  11. Summary:
  12. ========
  13. This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
  14. Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
  15. processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
  16. initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
  17. code.
  18. The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
  19. the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
  20. header files in common, and special provision has been made to
  21. support booting of Linux images.
  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. Status:
  29. =======
  30. In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
  31. Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
  32. "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
  33. In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
  34. the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
  35. scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
  36. companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
  37. Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
  38. actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
  39. from the Git log using:
  40. make CHANGELOG

  136. Software Configuration:
  137. =======================
  138. Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
  139. rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
  140. There are two classes of configuration variables:
  141. * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  142. These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  143. "CONFIG_".
  144. * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  145. These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  146. you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  147. "CONFIG_SYS_".
  148. Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
  149. symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
  150. U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
  151. allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
  152. build.
  153. Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
  154. ---------------------------------------------------
  155. For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
  156. configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
  157. Example: For a TQM823L module type:
  158. cd u-boot
  159. make TQM823L_defconfig
  160. Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
  161. you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
  162. doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
  163. Sandbox Environment:
  164. --------------------
  165. U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
  166. board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
  167. specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
  168. run some of U-Boot's tests.
  169. See doc/arch/sandbox.rst for more details.
  170. Board Initialisation Flow:
  171. --------------------------
  172. This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
  173. SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
  174. Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
  175. more detail later in this file.
  176. At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
  177. and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
  178. may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
  179. CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
  180. Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
  181. CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
  182. - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
  183. - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
  184. - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
  185. and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
  186. limitations of each of these functions are described below.
  187. lowlevel_init():
  188. - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
  189. - no global_data or BSS
  190. - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
  191. - must not set up SDRAM or use console
  192. - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
  193. board_init_f()
  194. - this is almost never needed
  195. - return normally from this function
  196. board_init_f():
  197. - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
  198. i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
  199. - global_data is available
  200. - stack is in SRAM
  201. - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
  202. only stack variables and global_data
  203. Non-SPL-specific notes:
  204. - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
  205. can do nothing
  206. SPL-specific notes:
  207. - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
  208. version as needed.
  209. - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
  210. - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
  211. - there is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
  212. - for specific scenarios on certain architectures an early BSS *can*
  213. be made available (via CONFIG_SPL_EARLY_BSS by moving the clearing
  214. of BSS prior to entering board_init_f()) but doing so is discouraged.
  215. Instead it is strongly recommended to architect any code changes
  216. or additions such to not depend on the availability of BSS during
  217. board_init_f() as indicated in other sections of this README to
  218. maintain compatibility and consistency across the entire code base.
  219. - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
  220. directly)
  221. Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
  222. this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
  223. CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
  224. memory.
  225. board_init_r():
  226. - purpose: main execution, common code
  227. - global_data is available
  228. - SDRAM is available
  229. - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
  230. - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
  231. Non-SPL-specific notes:
  232. - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
  233. there.
  234. SPL-specific notes:
  235. - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
  236. CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
  237. - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
  238. done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
  239. spl_board_init() function containing this call
  240. - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
  241. Configuration Options:
  242. ----------------------
  243. Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
  244. such information is kept in a configuration file
  245. "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
  246. Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
  247. "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
  248. Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
  249. kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
  250. build a config tool - later.
  251. - ARM Platform Bus Type(CCI):
  252. CoreLink Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI) is ARM BUS which
  253. provides full cache coherency between two clusters of multi-core
  254. CPUs and I/O coherency for devices and I/O masters
  255. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCI400
  256. Defined For SoC that has cache coherent interconnect
  257. CCN-400
  258. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCN504
  259. Defined for SoC that has cache coherent interconnect CCN-504
  260. The following options need to be configured:

  268. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
  269. Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
  270. system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ

  277. then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
  278. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
  279. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
  280. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
  281. Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
  282. for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
  283. The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
  284. of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
  285. p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
  286. whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
  287. See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
  288. this erratum.
  289. CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
  290. Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
  291. required during NOR boot.
  292. CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
  293. Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
  294. required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
  295. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY

  303. which is directly connected to the DSP core.
  304. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
  305. This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
  306. connected to the DSP core.
  307. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
  308. This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
  309. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
  310. Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
  311. In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
  312. clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
  313. CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
  314. This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
  315. time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
  316. CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
  317. Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
  318. supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
  319. - Generic CPU options:
  320. CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
  321. Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
  322. values is arch specific.

  399. pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
  400. relocation.
  401. CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
  402. Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
  403. XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
  404. be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
  405. - ARM options:
  406. CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
  407. Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
  408. clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
  409. COUNTER_FREQUENCY
  410. Generic timer clock source frequency.
  411. COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
  412. Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
  413. different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
  414. at run time.
  415. - Tegra SoC options:
  416. CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
  417. Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
  418. impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
  419. such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
  420. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  421. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  422. When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
  423. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  424. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  425. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  426. New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
  427. passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
  428. concepts).
  429. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  430. * New libfdt-based support
  431. * Adds the "fdt" command
  432. * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
  433. OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
  434. OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
  435. boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
  436. addresses
  437. CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
  438. Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
  439. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
  440. CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
  441. Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
  442. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
  443. This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
  444. the kernel.
  445. CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
  446. U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
  447. If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
  448. removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
  449. so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
  450. crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
  451. no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
  452. CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
  453. This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
  454. machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
  455. number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
  456. (see https://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
  457. Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
  458. in a single configuration file and the machine type is
  459. runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
  460. - vxWorks boot parameters:
  461. bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
  462. environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
  463. serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
  464. It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
  465. Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will override
  466. the defaults discussed just above.
  467. - Cache Configuration:
  468. CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
  469. - Cache Configuration for ARM:
  470. CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
  471. controller
  472. CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
  473. controller register space
  474. - Serial Ports:
  475. CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
  476. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  477. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
  478. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  479. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  480. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  481. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  482. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  483. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  484. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  485. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  486. CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
  487. Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
  488. Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
  489. - Autoboot Command:
  490. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  491. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  492. define a command string that is automatically executed
  493. when no character is read on the console interface
  494. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  495. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  496. The value of these goes into the environment as
  497. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  498. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  499. RAM and NFS.
  500. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  501. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  502. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  503. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  504. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  505. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  506. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  507. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  508. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  509. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  510. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  511. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  512. - Removal of commands
  513. If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
  514. CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
  515. will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
  516. boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
  517. instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
  518. simple boot procedures.
  519. - Regular expression support:
  520. CONFIG_REGEX
  521. If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
  522. the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
  523. which adds regex support to some commands, as for
  524. example "env grep" and "setexpr".
  525. - Device tree:
  526. CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
  527. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
  528. to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
  529. compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
  530. experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
  531. tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
  532. U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
  533. be done using one of the three options below:
  534. CONFIG_OF_EMBED
  535. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
  536. binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
  537. board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
  538. is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
  539. the global data structure as gd->fdt_blob.
  540. CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
  541. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
  542. binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
  543. code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
  544. cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
  545. and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
  546. u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
  547. still use the individual files if you need something more
  548. exotic.
  549. CONFIG_OF_BOARD
  550. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
  551. provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
  552. the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
  553. this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
  554. - Watchdog:
  555. CONFIG_WATCHDOG
  556. If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
  557. support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
  558. specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
  559. CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
  560. register. When supported for a specific SoC is
  561. available, then no further board specific code should
  562. be needed to use it.
  563. CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
  564. When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
  565. SoC, then define this variable and provide board
  566. specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
  567. - Real-Time Clock:
  568. When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
  569. has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
  570. following options:
  571. CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
  572. CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
  573. CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
  574. CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
  575. CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
  576. CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
  577. CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
  578. CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
  579. CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
  580. CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
  581. CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
  582. CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
  583. RV3029 RTC.
  584. Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  585. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  586. - GPIO Support:
  587. CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
  588. The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
  589. chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
  590. pins supported by a particular chip.
  591. Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  592. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  593. - I/O tracing:
  594. When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
  595. accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
  596. to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
  597. useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
  598. the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
  599. change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
  600. add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
  601. to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
  602. Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
  603. Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
  604. still continue to operate.
  605. iotrace is enabled
  606. Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
  607. Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
  608. Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
  609. Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
  610. Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
  611. CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
  612. - Timestamp Support:
  613. When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
  614. (date and time) of an image is printed by image
  615. commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
  616. automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
  617. - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
  618. Zero or more of the following:
  619. CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
  620. CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
  621. CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
  622. bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
  623. disk/part_efi.c
  624. CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
  625. least one non-MTD partition type as well.
  626. - IDE Reset method:
  627. CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
  628. board configurations files but used nowhere!
  629. CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
  630. be performed by calling the function
  631. ide_set_reset(int reset)
  632. which has to be defined in a board specific file
  633. - ATAPI Support:
  634. CONFIG_ATAPI
  635. Set this to enable ATAPI support.
  636. - LBA48 Support
  637. CONFIG_LBA48
  638. Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
  639. Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
  640. Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
  641. support disks up to 2.1TB.
  642. CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
  643. When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
  644. Default is 32bit.
  645. - SCSI Support:
  646. CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
  647. CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
  648. CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
  649. maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
  650. devices.
  651. The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
  652. SCSI devices found during the last scan.
  653. - NETWORK Support (PCI):
  654. CONFIG_E1000
  655. Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
  656. CONFIG_E1000_SPI
  657. Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
  658. This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
  659. of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
  660. CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
  661. Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for

  696. Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
  697. Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
  698. If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
  699. wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
  700. useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
  701. control registers. This behavior won't affect the
  702. correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
  703. CONFIG_SH_ETHER
  704. Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller
  705. CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT

  738. functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
  739. Requires support for a TPM device.
  740. CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
  741. Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
  742. Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
  743. - USB Support:
  744. At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
  745. supported (PIP405, MIP405); define
  746. CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
  747. define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
  748. and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
  749. storage devices.
  750. Note:
  751. Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
  752. (TEAC FD-05PUB).
  753. CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
  754. txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
  755. CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
  756. HW module registers.
  757. - USB Device:
  758. Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
  759. Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
  760. command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
  761. attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
  762. it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
  763. can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
  764. appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
  765. Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
  766. If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
  767. a Linux host by
  768. # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
  769. else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
  770. variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
  771. might be defined in YourBoardName.h
  772. CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
  773. Define this to build a UDC device
  774. CONFIG_USB_TTY
  775. Define this to have a tty type of device available to
  776. talk to the UDC device
  777. CONFIG_USBD_HS
  778. Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
  779. device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
  780. int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
  781. also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
  782. whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
  783. speed.
  784. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  785. Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
  786. be set to usbtty.
  787. If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
  788. define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
  789. or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
  790. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
  791. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
  792. should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
  793. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
  794. Define this string as the name of your company for
  795. - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
  796. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
  797. Define this string as the name of your product
  798. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
  799. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
  800. Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
  801. Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
  802. to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
  803. - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
  804. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
  805. Define this as the unique Product ID
  806. for your device
  807. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
  808. - ULPI Layer Support:
  809. The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
  810. the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
  811. via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
  812. the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
  813. viewport is supported.
  814. To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
  815. CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
  816. If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
  817. standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
  818. the appropriate value in Hz.
  819. - MMC Support:
  820. The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
  821. enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
  822. accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
  823. to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
  824. enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
  825. the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
  826. CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
  827. Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
  828. CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
  829. Define the base address of MMCIF registers
  830. CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
  831. Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
  832. - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
  833. CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB
  834. This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
  835. CONFIG_DFU_NAND
  836. This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
  837. CONFIG_DFU_RAM
  838. This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
  839. Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
  840. allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
  841. one that would help mostly the developer.
  842. CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
  843. Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
  844. raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
  845. configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
  846. through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
  847. CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
  848. When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
  849. we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
  850. the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
  851. this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
  852. Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
  853. DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
  854. Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
  855. host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
  856. a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
  857. DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
  858. Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
  859. entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
  860. sending again an USB request to the device.
  861. - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
  862. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
  863. Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
  864. CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
  865. CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
  866. Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
  867. - Keyboard Support:
  868. See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
  869. CONFIG_KEYBOARD
  870. Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
  871. This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
  872. defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
  873. and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
  874. instead.
  875. - Video support:
  876. CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
  877. Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
  878. SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
  879. support, and should also define these other macros:
  880. CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
  881. CONFIG_VIDEO
  882. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  883. CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
  884. CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
  885. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  886. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
  887. The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
  888. variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
  889. boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
  890. description of this variable.
  891. - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
  892. Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
  893. display); also select one of the supported displays
  894. by defining one of these:
  895. CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
  896. HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
  897. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:

  899. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
  900. NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
  901. Active, color, single scan.
  902. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
  903. NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
  904. Active, color, single scan.
  905. CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
  906. Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
  907. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  908. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  909. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  910. Active, color, single scan.
  911. CONFIG_HLD1045
  912. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  913. Active, color, single scan.
  914. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  915. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  916. or
  917. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  918. or
  919. Hitachi SP14Q002
  920. 320x240. Black & white.
  921. CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
  922. Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
  923. defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
  924. For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
  925. here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
  926. a per-section basis.
  927. CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
  928. Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
  929. mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
  930. we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
  931. framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
  932. printed out.
  933. Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
  934. initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
  935. "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
  936. The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
  937. fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
  938. 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
  939. 1 = 90 degree rotation
  940. 2 = 180 degree rotation
  941. 3 = 270 degree rotation
  942. If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
  943. initialized with 0degree rotation.
  944. CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
  945. Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
  946. CONFIG_I2C_EDID
  947. Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
  948. information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
  949. - MII/PHY support:
  950. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  951. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  952. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  953. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  954. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  955. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  956. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  957. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  958. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  959. command issued before MII status register can be read
  960. - IP address:
  961. CONFIG_IPADDR
  962. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  963. the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
  964. determined through e.g. bootp.
  965. (Environment variable "ipaddr")
  966. - Server IP address:
  967. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  968. Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
  969. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  970. (Environment variable "serverip")
  971. CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
  972. Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
  973. for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
  974. - Gateway IP address:
  975. CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
  976. Defines a default value for the IP address of the
  977. default router where packets to other networks are
  978. sent to.
  979. (Environment variable "gatewayip")
  980. - Subnet mask:
  981. CONFIG_NETMASK
  982. Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
  983. routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
  984. address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
  985. forwarded through a router.
  986. (Environment variable "netmask")
  987. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  988. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  989. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  990. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  991. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  992. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  993. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  994. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  995. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  996. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  997. following delays are inserted then:
  998. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  999. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  1000. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  1001. 4th and following
  1002. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  1003. CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
  1004. BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
  1005. server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
  1006. U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
  1007. an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
  1008. aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
  1009. ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
  1010. respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
  1011. takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
  1012. time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
  1013. to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
  1014. retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
  1015. IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
  1016. cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
  1017. requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
  1018. from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
  1019. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  1020. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
  1021. CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
  1022. CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
  1023. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
  1024. CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
  1025. CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
  1026. CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
  1027. CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
  1028. CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
  1029. environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
  1030. CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
  1031. after the configured retry count, the call will fail
  1032. instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
  1033. to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
  1034. is not available.
  1035. CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
  1036. A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
  1037. receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
  1038. This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
  1039. respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
  1040. AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
  1041. to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
  1042. DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
  1043. least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
  1044. that one of the retries will be successful but note that
  1045. the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
  1046. this delay.
  1047. - Link-local IP address negotiation:
  1048. Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
  1049. for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
  1050. This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
  1051. to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
  1052. See doc/README.link-local for more information.
  1053. - MAC address from environment variables
  1054. FDT_SEQ_MACADDR_FROM_ENV
  1055. Fix-up device tree with MAC addresses fetched sequentially from
  1056. environment variables. This config work on assumption that
  1057. non-usable ethernet node of device-tree are either not present
  1058. or their status has been marked as "disabled".
  1059. - CDP Options:
  1060. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  1061. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  1062. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  1063. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  1064. of the device.
  1065. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  1066. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  1067. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  1068. eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  1069. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  1070. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  1071. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  1072. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  1073. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  1074. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  1075. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  1076. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  1077. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  1078. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  1079. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  1080. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  1081. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  1082. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  1083. - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
  1084. Several configurations allow to display the current
  1085. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  1086. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  1087. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  1088. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  1089. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  1090. kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
  1091. feature in U-Boot.
  1092. Additional options:
  1093. CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
  1094. The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
  1095. In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
  1096. status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
  1097. to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
  1098. CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
  1099. Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
  1100. case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
  1101. GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
  1102. In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
  1103. with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
  1104. - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
  1105. This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
  1106. i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set

  1246. If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
  1247. - Legacy I2C Support:
  1248. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
  1249. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  1250. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  1251. I2C_INIT
  1252. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  1253. controller or configure ports.
  1254. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  1255. I2C_ACTIVE
  1256. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  1257. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  1258. define can be null.
  1259. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  1260. I2C_TRISTATE
  1261. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  1262. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  1263. define can be null.
  1264. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  1265. I2C_READ
  1266. Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
  1267. false if it is low.
  1268. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  1269. I2C_SDA(bit)
  1270. If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  1271. is false, it clears it (low).
  1272. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  1273. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  1274. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  1275. I2C_SCL(bit)
  1276. If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  1277. is false, it clears it (low).
  1278. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  1279. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  1280. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  1281. I2C_DELAY
  1282. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  1283. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  1284. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  1285. like:
  1286. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  1287. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
  1288. If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
  1289. then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
  1290. used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
  1291. have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
  1292. You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
  1293. the generic GPIO functions.
  1294. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  1295. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  1296. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  1297. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  1298. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  1299. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  1300. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  1301. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  1302. is run early in the boot sequence.
  1303. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1304. This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
  1305. must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
  1306. active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
  1307. Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
  1308. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
  1309. This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
  1310. when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1311. is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
  1312. a 1D array of device addresses
  1313. e.g.
  1314. #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1315. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
  1316. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
  1317. #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1318. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
  1319. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
  1320. CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  1321. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
  1322. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
  1323. CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
  1324. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
  1325. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
  1326. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
  1327. defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
  1328. the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
  1329. between writing the address pointer and reading the
  1330. data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
  1331. of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
  1332. devices can use either method, but some require one or
  1333. the other.
  1334. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  1335. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  1336. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  1337. D/As on the SACSng board)
  1338. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  1339. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  1340. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  1341. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  1342. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  1343. defined, the board configuration must define several
  1344. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  1345. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  1346. CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
  1347. Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
  1348. default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
  1349. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
  1350. Enables FPGA subsystem.
  1351. CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
  1352. Enables support for specific chip vendors.
  1353. (ALTERA, XILINX)
  1354. CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
  1355. Enables support for FPGA family.
  1356. (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
  1357. CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  1358. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  1359. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  1360. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  1361. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  1362. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  1363. status by the configuration function. This option
  1364. will require a board or device specific function to
  1365. be written.
  1366. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  1367. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  1368. configuration driver.
  1369. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  1370. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  1371. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  1372. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  1373. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  1374. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  1375. indicated a CRC error).
  1376. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  1377. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
  1378. after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
  1379. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  1380. ms.
  1381. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  1382. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
  1383. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
  1384. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  1385. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  1386. 200 ms.
  1387. - Configuration Management:
  1388. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  1389. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  1390. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1391. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1392. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1393. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1394. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1395. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1396. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1397. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1398. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1399. change this behaviour:
  1400. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1401. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1402. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1403. these parameters.
  1404. Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
  1405. default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1406. Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1407. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1408. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1409. read-only.]
  1410. The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
  1411. for any variable by configuring the type of access
  1412. to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
  1413. or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
  1414. - Protected RAM:
  1415. CONFIG_PRAM
  1416. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1417. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1418. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1419. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1420. this default value by defining an environment
  1421. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1422. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1423. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1424. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1425. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1426. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1427. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1428. setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
  1429. saveenv
  1430. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1431. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1432. not be affected by reboots.
  1433. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1434. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1435. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1436. following board configurations are known to be
  1437. "pRAM-clean":
  1438. IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx,
  1439. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
  1440. FLAGADM
  1441. - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
  1442. Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
  1443. normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
  1444. support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
  1445. machines using physical address extension or similar.
  1446. Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
  1447. currently only supports clearing the memory.
  1448. - Error Recovery:
  1449. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1450. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1451. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1452. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1453. default value of 5 is used.
  1454. CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
  1455. Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
  1456. CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
  1457. Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
  1458. If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
  1459. try longer timeout such as
  1460. #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
  1461. - Command Interpreter:
  1462. CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1463. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1464. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1465. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1466. Note:
  1467. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1468. space and global environment variables space are
  1469. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1470. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1471. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1472. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1473. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1474. Global environment variables are those you use
  1475. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1476. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1477. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1478. To store commands and special characters in a
  1479. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1480. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1481. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1482. symbols.
  1483. - Command Line Editing and History:
  1484. CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
  1485. Enable support for changing the command prompt string
  1486. at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
  1487. The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
  1488. and PS2.
  1489. - Default Environment:
  1490. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1491. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1492. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1493. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1494. For example, place something like this in your
  1495. board's config file:
  1496. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1497. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1498. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1499. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1500. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1501. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1502. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1503. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1504. You better know what you are doing here.
  1505. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1506. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1507. the environment like the "source" command or the
  1508. boot command first.
  1509. CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
  1510. Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
  1511. initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
  1512. that so that the environment is not available until
  1513. explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
  1514. this is instead controlled by the value of
  1515. /config/load-environment.
  1516. - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
  1517. CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
  1518. If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
  1519. is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
  1520. If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
  1521. number generator is used.
  1522. Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
  1523. the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
  1524. defined, the normal port 69 is used.
  1525. The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
  1526. blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
  1527. target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
  1528. "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
  1529. the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
  1530. A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
  1531. but sometimes that is not allowed.
  1532. CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
  1533. This option defines a board specific value for the
  1534. address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
  1535. overwriting the architecture dependent default
  1536. settings.
  1537. - Frame Buffer Address:
  1538. CONFIG_FB_ADDR
  1539. Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
  1540. address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
  1541. when using a graphics controller has separate video
  1542. memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
  1543. the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
  1544. in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
  1545. the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
  1546. configured panel size.
  1547. Please see board_init_f function.
  1548. - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
  1549. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
  1550. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
  1551. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
  1552. These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
  1553. for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
  1554. - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
  1555. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
  1556. This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
  1557. erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
  1558. of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
  1559. wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
  1560. counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
  1561. The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
  1562. other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
  1563. However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
  1564. life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
  1565. to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
  1566. default: 4096
  1567. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
  1568. This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
  1569. expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
  1570. underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
  1571. flash), this value is ignored.
  1572. NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
  1573. (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
  1574. The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
  1575. then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
  1576. which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
  1577. count of eraseblocks on the chip).
  1578. To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
  1579. reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
  1580. handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
  1581. NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
  1582. that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
  1583. eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
  1584. size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
  1585. partition.
  1586. default: 20
  1587. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
  1588. Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
  1589. in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
  1590. only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
  1591. The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
  1592. the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
  1593. attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
  1594. a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
  1595. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
  1596. that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
  1597. without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
  1598. fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
  1599. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
  1600. Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
  1601. without a fastmap.
  1602. default: 0
  1603. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
  1604. Enable UBI fastmap debug
  1605. default: 0
  1606. - SPL framework
  1607. CONFIG_SPL
  1608. Enable building of SPL globally.
  1609. CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
  1610. LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
  1611. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
  1612. Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
  1613. When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
  1614. used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
  1615. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
  1616. must not be both defined at the same time.
  1617. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
  1618. Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
  1619. linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
  1620. When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
  1621. not exceed it.
  1622. CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
  1623. Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
  1624. CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
  1625. CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
  1626. Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
  1627. CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
  1628. Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
  1629. When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
  1630. by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
  1631. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
  1632. must not be both defined at the same time.
  1633. CONFIG_SPL_STACK
  1634. Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
  1635. CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
  1636. When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
  1637. loaded does not have a signature.
  1638. Defining this is useful when code which loads images
  1639. in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
  1640. will be caught.
  1641. An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
  1642. consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
  1643. and thus should be skipped silently.
  1644. CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
  1645. Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
  1646. relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
  1647. CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
  1648. CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
  1649. Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
  1650. When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
  1651. it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
  1652. can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
  1653. CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
  1654. The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
  1655. CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
  1656. Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
  1657. See also: doc/README.falcon
  1658. CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
  1659. For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
  1660. about the running system.
  1661. CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
  1662. Arch init code should be built for a very small image
  1663. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
  1664. Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
  1665. used in raw mode
  1666. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
  1667. Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
  1668. used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
  1669. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
  1670. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
  1671. Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
  1672. parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
  1673. (for falcon mode)
  1674. CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
  1675. Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
  1676. CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
  1677. Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
  1678. from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
  1679. CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
  1680. Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
  1681. when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
  1682. CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
  1683. Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
  1684. start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
  1685. continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
  1686. loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
  1687. CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
  1688. Avoid SPL relocation
  1689. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_IDENT
  1690. SPL uses the chip ID list to identify the NAND flash.
  1691. Requires CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE.
  1692. CONFIG_SPL_UBI
  1693. Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
  1694. loader
  1695. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
  1696. Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
  1697. if you need to save space.
  1698. CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
  1699. Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
  1700. SPL binary.
  1701. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
  1702. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
  1703. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
  1704. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
  1705. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
  1706. Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
  1707. to read U-Boot
  1708. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
  1709. Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
  1710. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
  1711. Location in memory to load U-Boot to
  1712. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
  1713. Size of image to load
  1714. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
  1715. Entry point in loaded image to jump to
  1716. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
  1717. Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
  1718. data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
  1719. CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
  1720. Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
  1721. CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
  1722. Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
  1723. the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
  1724. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
  1725. CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
  1726. payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
  1727. CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
  1728. Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
  1729. use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
  1730. example if more than one image needs to be produced.
  1731. CONFIG_SPL_FIT_PRINT
  1732. Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
  1733. code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
  1734. option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
  1735. bootm command when booting a FIT image.
  1736. - TPL framework
  1737. CONFIG_TPL
  1738. Enable building of TPL globally.
  1739. CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
  1740. Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
  1741. the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
  1742. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
  1743. CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
  1744. payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
  1745. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  1746. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  1747. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  1748. for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  1749. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  1750. CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  1751. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  1752. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
  1753. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  1754. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  1755. general timer_interrupt().
  1756. Board initialization settings:
  1757. ------------------------------
  1758. During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
  1759. to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
  1760. before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
  1761. following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
  1762. architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
  1763. typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
  1764. - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
  1765. - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
  1766. - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
  1767. - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
  1768. Configuration Settings:
  1769. -----------------------
  1770. - MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
  1771. Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
  1772. - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  1773. undefine this when you're short of memory.
  1774. - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
  1775. width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
  1776. - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
  1777. prompt for user input.
  1778. - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  1779. - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  1780. - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
  1781. - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
  1782. the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
  1783. booted
  1784. - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
  1785. List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
  1786. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
  1787. Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
  1788. If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
  1789. is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
  1790. This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
  1791. gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
  1792. the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
  1793. this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
  1794. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
  1795. If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
  1796. this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
  1797. (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
  1798. fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
  1799. the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
  1800. This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
  1801. board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
  1802. recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
  1803. will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
  1804. This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
  1805. CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
  1806. be touched.
  1807. WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
  1808. the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
  1809. then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
  1810. non page size aligned address and this could cause major
  1811. problems.
  1812. - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  1813. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  1814. - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
  1815. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  1816. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
  1817. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  1818. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
  1819. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  1820. make config files to be same as the text base address
  1821. (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  1822. CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  1823. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
  1824. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  1825. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  1826. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  1827. flash sector.
  1828. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
  1829. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  1830. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
  1831. Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
  1832. this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
  1833. will become available before relocation. The address is just
  1834. below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
  1835. space.
  1836. This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
  1837. within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
  1838. is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
  1839. The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
  1840. U-Boot relocates itself.
  1841. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
  1842. Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
  1843. boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
  1844. enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
  1845. - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
  1846. Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
  1847. typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
  1848. uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
  1849. otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
  1850. some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
  1851. cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
  1852. are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
  1853. cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
  1854. if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
  1855. size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
  1856. one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
  1857. written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
  1858. happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
  1859. buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
  1860. 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
  1861. Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
  1862. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
  1863. Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
  1864. uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
  1865. you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
  1866. to adjust this setting to your needs.
  1867. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
  1868. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  1869. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  1870. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
  1871. used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
  1872. environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
  1873. all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
  1874. and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
  1875. variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
  1876. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
  1877. then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
  1878. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
  1879. Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
  1880. initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
  1881. is enabled.
  1882. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
  1883. Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
  1884. "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
  1885. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
  1886. Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
  1887. space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
  1888. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  1889. Max number of Flash memory banks
  1890. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
  1891. Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
  1892. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
  1893. Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
  1894. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
  1895. Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
  1896. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
  1897. Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
  1898. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
  1899. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  1900. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
  1901. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  1902. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  1903. - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  1904. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  1905. without this option such a download has to be
  1906. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  1907. copy from RAM to flash.
  1908. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  1909. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  1910. the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
  1911. too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
  1912. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  1913. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
  1914. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  1915. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  1916. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  1917. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  1918. in the drivers directory
  1919. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
  1920. This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
  1921. in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
  1922. to the MTD layer.
  1923. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
  1924. Use buffered writes to flash.
  1925. - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
  1926. s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
  1927. write commands.
  1928. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
  1929. If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
  1930. print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
  1931. is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
  1932. optionally available.
  1933. - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
  1934. If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
  1935. digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
  1936. column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
  1937. - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
  1938. If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
  1939. against the source after the write operation. An error message
  1940. will be printed when the contents are not identical.
  1941. Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
  1942. since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
  1943. while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
  1944. this option if you really know what you are doing.
  1945. - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  1946. Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
  1947. Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  1948. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  1949. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  1950. on high Ethernet traffic.
  1951. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  1952. - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
  1953. Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
  1954. internally to store the environment settings. The default
  1955. setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
  1956. cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
  1957. lib/hashtable.c for details.
  1958. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
  1959. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
  1960. Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
  1961. calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
  1962. hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
  1963. the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
  1964. The format of the list is:
  1965. type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
  1966. access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
  1967. attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
  1968. entry = variable_name[:attributes]
  1969. list = entry[,list]
  1970. The type attributes are:
  1971. s - String (default)
  1972. d - Decimal
  1973. x - Hexadecimal
  1974. b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
  1975. i - IP address
  1976. m - MAC address
  1977. The access attributes are:
  1978. a - Any (default)
  1979. r - Read-only
  1980. o - Write-once
  1981. c - Change-default
  1982. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
  1983. Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
  1984. environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
  1985. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
  1986. Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
  1987. should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
  1988. environment variable. To override a setting in the static
  1989. list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
  1990. ".flags" variable.
  1991. If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
  1992. regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
  1993. flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
  1994. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  1995. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  1996. following configurations:
  1997. - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
  1998. Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
  1999. may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
  2000. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  2001. in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  2002. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
  2003. U-Boot will hang.
  2004. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  2005. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  2006. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  2007. to save the current settings.
  2008. BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
  2009. "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
  2010. environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
  2011. but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
  2012. - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
  2013. Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
  2014. environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
  2015. CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
  2016. Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
  2017. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  2018. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f()
  2019. until then to read environment variables.
  2020. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  2021. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  2022. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  2023. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  2024. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  2025. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  2026. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  2027. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  2028. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  2029. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  2030. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  2031. Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  2032. also needs to be defined.
  2033. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  2034. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  2035. - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
  2036. Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
  2037. and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
  2038. drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
  2039. space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
  2040. limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
  2041. - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
  2042. Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
  2043. when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
  2044. to do this.
  2045. - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
  2046. Similar to the previous option, but display this information
  2047. later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
  2048. present.
  2049. - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
  2050. Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
  2051. build system checks that the actual size does not
  2052. exceed it.
  2053. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  2054. ---------------------------------------------------
  2055. - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  2056. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  2057. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
  2058. Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
  2059. PowerPC SOCs.
  2060. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
  2061. Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
  2062. the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
  2063. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
  2064. Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
  2065. physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
  2066. be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
  2067. same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
  2068. is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
  2069. that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
  2070. #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
  2071. * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
  2072. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
  2073. Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
  2074. either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
  2075. used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
  2076. integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
  2077. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
  2078. Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
  2079. used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
  2080. integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
  2081. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
  2082. If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
  2083. forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
  2084. - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
  2085. Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
  2086. interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
  2087. When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
  2088. IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
  2089. registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
  2090. is required.
  2091. - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
  2092. DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
  2093. doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx systems only]
  2094. - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  2095. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  2096. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  2097. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  2098. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  2099. will become available only after programming the
  2100. memory controller and running certain initialization
  2101. sequences.
  2102. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  2103. - MPC8xx: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  2104. - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  2105. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  2106. area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  2107. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  2108. data is located at the end of the available space
  2109. (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
  2110. GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  2111. below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  2112. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  2113. Note:
  2114. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  2115. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  2116. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  2117. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  2118. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
  2119. - CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27)
  2120. - CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM:
  2121. SDRAM timing
  2122. - CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA:
  2123. periodic timer for refresh
  2124. - FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM,
  2125. CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP,
  2126. CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM,
  2127. CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM:
  2128. Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH)
  2129. - SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE,
  2130. CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM,
  2131. CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
  2132. Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
  2133. - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
  2134. Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
  2135. Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
  2136. something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
  2137. a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
  2138. by coreboot or similar.
  2139. - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
  2140. Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
  2141. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
  2142. Chip has SRIO or not
  2143. - CONFIG_SRIO1:
  2144. Board has SRIO 1 port available
  2145. - CONFIG_SRIO2:
  2146. Board has SRIO 2 port available
  2147. - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
  2148. Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
  2149. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
  2150. Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
  2151. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYxS:

  2153. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
  2154. Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
  2155. - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
  2156. Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
  2157. a 16 bit bus.
  2158. Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
  2159. Example of drivers that use it:
  2160. - drivers/mtd/nand/raw/ndfc.c
  2161. - drivers/mtd/nand/raw/mxc_nand.c
  2162. - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
  2163. Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
  2164. a default value will be used.
  2165. - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
  2166. Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
  2167. with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
  2168. SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
  2169. I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
  2170. - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  2171. If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
  2172. one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
  2173. to something your driver can deal with.
  2174. - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
  2175. Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
  2176. soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
  2177. parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
  2178. header files or board specific files.
  2179. - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
  2180. Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
  2181. - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
  2182. Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
  2183. - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
  2184. Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
  2185. - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
  2186. Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
  2187. be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
  2188. - CONFIG_RMII
  2189. Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
  2190. Note that this is a global option, we can't
  2191. have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
  2192. - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
  2193. Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
  2194. The syntax is:
  2195. => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
  2196. Where address/count indicate a memory area
  2197. and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
  2198. area should have.
  2199. - CONFIG_LOOPW
  2200. Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
  2201. the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
  2202. - CONFIG_CMD_MX_CYCLIC
  2203. Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
  2204. "md/mw" commands.
  2205. Examples:
  2206. => mdc.b 10 4 500
  2207. This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
  2208. => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
  2209. This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
  2210. This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
  2211. globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
  2212. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
  2213. [ARM, NDS32, MIPS, RISC-V only] If this variable is defined, then certain
  2214. low level initializations (like setting up the memory
  2215. controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
  2216. relocate itself into RAM.
  2217. Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
  2218. exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
  2219. other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
  2220. these initializations itself.
  2221. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
  2222. [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
  2223. to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
  2224. instruction cache) is still performed.
  2225. - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
  2226. Set when the currently-running compilation is for an artifact
  2227. that will end up in the SPL (as opposed to the TPL or U-Boot
  2228. proper). Code that needs stage-specific behavior should check
  2229. this.
  2230. - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
  2231. Set when the currently-running compilation is for an artifact
  2232. that will end up in the TPL (as opposed to the SPL or U-Boot
  2233. proper). Code that needs stage-specific behavior should check
  2234. this.
  2235. - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
  2236. Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
  2237. .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
  2238. previous 4k of the .text section.
  2239. - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
  2240. Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
  2241. effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
  2242. U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
  2243. to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
  2244. it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
  2245. addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
  2246. to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
  2247. - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
  2248. If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
  2249. needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
  2250. - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
  2251. Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
  2252. driver that uses this:
  2253. drivers/mtd/nand/raw/davinci_nand.c
  2254. Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
  2255. -----------------------------------
  2256. The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
  2257. loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
  2258. This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
  2259. are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
  2260. within that device.
  2261. - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
  2262. The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
  2263. meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_xxx macro
  2264. is also specified.
  2265. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
  2266. The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
  2267. meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_xxx macro
  2268. is also specified.
  2269. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
  2270. The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
  2271. has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
  2272. might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
  2273. local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
  2274. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
  2275. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
  2276. normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
  2277. virtual address in NOR flash.
  2278. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
  2279. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
  2280. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
  2281. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
  2282. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
  2283. device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
  2284. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
  2285. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
  2286. memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
  2287. can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
  2288. window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
  2289. master's memory space.
  2290. Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
  2291. ---------------------------------------------------------
  2292. The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
  2293. "firmware".
  2294. This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
  2295. are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
  2296. within that device.
  2297. - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
  2298. Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
  2299. Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
  2300. -------------------------------------------
  2301. The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
  2302. "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
  2303. This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
  2304. - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
  2305. Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
  2306. Reproducible builds
  2307. -------------------
  2308. In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
  2309. process have to be set to a fixed value.
  2310. This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
  2311. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
  2312. option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
  2313. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
  2314. Building the Software:
  2315. ======================
  2316. Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
  2317. and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
  2318. all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
  2319. (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
  2320. recommend to use the ELDK (see https://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
  2321. which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
  2322. If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
  2323. have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
  2324. you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
  2325. Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
  2326. necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
  2327. $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
  2328. $ export CROSS_COMPILE
  2329. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  2330. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  2331. is done by typing:
  2332. make NAME_defconfig
  2333. where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
  2334. rations; see configs/*_defconfig for supported names.
  2335. Note: for some boards special configuration names may exist; check if
  2336. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  2337. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  2338. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  2339. when choosing the configuration, i. e.
  2340. make TQM823L_defconfig
  2341. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  2342. make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
  2343. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  2344. etc.
  2345. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  2346. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  2347. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  2348. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  2349. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  2350. By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
  2351. in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
  2352. this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
  2353. 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
  2354. make O=/tmp/build distclean
  2355. make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
  2356. make O=/tmp/build all
  2357. 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
  2358. export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
  2359. make distclean
  2360. make NAME_defconfig
  2361. make all
  2362. Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
  2363. variable.
  2364. User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
  2365. setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
  2366. For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
  2367. make KCFLAGS=-Werror
  2368. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  2369. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  2370. native "make".
  2371. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  2372. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  2373. steps:
  2374. 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  2375. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  2376. the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
  2377. 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  2378. your board.
  2379. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  2380. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  2381. 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
  2382. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  2383. to be installed on your target system.
  2384. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  2385. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  2386. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  2387. ==============================================================
  2388. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  2389. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  2390. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  2391. the form of a "patch", i.e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  2392. official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
  2393. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  2394. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  2395. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  2396. just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
  2397. configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
  2398. will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
  2399. for documentation.
  2400. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

  2452. Environment Variables:
  2453. ======================
  2454. U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
  2455. can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
  2456. Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
  2457. "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
  2458. without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
  2459. environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
  2460. working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
  2461. environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
  2462. Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
  2463. List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
  2464. baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
  2465. bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  2466. bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  2467. bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
  2468. bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
  2469. bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2470. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2471. a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
  2472. for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
  2473. environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
  2474. also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
  2475. kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
  2476. bootm_mapsize.
  2477. bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
  2478. This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
  2479. defines the size of the memory region starting at base
  2480. address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
  2481. during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
  2482. as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
  2483. used otherwise.
  2484. bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2485. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2486. a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
  2487. allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
  2488. environment variable.
  2489. bootstopkeysha256, bootdelaykey, bootstopkey - See README.autoboot
  2490. updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
  2491. by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
  2492. documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
  2493. autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
  2494. "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
  2495. configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
  2496. load any image using TFTP
  2497. autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
  2498. "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
  2499. be automatically started (by internally calling
  2500. "bootm")
  2501. If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
  2502. "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
  2503. (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
  2504. This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
  2505. data.
  2506. fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
  2507. flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
  2508. For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
  2509. at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
  2510. only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
  2511. may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
  2512. device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
  2513. of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
  2514. access it during the boot procedure.
  2515. If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
  2516. the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
  2517. to work it must reside in writable memory, have
  2518. sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
  2519. add the information it needs into it, and the memory
  2520. must be accessible by the kernel.
  2521. fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
  2522. device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
  2523. defined.
  2524. i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  2525. if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
  2526. mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
  2527. initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
  2528. it must be saved and board must be reset.
  2529. initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
  2530. If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
  2531. copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
  2532. is usually what you want since it allows for
  2533. maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
  2534. make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
  2535. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
  2536. variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
  2537. Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
  2538. address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
  2539. does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
  2540. For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
  2541. RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
  2542. you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
  2543. the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
  2544. sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
  2545. 12 MB as well - this can be done with
  2546. setenv initrd_high 00c00000
  2547. If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
  2548. indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
  2549. for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
  2550. memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
  2551. ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
  2552. boot time on your system, but requires that this
  2553. feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
  2554. ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2555. loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
  2556. "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
  2557. loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  2558. serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2559. bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  2560. bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  2561. bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  2562. ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
  2563. ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
  2564. For example you can do the following
  2565. => setenv ethact FEC
  2566. => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
  2567. => setenv ethact SCC
  2568. => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
  2569. ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
  2570. available network interfaces.
  2571. It just stays at the currently selected interface.
  2572. netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
  2573. either succeed or fail without retrying.
  2574. When set to "once" the network operation will
  2575. fail when all the available network interfaces
  2576. are tried once without success.
  2577. Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
  2578. themselves.
  2579. npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
  2580. silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
  2581. changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
  2582. made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
  2583. unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
  2584. is silent.
  2585. tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
  2586. UDP source port.
  2587. tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
  2588. destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
  2589. tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
  2590. we use the TFTP server's default block size
  2591. tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
  2592. seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
  2593. when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
  2594. be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
  2595. Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
  2596. faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
  2597. with unreliable TFTP servers.
  2598. tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
  2599. unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
  2600. can happen during a single file transfer before that
  2601. transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
  2602. 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
  2603. downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
  2604. unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
  2605. tftpwindowsize - if this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
  2606. window size as described by RFC 7440.
  2607. This means the count of blocks we can receive before
  2608. sending ack to server.
  2609. vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
  2610. Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
  2611. VLAN tagged frames.
  2612. bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
  2613. Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
  2614. be either the default (28000), or a value based on
  2615. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
  2616. precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
  2617. memmatches - Number of matches found by the last 'ms' command, in hex
  2618. memaddr - Address of the last match found by the 'ms' command, in hex,
  2619. or 0 if none
  2620. mempos - Index position of the last match found by the 'ms' command,
  2621. in units of the size (.b, .w, .l) of the search
  2622. zbootbase - (x86 only) Base address of the bzImage 'setup' block
  2623. zbootaddr - (x86 only) Address of the loaded bzImage, typically
  2624. BZIMAGE_LOAD_ADDR which is 0x100000
  2625. The following image location variables contain the location of images
  2626. used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
  2627. not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
  2628. variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
  2629. server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
  2630. loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
  2631. flash or offset in NAND flash.
  2632. *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
  2633. boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
  2634. boards use these variables for other purposes.
  2635. Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
  2636. ----- --------- ----------- --------------
  2637. u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
  2638. Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
  2639. device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
  2640. ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
  2641. The following environment variables may be used and automatically
  2642. updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
  2643. depending the information provided by your boot server:
  2644. bootfile - see above
  2645. dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
  2646. dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
  2647. gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
  2648. hostname - Target hostname
  2649. ipaddr - see above
  2650. netmask - Subnet Mask
  2651. rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
  2652. serverip - see above
  2653. There are two special Environment Variables:
  2654. serial# - contains hardware identification information such
  2655. as type string and/or serial number
  2656. ethaddr - Ethernet address
  2657. These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
  2658. the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
  2659. once they have been set once.
  2660. Further special Environment Variables:
  2661. ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
  2662. with the "version" command. This variable is
  2663. readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
  2664. Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
  2665. only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
  2666. Callback functions for environment variables:
  2667. ---------------------------------------------
  2668. For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
  2669. when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
  2670. be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
  2671. deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
  2672. effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
  2673. The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
  2674. U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
  2675. These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
  2676. static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
  2677. in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
  2678. associations. The list must be in the following format:
  2679. entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
  2680. list = entry[,list]
  2681. If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
  2682. Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
  2683. Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
  2684. with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
  2685. override any association in the static list. You can define
  2686. CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
  2687. ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
  2688. If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
  2689. regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
  2690. the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
  2691. The signature of the callback functions is:
  2692. int callback(const char *name, const char *value, enum env_op op, int flags)
  2693. * name - changed environment variable
  2694. * value - new value of the environment variable
  2695. * op - operation (create, overwrite, or delete)
  2696. * flags - attributes of the environment variable change, see flags H_* in
  2697. include/search.h
  2698. The return value is 0 if the variable change is accepted and 1 otherwise.
  2699. Command Line Parsing:
  2700. =====================
  2701. There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
  2702. the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
  2703. Old, simple command line parser:
  2704. --------------------------------
  2705. - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
  2706. - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
  2707. - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
  2708. - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
  2709. for example:
  2710. setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
  2711. - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
  2712. setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
  2713. Hush shell:
  2714. -----------
  2715. - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
  2716. if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
  2717. until...do...done, ...
  2718. - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
  2719. commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
  2720. "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
  2721. command
  2722. General rules:
  2723. --------------
  2724. (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
  2725. command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
  2726. one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
  2727. executed anyway.
  2728. (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
  2729. calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
  2730. command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
  2731. variables are not executed.
  2732. Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
  2733. =======================================
  2734. Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
  2735. such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
  2736. "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
  2737. Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
  2738. MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
  2739. "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
  2740. If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
  2741. in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
  2742. ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
  2743. variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
  2744. o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  2745. environment, the SROM's address is used.
  2746. o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  2747. environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  2748. used.
  2749. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  2750. both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
  2751. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
  2752. addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
  2753. warning is printed.
  2754. o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
  2755. is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
  2756. a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
  2757. If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
  2758. will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
  2759. may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
  2760. The naming convention is as follows:
  2761. "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
  2762. Image Formats:
  2763. ==============
  2764. U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
  2765. images in two formats:
  2766. New uImage format (FIT)
  2767. -----------------------
  2768. Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
  2769. to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
  2770. components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
  2771. SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
  2772. Old uImage format
  2773. -----------------
  2774. Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
  2775. preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
  2776. details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
  2777. * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  2778. 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
  2779. LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
  2780. Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
  2781. INTEGRITY).
  2782. * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86,
  2783. IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
  2784. Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
  2785. * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
  2786. * Load Address
  2787. * Entry Point
  2788. * Image Name
  2789. * Image Timestamp
  2790. The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
  2791. and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
  2792. CRC32 checksums.
  2793. Linux Support:
  2794. ==============
  2795. Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
  2796. easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
  2797. U-Boot.
  2798. U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
  2799. special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
  2800. "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
  2801. instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
  2802. serves several purposes:
  2803. - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  2804. applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  2805. Flash memory footprint)
  2806. - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  2807. lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
  2808. - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  2809. images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  2810. be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  2811. have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  2812. change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  2813. software is easier now.
  2814. Linux HOWTO:
  2815. ============
  2816. Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
  2817. ---------------------------------------
  2818. U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
  2819. configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
  2820. (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
  2821. Linux :-).
  2822. But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
  2823. Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
  2824. include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
  2825. Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
  2826. and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
  2827. as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
  2828. Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
  2829. If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
  2830. is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
  2831. doc/driver-model.
  2832. Configuring the Linux kernel:
  2833. -----------------------------
  2834. No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
  2835. device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
  2836. Building a Linux Image:
  2837. -----------------------
  2838. With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
  2839. not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
  2840. "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
  2841. U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
  2842. which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
  2843. 100% compatible format.
  2844. Example:
  2845. make TQM850L_defconfig
  2846. make oldconfig
  2847. make dep
  2848. make uImage
  2849. The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
  2850. encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
  2851. CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
  2852. * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
  2853. * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
  2854. ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
  2855. -R .note -R .comment \
  2856. -S vmlinux linux.bin
  2857. * compress the binary image:
  2858. gzip -9 linux.bin
  2859. * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
  2860. mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
  2861. -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
  2862. -d linux.bin.gz uImage
  2863. The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
  2864. with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
  2865. combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
  2866. byte header containing information about target architecture,
  2867. operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
  2868. stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
  2869. "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
  2870. print the header information, or to build new images.
  2871. In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
  2872. contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
  2873. checksum verification:
  2874. tools/mkimage -l image
  2875. -l ==> list image header information
  2876. The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
  2877. from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
  2878. tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
  2879. -n name -d data_file image
  2880. -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  2881. -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  2882. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  2883. -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  2884. -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  2885. -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  2886. -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  2887. -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  2888. Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
  2889. address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
  2890. kernel version:
  2891. - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
  2892. - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
  2893. So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
  2894. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2895. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
  2896. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
  2897. > examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2898. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2899. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2900. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2901. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2902. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2903. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2904. To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
  2905. -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2906. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2907. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

  2910. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2911. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2912. NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
  2913. speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
  2914. needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
  2915. need to be uncompressed:
  2916. -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
  2917. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2918. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
  2919. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
  2920. > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
  2921. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

  2923. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)

  2925. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2926. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2927. Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
  2928. when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
  2929. -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
  2930. > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
  2931. > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
  2932. Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image

  2934. Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
  2935. Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
  2936. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2937. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2938. The "dumpimage" tool can be used to disassemble or list the contents of images
  2939. built by mkimage. See dumpimage's help output (-h) for details.
  2940. Installing a Linux Image:
  2941. -------------------------
  2942. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  2943. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  2944. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  2945. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  2946. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  2947. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  2948. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  2949. command.
  2950. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  2951. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  2952. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
  2953. .......... done
  2954. Erased 8 sectors

  2964. You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
  2965. this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
  2966. corruption happened:
  2967. => imi 40100000

  2975. Boot Linux:
  2976. -----------
  2977. The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
  2978. memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
  2979. of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
  2980. parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
  2981. "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
  2982. => printenv bootargs
  2983. bootargs=root=/dev/ram
  2984. => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
  2985. => printenv bootargs
  2986. bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

  3090. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  3091. ------------------------------
  3092. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  3093. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  3094. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  3095. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  3096. the Standalone Program.
  3097. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  3098. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  3099. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  3100. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  3101. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  3102. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  3103. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  3104. being started.
  3105. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  3106. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  3107. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  3108. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  3109. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  3110. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  3111. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  3112. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  3113. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  3114. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  3115. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  3116. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  3117. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  3118. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  3119. flash memory.
  3120. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  3121. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  3122. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  3123. as command interpreter.
  3124. Booting the Linux zImage:
  3125. -------------------------
  3126. On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
  3127. using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
  3128. as the syntax of "bootm" command.
  3129. Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
  3130. kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
  3131. address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
  3132. format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
  3133. Standalone HOWTO:
  3134. =================
  3135. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  3136. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  3137. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  3138. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  3139. "Hello World" Demo:
  3140. -------------------
  3141. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  3142. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  3143. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  3144. like that:
  3145. => loads
  3146. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  3147. ~>examples/hello_world.srec

  3152. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  3153. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  3154. Hello World
  3155. argc = 7
  3156. argv[0] = "40004"
  3157. argv[1] = "Hello"
  3158. argv[2] = "World!"
  3159. argv[3] = "This"
  3160. argv[4] = "is"
  3161. argv[5] = "a"
  3162. argv[6] = "test."
  3163. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  3164. Hit any key to exit ...
  3165. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  3166. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  3167. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  3168. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  3169. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  3170. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  3171. controlled by the following keys:
  3172. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  3173. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  3174. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  3175. q - quit application

  3207. Minicom warning:
  3208. ================
  3209. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  3210. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  3211. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  3212. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  3213. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  3214. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
  3215. https://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
  3216. for help with kermit.
  3217. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  3218. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  3219. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  3220. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  3221. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  3222. NetBSD Notes:
  3223. =============
  3224. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  3225. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  3226. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  3227. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  3228. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  3229. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  3230. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  3231. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  3232. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  3233. # mkdir powerpc
  3234. # ln -s powerpc machine
  3235. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  3236. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  3237. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  3238. and U-Boot include files.
  3239. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  3240. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  3241. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  3242. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  3243. meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
  3244. Implementation Internals:
  3245. =========================
  3246. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  3247. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  3248. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  3249. hardware.
  3250. Initial Stack, Global Data:
  3251. ---------------------------
  3252. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  3253. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  3254. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  3255. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  3256. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  3257. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  3258. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  3259. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  3260. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  3261. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  3262. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  3263. U-Boot mailing list:
  3264. Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
  3265. From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
  3266. Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
  3267. ...
  3268. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  3269. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  3270. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  3271. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  3272. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  3273. beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
  3274. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  3275. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  3276. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  3277. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  3278. initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  3279. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  3280. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  3281. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  3282. used.
  3283. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  3284. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  3285. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  3286. walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  3287. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  3288. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  3289. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  3290. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  3291. you get the config right.
  3292. -Chris Hallinan

  3294. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  3295. code for the initialization procedures:
  3296. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  3297. to write it.
  3298. * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
  3299. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  3300. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  3301. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  3302. that.
  3303. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  3304. normal global data to share information between the code. But it
  3305. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  3306. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  3307. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  3308. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  3309. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  3310. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  3311. reserve for this purpose.
  3312. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  3313. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  3314. GCC's implementation.
  3315. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  3316. R1: stack pointer
  3317. R2: reserved for system use
  3318. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  3319. R5-R10: parameter passing
  3320. R13: small data area pointer
  3321. R30: GOT pointer
  3322. R31: frame pointer
  3323. (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
  3324. is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
  3325. going back and forth between asm and C)
  3326. ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3327. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  3328. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  3329. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  3330. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  3331. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  3332. 624 text + 127 data).
  3333. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  3334. R0: function argument word/integer result
  3335. R1-R3: function argument word
  3336. R9: platform specific
  3337. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
  3338. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  3339. R12: temporary workspace
  3340. R13: stack pointer
  3341. R14: link register
  3342. R15: program counter
  3343. ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3344. Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
  3345. On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
  3346. https://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
  3347. ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
  3348. Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
  3349. to access small data sections, so gp is free.
  3350. On NDS32, the following registers are used:
  3351. R0-R1: argument/return
  3352. R2-R5: argument
  3353. R15: temporary register for assembler
  3354. R16: trampoline register
  3355. R28: frame pointer (FP)
  3356. R29: global pointer (GP)
  3357. R30: link register (LP)
  3358. R31: stack pointer (SP)
  3359. PC: program counter (PC)
  3360. ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3361. NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
  3362. or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
  3363. On RISC-V, the following registers are used:
  3364. x0: hard-wired zero (zero)
  3365. x1: return address (ra)
  3366. x2: stack pointer (sp)
  3367. x3: global pointer (gp)
  3368. x4: thread pointer (tp)
  3369. x5: link register (t0)
  3370. x8: frame pointer (fp)
  3371. x10-x11: arguments/return values (a0-1)
  3372. x12-x17: arguments (a2-7)
  3373. x28-31: temporaries (t3-6)
  3374. pc: program counter (pc)
  3375. ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
  3376. Memory Management:
  3377. ------------------
  3378. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  3379. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  3380. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  3381. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  3382. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  3383. physical memory banks.
  3384. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  3385. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  3386. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  3387. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  3388. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
  3389. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  3390. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  3391. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  3392. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  3393. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  3394. this:
  3395. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
  3396. :
  3397. 0x0000 1FFF
  3398. 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
  3399. :
  3400. :
  3401. :
  3402. :
  3403. 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
  3404. 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
  3405. 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
  3406. :
  3407. 0x00FD FFFF
  3408. 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
  3409. ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
  3410. ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
  3411. 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
  3412. System Initialization:
  3413. ----------------------
  3414. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  3415. (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  3416. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
  3417. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  3418. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  3419. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  3420. which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
  3421. cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
  3422. the SIU.
  3423. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  3424. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  3425. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  3426. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  3427. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  3428. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  3429. banks.
  3430. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  3431. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  3432. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  3433. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  3434. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  3435. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  3436. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  3437. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  3438. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  3439. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  3440. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  3441. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  3442. new address in RAM.

  3501. Coding Standards:
  3502. -----------------
  3503. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  3504. coding style; see the kernel coding style guide at
  3505. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html, and the
  3506. script "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
  3507. Source files originating from a different project (for example the
  3508. MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
  3509. reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
  3510. sources.
  3511. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
  3512. Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
  3513. in your code.
  3514. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  3515. - remove any trailing white space
  3516. - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
  3517. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  3518. - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
  3519. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  3520. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  3521. with a request to reformat the changes.
  3522. Submitting Patches:
  3523. -------------------
  3524. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  3525. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  3526. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  3527. Please see https://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
  3528. Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
  3529. see https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
  3530. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  3531. it:
  3532. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  3533. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  3534. patch actually fixes something.
  3535. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  3536. implementation.
  3537. * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
  3538. information and associated file and directory references.
  3539. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
  3540. maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
  3541. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  3542. document these in the README file.
  3543. * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
  3544. recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
  3545. "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
  3546. the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
  3547. with some other mail clients.
  3548. If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
  3549. diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
  3550. GNU diff.
  3551. The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
  3552. directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
  3553. your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
  3554. affected files).
  3555. We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
  3556. and compressed attachments must not be used.
  3557. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  3558. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  3559. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  3560. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  3561. Notes:
  3562. * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
  3563. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  3564. for any of the boards.
  3565. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  3566. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  3567. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  3568. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  3569. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  3570. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  3571. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  3572. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  3573. modification.
  3574. * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
  3575. u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
  3576. reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
  3577. bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
