7e5e | 2568 | |
c609719b WD |
2569 | I2C_PORT |
2570 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2571 | (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code |
2572 | assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values | |
2573 | are 0..3 for ports A..D. | |
c609719b WD |
2574 | |
2575 | I2C_ACTIVE | |
2576 | ||
2577 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line active | |
2578 | (driven). If the data line is open collector, this | |
2579 | define can be null. | |
2580 | ||
b37c7e5e WD |
2581 | eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) |
2582 | ||
c609719b WD |
2583 | I2C_TRISTATE |
2584 | ||
2585 | The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated | |
2586 | (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this | |
2587 | define can be null. | |
2588 | ||
b37c7e5e WD |
2589 | eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) |
2590 | ||
c609719b WD |
2591 | I2C_READ |
2592 | ||
472d5460 YS |
2593 | Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, |
2594 | false if it is low. | |
c609719b | 2595 | |
b37c7e5e WD |
2596 | eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) |
2597 | ||
c609719b WD |
2598 | I2C_SDA(bit) |
2599 | ||
472d5460 YS |
2600 | If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it |
2601 | is false, it clears it (low). | |
c609719b | 2602 | |
b37c7e5e | 2603 | eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ |
2535d602 | 2604 | if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ |
ba56f625 | 2605 | else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA |
b37c7e5e | 2606 | |
c609719b WD |
2607 | I2C_SCL(bit) |
2608 | ||
472d5460 YS |
2609 | If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it |
2610 | is false, it clears it (low). | |
c609719b | 2611 | |
b37c7e5e | 2612 | eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ |
2535d602 | 2613 | if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ |
ba56f625 | 2614 | else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL |
b37c7e5e | 2615 | |
c609719b WD |
2616 | I2C_DELAY |
2617 | ||
2618 | This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this | |
2619 | controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus | |
b37c7e5e | 2620 | is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something |
945af8d7 WD |
2621 | like: |
2622 | ||
b37c7e5e | 2623 | #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) |
c609719b | 2624 | |
793b5726 MF |
2625 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA |
2626 | ||
2627 | If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), | |
2628 | then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be | |
2629 | used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will | |
2630 | have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. | |
2631 | ||
2632 | You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to | |
2633 | the generic GPIO functions. | |
2634 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2635 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD |
47cd00fa | 2636 | |
8bde7f77 WD |
2637 | When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer |
2638 | chips might think that the current transfer is still | |
2639 | in progress. On some boards it is possible to access | |
2640 | the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the | |
2641 | processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin | |
2642 | connected to the bus. If this option is defined a | |
2643 | custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c | |
2644 | is run early in the boot sequence. | |
47cd00fa | 2645 | |
26a33504 RR |
2646 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT |
2647 | ||
2648 | An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is | |
2649 | defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in | |
2650 | boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() | |
2651 | is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus | |
2652 | using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c | |
2653 | controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of | |
2654 | i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus | |
2655 | controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). | |
2656 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
2657 | CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) |
2658 | ||
2659 | This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags | |
2660 | in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment | |
2661 | variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) | |
2662 | ||
bb99ad6d BW |
2663 | CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
2664 | ||
2665 | This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which | |
c0f40859 WD |
2666 | must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is |
2667 | active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. | |
bb99ad6d BW |
2668 | Note that bus numbering is zero-based. |
2669 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2670 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES |
bb99ad6d BW |
2671 | |
2672 | This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped | |
c0f40859 | 2673 | when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
0f89c54b PT |
2674 | is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify |
2675 | a 1D array of device addresses | |
bb99ad6d BW |
2676 | |
2677 | e.g. | |
2678 | #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS | |
c0f40859 | 2679 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} |
bb99ad6d BW |
2680 | |
2681 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus | |
2682 | ||
c0f40859 | 2683 | #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS |
6d0f6bcf | 2684 | #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} |
bb99ad6d BW |
2685 | |
2686 | will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 | |
2687 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2688 | CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM |
be5e6181 TT |
2689 | |
2690 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. | |
2691 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. | |
2692 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2693 | CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM |
0dc018ec SR |
2694 | |
2695 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. | |
2696 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. | |
2697 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2698 | CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM |
0dc018ec SR |
2699 | |
2700 | If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. | |
2701 | If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. | |
2702 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2703 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: |
9ebbb54f VG |
2704 | |
2705 | If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. | |
2706 | If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for | |
2707 | specified DTT device. | |
2708 | ||
2ac6985a AD |
2709 | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START |
2710 | ||
2711 | defining this will force the i2c_read() function in | |
2712 | the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start | |
2713 | between writing the address pointer and reading the | |
2714 | data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour | |
2715 | of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C | |
2716 | devices can use either method, but some require one or | |
2717 | the other. | |

2719 | - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI |
2720 | ||
2721 | Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with | |
2722 | SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and | |
2723 | D/As on the SACSng board) | |
2724 | ||
6639562e YS |
2725 | CONFIG_SH_SPI |
2726 | ||
2727 | Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently | |
2728 | only SH7757 is supported. | |
2729 | ||
c609719b WD |
2730 | CONFIG_SPI_X |
2731 | ||
2732 | Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. | |
2733 | (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) | |
2734 | ||
2735 | CONFIG_SOFT_SPI | |
2736 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2737 | Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than |
2738 | using hardware support. This is a general purpose | |
2739 | driver that only requires three general I/O port pins | |
2740 | (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is | |
2741 | defined, the board configuration must define several | |
2742 | SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For | |
2743 | an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. | |
c609719b | 2744 | |
04a9e118 BW |
2745 | CONFIG_HARD_SPI |
2746 | ||
2747 | Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads | |
2748 | and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration | |
2749 | must define a list of chip-select function pointers. | |
c0f40859 | 2750 | Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an |
04a9e118 BW |
2751 | example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. |
2752 | ||
38254f45 GL |

c609719b | 2796 | |
6d0f6bcf | 2797 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY |
c609719b | 2798 | |
43d9616c WD |
2799 | Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy |
2800 | status by the configuration function. This option | |
2801 | will require a board or device specific function to | |
2802 | be written. | |
c609719b WD |
2803 | |
2804 | CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY | |
2805 | ||

2807 | configuration driver. | |
2808 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2809 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC |
c609719b WD |

6d0f6bcf | 2812 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR |
c609719b | 2813 | |
43d9616c WD |
2814 | Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile |
2815 | loading. For example, abort during Virtex II | |
2816 | configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which | |
2817 | indicated a CRC error). | |
c609719b | 2818 | |
6d0f6bcf | 2819 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT |

c609719b | 2830 | |
6d0f6bcf | 2831 | CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG |
c609719b | 2832 | |

11ccc33f | 2834 | 200 ms. |
c609719b WD |
2835 | |
2836 | - Configuration Management: | |
b2b8a696 SR |
2837 | CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET |
2838 | ||
2839 | Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary | |
2840 | with a special header) as build targets. By defining | |
2841 | CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this | |
2842 | special image will be automatically built upon calling | |
2843 | make / MAKEALL. | |
2844 | ||
c609719b WD |
2845 | CONFIG_IDENT_STRING |
2846 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2847 | If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot |
2848 | version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) | |
c609719b WD |
2849 | |
2850 | - Vendor Parameter Protection: | |
2851 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2852 | U-Boot considers the values of the environment |
2853 | variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and | |
7152b1d0 | 2854 | "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that |
43d9616c WD |
2855 | are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and |
2856 | protects these variables from casual modification by | |
2857 | the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, | |
2858 | and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can | |
11ccc33f | 2859 | change this behaviour: |
c609719b WD |
2860 | |
2861 | If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config | |
2862 | file, the write protection for vendor parameters is | |
47cd00fa | 2863 | completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete |
c609719b WD |
2864 | these parameters. |
2865 | ||
92ac5208 JH |
2866 | Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the |
2867 | default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default | |
11ccc33f | 2868 | Ethernet address is installed in the environment, |
c609719b WD |
2869 | which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The |
2870 | serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains | |
2871 | read-only.] | |
2872 | ||
2598090b JH |
2873 | The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way |
2874 | for any variable by configuring the type of access | |
2875 | to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable | |
2876 | or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. | |
2877 | ||
c609719b WD |
2878 | - Protected RAM: |
2879 | CONFIG_PRAM | |
2880 | ||
2881 | Define this variable to enable the reservation of | |
2882 | "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten | |
2883 | by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of | |
2884 | kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite | |
2885 | this default value by defining an environment | |
2886 | variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to | |
2887 | reserve. Note that the board info structure will | |
2888 | still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is | |
2889 | reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will | |
2890 | automatically be defined to hold the amount of | |
2891 | remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot | |
2892 | argument to Linux, for instance like that: | |
2893 | ||
fe126d8b | 2894 | setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} |
c609719b WD |
2895 | saveenv |
2896 | ||
2897 | This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, | |
2898 | either, which results in a memory region that will | |
2899 | not be affected by reboots. | |
2900 | ||
2901 | *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic | |
2902 | detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that | |
2903 | this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the | |
2904 | following board configurations are known to be | |
2905 | "pRAM-clean": | |
2906 | ||
1b0757ec WD |
2907 | IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, |
2908 | HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, | |
544d97e9 | 2909 | FLAGADM, TQM8260 |
c609719b | 2910 | |
40fef049 GB |
2911 | - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) |
2912 | Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not | |
2913 | normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures | |
2914 | support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit | |
2915 | machines using physical address extension or similar. | |
2916 | Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which | |
2917 | currently only supports clearing the memory. | |
2918 | ||
c609719b WD |
2919 | - Error Recovery: |
2920 | CONFIG_PANIC_HANG | |
2921 | ||
2922 | Define this variable to stop the system in case of a | |
2923 | fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. | |
2924 | This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded | |
11ccc33f | 2925 | system where you want the system to reboot |
c609719b WD |
2926 | automatically as fast as possible, but it may be |
2927 | useful during development since you can try to debug | |
2928 | the conditions that lead to the situation. | |
2929 | ||
2930 | CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT | |
2931 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2932 | This variable defines the number of retries for |
2933 | network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP | |
2934 | before giving up the operation. If not defined, a | |
2935 | default value of 5 is used. | |
c609719b | 2936 | |
40cb90ee GL |
2937 | CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT |
2938 | ||
2939 | Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. | |
2940 | ||
48a3e999 TK |
2941 | CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT |
2942 | ||
2943 | Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. | |
2944 | If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, | |
2945 | try longer timeout such as | |
2946 | #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL | |
2947 | ||
c609719b | 2948 | - Command Interpreter: |
8078f1a5 | 2949 | CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE |
04a85b3b WD |
2950 | |
2951 | Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. | |
2952 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 2953 | CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 |
c609719b WD |
2954 | |
2955 | This defines the secondary prompt string, which is | |
2956 | printed when the command interpreter needs more input | |
2957 | to complete a command. Usually "> ". | |
2958 | ||
2959 | Note: | |
2960 | ||
8bde7f77 WD |
2961 | In the current implementation, the local variables |
2962 | space and global environment variables space are | |
2963 | separated. Local variables are those you define by | |
2964 | simply typing `name=value'. To access a local | |
2965 | variable later on, you have write `$name' or | |
2966 | `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable | |
2967 | directly type `$name' at the command prompt. | |
c609719b | 2968 | |
43d9616c WD |
2969 | Global environment variables are those you use |
2970 | setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored | |
2971 | in such a variable, you need to use the run command, | |
2972 | and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. | |
c609719b WD |
2973 | |
2974 | To store commands and special characters in a | |
2975 | variable, please use double quotation marks | |
2976 | surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead | |
2977 | of the backslashes before semicolons and special | |
2978 | symbols. | |
2979 | ||
b445bbb4 | 2980 | - Command Line Editing and History: |
aa0c71ac WD |
2981 | CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING |
2982 | ||
11ccc33f | 2983 | Enable editing and History functions for interactive |
b445bbb4 | 2984 | command line input operations |
aa0c71ac | 2985 | |
a8c7c708 | 2986 | - Default Environment: |
c609719b WD |
2987 | CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS |
2988 | ||
43d9616c WD |
2989 | Define this to contain any number of null terminated |
2990 | strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of | |
7152b1d0 | 2991 | the default environment compiled into the boot image. |
2262cfee | 2992 | |
43d9616c WD |
2993 | For example, place something like this in your |
2994 | board's config file: | |
c609719b WD |
2995 | |
2996 | #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ | |
2997 | "myvar1=value1\0" \ | |
2998 | "myvar2=value2\0" | |
2999 | ||
43d9616c WD |
3000 | Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the |
3001 | internal format how the environment is stored by the | |
3002 | U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported | |
3003 | interface! Although it is unlikely that this format | |
7152b1d0 | 3004 | will change soon, there is no guarantee either. |
c609719b WD |
3005 | You better know what you are doing here. |
3006 | ||
43d9616c WD |
3007 | Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is |
3008 | discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset | |
74de7aef | 3009 | the environment like the "source" command or the |
43d9616c | 3010 | boot command first. |
c609719b | 3011 | |
5e724ca2 SW |
3012 | CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG |
3013 | ||
3014 | Define this in order to add variables describing the | |
3015 | U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. | |
3016 | These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. | |
3017 | ||
3018 | Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: | |
3019 | ||
3020 | - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH | |
3021 | - CONFIG_SYS_CPU | |
3022 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD | |
3023 | - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR | |
3024 | - CONFIG_SYS_SOC | |
3025 | ||
7e27f89f TR |
3026 | CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG |
3027 | ||
3028 | Define this in order to add variables describing certain | |
3029 | run-time determined information about the hardware to the | |
3030 | environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. | |
3031 | ||
06fd8538 SG |
3032 | CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT |
3033 | ||
3034 | Normally the environment is loaded when the board is | |
b445bbb4 | 3035 | initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits |
06fd8538 SG |
3036 | that so that the environment is not available until |
3037 | explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL | |
3038 | this is instead controlled by the value of | |
3039 | /config/load-environment. | |
3040 | ||
3b10cf12 CP |
3041 | - Parallel Flash support: |
3042 | CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH | |
3043 | ||
3044 | Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR | |
3045 | flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR | |
3046 | flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have | |
3047 | parallel flash. | |
3048 | ||
3049 | If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers | |
3050 | (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be | |
3051 | selected or the board must provide an implementation of the | |
3052 | flash API (see include/flash.h). | |
3053 | ||
a8c7c708 | 3054 | - DataFlash Support: |
2abbe075 WD |
3055 | CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH |
3056 | ||
8bde7f77 WD |
3057 | Defining this option enables DataFlash features and |
3058 | allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard | |
3059 | commands cp, md... | |
2abbe075 | 3060 | |
f61ec45e EN |
3061 | - Serial Flash support |
3062 | CONFIG_CMD_SF | |
3063 | ||
3064 | Defining this option enables SPI flash commands | |
3065 | 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. | |
3066 | ||
3067 | Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial | |
3068 | flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update | |
3069 | commands. | |
3070 | ||
3071 | The following defaults may be provided by the platform | |
3072 | to handle the common case when only a single serial | |
3073 | flash is present on the system. | |
3074 | ||
3075 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier | |
3076 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select | |
3077 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) | |
3078 | CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz | |
3079 | ||
24007273 SG |
3080 | CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST |
3081 | ||
3082 | Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash | |
3083 | test ('sf test'). | |
3084 | ||
b902e07c JT |
3085 | CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories |
3086 | ||
3087 | Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash | |
3088 | memories can be connected with a given cs line. | |
b445bbb4 | 3089 | Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections. |
b902e07c | 3090 | |
3f85ce27 WD |
3091 | - SystemACE Support: |
3092 | CONFIG_SYSTEMACE | |
3093 | ||
3094 | Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE | |
3095 | chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address | |
11ccc33f | 3096 | of the chip must also be defined in the |
6d0f6bcf | 3097 | CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: |
3f85ce27 WD |
3098 | |
3099 | #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE | |
6d0f6bcf | 3100 | #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 |
3f85ce27 WD |
3101 | |
3102 | When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type | |
3103 | becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. | |
3104 | ||
ecb0ccd9 WD |
3105 | - TFTP Fixed UDP Port: |
3106 | CONFIG_TFTP_PORT | |

28cb9375 | 3108 | If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp |
ecb0ccd9 | 3109 | is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. |
28cb9375 | 3110 | If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
3111 | number generator is used. |
3112 | ||
28cb9375 WD |
3113 | Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply |
3114 | the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't | |
3115 | defined, the normal port 69 is used. | |
3116 | ||
3117 | The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to | |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
3118 | blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured |
3119 | target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of | |
3120 | "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing | |
3121 | the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. | |
3122 | A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, | |
3123 | but sometimes that is not allowed. | |

3125 | - Hashing support: |
3126 | CONFIG_CMD_HASH | |
3127 | ||
3128 | This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce | |
3129 | hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). | |
3130 | ||
3131 | CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY | |
3132 | ||
3133 | Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code | |
3134 | size a little. | |
3135 | ||
94e3c8c4 | 3136 | CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1 |
3137 | algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. | |
3138 | CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using | |
3139 | SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. | |
3140 | CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration | |
3141 | for SHA1/SHA256 hashing. | |
3142 | This affects the 'hash' command and also the | |
3143 | hash_lookup_algo() function. | |
3144 | CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables | |
3145 | hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing. | |
3146 | Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing | |
3147 | is performed in hardware. | |
bf36c5d5 SG |
3148 | |
3149 | Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps | |
3150 | be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. | |

a11f1873 RW |
3152 | - Freescale i.MX specific commands: |
3153 | CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT | |
3154 | This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an | |
3155 | HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. | |
3156 | ||
3157 | CONFIG_CMD_BMODE | |
3158 | This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing | |
3159 | a boot from specific media. | |
3160 | ||
3161 | This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to | |
3162 | activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating | |
3163 | on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal | |
3164 | will set it back to normal. This command currently | |
3165 | supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. | |
3166 | ||
19c402af SG |
3167 | - Signing support: |
3168 | CONFIG_RSA | |
3169 | ||
3170 | This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification | |
8bf2aad7 | 3171 | in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information. |
19c402af | 3172 | |
c937ff6d RG |
3173 | The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using |
3174 | driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this | |
3175 | library to function. | |
3176 | ||
19c402af | 3177 | The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this |
c937ff6d RG |
3178 | option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into |
3179 | mkimage irrespective of this option. | |
19c402af | 3180 | |
9e50c406 HS |
3181 | - bootcount support: |
3182 | CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT | |
3183 | ||
3184 | This enables the bootcounter support, see: | |
3185 | http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit | |
3186 | ||
3187 | CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE | |
3188 | enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards. | |
3189 | CONFIG_BLACKFIN | |
3190 | enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards. | |
3191 | CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX | |
3192 | enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards. | |
3193 | CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM | |
3194 | enable support for the bootcounter in RAM | |
3195 | CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C | |
3196 | enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device. | |
3197 | CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address | |
3198 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for | |
3199 | the bootcounter. | |
3200 | CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len | |

43d9616c WD |
3205 | Defining this option allows to add some board- |
3206 | specific code (calling a user-provided function | |
3207 | "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show | |
3208 | the system's boot progress on some display (for | |
3209 | example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, | |
3210 | the following checkpoints are implemented: | |

3472 | life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., | |
3473 | to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). | |

c654b517 | 3476 | |

3477 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT |
3478 | This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI | |
3479 | expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the | |
3480 | underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR | |
3481 | flash), this value is ignored. | |
3482 | ||
3483 | NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM | |
3484 | (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. | |
3485 | The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks | |
3486 | then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", | |
3487 | which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total | |
3488 | count of eraseblocks on the chip). | |
3489 | ||
3490 | To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to | |
3491 | reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks | |
3492 | handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire | |
3493 | NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means | |
3494 | that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad | |
3495 | eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same | |
3496 | size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a | |
3497 | partition. | |
3498 | ||
3499 | default: 20 | |
3500 | ||
3501 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP | |
3502 | Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device | |
3503 | in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it | |
3504 | only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. | |
3505 | The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach | |
3506 | the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where | |
3507 | attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install | |
3508 | a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter | |
3509 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note | |
3510 | that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations | |
3511 | without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap | |
3512 | fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. | |
3513 | ||
3514 | CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT | |
3515 | Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images | |
3516 | without a fastmap. | |
3517 | default: 0 | |

d4ca31c4 WD |
3805 | There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() |

11ccc33f | 3807 | for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() |
d4ca31c4 | 3808 | should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If |
11ccc33f | 3809 | CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt |
d4ca31c4 | 3810 | (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. |

d4ca31c4 WD |
3812 | specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led |

43d9616c WD |
3818 | In the target system modem support is enabled when a |
3819 | specific key (key combination) is pressed during | |
3820 | power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally | |
11ccc33f | 3821 | (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from |
43d9616c WD |
3822 | board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy |
3823 | function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem | |
3824 | initialization. | |

3855 | undefine this when you're short of memory. |
3856 | ||
2fb2604d PT |
3857 | - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default |
3858 | width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. | |
3859 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3860 | - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to |
c609719b WD |
3861 | prompt for user input. |
3862 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3863 | - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console |
c609719b | 3864 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3865 | - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output |
c609719b | 3866 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3867 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands |
c609719b | 3868 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3869 | - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to |
c609719b WD |
3870 | the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is |
3871 | booted | |
3872 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3873 | - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: |
c609719b WD |
3874 | List of legal baudrate settings for this board. |
3875 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3876 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET |
8bde7f77 | 3877 | Suppress display of console information at boot. |
c609719b | 3878 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3879 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV |
8bde7f77 WD |
3880 | If the board specific function |
3881 | extern int overwrite_console (void); | |
3882 | returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the | |
c609719b WD |
3883 | serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. |
3884 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3885 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE |
8bde7f77 | 3886 | Enable the call to overwrite_console(). |
c609719b | 3887 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3888 | - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE |
c609719b WD |
3889 | Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. |
3890 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3891 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: |
c609719b WD |
3892 | Begin and End addresses of the area used by the |
3893 | simple memory test. | |
3894 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3895 | - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: |
8bde7f77 | 3896 | Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. |
c609719b | 3897 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3898 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: |
5f535fe1 WD |
3899 | Scratch address used by the alternate memory test |
3900 | You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable | |
3901 | ||
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
3902 | - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): |
3903 | If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, | |
14f73ca6 | 3904 | this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top |
11ccc33f | 3905 | (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By |
14f73ca6 SR |
3906 | fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed |
3907 | the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. | |
3908 | This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux | |
5e12e75d | 3909 | board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that |
14f73ca6 | 3910 | recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup |
5e12e75d | 3911 | will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. |
14f73ca6 SR |
3912 | |
3913 | This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx | |
3914 | CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't | |
3915 | be touched. | |
3916 | ||
3917 | WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of | |
3918 | the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, | |
3919 | then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a | |
3920 | non page size aligned address and this could cause major | |
3921 | problems. | |
3922 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3923 | - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: |
c609719b WD |
3924 | Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download |
3925 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3926 | - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3927 | Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. |
3928 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3929 | - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3930 | Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a |
3931 | Cogent motherboard) | |
3932 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3933 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3934 | Physical start address of Flash memory. |
3935 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3936 | - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: |
c609719b WD |
3937 | Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by |
3938 | make config files to be same as the text base address | |
14d0a02a | 3939 | (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as |
6d0f6bcf | 3940 | CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. |
c609719b | 3941 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3942 | - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: |
8bde7f77 WD |
3943 | Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to |
3944 | determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is | |
3945 | embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate | |
3946 | flash sector. | |
c609719b | 3947 | |
6d0f6bcf | 3948 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: |
c609719b WD |
3949 | Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. |
3950 | ||
d59476b6 SG |
3951 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN |
3952 | Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If | |
3953 | this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation | |
3954 | will become available before relocation. The address is just | |
3955 | below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make | |
3956 | space. | |
3957 | ||
3958 | This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses | |
3959 | within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() | |
3960 | is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. | |
b445bbb4 | 3961 | The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when |
d59476b6 SG |
3962 | U-Boot relocates itself. |
3963 | ||
e7b14e9a | 3964 | Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox |
29afe9e6 SG |
3965 | at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. |
3966 | ||
38687ae6 SG |
3967 | - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE |
3968 | Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those | |
3969 | boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is | |
3970 | enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START). | |
3971 | ||
1dfdd9ba TR |
3972 | - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY: |
3973 | Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be | |
3974 | typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped | |
3975 | uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would | |
3976 | otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For | |
3977 | some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the | |
3978 | cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed | |
3979 | are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding | |
3980 | cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e. | |
3981 | if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the | |
3982 | size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of | |
3983 | one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has | |
3984 | written to another region in the same cache-line. This can | |
3985 | happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for | |
3986 | buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g. | |
3987 | 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes). | |
3988 | ||
3989 | Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present. | |
3990 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3991 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: |
15940c9a SR |
3992 | Normally compressed uImages are limited to an |
3993 | uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, | |
6d0f6bcf | 3994 | you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file |
15940c9a SR |
3995 | to adjust this setting to your needs. |
3996 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 3997 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: |
c609719b WD |
3998 | Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of |
3999 | the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by | |
7d721e34 BS |
4000 | the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if |
4001 | used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" | |
1bce2aeb | 4002 | environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case |
7d721e34 | 4003 | all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" |
c0f40859 | 4004 | and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment |
c3624e6e GL |
4005 | variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of |
4006 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, | |
4007 | then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. | |
c609719b | 4008 | |
fca43cc8 JR |
4009 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: |
4010 | Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the | |
4011 | initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand | |
4012 | is enabled. | |
4013 | ||
4014 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: | |
4015 | Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between | |
4016 | "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
4017 | ||
4018 | - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: | |
4019 | Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in | |
4020 | space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. | |
4021 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4022 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: |
c609719b WD |
4023 | Max number of Flash memory banks |
4024 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4025 | - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: |
c609719b WD |
4026 | Max number of sectors on a Flash chip |
4027 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4028 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: |
c609719b WD |
4029 | Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) |
4030 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4031 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: |
c609719b WD |
4032 | Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) |
4033 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4034 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT |
8564acf9 WD |
4035 | Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) |
4036 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4037 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT |
8564acf9 WD |
4038 | Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) |
4039 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4040 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION |
8564acf9 WD |
4041 | If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used |
4042 | instead of U-Boot software protection. | |
4043 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4044 | - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: |
c609719b WD |
4045 | |
4046 | Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; | |
4047 | without this option such a download has to be | |
4048 | performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) | |
4049 | copy from RAM to flash. | |
4050 | ||
4051 | The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since | |
4052 | you can check if the download worked before you erase | |
11ccc33f MZ |
4053 | the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is |
4054 | too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the | |
c609719b WD |
4055 | downloaded image) this option may be very useful. |
4056 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4057 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: |
43d9616c | 4058 | Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the |
5653fc33 WD |
4059 | common flash structure for storing flash geometry. |
4060 | ||
00b1883a | 4061 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER |
5653fc33 WD |
4062 | This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver |
4063 | in the drivers directory | |
c609719b | 4064 | |
91809ed5 PZ |
4065 | - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD |
4066 | This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver | |
4067 | in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash | |
4068 | to the MTD layer. | |
4069 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4070 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE |
96ef831f GL |
4071 | Use buffered writes to flash. |
4072 | ||
4073 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N | |
4074 | s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered | |
4075 | write commands. | |
4076 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4077 | - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST |
5568e613 SR |
4078 | If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't |
4079 | print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This | |
4080 | is useful, if some of the configured banks are only | |
4081 | optionally available. | |
4082 | ||
9a042e9c JVB |
4083 | - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS |
4084 | If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown | |
4085 | digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 | |
4086 | column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. | |
4087 | ||
352ef3f1 SR |
4088 | - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY |
4089 | If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared | |
4090 | against the source after the write operation. An error message | |
4091 | will be printed when the contents are not identical. | |
4092 | Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, | |
4093 | since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier | |
4094 | while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable | |
4095 | this option if you really know what you are doing. | |
4096 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4097 | - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: |
11ccc33f MZ |
4098 | Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some |
4099 | Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value | |
53cf9435 SR |
4100 | to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all |
4101 | buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface | |
11ccc33f | 4102 | on high Ethernet traffic. |
53cf9435 SR |
4103 | Defaults to 4 if not defined. |
4104 | ||
ea882baf WD |
4105 | - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES |
4106 | ||
071bc923 WD |
4107 | Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used |
4108 | internally to store the environment settings. The default | |
4109 | setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most | |
4110 | cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see | |
4111 | lib/hashtable.c for details. | |
ea882baf | 4112 | |
2598090b JH |
4113 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT |
4114 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
1bce2aeb | 4115 | Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when |
2598090b JH |
4116 | calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, |
4117 | hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, | |
4118 | the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. | |
4119 | ||
4120 | The format of the list is: | |
4121 | type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] | |
b445bbb4 JM |
4122 | access_attribute = [a|r|o|c] |
4123 | attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute] | |
2598090b JH |
4124 | entry = variable_name[:attributes] |
4125 | list = entry[,list] | |
4126 | ||
4127 | The type attributes are: | |
4128 | s - String (default) | |
4129 | d - Decimal | |
4130 | x - Hexadecimal | |
4131 | b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) | |
4132 | i - IP address | |
4133 | m - MAC address | |
4134 | ||
267541f7 JH |
4135 | The access attributes are: |
4136 | a - Any (default) | |
4137 | r - Read-only | |
4138 | o - Write-once | |
4139 | c - Change-default | |
4140 | ||
2598090b JH |
4141 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT |
4142 | Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" | |
b445bbb4 | 4143 | environment variable in the default or embedded environment. |
2598090b JH |
4144 | |
4145 | - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC | |
4146 | Define this to a list (string) to define validation that | |
4147 | should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" | |
4148 | environment variable. To override a setting in the static | |
4149 | list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the | |
4150 | ".flags" variable. | |
4151 | ||
bdf1fe4e JH |
4152 | If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a |
4153 | regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same | |
4154 | flags without explicitly listing them for each variable. | |
4155 | ||
267541f7 JH |
4156 | - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE |
4157 | If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable | |
4158 | access flags. | |
4159 | ||
5c1a7ea6 SG |
4160 | - CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD |
4161 | This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the | |
4162 | architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards | |
4163 | to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the | |
4164 | arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and | |
4165 | common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture | |
0a12e687 MY |
4166 | must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig). |
4167 | If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report | |
4168 | the problem and send patches! | |
5c1a7ea6 | 4169 | |
0b1b60c7 LV |
4170 | - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) |
4171 | This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should | |
4172 | be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how | |
b445bbb4 | 4173 | the value can be calculated on a given board. |
632efa74 | 4174 | |
0d296cc2 GB |
4175 | - CONFIG_USE_STDINT |
4176 | If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this | |
4177 | option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when | |
4178 | building U-Boot to enable this. | |
4179 | ||
c609719b WD |
4180 | The following definitions that deal with the placement and management |
4181 | of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the | |
4182 | following configurations: | |
4183 | ||
c3eb3fe4 MF |
4184 | - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: |
4185 | ||
4186 | Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils | |
4187 | may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. | |
4188 | ||
5a1aceb0 | 4189 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: |
c609719b WD |
4190 | |
4191 | Define this if the environment is in flash memory. | |
4192 | ||
4193 | a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is | |
4194 | "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This | |
4195 | happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot | |
4196 | sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller | |
4197 | sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a | |
4198 | layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In | |
4199 | such a case you would place the environment in one of the | |
4200 | 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With | |
4201 | "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the | |
4202 | environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap | |
4203 | between U-Boot and the environment. | |
4204 | ||
0e8d1586 | 4205 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
c609719b WD |
4206 | |
4207 | Offset of environment data (variable area) to the | |
4208 | beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot | |
4209 | type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset | |
4210 | for this sector is given here. | |
4211 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4212 | CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. |
c609719b | 4213 | |
0e8d1586 | 4214 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: |
c609719b WD |
4215 | |
4216 | This is just another way to specify the start address of | |
4217 | the flash sector containing the environment (instead of | |
0e8d1586 | 4218 | CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). |
c609719b | 4219 | |
0e8d1586 | 4220 | - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
4221 | |
4222 | Size of the sector containing the environment. | |
4223 | ||
4224 | ||
4225 | b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. | |
4226 | In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for | |
4227 | the environment. | |
4228 | ||
0e8d1586 | 4229 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: |
c609719b | 4230 | |
5a1aceb0 | 4231 | If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH |
0e8d1586 | 4232 | and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part |
c609719b WD |
4233 | of this flash sector for the environment. This saves |
4234 | memory for the RAM copy of the environment. | |
4235 | ||
4236 | It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this | |
4237 | when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, | |
4238 | since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used | |
4239 | for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is | |
4240 | STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: | |
4241 | updating the environment in flash makes it always | |
4242 | necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes | |
4243 | wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in | |
4244 | RAM, your target system will be dead. | |
4245 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
4246 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND |
4247 | CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND | |
c609719b | 4248 | |
43d9616c | 4249 | These settings describe a second storage area used to hold |
11ccc33f | 4250 | a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is |
3e38691e | 4251 | a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during |
43d9616c | 4252 | a "saveenv" operation. |
c609719b WD |
4253 | |
4254 | BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the | |
4255 | source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* | |
4256 | accordingly! | |
4257 | ||
4258 | ||
9314cee6 | 4259 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: |
c609719b WD |
4260 | |
4261 | Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device | |
4262 | (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the | |
4263 | environment. | |
4264 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
4265 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: |
4266 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
c609719b | 4267 | |
11ccc33f | 4268 | These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you |
c609719b WD |
4269 | want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory |
4270 | can just be read and written to, without any special | |
4271 | provision. | |
4272 | ||
4273 | BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early | |
b445bbb4 | 4274 | in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the |
11ccc33f | 4275 | console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or |
c609719b WD |
4276 | U-Boot will hang. |
4277 | ||
4278 | Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the | |
4279 | environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to | |
4280 | keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" | |
4281 | to save the current settings. | |
4282 | ||
4283 | ||
bb1f8b4f | 4284 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: |
c609719b WD |
4285 | |
4286 | Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access | |
4287 | device and a driver for it. | |
4288 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
4289 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
4290 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
c609719b WD |
4291 | |
4292 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the | |
4293 | environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. | |
4294 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4295 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: |
c609719b WD |
4296 | If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. |
4297 | The default address is zero. | |
4298 | ||
189d257b CG |
4299 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS: |
4300 | If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device. | |
4301 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4302 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: |
c609719b WD |
4303 | If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a |
4304 | single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example | |
4305 | would require six bits. | |
4306 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4307 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: |
c609719b | 4308 | If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between |
ba56f625 | 4309 | page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. |
c609719b | 4310 | |
6d0f6bcf | 4311 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: |
c609719b WD |
4312 | The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note |
4313 | that this is NOT the chip address length! | |
4314 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4315 | - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: |
5cf91d6b WD |
4316 | EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones |
4317 | like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of | |
4318 | address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit | |
4319 | slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 | |
4320 | byte chips. | |
4321 | ||
4322 | Note that we consider the length of the address field to | |
4323 | still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden | |
4324 | in the chip address. | |
4325 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4326 | - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
4327 | The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. |
4328 | ||
548738b4 HS |
4329 | - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C |
4330 | define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your | |
4331 | EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. | |
4332 | ||
4333 | - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS | |
4334 | if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over | |
4335 | I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this | |
4336 | EEPROM. For example: | |
4337 | ||
ea818dbb | 4338 | #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 |
548738b4 HS |
4339 | |
4340 | EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over | |
4341 | a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. | |
c609719b | 4342 | |
057c849c | 4343 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: |
5779d8d9 | 4344 | |
d4ca31c4 | 4345 | Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you |
5779d8d9 WD |
4346 | want to use for the environment. |
4347 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
4348 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
4349 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: | |
4350 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
5779d8d9 WD |
4351 | |
4352 | These three #defines specify the offset and size of the | |
4353 | environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed | |
4354 | at the specified address. | |
4355 | ||
bd83b592 WJ |
4356 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH: |
4357 | ||
4358 | Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you | |
4359 | want to use for the environment. | |
4360 | ||
4361 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: | |
4362 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
4363 | ||
4364 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the | |
4365 | environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be | |
4366 | aligned to an erase sector boundary. | |
4367 | ||
4368 | - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: | |
4369 | ||
4370 | Define the SPI flash's sector size. | |
4371 | ||
4372 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): | |
4373 | ||
4374 | This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE | |
4375 | size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so | |
4376 | that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure | |
4377 | during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be | |
4378 | aligned to an erase sector boundary. | |
4379 | ||
4380 | - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional): | |
4381 | - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional): | |
4382 | ||
4383 | Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0. | |
4384 | ||
4385 | - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional): | |
4386 | ||
4387 | Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz. | |
4388 | ||
4389 | - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional): | |
4390 | ||
4391 | Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3. | |
4392 | ||
0a85a9e7 LG |
4393 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: |
4394 | ||
4395 | Define this if you have a remote memory space which you | |
4396 | want to use for the local device's environment. | |
4397 | ||
4398 | - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: | |
4399 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
4400 | ||
4401 | These two #defines specify the address and size of the | |
4402 | environment area within the remote memory space. The | |
4403 | local device can get the environment from remote memory | |
fc54c7fa | 4404 | space by SRIO or PCIE links. |
0a85a9e7 LG |
4405 | |
4406 | BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use | |
4407 | "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the | |
fc54c7fa LG |
4408 | environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, |
4409 | but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. | |
0a85a9e7 | 4410 | |
51bfee19 | 4411 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: |
13a5695b WD |
4412 | |
4413 | Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use | |
4414 | for the environment. | |
4415 | ||
0e8d1586 JCPV |
4416 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: |
4417 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
13a5695b WD |
4418 | |
4419 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment | |
fdd813de SW |
4420 | area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be |
4421 | aligned to an erase block boundary. | |
5779d8d9 | 4422 | |
fdd813de | 4423 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): |
e443c944 | 4424 | |
0e8d1586 | 4425 | This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE |
fdd813de SW |
4426 | size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so |
4427 | that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure | |
c0f40859 | 4428 | during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be |
fdd813de SW |
4429 | aligned to an erase block boundary. |
4430 | ||
4431 | - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): | |
4432 | ||
4433 | Specifies the length of the region in which the environment | |
4434 | can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's | |
4435 | block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than | |
4436 | are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within | |
4437 | the range to be avoided. | |
4438 | ||
4439 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): | |
4440 | ||
4441 | Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the | |
4442 | environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The | |
4443 | "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. | |
4444 | Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when | |
4445 | using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. | |
e443c944 | 4446 | |
b74ab737 GL |
4447 | - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST |
4448 | ||
4449 | Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the | |
4450 | environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to | |
4451 | CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. | |
4452 | ||
2b74433f JH |
4453 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: |
4454 | ||
4455 | Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the | |
4456 | environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment | |
4457 | accesses, which is important on NAND. | |
4458 | ||
4459 | - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: | |
4460 | ||
4461 | Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. | |
4462 | ||
4463 | - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: | |
4464 | ||
4465 | Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the | |
4466 | environment in. | |
4467 | ||
785881f7 JH |
4468 | - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: |
4469 | ||
4470 | Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of | |
4471 | the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. | |
4472 | It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. | |
4473 | ||
2b74433f JH |
4474 | - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG |
4475 | - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG | |
4476 | ||
4477 | You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system | |
4478 | when storing the env in UBI. | |
4479 | ||
d1db76f1 WJ |
4480 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT: |
4481 | Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment. | |
4482 | ||
4483 | - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE: | |
4484 | ||
4485 | Define this to a string that is the name of the block device. | |
4486 | ||
4487 | - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART: | |
4488 | ||
4489 | Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can | |
4490 | be as following: | |
4491 | ||
4492 | "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1) | |
4493 | - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no | |
4494 | partition table. | |
4495 | - "D:0": device D. | |
4496 | - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition | |
4497 | table, or the whole device D if has no partition | |
4498 | table. | |
4499 | - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set. | |
b445bbb4 | 4500 | If none, first valid partition in device D. If no |
d1db76f1 WJ |
4501 | partition table then means device D. |
4502 | ||
4503 | - FAT_ENV_FILE: | |
4504 | ||
4505 | It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the | |
b445bbb4 | 4506 | environment. |
d1db76f1 WJ |
4507 | |
4508 | - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE: | |
b445bbb4 | 4509 | This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file. |
d1db76f1 | 4510 | |
06e4ae5f SW |
4511 | - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: |
4512 | ||
4513 | Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the | |
4514 | environment. | |
4515 | ||
4516 | - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: | |
4517 | ||
4518 | Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. | |
4519 | ||
4520 | - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): | |
4521 | ||
4522 | Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not | |
4523 | set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be | |
4524 | 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). | |
4525 | ||
4526 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: | |
4527 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: | |
4528 | ||
4529 | These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment | |
4530 | area within the specified MMC device. | |
4531 | ||
5c088ee8 SW |
4532 | If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to |
4533 | the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated | |
4534 | as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if | |
4535 | your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have | |
4536 | different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the | |
4537 | environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the | |
4538 | maximum possible space before it, to store other data. | |
4539 | ||
06e4ae5f SW |
4540 | These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an |
4541 | MMC sector boundary. | |
4542 | ||
4543 | - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): | |
4544 | ||
4545 | Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to | |
4546 | hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a | |
4547 | valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due | |
4548 | to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. | |
4549 | ||
5c088ee8 SW |
4550 | This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the |
4551 | same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. | |
4552 | ||
06e4ae5f SW |
4553 | This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to |
4554 | an MMC sector boundary. | |
4555 | ||
4556 | - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): | |
4557 | ||
4558 | This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is | |
4559 | set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as | |
4560 | CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. | |
4561 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4562 | - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET |
c609719b WD |
4563 | |
4564 | Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The | |
4565 | area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment | |
4566 | is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte | |
4567 | scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization | |
4568 | calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems | |
4569 | to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the | |
4570 | start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. | |
4571 | ||
e881cb56 | 4572 | Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor |
c609719b | 4573 | has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been |
cdb74977 | 4574 | created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() |
c609719b WD |
4575 | until then to read environment variables. |
4576 | ||
85ec0bcc WD |
4577 | The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor |
4578 | is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working | |
4579 | with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is | |
4580 | necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the | |
4581 | "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't | |
4582 | have any device yet where we could complain.] | |
c609719b WD |
4583 | |
4584 | Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if | |
4585 | the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you | |
85ec0bcc | 4586 | use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. |
c609719b | 4587 | |
6d0f6bcf | 4588 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: |
42d1f039 | 4589 | Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. |
fc3e2165 | 4590 | |
6d0f6bcf | 4591 | Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR |
fc3e2165 WD |
4592 | also needs to be defined. |
4593 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4594 | - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: |
42d1f039 | 4595 | MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. |
c609719b | 4596 | |
f5675aa5 RM |
4597 | - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: |
4598 | Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init | |
4599 | and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at | |
4600 | drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving | |
4601 | space for already greatly restricted images, including but not | |
4602 | limited to NAND_SPL configurations. | |
4603 | ||
b2b92f53 SG |
4604 | - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO |
4605 | Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on | |
4606 | when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called | |
4607 | to do this. | |
4608 | ||
e2e3e2b1 SG |
4609 | - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE |
4610 | Similar to the previous option, but display this information | |
4611 | later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if | |
4612 | present. | |
4613 | ||

4614 | - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: |
4615 | Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the | |
4616 | build system checks that the actual size does not | |
4617 | exceed it. | |

dc7c9a1a | 4620 | --------------------------------------------------- |
c609719b | 4621 | |
6d0f6bcf | 4622 | - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: |
c609719b WD |
4623 | Cache Line Size of the CPU. |
4624 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4625 | - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: |
c609719b | 4626 | Default address of the IMMR after system reset. |
2535d602 | 4627 | |
42d1f039 WD |
4628 | Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, |
4629 | and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of | |
4630 | the IMMR register after a reset. | |
c609719b | 4631 | |

4632 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: |
4633 | Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale | |
4634 | PowerPC SOCs. | |
4635 | ||
4636 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: | |
4637 | Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically | |
4638 | the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. | |
4639 | ||
4640 | CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, | |
4641 | for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. | |
4642 | ||
4643 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: | |
4644 | Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new | |
4645 | physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should | |
c0f40859 | 4646 | be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the |
e46fedfe TT |
4647 | same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR |
4648 | is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended | |
4649 | that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: | |
4650 | ||
4651 | #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH | |
4652 | * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) | |
4653 | ||
4654 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: | |
4cf2609b WD |
4655 | Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically |
4656 | either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is | |
e46fedfe TT |
4657 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or |
4658 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
4659 | ||
4660 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: | |
4661 | Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is | |
4662 | used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or | |
4663 | integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). | |
4664 | ||
4665 | - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: | |
4666 | If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be | |
4667 | forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. | |
4668 | ||
7f6c2cbc | 4669 | - Floppy Disk Support: |
6d0f6bcf | 4670 | CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER |
7f6c2cbc WD |
4671 | |
4672 | the default drive number (default value 0) | |
4673 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4674 | CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE |
7f6c2cbc | 4675 | |
11ccc33f | 4676 | defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers |
7f6c2cbc WD |
4677 | (default value 1) |
4678 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4679 | CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET |
7f6c2cbc | 4680 | |
43d9616c WD |
4681 | defines the offset of register from address. It |
4682 | depends on which part of the data bus is connected to | |
11ccc33f | 4683 | the FDC chipset. (default value 0) |
7f6c2cbc | 4684 | |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
4685 | If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and |
4686 | CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their | |
43d9616c | 4687 | default value. |
7f6c2cbc | 4688 | |
6d0f6bcf | 4689 | if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function |
43d9616c WD |
4690 | fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC |
4691 | setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board | |
b445bbb4 | 4692 | source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent |
43d9616c | 4693 | initializations. |

4695 | - CONFIG_IDE_AHB: |
4696 | Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI | |
4697 | interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. | |
4698 | When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to | |
4699 | IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional | |
4700 | registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller | |
b445bbb4 | 4701 | is required. |

6d0f6bcf | 4703 | - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. |
efe2a4d5 | 4704 | DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're |
25d6712a | 4705 | doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] |
c609719b | 4706 | |
6d0f6bcf | 4707 | - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: |
c609719b | 4708 | |
7152b1d0 | 4709 | Start address of memory area that can be used for |
c609719b WD |
4710 | initial data and stack; please note that this must be |
4711 | writable memory that is working WITHOUT special | |
4712 | initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which | |
4713 | will become available only after programming the | |
4714 | memory controller and running certain initialization | |
4715 | sequences. | |
4716 | ||
4717 | U-Boot uses the following memory types: | |
4718 | - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) | |
4719 | - MPC824X: data cache | |
4720 | - PPC4xx: data cache | |
4721 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 4722 | - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: |
c609719b WD |
4723 | |
4724 | Offset of the initial data structure in the memory | |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
4725 | area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually |
4726 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial | |
c609719b | 4727 | data is located at the end of the available space |
553f0982 | 4728 | (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - |
6d0f6bcf JCPV |
4729 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just |
4730 | below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + | |
4731 | CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. | |
c609719b WD |
4732 | |
4733 | Note: | |
4734 | On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data | |
4735 | cache for initial memory) the address chosen for | |
6d0f6bcf | 4736 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must |
c609719b WD |
4737 | point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between |
4738 | the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. | |

4959 | previous 4k of the .text section. | |
4960 | ||
4213fc29 SG |
4961 | - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM |
4962 | Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses | |
4963 | effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard | |
4964 | U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated | |
4965 | to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since | |
4966 | it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all | |
4967 | addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses | |
4968 | to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). | |
4969 | ||
d8834a13 MW |
4970 | - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY |
4971 | CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET | |
4972 | If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will | |
4973 | be used if available. These functions may be faster under some | |
4974 | conditions but may increase the binary size. | |
4975 | ||
588a13f7 SG |
4976 | - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR |
4977 | If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not | |
4978 | needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. | |

4993 | Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: |
4994 | ----------------------------------- | |
4995 | ||
4996 | The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the | |
4997 | loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. | |
4998 | This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros | |
4999 | are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address | |
5000 | within that device. | |
5001 | ||
dcf1d774 ZQ |
5002 | - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR |
5003 | The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The | |
5004 | meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro | |
5005 | is also specified. | |
5006 | ||
5007 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR | |
5008 | The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The | |
f2717b47 TT |
5009 | meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro |
5010 | is also specified. | |
5011 | ||
5012 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH | |
5013 | The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format | |
5014 | has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it | |
5015 | might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some | |
5016 | local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. | |
5017 | ||
5018 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR | |
5019 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as | |
5020 | normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the | |
5021 | virtual address in NOR flash. | |
5022 | ||
5023 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND | |
5024 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. | |
5025 | CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. | |
5026 | ||
5027 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC | |
5028 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC | |
5029 | device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. | |
5030 | ||
5031 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH | |
5032 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI | |
5033 | device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. | |
5034 | ||
292dc6c5 LG |
5035 | - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE |
5036 | Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) | |
5037 | memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which | |
fc54c7fa LG |
5038 | can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound |
5039 | window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in | |
5040 | master's memory space. | |

5042 | Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: |
5043 | --------------------------------------------------------- | |
5044 | The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of | |
5045 | "firmware". | |
5046 | This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros | |
5047 | are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address | |
5048 | within that device. | |
5049 | ||
5050 | - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET | |
5051 | Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. | |
5052 | ||
5053 | - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR | |
5054 | The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The | |
5055 | meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro | |
5056 | is also specified. | |
5057 | ||
5058 | - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH | |
5059 | The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format | |
5060 | has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it | |
5061 | might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some | |
5062 | local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. | |
5063 | ||
5064 | - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR | |
5065 | Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as | |
5066 | normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the | |

5084 | Building the Software: |
5085 | ====================== | |
5086 | ||
218ca724 WD |
5087 | Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments |
5088 | and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support | |
5089 | all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all | |
5090 | (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we | |
5091 | recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) | |
5092 | which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. | |
c609719b | 5093 | |
218ca724 WD |
5094 | If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you |
5095 | have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, | |
5096 | you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. | |
5097 | Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are | |
5098 | necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: | |
c609719b | 5099 | |
218ca724 WD |
5100 | $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- |
5101 | $ export CROSS_COMPILE | |
c609719b | 5102 | |
2f8d396b PT |
5103 | Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in |
5104 | the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain | |
5105 | (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW | |
5106 | toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: | |
5107 | ||
5108 | $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools | |
5109 | ||
5110 | Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can | |
5111 | be executed on computers running Windows. | |
5112 | ||
218ca724 WD |
5113 | U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the |
5114 | sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This | |
c609719b WD |
5115 | is done by typing: |
5116 | ||
ab584d67 | 5117 | make NAME_defconfig |
c609719b | 5118 | |
ab584d67 | 5119 | where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- |
4d675ae6 | 5120 | rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. |
db01a2ea | 5121 | |
2729af9d WD |
5122 | Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if |
5123 | additional information is available from the board vendor; for | |
5124 | instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) | |
5125 | or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" | |
11ccc33f | 5126 | when choosing the configuration, i. e. |
2729af9d | 5127 | |
ab584d67 | 5128 | make TQM823L_defconfig |
2729af9d WD |
5129 | - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support |
5130 | ||
ab584d67 | 5131 | make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig |
2729af9d WD |
5132 | - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD |
5133 | ||
5134 | etc. | |
5135 | ||
5136 | ||
5137 | Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot | |
5138 | images ready for download to / installation on your system: | |
5139 | ||
5140 | - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image | |
5141 | - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format | |
5142 | - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format | |
5143 | ||
baf31249 MB |
5144 | By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved |
5145 | in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change | |
5146 | this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: | |
5147 | ||
5148 | 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations: | |
5149 | ||
5150 | make O=/tmp/build distclean | |
ab584d67 | 5151 | make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig |
baf31249 MB |
5152 | make O=/tmp/build all |
5153 | ||
adbba996 | 5154 | 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location: |
baf31249 | 5155 | |
adbba996 | 5156 | export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build |
baf31249 | 5157 | make distclean |
ab584d67 | 5158 | make NAME_defconfig |
baf31249 MB |
5159 | make all |
5160 | ||
adbba996 | 5161 | Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment |
baf31249 MB |
5162 | variable. |
5163 | ||
2729af9d WD |
5164 | |
5165 | Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so | |
5166 | for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of | |
5167 | native "make". | |
5168 | ||
5169 | ||
5170 | If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need | |
5171 | to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these | |
5172 | steps: | |
5173 | ||
5174 | 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel | |
4d675ae6 MJ |
5175 | "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. |
5176 | Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. | |
2729af9d WD |
5177 | 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any |
5178 | files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least | |
5179 | the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". | |
5180 | 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for | |
5181 | your board | |
5182 | 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new | |
5183 | directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. | |
ab584d67 | 5184 | 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. |
2729af9d WD |
5185 | 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file |
5186 | to be installed on your target system. | |
5187 | 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. | |
5188 | [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] | |
5189 | ||
5190 | ||
5191 | Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: | |
5192 | ============================================================== | |
5193 | ||
218ca724 WD |
5194 | If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board |
5195 | or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to | |
2729af9d WD |
5196 | provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes |
5197 | the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest | |
218ca724 | 5198 | official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. |
2729af9d | 5199 | |
218ca724 WD |
5200 | But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- |
5201 | cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of | |
2729af9d WD |
5202 | the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, |
5203 | just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot | |
218ca724 WD |
5204 | for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can |
5205 | select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' | |
5206 | environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools | |
5207 | you can type | |
2729af9d WD |
5208 | |
5209 | CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL | |
5210 | ||
5211 | or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type | |
5212 | ||
5213 | CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL | |
5214 | ||
218ca724 WD |
5215 | When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build |
5216 | U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by | |
5217 | setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target | |
5218 | built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and | |
5219 | <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default | |
5220 | location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment | |
5221 | variable. For example: | |
baf31249 MB |
5222 | |
5223 | export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build | |
5224 | export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log | |
5225 | CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL | |
5226 | ||
218ca724 WD |
5227 | With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, |
5228 | log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean | |
5229 | during the whole build process. | |

5292 | Environment Variables: | |
5293 | ====================== | |
5294 | ||
5295 | U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which | |
5296 | can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. | |
c609719b | 5297 | |
2729af9d WD |
5298 | Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using |
5299 | "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" | |
5300 | without a value can be used to delete a variable from the | |
5301 | environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are | |
5302 | working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the | |
5303 | environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. | |
c609719b | 5304 | |
c96f86ee WD |
5305 | Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. |
5306 | ||

5320 | command can be restricted. This variable is given as | |
5321 | a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed | |
5322 | for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" | |
5323 | environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is | |
5324 | also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux | |
c3624e6e GL |
5325 | kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and |
5326 | bootm_mapsize. | |
5327 | ||

c3624e6e GL |
5329 | This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it |
5330 | defines the size of the memory region starting at base | |
5331 | address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel | |
5332 | during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used | |
5333 | as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is | |
5334 | used otherwise. | |
7d721e34 BS |
5335 | |
5336 | bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm | |

5343 | by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to | |
5344 | documentation in doc/README.update for more details. | |
5345 | ||

5346 | autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), |
5347 | "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the | |
5348 | configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to | |
5349 | load any image using TFTP | |
c609719b | 5350 | |
2729af9d WD |
5351 | autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", |
5352 | "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will | |
5353 | be automatically started (by internally calling | |
5354 | "bootm") | |
38b99261 | 5355 | |
2729af9d WD |
5356 | If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the |
5357 | "bootm" command will be copied to the load address | |
5358 | (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. | |
5359 | This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary | |
5360 | data. | |
c609719b | 5361 | |
a28afca5 DL |
5362 | fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the |
5363 | flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. | |
fa34f6b2 SG |
5364 | For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory |
5365 | at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel | |
5366 | only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you | |
5367 | may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the | |
5368 | device tree blob be copied to the maximum address | |
5369 | of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can | |
5370 | access it during the boot procedure. | |
5371 | ||
a28afca5 DL |
5372 | If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then |
5373 | the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this | |
5374 | to work it must reside in writable memory, have | |
5375 | sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to | |
5376 | add the information it needs into it, and the memory | |
5377 | must be accessible by the kernel. | |
5378 | ||
eea63e05 SG |
5379 | fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened |
5380 | device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is | |
5381 | defined. | |
5382 | ||
17ea1177 WD |
5383 | i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) |
5384 | if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast | |
5385 | mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in | |
5386 | initialization code. So, for changes to be effective | |
5387 | it must be saved and board must be reset. | |
5388 | ||
2729af9d WD |
5389 | initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: |
5390 | If this variable is not set, initrd images will be | |
5391 | copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this | |
5392 | is usually what you want since it allows for | |
5393 | maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to | |
5394 | make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the | |
6d0f6bcf | 5395 | CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment |
2729af9d WD |
5396 | variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". |
5397 | Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper | |
5398 | address to use (U-Boot will still check that it | |
5399 | does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). | |
c609719b | 5400 | |
2729af9d WD |
5401 | For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB |
5402 | RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, | |
5403 | you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of | |
5404 | the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make | |
5405 | sure that the initrd image is placed in the first | |
5406 | 12 MB as well - this can be done with | |
c609719b | 5407 | |
2729af9d | 5408 | setenv initrd_high 00c00000 |
c609719b | 5409 | |
2729af9d WD |
5410 | If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an |
5411 | indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal | |
5412 | for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash | |
5413 | memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the | |
5414 | ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the | |
5415 | boot time on your system, but requires that this | |
5416 | feature is supported by your Linux kernel. | |
c609719b | 5417 | |
2729af9d | 5418 | ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command |
c609719b | 5419 | |
2729af9d WD |
5420 | loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", |
5421 | "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" | |

2729af9d | 5423 | loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO |
a3d991bd | 5424 | |
2729af9d | 5425 | serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command |

c609719b | 5432 | |
e2a53458 | 5433 | ethprime - controls which interface is used first. |
c609719b | 5434 | |
e2a53458 MF |
5435 | ethact - controls which interface is currently active. |
5436 | For example you can do the following | |
c609719b | 5437 | |
48690d80 HS |
5438 | => setenv ethact FEC |
5439 | => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC | |
5440 | => setenv ethact SCC | |
5441 | => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC | |
c609719b | 5442 | |
e1692577 MF |
5443 | ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all |
5444 | available network interfaces. | |
5445 | It just stays at the currently selected interface. | |
5446 | ||
c96f86ee | 5447 | netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will |
2729af9d WD |
5448 | either succeed or fail without retrying. |
5449 | When set to "once" the network operation will | |
5450 | fail when all the available network interfaces | |
5451 | are tried once without success. | |
5452 | Useful on scripts which control the retry operation | |
5453 | themselves. | |
c609719b | 5454 | |
b4e2f89d | 5455 | npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode |
a1cf027a | 5456 | |
b445bbb4 | 5457 | silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by |
8d51aacd SG |
5458 | changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be |
5459 | made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If | |
5460 | unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console | |
5461 | is silent. | |
5462 | ||
28cb9375 | 5463 | tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's |
ecb0ccd9 WD |
5464 | UDP source port. |
5465 | ||
28cb9375 WD |
5466 | tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP |
5467 | destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. | |
5468 | ||
c96f86ee WD |
5469 | tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, |
5470 | we use the TFTP server's default block size | |
5471 | ||
5472 | tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- | |
5473 | seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines | |
5474 | when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to | |
5475 | be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. | |
5476 | Lowering this value may make downloads succeed | |
5477 | faster in networks with high packet loss rates or | |
5478 | with unreliable TFTP servers. | |
5479 | ||
5480 | vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over | |
11ccc33f | 5481 | Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q |
2729af9d | 5482 | VLAN tagged frames. |
c609719b | 5483 | |
dc0b7b0e JH |
5484 | The following image location variables contain the location of images |
5485 | used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is | |
5486 | not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment | |
5487 | variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP | |
5488 | server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be | |
5489 | loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR | |
5490 | flash or offset in NAND flash. | |
5491 | ||
5492 | *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some | |
aed9fed9 | 5493 | boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some |
dc0b7b0e JH |
5494 | boards use these variables for other purposes. |

5503 | The following environment variables may be used and automatically |
5504 | updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), | |
5505 | depending the information provided by your boot server: | |
c609719b | 5506 | |
2729af9d WD |
5507 | bootfile - see above |
5508 | dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server | |
5509 | dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server | |
5510 | gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use | |
5511 | hostname - Target hostname | |
5512 | ipaddr - see above | |
5513 | netmask - Subnet Mask | |
5514 | rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server | |
5515 | serverip - see above | |
c1551ea8 | 5516 | |
c1551ea8 | 5517 | |
2729af9d | 5518 | There are two special Environment Variables: |
c1551ea8 | 5519 | |
2729af9d WD |
5520 | serial# - contains hardware identification information such |
5521 | as type string and/or serial number | |
5522 | ethaddr - Ethernet address | |
c609719b | 5523 | |
2729af9d WD |
5524 | These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of |
5525 | the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables | |
5526 | once they have been set once. | |
c609719b | 5527 | |
f07771cc | 5528 | |
2729af9d | 5529 | Further special Environment Variables: |
f07771cc | 5530 | |
2729af9d WD |
5531 | ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed |
5532 | with the "version" command. This variable is | |
5533 | readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). | |
f07771cc | 5534 | |
f07771cc | 5535 | |
2729af9d WD |
5536 | Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take |
5537 | only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). | |

5540 | Callback functions for environment variables: |
5541 | --------------------------------------------- | |
5542 | ||
5543 | For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change | |
b445bbb4 | 5544 | when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to |
170ab110 JH |
5545 | be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or |
5546 | deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side | |
5547 | effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. | |
5548 | ||
5549 | The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the | |
5550 | U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. | |
5551 | ||
5552 | These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The | |
5553 | static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC | |
5554 | in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of | |
5555 | associations. The list must be in the following format: | |
5556 | ||
5557 | entry = variable_name[:callback_name] | |
5558 | list = entry[,list] | |
5559 | ||
5560 | If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. | |
5561 | Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. | |
5562 | ||
5563 | Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable | |
5564 | with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will | |
5565 | override any association in the static list. You can define | |
5566 | CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the | |
b445bbb4 | 5567 | ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment. |
170ab110 | 5568 | |
bdf1fe4e JH |
5569 | If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a |
5570 | regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to | |
5571 | the same callback without explicitly listing them all out. | |

5574 | Command Line Parsing: |
5575 | ===================== | |
f07771cc | 5576 | |
2729af9d WD |
5577 | There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: |
5578 | the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: | |
c609719b | 5579 | |
2729af9d WD |
5580 | Old, simple command line parser: |
5581 | -------------------------------- | |
c609719b | 5582 | |
2729af9d WD |
5583 | - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) |
5584 | - several commands on one line, separated by ';' | |
fe126d8b | 5585 | - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax |
2729af9d WD |
5586 | - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', |
5587 | for example: | |
fe126d8b | 5588 | setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} |
2729af9d WD |
5589 | - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: |
5590 | setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' | |
c609719b | 5591 | |
2729af9d WD |
5592 | Hush shell: |
5593 | ----------- | |
c609719b | 5594 | |
2729af9d WD |
5595 | - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like |
5596 | if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, | |
5597 | until...do...done, ... | |
5598 | - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv | |
5599 | commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax | |
5600 | "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" | |
5601 | command | |
5602 | ||
5603 | General rules: | |
5604 | -------------- | |
c609719b | 5605 | |
2729af9d WD |
5606 | (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" |
5607 | command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and | |
5608 | one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be | |
5609 | executed anyway. | |
c609719b | 5610 | |
2729af9d | 5611 | (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. |
11ccc33f | 5612 | calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing |
2729af9d WD |
5613 | command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining |
5614 | variables are not executed. | |
c609719b | 5615 | |
2729af9d WD |
5616 | Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: |
5617 | ======================================= | |
c609719b | 5618 | |
11ccc33f | 5619 | Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports |
2729af9d WD |
5620 | such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a |
5621 | "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: | |
c609719b | 5622 | |
2729af9d WD |
5623 | Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding |
5624 | MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), | |
5625 | "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... | |
c609719b | 5626 | |
2729af9d WD |
5627 | If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance |
5628 | in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- | |
5629 | ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment | |
5630 | variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: | |
c609719b | 5631 | |
2729af9d WD |
5632 | o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the |
5633 | environment, the SROM's address is used. | |
c609719b | 5634 | |
2729af9d WD |
5635 | o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the |
5636 | environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is | |
5637 | used. | |
c609719b | 5638 | |
2729af9d WD |
5639 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and |
5640 | both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. | |
c609719b | 5641 | |
2729af9d WD |
5642 | o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the |
5643 | addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a | |
5644 | warning is printed. | |
c609719b | 5645 | |
2729af9d | 5646 | o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error |
bef1014b JH |
5647 | is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case |
5648 | a random, locally-assigned MAC is used. | |
c609719b | 5649 | |
ecee9324 | 5650 | If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses |
c0f40859 | 5651 | will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This |
ecee9324 BW |
5652 | may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. |
5653 | The naming convention is as follows: | |
5654 | "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. | |
c609719b | 5655 | |

5656 | Image Formats: |
5657 | ============== | |
c609719b | 5658 | |
3310c549 MB |
5659 | U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) |
5660 | images in two formats: | |
5661 | ||
5662 | New uImage format (FIT) | |
5663 | ----------------------- | |
5664 | ||
5665 | Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar | |
5666 | to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple | |
5667 | components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by | |
5668 | SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. | |
5669 | ||
5670 | ||
5671 | Old uImage format | |
5672 | ----------------- | |
5673 | ||
5674 | Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, | |
5675 | preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for | |
5676 | details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: | |
c609719b | 5677 | |
2729af9d WD |
5678 | * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, |
5679 | 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, | |
f5ed9e39 PT |
5680 | LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; |
5681 | Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, | |
5682 | INTEGRITY). | |
7b64fef3 | 5683 | * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, |
afc1ce82 ML |
5684 | IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; |
5685 | Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). | |
2729af9d WD |
5686 | * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) |
5687 | * Load Address | |
5688 | * Entry Point | |
5689 | * Image Name | |
5690 | * Image Timestamp | |
c609719b | 5691 | |
2729af9d WD |
5692 | The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header |
5693 | and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by | |
5694 | CRC32 checksums. | |

5697 | Linux Support: |
5698 | ============== | |
c609719b | 5699 | |
2729af9d WD |
5700 | Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application |
5701 | easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of | |
5702 | U-Boot. | |
c609719b | 5703 | |
2729af9d WD |
5704 | U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some |
5705 | special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any | |
5706 | "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; | |
5707 | instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation | |
5708 | serves several purposes: | |
c609719b | 5709 | |
2729af9d WD |
5710 | - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone |
5711 | applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the | |
5712 | Flash memory footprint) | |
c609719b | 5713 | |
2729af9d WD |
5714 | - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because |
5715 | lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot | |
c609719b | 5716 | |
2729af9d WD |
5717 | - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" |
5718 | images; of course this also means that different kernel images can | |
5719 | be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't | |
5720 | have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just | |
5721 | change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the | |
5722 | software is easier now. | |

5725 | Linux HOWTO: |
5726 | ============ | |
c609719b | 5727 | |
2729af9d WD |
5728 | Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: |
5729 | --------------------------------------- | |
c609719b | 5730 | |
2729af9d WD |
5731 | U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to |
5732 | configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware | |
5733 | (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to | |
5734 | Linux :-). | |
c609719b | 5735 | |
a47a12be | 5736 | But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). |
24ee89b9 | 5737 | |
2729af9d WD |
5738 | Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance |
5739 | include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board | |
1dc30693 MH |
5740 | Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, |
5741 | and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value | |
6d0f6bcf | 5742 | as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. |
24ee89b9 | 5743 | |
2eb31b13 SG |
5744 | Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. |
5745 | If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there | |
5746 | is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See | |
5747 | doc/driver-model. | |
5748 | ||
c609719b | 5749 | |
2729af9d WD |
5750 | Configuring the Linux kernel: |
5751 | ----------------------------- | |
c609719b | 5752 | |
2729af9d WD |
5753 | No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root |
5754 | device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. | |
5755 | ||
5756 | ||
5757 | Building a Linux Image: | |
5758 | ----------------------- | |
c609719b | 5759 | |
2729af9d WD |
5760 | With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are |
5761 | not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target | |
5762 | "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by | |
5763 | U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, | |
5764 | which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a | |
5765 | 100% compatible format. | |
5766 | ||
5767 | Example: | |
5768 | ||
ab584d67 | 5769 | make TQM850L_defconfig |
2729af9d WD |
5770 | make oldconfig |
5771 | make dep | |
5772 | make uImage | |
5773 | ||
5774 | The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to | |
5775 | encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, | |
5776 | CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: | |
5777 | ||
5778 | * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): | |
5779 | ||
5780 | * convert the kernel into a raw binary image: | |
5781 | ||
5782 | ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ | |
5783 | -R .note -R .comment \ | |
5784 | -S vmlinux linux.bin | |
5785 | ||
5786 | * compress the binary image: | |
5787 | ||
5788 | gzip -9 linux.bin | |
5789 | ||
5790 | * package compressed binary image for U-Boot: | |
5791 | ||
5792 | mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ | |
5793 | -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ | |
5794 | -d linux.bin.gz uImage | |
c609719b | 5795 | |
c609719b | 5796 | |
2729af9d WD |
5797 | The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use |
5798 | with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or | |
5799 | combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 | |
5800 | byte header containing information about target architecture, | |
5801 | operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time | |
5802 | stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. | |
5803 | ||
5804 | "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and | |
5805 | print the header information, or to build new images. | |
5806 | ||
5807 | In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information | |
5808 | contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes | |
5809 | checksum verification: | |
c609719b | 5810 | |
2729af9d WD |
5811 | tools/mkimage -l image |
5812 | -l ==> list image header information | |
5813 | ||
5814 | The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image | |
5815 | from a "data file" which is used as image payload: | |
5816 | ||
5817 | tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ | |
5818 | -n name -d data_file image | |
5819 | -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' | |
5820 | -O ==> set operating system to 'os' | |
5821 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' | |
5822 | -C ==> set compression type 'comp' | |
5823 | -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) | |
5824 | -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) | |
5825 | -n ==> set image name to 'name' | |
5826 | -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' | |
5827 | ||
69459791 WD |
5828 | Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load |
5829 | address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the | |
5830 | kernel version: | |
2729af9d WD |
5831 | |
5832 | - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, | |
5833 | - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. | |
5834 | ||
5835 | So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: | |
5836 | ||
5837 | -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ | |
5838 | > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ | |
a47a12be | 5839 | > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ |
2729af9d WD |

5857 | ||
5858 | NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade | |
5859 | speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this | |
5860 | needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not | |
5861 | need to be uncompressed: | |
5862 | ||
a47a12be | 5863 | -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz |

5889 | The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i" |
5890 | option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d" | |
5891 | option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file" | |
5892 | from the image: | |
5893 | ||
f41f5b7c GMF |
5894 | tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file |
5895 | -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file' | |
5896 | -T ==> set image type to 'type' | |
5897 | -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image' | |

5900 | Installing a Linux Image: | |
5901 | ------------------------- | |
5902 | ||
5903 | To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, | |
5904 | you must convert the image to S-Record format: | |
5905 | ||
5906 | objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec | |
5907 | ||
5908 | The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot | |
5909 | image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to | |
5910 | address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to | |
5911 | specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' | |
5912 | command. | |
5913 | ||
5914 | Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the | |
5915 | TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): | |
5916 | ||
5917 | => erase 40100000 401FFFFF | |
5918 | ||
5919 | .......... done | |
5920 | Erased 8 sectors | |
5921 | ||
5922 | => loads 40100000 | |
5923 | ## Ready for S-Record download ... | |

5929 | [connected] | |
5930 | ## Start Addr = 0x00000000 | |
5931 | ||
5932 | ||
5933 | You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; | |
218ca724 | 5934 | this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data |
2729af9d WD |
5935 | corruption happened: |

5951 | The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in | |
5952 | memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents | |
5953 | of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as | |
5954 | parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the | |
5955 | "printenv" and "setenv" commands: | |
5956 | ||
5957 | ||
5958 | => printenv bootargs | |
5959 | bootargs=root=/dev/ram | |
5960 | ||
5961 | => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2 | |

6080 | More About U-Boot Image Types: |
6081 | ------------------------------ | |
6082 | ||
6083 | U-Boot supports the following image types: | |
6084 | ||
6085 | "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment | |
6086 | provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave | |
6087 | well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from | |
6088 | the Standalone Program. | |
6089 | "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which | |
6090 | will take over control completely. Usually these programs | |
6091 | will install their own set of exception handlers, device | |
6092 | drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot | |
6093 | expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. | |
6094 | "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their | |
6095 | parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is | |
6096 | being started. | |
6097 | "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS | |
6098 | (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like | |
6099 | RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want | |
6100 | to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot | |
6101 | server provides just a single image file, but you want to get | |
6102 | for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. | |
6103 | ||
6104 | "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each | |
6105 | image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network | |
6106 | byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". | |
6107 | Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by | |
6108 | one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to | |
6109 | a multiple of 4 bytes). | |
6110 | ||
6111 | "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like | |
6112 | U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to | |
6113 | flash memory. | |
6114 | ||
6115 | "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by | |
6116 | U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially | |
6117 | useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) | |
6118 | as command interpreter. | |

6120 | Booting the Linux zImage: |
6121 | ------------------------- | |
6122 | ||
6123 | On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done | |
6124 | using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same | |
6125 | as the syntax of "bootm" command. | |
6126 | ||
8ac28563 | 6127 | Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply |
017e1f3f MV |
6128 | kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the |
6129 | address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following | |
6130 | format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". | |

6133 | Standalone HOWTO: | |
6134 | ================= | |
6135 | ||
6136 | One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and | |
6137 | run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of | |
6138 | U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. | |
6139 | ||
6140 | Two simple examples are included with the sources: | |
6141 | ||
6142 | "Hello World" Demo: | |
6143 | ------------------- | |
6144 | ||
6145 | 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo | |
6146 | application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. | |
6147 | It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it | |
6148 | like that: | |
6149 | ||
6150 | => loads | |

6157 | ||
6158 | => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test. | |
6159 | ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... | |
6160 | Hello World | |
6161 | argc = 7 | |
6162 | argv[0] = "40004" | |
6163 | argv[1] = "Hello" | |
6164 | argv[2] = "World!" | |
6165 | argv[3] = "This" | |
6166 | argv[4] = "is" | |
6167 | argv[5] = "a" | |
6168 | argv[6] = "test." | |
6169 | argv[7] = "<NULL>" | |
6170 | Hit any key to exit ... | |
6171 | ||
6172 | ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 | |
6173 | ||
6174 | Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt | |
6175 | handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'. | |
6176 | Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second. | |
6177 | The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.' | |
6178 | character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be | |
6179 | controlled by the following keys: | |
6180 | ||
6181 | ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers | |
6182 | b - enable interrupts and start timer | |
6183 | e - stop timer and disable interrupts | |
6184 | q - quit application | |
6185 | ||

6221 | Minicom warning: | |
6222 | ================ | |
6223 | ||
6224 | Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the | |
6225 | "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) | |
6226 | consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under | |
6227 | Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and | |
6228 | especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and | |
e53515a2 KP |
6229 | use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See |
6230 | http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. | |
6231 | for help with kermit. | |
6232 | ||
2729af9d WD |
6233 | |
6234 | Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this | |
6235 | configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: | |
6236 | ||
6237 | Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi | |
6238 | X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N | |
6239 | Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N | |

6241 | ||
6242 | NetBSD Notes: | |
6243 | ============= | |
6244 | ||
6245 | Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host | |
6246 | (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx). | |
6247 | ||
6248 | Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on | |
6249 | NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also | |
6250 | need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make). | |
6251 | Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files; | |
6252 | attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is | |
6253 | missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually: | |
6254 | ||
6255 | # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include | |
6256 | # mkdir powerpc | |
6257 | # ln -s powerpc machine | |
6258 | # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h | |
6259 | # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST | |
6260 | ||
6261 | Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native | |
6262 | and U-Boot include files. | |
6263 | ||
6264 | Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a | |
6265 | stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel | |
6266 | proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source | |
6267 | tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the | |
2a8af187 | 6268 | meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz |

6271 | Implementation Internals: | |
6272 | ========================= | |
6273 | ||
6274 | The following is not intended to be a complete description of every | |
6275 | implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the | |
6276 | inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom | |
6277 | hardware. | |
6278 | ||
6279 | ||
6280 | Initial Stack, Global Data: | |
6281 | --------------------------- | |
6282 | ||
6283 | The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot | |
6284 | starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to | |
6285 | system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). | |
6286 | This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS | |
6287 | is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working | |
6288 | at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation | |
6289 | options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU | |
6290 | models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and | |
6291 | MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be | |
6292 | locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. | |
6293 | ||
218ca724 | 6294 | Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the |
0668236b | 6295 | U-Boot mailing list: |

6300 | ... | |
6301 | ||
6302 | Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it | |
6303 | is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not | |
6304 | require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness | |
6305 | is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of | |
6306 | necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's | |
11ccc33f | 6307 | beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you |
2729af9d WD |
6308 | can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and |
6309 | operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. | |
6310 | ||
6311 | OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It | |
6312 | is another option for the system designer to use as an | |
11ccc33f | 6313 | initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either |
2729af9d WD |
6314 | option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your |
6315 | board designers haven't used it for something that would | |
6316 | cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not | |
6317 | used. | |
6318 | ||
6d0f6bcf | 6319 | CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere |
2729af9d WD |
6320 | with your processor/board/system design. The default value |
6321 | you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in | |
8a316c9b | 6322 | walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger |
2729af9d WD |
6323 | than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set |
6324 | it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources | |
6325 | that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in | |
6326 | start.S has been around a while and should work as is when | |
6327 | you get the config right. | |
6328 | ||
6329 | -Chris Hallinan | |
6330 | DS4.COM, Inc. | |
6331 | ||
6332 | It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C | |
6333 | code for the initialization procedures: | |
6334 | ||
6335 | * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt | |
6336 | to write it. | |
6337 | ||
b445bbb4 | 6338 | * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized |
2729af9d WD |
6339 | as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- |
6340 | zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). | |
6341 | ||
6342 | * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like | |
6343 | that. | |
6344 | ||
6345 | Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use | |
b445bbb4 | 6346 | normal global data to share information between the code. But it |
2729af9d WD |
6347 | turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly |
6348 | simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all | |
6349 | functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ | |
6350 | functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of | |
6351 | the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we | |
6352 | place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we | |
6353 | reserve for this purpose. | |
6354 | ||
6355 | When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the | |
6356 | relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by | |
6357 | GCC's implementation. | |
6358 | ||
6359 | For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: | |
6360 | R1: stack pointer | |
e7670f6c | 6361 | R2: reserved for system use |
2729af9d WD |
6362 | R3-R4: parameter passing and return values |
6363 | R5-R10: parameter passing | |
6364 | R13: small data area pointer | |
6365 | R30: GOT pointer | |
6366 | R31: frame pointer | |
6367 | ||
e6bee808 JT |
6368 | (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 |
6369 | is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when | |
6370 | going back and forth between asm and C) | |
2729af9d | 6371 | |
e7670f6c | 6372 | ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data |
2729af9d WD |
6373 | |
6374 | Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the | |
6375 | address of the global data structure is known at compile time), | |
6376 | but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat | |
6377 | smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on | |
6378 | average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, | |
6379 | 624 text + 127 data). | |
6380 | ||
c4db335c | 6381 | On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: |

2729af9d WD |
6386 | On ARM, the following registers are used: |
6387 | ||
6388 | R0: function argument word/integer result | |
6389 | R1-R3: function argument word | |
12eba1b4 JH |
6390 | R9: platform specific |
6391 | R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) | |
2729af9d WD |
6392 | R11: argument (frame) pointer |
6393 | R12: temporary workspace | |
6394 | R13: stack pointer | |

6396 | R15: program counter | |
6397 | ||
12eba1b4 JH |
6398 | ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data |

6406 | ||
6407 | Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp | |
6408 | to access small data sections, so gp is free. | |
6409 | ||

6410 | On NDS32, the following registers are used: |

6412 | R0-R1: argument/return | |
6413 | R2-R5: argument | |
6414 | R15: temporary register for assembler | |

6416 | R28: frame pointer (FP) | |
6417 | R29: global pointer (GP) | |
6418 | R30: link register (LP) | |
6419 | R31: stack pointer (SP) | |

6421 | ||
6422 | ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data | |
6423 | ||
d87080b7 WD |
6424 | NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, |
6425 | or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. | |

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

6472 | System Initialization: | |
6473 | ---------------------- | |
c609719b | 6474 | |
2729af9d | 6475 | In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point |
11ccc33f | 6476 | (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset |
b445bbb4 | 6477 | configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory. |
2729af9d WD |
6478 | To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. |
6479 | To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) | |
6480 | initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs | |
6481 | which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked | |
6482 | part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, | |
6483 | the caches and the SIU. | |
6484 | ||
6485 | Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a | |
6486 | preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries | |
6487 | (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash | |
6488 | on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is | |
6489 | programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a | |
6490 | simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM | |
6491 | banks. | |
6492 | ||
6493 | When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of | |
6494 | different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first | |
6495 | bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address | |
6496 | 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create | |
6497 | contiguous memory starting from 0. | |
6498 | ||
6499 | Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area | |
6500 | and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board | |
6501 | Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM | |
6502 | pages, and the final stack is set up. | |
6503 | ||
6504 | Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; | |
6505 | until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are | |
6506 | running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a | |
6507 | new address in RAM. | |

6584 | Coding Standards: |
6585 | ----------------- | |
c609719b | 6586 | |
2729af9d | 6587 | All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel |
2c051651 | 6588 | coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script |
7ca9296e | 6589 | "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. |
2c051651 DZ |
6590 | |
6591 | Source files originating from a different project (for example the | |
6592 | MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not | |
b445bbb4 | 6593 | reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those |
2c051651 DZ |
6594 | sources. |
6595 | ||
6596 | Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in | |
6597 | Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) | |
6598 | in your code. | |
c609719b | 6599 | |
2729af9d WD |
6600 | Please also stick to the following formatting rules: |
6601 | - remove any trailing white space | |
7ca9296e | 6602 | - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces |
2729af9d | 6603 | - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds |
7ca9296e | 6604 | - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files |
2729af9d | 6605 | - do not add trailing empty lines to source files |
180d3f74 | 6606 | |
2729af9d WD |
6607 | Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned |
6608 | with a request to reformat the changes. | |

6611 | Submitting Patches: |
6612 | ------------------- | |
c609719b | 6613 | |
2729af9d WD |
6614 | Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to |
6615 | establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules | |
6616 | may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. | |
c609719b | 6617 | |
0d28f34b | 6618 | Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. |
218ca724 | 6619 | |
0668236b WD |
6620 | Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <[email protected]>; |
6621 | see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot | |
6622 | ||
2729af9d WD |
6623 | When you send a patch, please include the following information with |
6624 | it: | |
c609719b | 6625 | |
2729af9d WD |
6626 | * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes |
6627 | this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the | |
6628 | patch actually fixes something. | |
c609719b | 6629 | |
2729af9d WD |
6630 | * For new features: a description of the feature and your |
6631 | implementation. | |
c609719b | 6632 | |
2729af9d | 6633 | * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) |
c609719b | 6634 | |
2729af9d | 6635 | * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file |
c609719b | 6636 | |
27af930e AA |
6637 | * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a |
6638 | maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. | |
c609719b | 6639 | |
2729af9d WD |
6640 | * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to |
6641 | document these in the README file. | |
c609719b | 6642 | |
218ca724 WD |
6643 | * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* |
6644 | recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the | |
7ca9296e | 6645 | "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to |
218ca724 WD |
6646 | the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems |
6647 | with some other mail clients. | |
6648 | ||
6649 | If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of | |
6650 | diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of | |
6651 | GNU diff. | |
c609719b | 6652 | |
218ca724 WD |
6653 | The current directory when running this command shall be the parent |
6654 | directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that | |
6655 | your patch includes sufficient directory information for the | |
6656 | affected files). | |
6dff5529 | 6657 | |
218ca724 WD |
6658 | We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, |
6659 | and compressed attachments must not be used. | |
c609719b | 6660 | |
2729af9d WD |
6661 | * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several |
6662 | files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. | |
52f52c14 | 6663 | |
2729af9d WD |
6664 | * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be |
6665 | submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. | |
8bde7f77 | 6666 | |
52f52c14 | 6667 | |
2729af9d | 6668 | Notes: |
c609719b | 6669 | |
2729af9d WD |
6670 | * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched |
6671 | source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported | |
6672 | for any of the boards. | |
c609719b | 6673 | |
2729af9d WD |
6674 | * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch |
6675 | containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be | |
6676 | returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. | |
c609719b | 6677 | |
2729af9d WD |
6678 | * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not |
6679 | add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! | |
6680 | When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only | |
6681 | (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature | |
6682 | disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your | |
6683 | modification. | |
90dc6704 | 6684 | |
0668236b WD |
6685 | * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the |
6686 | u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are | |
6687 | reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches | |
6688 | bigger than the size limit should be avoided. |
