  5. Summary:
  6. ========
  7. This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
  8. Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
  9. processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
  10. initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
  11. code.
  12. The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
  13. the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
  14. header files in common, and special provision has been made to
  15. support booting of Linux images.
  16. Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
  17. configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
  18. implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
  19. add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
  20. code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
  21. load and run it dynamically.
  22. Status:
  23. =======
  24. In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
  25. Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
  26. "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
  27. In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
  28. the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
  29. scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
  30. companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
  31. Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
  32. actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
  33. from the Git log using:
  34. make CHANGELOG
  35. Where to get help:
  36. ==================
  37. In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for
  38. U-Boot, you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at

  83. Versioning:
  84. ===========
  85. Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases
  86. were changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning
  87. into a time stamp based numbering. Regular releases are identified by
  88. names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date.
  89. Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix
  90. releases in "stable" maintenance trees.
  91. Examples:

  130. Software Configuration:
  131. =======================
  132. Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
  133. rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
  134. There are two classes of configuration variables:
  135. * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  136. These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  137. "CONFIG_".
  138. * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  139. These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  140. you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  141. "CONFIG_SYS_".
  142. Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
  143. symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
  144. U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
  145. allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
  146. build.
  147. Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
  148. ---------------------------------------------------
  149. For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
  150. configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
  151. Example: For a TQM823L module type:
  152. cd u-boot
  153. make TQM823L_defconfig
  154. Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
  155. you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
  156. doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
  157. Sandbox Environment:
  158. --------------------
  159. U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
  160. board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
  161. specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
  162. run some of U-Boot's tests.
  163. See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
  164. Board Initialisation Flow:
  165. --------------------------
  166. This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
  167. SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
  168. Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
  169. more detail later in this file.
  170. At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
  171. and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
  172. may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
  173. CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
  174. Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
  175. CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
  176. - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
  177. - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
  178. - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
  179. and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
  180. limitations of each of these functions are described below.
  181. lowlevel_init():
  182. - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
  183. - no global_data or BSS
  184. - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
  185. - must not set up SDRAM or use console
  186. - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
  187. board_init_f()
  188. - this is almost never needed
  189. - return normally from this function
  190. board_init_f():
  191. - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
  192. i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
  193. - global_data is available
  194. - stack is in SRAM
  195. - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
  196. only stack variables and global_data
  197. Non-SPL-specific notes:
  198. - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
  199. can do nothing
  200. SPL-specific notes:
  201. - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
  202. version as needed.
  203. - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
  204. - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
  205. - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
  206. - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
  207. directly)
  208. Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
  209. this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
  210. CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
  211. memory.
  212. board_init_r():
  213. - purpose: main execution, common code
  214. - global_data is available
  215. - SDRAM is available
  216. - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
  217. - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
  218. Non-SPL-specific notes:
  219. - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
  220. there.
  221. SPL-specific notes:
  222. - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
  223. CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
  224. - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
  225. done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
  226. spl_board_init() function containing this call
  227. - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
  228. Configuration Options:
  229. ----------------------
  230. Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
  231. such information is kept in a configuration file
  232. "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
  233. Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
  234. "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
  235. Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
  236. kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
  237. build a config tool - later.
  238. - ARM Platform Bus Type(CCI):
  239. CoreLink Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI) is ARM BUS which
  240. provides full cache coherency between two clusters of multi-core

  266. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
  267. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
  268. Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
  269. for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
  270. The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
  271. of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
  272. p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
  273. whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.

  292. This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
  293. connected to the DSP core.
  294. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
  295. This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
  296. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
  297. Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
  298. In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
  299. clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
  300. CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
  301. This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
  302. time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
  303. CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
  304. Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
  305. supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
  306. - Generic CPU options:
  307. CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
  308. Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
  309. values is arch specific.

  388. Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
  389. pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
  390. relocation.

  403. CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
  404. Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
  405. See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
  406. CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
  407. Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
  408. XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
  409. be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
  410. - ARM options:
  411. CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
  412. Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
  413. clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
  414. COUNTER_FREQUENCY
  415. Generic timer clock source frequency.
  416. COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
  417. Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
  418. different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
  419. at run time.
  420. - Tegra SoC options:
  421. CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
  422. Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
  423. impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
  424. such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
  425. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  426. CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
  427. U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
  428. internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
  429. kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
  430. bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
  431. "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
  432. converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
  433. Linux kernel.
  434. When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
  435. "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
  436. default environment.
  437. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  438. When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
  439. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  440. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  441. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  442. New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
  443. passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
  444. concepts).
  445. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  446. * New libfdt-based support
  447. * Adds the "fdt" command
  448. * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
  449. OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
  450. OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
  451. boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
  452. addresses
  453. CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
  454. Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
  455. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
  456. CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
  457. Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
  458. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
  459. This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
  460. the kernel.
  461. CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
  462. U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
  463. If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
  464. removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
  465. so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
  466. crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
  467. no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
  468. CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
  469. This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
  470. machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
  471. number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
  472. (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
  473. Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
  474. in a single configuration file and the machine type is
  475. runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
  476. - vxWorks boot parameters:
  477. bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
  478. environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
  479. serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
  480. It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
  481. Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
  482. the defaults discussed just above.
  483. - Cache Configuration:
  484. CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
  485. CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
  486. CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
  487. - Cache Configuration for ARM:
  488. CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
  489. controller
  490. CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
  491. controller register space
  492. - Serial Ports:
  493. CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
  494. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  495. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
  496. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  497. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  498. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  499. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  500. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  501. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  502. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  503. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  504. CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
  505. Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
  506. Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
  507. - Console Baudrate:
  508. CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
  509. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  510. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  511. - Autoboot Command:
  512. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  513. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  514. define a command string that is automatically executed
  515. when no character is read on the console interface
  516. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  517. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  518. The value of these goes into the environment as
  519. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  520. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  521. RAM and NFS.
  522. - Pre-Boot Commands:
  523. CONFIG_PREBOOT
  524. When this option is #defined, the existence of the
  525. environment variable "preboot" will be checked
  526. immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  527. countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
  528. entering interactive mode.
  529. This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
  530. automatically generated or modified. For an example
  531. see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
  532. modified when the user holds down a certain
  533. combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
  534. booting the systems
  535. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  536. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  537. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  538. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  539. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  540. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  541. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  542. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  543. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  544. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  545. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  546. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  547. - Removal of commands
  548. If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
  549. CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
  550. will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
  551. boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
  552. instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
  553. simple boot procedures.
  554. - Regular expression support:
  555. CONFIG_REGEX
  556. If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
  557. the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
  558. which adds regex support to some commands, as for
  559. example "env grep" and "setexpr".
  560. - Device tree:
  561. CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
  562. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
  563. to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
  564. compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
  565. experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
  566. tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
  567. U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
  568. be done using one of the three options below:
  569. CONFIG_OF_EMBED
  570. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
  571. binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
  572. board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
  573. is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
  574. the global data structure as gd->fdt_blob.
  575. CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
  576. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
  577. binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
  578. code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
  579. cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
  580. and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
  581. u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
  582. still use the individual files if you need something more
  583. exotic.
  584. CONFIG_OF_BOARD
  585. If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
  586. provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
  587. the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
  588. this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
  589. - Watchdog:
  590. CONFIG_WATCHDOG
  591. If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
  592. support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
  593. specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
  594. CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
  595. register. When supported for a specific SoC is
  596. available, then no further board specific code should
  597. be needed to use it.
  598. CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
  599. When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
  600. SoC, then define this variable and provide board
  601. specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
  602. CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
  603. specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
  604. - Real-Time Clock:
  605. When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
  606. has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
  607. following options:
  608. CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
  609. CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
  610. CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
  611. CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
  612. CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
  613. CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
  614. CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
  615. CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
  616. CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
  617. CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
  618. CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
  619. CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
  620. RV3029 RTC.
  621. Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  622. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  623. - GPIO Support:
  624. CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
  625. The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
  626. chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
  627. pins supported by a particular chip.
  628. Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  629. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  630. - I/O tracing:
  631. When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
  632. accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
  633. to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
  634. useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
  635. the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
  636. change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
  637. add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
  638. to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
  639. Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
  640. Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
  641. still continue to operate.
  642. iotrace is enabled
  643. Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
  644. Size: 00010000 (buffer size)

  671. which has to be defined in a board specific file
  672. - ATAPI Support:
  673. CONFIG_ATAPI
  674. Set this to enable ATAPI support.
  675. - LBA48 Support
  676. CONFIG_LBA48

  747. If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
  748. wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
  749. useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
  750. control registers. This behavior won't affect the
  751. correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

  793. Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
  794. Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
  795. - USB Support:
  796. At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
  797. supported (PIP405, MIP405); define
  798. CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
  799. define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
  800. and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
  801. storage devices.
  802. Note:
  803. Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives

  811. Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
  812. command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
  813. attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
  814. it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
  815. can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
  816. appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
  817. Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
  818. If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
  819. a Linux host by
  820. # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
  821. else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
  822. variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
  823. might be defined in YourBoardName.h
  824. CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
  825. Define this to build a UDC device
  826. CONFIG_USB_TTY
  827. Define this to have a tty type of device available to
  828. talk to the UDC device
  829. CONFIG_USBD_HS
  830. Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
  831. device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
  832. int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
  833. also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
  834. whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
  835. speed.
  836. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  837. Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
  838. be set to usbtty.
  839. If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
  840. define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
  841. or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
  842. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
  843. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
  844. should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
  845. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
  846. Define this string as the name of your company for
  847. - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
  848. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
  849. Define this string as the name of your product
  850. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
  851. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
  852. Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
  853. Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
  854. to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
  855. - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
  856. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
  857. Define this as the unique Product ID
  858. for your device
  859. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
  860. - ULPI Layer Support:
  861. The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
  862. the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
  863. via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
  864. the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
  865. viewport is supported.
  866. To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
  867. CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
  868. If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
  869. standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
  870. the appropriate value in Hz.
  871. - MMC Support:
  872. The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
  873. enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
  874. accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
  875. to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
  876. enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
  877. the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
  878. CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
  879. Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
  880. CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
  881. Define the base address of MMCIF registers
  882. CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
  883. Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
  884. CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
  885. Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
  886. - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
  887. CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB
  888. This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
  889. CONFIG_DFU_MMC
  890. This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
  891. CONFIG_DFU_NAND
  892. This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
  893. CONFIG_DFU_RAM
  894. This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
  895. Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
  896. allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
  897. one that would help mostly the developer.
  898. CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
  899. Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
  900. raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
  901. configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
  902. through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
  903. CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
  904. When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
  905. we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
  906. the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
  907. this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
  908. Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
  909. DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
  910. Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
  911. host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
  912. a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
  913. DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
  914. Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
  915. entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
  916. sending again an USB request to the device.
  917. - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
  918. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
  919. Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
  920. CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
  921. CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
  922. Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
  923. - Keyboard Support:
  924. See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
  925. CONFIG_KEYBOARD
  926. Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
  927. This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
  928. defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
  929. and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
  930. instead.
  931. - Video support:
  932. CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
  933. Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
  934. SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
  935. support, and should also define these other macros:
  936. CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
  937. CONFIG_VIDEO
  938. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  939. CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
  940. CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
  941. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  942. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
  943. The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
  944. variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
  945. boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
  946. description of this variable.
  947. - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
  948. Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
  949. display); also select one of the supported displays
  950. by defining one of these:
  951. CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
  952. HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
  953. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
  954. NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
  955. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
  956. NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
  957. Active, color, single scan.
  958. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
  959. NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
  960. Active, color, single scan.
  961. CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
  962. Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
  963. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  964. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  965. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  966. Active, color, single scan.
  967. CONFIG_HLD1045
  968. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  969. Active, color, single scan.
  970. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  971. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  972. or
  973. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  974. or
  975. Hitachi SP14Q002
  976. 320x240. Black & white.
  977. CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
  978. Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
  979. defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
  980. For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
  981. here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
  982. a per-section basis.
  983. CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
  984. Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
  985. mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
  986. we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
  987. framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
  988. printed out.
  989. Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
  990. initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
  991. "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
  992. The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
  993. fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
  994. 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
  995. 1 = 90 degree rotation
  996. 2 = 180 degree rotation
  997. 3 = 270 degree rotation
  998. If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
  999. initialized with 0degree rotation.
  1000. CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
  1001. Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
  1002. CONFIG_I2C_EDID
  1003. Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
  1004. information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
  1005. - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
  1006. If this option is set, the environment is checked for
  1007. a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
  1008. of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
  1009. is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
  1010. specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
  1011. console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
  1012. allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
  1013. loaded very quickly after power-on.
  1014. CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
  1015. If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
  1016. variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
  1017. (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
  1018. This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
  1019. restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
  1020. abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
  1021. accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
  1022. there is no need to set this option.
  1023. CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
  1024. If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
  1025. on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
  1026. position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
  1027. number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
  1028. is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
  1029. specify 'm' for centering the image.
  1030. Example:
  1031. setenv splashpos m,m
  1032. => image at center of screen
  1033. setenv splashpos 30,20
  1034. => image at x = 30 and y = 20
  1035. setenv splashpos -10,m
  1036. => vertically centered image
  1037. at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
  1038. - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
  1039. If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
  1040. images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
  1041. splashscreen support or the bmp command.
  1042. - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
  1043. If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
  1044. can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
  1045. bmp command.
  1046. - Compression support:
  1047. CONFIG_GZIP
  1048. Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
  1049. CONFIG_BZIP2
  1050. If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  1051. images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  1052. compressed images are supported.
  1053. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  1054. the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
  1055. be at least 4MB.
  1056. - MII/PHY support:
  1057. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  1058. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  1059. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  1060. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  1061. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  1062. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  1063. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  1064. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  1065. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  1066. command issued before MII status register can be read
  1067. - IP address:
  1068. CONFIG_IPADDR
  1069. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  1070. the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
  1071. determined through e.g. bootp.
  1072. (Environment variable "ipaddr")
  1073. - Server IP address:
  1074. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  1075. Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
  1076. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  1077. (Environment variable "serverip")
  1078. CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
  1079. Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
  1080. for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
  1081. - Gateway IP address:
  1082. CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
  1083. Defines a default value for the IP address of the
  1084. default router where packets to other networks are
  1085. sent to.
  1086. (Environment variable "gatewayip")
  1087. - Subnet mask:
  1088. CONFIG_NETMASK
  1089. Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
  1090. routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
  1091. address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
  1092. forwarded through a router.
  1093. (Environment variable "netmask")
  1094. - Multicast TFTP Mode:
  1095. CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
  1096. Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
  1097. rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
  1098. tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
  1099. driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
  1100. multicast group.
  1101. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  1102. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  1103. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  1104. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  1105. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  1106. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  1107. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  1108. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  1109. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  1110. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  1111. following delays are inserted then:
  1112. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  1113. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  1114. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  1115. 4th and following
  1116. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  1117. CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
  1118. BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
  1119. server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
  1120. U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
  1121. an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
  1122. aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
  1123. ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
  1124. respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
  1125. takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
  1126. time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
  1127. to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
  1128. retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
  1129. IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
  1130. cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
  1131. requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
  1132. from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
  1133. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  1134. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
  1135. CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
  1136. CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
  1137. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
  1138. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
  1139. CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
  1140. CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
  1141. CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
  1142. CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
  1143. CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
  1144. environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
  1145. CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
  1146. after the configured retry count, the call will fail
  1147. instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
  1148. to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
  1149. is not available.
  1150. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
  1151. to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
  1152. need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
  1153. If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
  1154. of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
  1155. option 12 to the DHCP server.
  1156. CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
  1157. A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
  1158. receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
  1159. This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
  1160. respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
  1161. AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
  1162. to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
  1163. DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
  1164. least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
  1165. that one of the retries will be successful but note that
  1166. the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
  1167. this delay.
  1168. - Link-local IP address negotiation:
  1169. Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
  1170. for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
  1171. This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
  1172. to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
  1173. See doc/README.link-local for more information.
  1174. - MAC address from environment variables
  1175. FDT_SEQ_MACADDR_FROM_ENV
  1176. Fix-up device tree with MAC addresses fetched sequentially from
  1177. environment variables. This config work on assumption that
  1178. non-usable ethernet node of device-tree are either not present
  1179. or their status has been marked as "disabled".
  1180. - CDP Options:
  1181. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  1182. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  1183. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  1184. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  1185. of the device.
  1186. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  1187. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  1188. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  1189. eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  1190. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  1191. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  1192. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  1193. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  1194. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  1195. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  1196. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  1197. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  1198. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  1199. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  1200. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  1201. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  1202. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  1203. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  1204. - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
  1205. Several configurations allow to display the current
  1206. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  1207. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  1208. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  1209. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  1210. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  1211. kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
  1212. feature in U-Boot.
  1213. Additional options:
  1214. CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
  1215. The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
  1216. In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
  1217. status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
  1218. to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
  1219. CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
  1220. Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
  1221. case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
  1222. GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
  1223. In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
  1224. with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
  1225. - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
  1226. This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
  1227. i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
  1228. CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
  1229. based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
  1230. common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
  1231. interface.

  1365. a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
  1366. CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
  1367. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
  1368. {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \

  1387. If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
  1388. - Legacy I2C Support:
  1389. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
  1390. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  1391. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  1392. I2C_INIT
  1393. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  1394. controller or configure ports.
  1395. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  1396. I2C_ACTIVE
  1397. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  1398. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  1399. define can be null.
  1400. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  1401. I2C_TRISTATE
  1402. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  1403. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  1404. define can be null.
  1405. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  1406. I2C_READ
  1407. Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
  1408. false if it is low.
  1409. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  1410. I2C_SDA(bit)
  1411. If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  1412. is false, it clears it (low).
  1413. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  1414. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  1415. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  1416. I2C_SCL(bit)
  1417. If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  1418. is false, it clears it (low).
  1419. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  1420. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  1421. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  1422. I2C_DELAY
  1423. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  1424. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  1425. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  1426. like:
  1427. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  1428. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
  1429. If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
  1430. then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
  1431. used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
  1432. have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
  1433. You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
  1434. the generic GPIO functions.
  1435. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  1436. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  1437. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  1438. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  1439. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  1440. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  1441. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  1442. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  1443. is run early in the boot sequence.
  1444. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1445. This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
  1446. must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
  1447. active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
  1448. Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
  1449. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
  1450. This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
  1451. when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1452. is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
  1453. a 1D array of device addresses
  1454. e.g.
  1455. #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1456. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
  1457. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
  1458. #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1459. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
  1460. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
  1461. CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  1462. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
  1463. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
  1464. CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
  1465. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
  1466. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
  1467. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
  1468. defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
  1469. the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
  1470. between writing the address pointer and reading the
  1471. data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
  1472. of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
  1473. devices can use either method, but some require one or
  1474. the other.
  1475. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  1476. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  1477. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  1478. D/As on the SACSng board)
  1479. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  1480. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  1481. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  1482. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  1483. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  1484. defined, the board configuration must define several
  1485. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  1486. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  1487. CONFIG_HARD_SPI
  1488. Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
  1489. and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
  1490. must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
  1491. Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
  1492. example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
  1493. CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
  1494. Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
  1495. default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
  1496. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
  1497. Enables FPGA subsystem.
  1498. CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
  1499. Enables support for specific chip vendors.
  1500. (ALTERA, XILINX)
  1501. CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
  1502. Enables support for FPGA family.
  1503. (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
  1504. CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  1505. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  1506. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  1507. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  1508. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  1509. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  1510. status by the configuration function. This option
  1511. will require a board or device specific function to
  1512. be written.
  1513. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  1514. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  1515. configuration driver.
  1516. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  1517. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  1518. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  1519. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  1520. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  1521. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  1522. indicated a CRC error).
  1523. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  1524. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
  1525. after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
  1526. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  1527. ms.
  1528. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  1529. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
  1530. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
  1531. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  1532. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  1533. 200 ms.
  1534. - Configuration Management:
  1535. CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
  1536. Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
  1537. with a special header) as build targets. By defining
  1538. CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
  1539. special image will be automatically built upon calling
  1540. make / buildman.
  1541. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  1542. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  1543. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1544. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1545. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1546. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1547. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1548. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1549. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1550. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1551. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1552. change this behaviour:
  1553. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1554. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1555. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1556. these parameters.
  1557. Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
  1558. default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1559. Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1560. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1561. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1562. read-only.]
  1563. The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
  1564. for any variable by configuring the type of access
  1565. to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
  1566. or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
  1567. - Protected RAM:
  1568. CONFIG_PRAM
  1569. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1570. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1571. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1572. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1573. this default value by defining an environment
  1574. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1575. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1576. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1577. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1578. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1579. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1580. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1581. setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
  1582. saveenv
  1583. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1584. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1585. not be affected by reboots.
  1586. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1587. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1588. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1589. following board configurations are known to be
  1590. "pRAM-clean":
  1591. IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx,
  1592. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
  1593. FLAGADM
  1594. - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
  1595. Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
  1596. normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
  1597. support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
  1598. machines using physical address extension or similar.
  1599. Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
  1600. currently only supports clearing the memory.
  1601. - Error Recovery:
  1602. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1603. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1604. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1605. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1606. default value of 5 is used.
  1607. CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
  1608. Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
  1609. CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
  1610. Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
  1611. If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
  1612. try longer timeout such as
  1613. #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
  1614. - Command Interpreter:
  1615. CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1616. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1617. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1618. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1619. Note:
  1620. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1621. space and global environment variables space are
  1622. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1623. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1624. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1625. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1626. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1627. Global environment variables are those you use
  1628. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1629. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1630. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1631. To store commands and special characters in a
  1632. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1633. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1634. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1635. symbols.
  1636. - Command Line Editing and History:
  1637. CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
  1638. Enable support for changing the command prompt string
  1639. at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
  1640. The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
  1641. and PS2.
  1642. - Default Environment:
  1643. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1644. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1645. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1646. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1647. For example, place something like this in your
  1648. board's config file:
  1649. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1650. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1651. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1652. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1653. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1654. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1655. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1656. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1657. You better know what you are doing here.
  1658. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1659. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1660. the environment like the "source" command or the
  1661. boot command first.
  1662. CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
  1663. Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
  1664. initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
  1665. that so that the environment is not available until
  1666. explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
  1667. this is instead controlled by the value of
  1668. /config/load-environment.
  1669. - Serial Flash support
  1670. Usage requires an initial 'sf probe' to define the serial
  1671. flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
  1672. commands.
  1673. The following defaults may be provided by the platform
  1674. to handle the common case when only a single serial
  1675. flash is present on the system.
  1676. CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
  1677. CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
  1678. CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
  1679. CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
  1680. - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
  1681. CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
  1682. If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
  1683. is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
  1684. If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
  1685. number generator is used.
  1686. Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
  1687. the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
  1688. defined, the normal port 69 is used.
  1689. The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
  1690. blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
  1691. target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
  1692. "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
  1693. the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
  1694. A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
  1695. but sometimes that is not allowed.
  1696. - Show boot progress:
  1697. CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
  1698. Defining this option allows to add some board-
  1699. specific code (calling a user-provided function
  1700. "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
  1701. the system's boot progress on some display (for
  1702. example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
  1703. the following checkpoints are implemented:
  1704. Legacy uImage format:
  1705. Arg Where When
  1706. 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image

  1842. - Standalone program support:
  1843. CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
  1844. This option defines a board specific value for the
  1845. address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
  1846. overwriting the architecture dependent default
  1847. settings.
  1848. - Frame Buffer Address:
  1849. CONFIG_FB_ADDR
  1850. Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
  1851. address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
  1852. when using a graphics controller has separate video
  1853. memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
  1854. the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
  1855. in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
  1856. the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
  1857. configured panel size.
  1858. Please see board_init_f function.
  1859. - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
  1860. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
  1861. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
  1862. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
  1863. These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
  1864. for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
  1865. - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
  1866. CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
  1867. Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
  1868. Needed for mtdparts command support.
  1869. CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
  1870. Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
  1871. kernel. Needed for UBI support.
  1872. - UBI support
  1873. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
  1874. This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
  1875. erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
  1876. of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
  1877. wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
  1878. counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
  1879. The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
  1880. other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
  1881. However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
  1882. life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
  1883. to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
  1884. default: 4096
  1885. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
  1886. This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
  1887. expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
  1888. underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
  1889. flash), this value is ignored.
  1890. NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
  1891. (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
  1892. The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
  1893. then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
  1894. which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
  1895. count of eraseblocks on the chip).
  1896. To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
  1897. reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
  1898. handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
  1899. NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
  1900. that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
  1901. eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
  1902. size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
  1903. partition.
  1904. default: 20
  1905. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
  1906. Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
  1907. in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
  1908. only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
  1909. The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
  1910. the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
  1911. attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
  1912. a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
  1913. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
  1914. that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
  1915. without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
  1916. fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
  1917. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
  1918. Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
  1919. without a fastmap.
  1920. default: 0
  1921. CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
  1922. Enable UBI fastmap debug
  1923. default: 0
  1924. - SPL framework
  1925. CONFIG_SPL
  1926. Enable building of SPL globally.
  1927. CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
  1928. LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
  1929. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
  1930. Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
  1931. When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
  1932. used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
  1933. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
  1934. must not be both defined at the same time.
  1935. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
  1936. Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
  1937. linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
  1938. When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
  1939. not exceed it.
  1940. CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
  1941. TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
  1942. CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
  1943. Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
  1944. CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
  1945. CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
  1946. Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
  1947. CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
  1948. Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
  1949. When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
  1950. by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
  1951. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
  1952. must not be both defined at the same time.
  1953. CONFIG_SPL_STACK
  1954. Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
  1955. CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
  1956. When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
  1957. loaded does not have a signature.
  1958. Defining this is useful when code which loads images
  1959. in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
  1960. will be caught.
  1961. An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
  1962. consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
  1963. and thus should be skipped silently.
  1964. CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
  1965. Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
  1966. relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
  1967. CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
  1968. CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
  1969. Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
  1970. When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
  1971. it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
  1972. can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
  1973. CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
  1974. The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
  1975. CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
  1976. Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
  1977. See also: doc/README.falcon
  1978. CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
  1979. For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
  1980. about the running system.
  1981. CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
  1982. Arch init code should be built for a very small image
  1983. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
  1984. Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
  1985. used in raw mode
  1986. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
  1987. Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
  1988. used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
  1989. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
  1990. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
  1991. Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
  1992. parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
  1993. (for falcon mode)
  1994. CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
  1995. Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
  1996. used in fs mode
  1997. CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
  1998. Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
  1999. CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
  2000. Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
  2001. from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
  2002. CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
  2003. Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
  2004. when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
  2005. CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
  2006. Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
  2007. start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
  2008. continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
  2009. loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
  2010. CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
  2011. Avoid SPL relocation
  2012. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
  2013. Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
  2014. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
  2015. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
  2016. SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
  2017. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_IDENT
  2018. SPL uses the chip ID list to identify the NAND flash.
  2019. Requires CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE.
  2020. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
  2021. Include standard software ECC in the SPL
  2022. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
  2023. Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
  2024. expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
  2025. CONFIG_SPL_UBI
  2026. Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
  2027. loader
  2028. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
  2029. Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
  2030. if you need to save space.
  2031. CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
  2032. Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
  2033. SPL binary.
  2034. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
  2035. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
  2036. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
  2037. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
  2038. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
  2039. Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
  2040. to read U-Boot
  2041. CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
  2042. Add support NAND boot
  2043. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
  2044. Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
  2045. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
  2046. Location in memory to load U-Boot to
  2047. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
  2048. Size of image to load
  2049. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
  2050. Entry point in loaded image to jump to
  2051. CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
  2052. Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
  2053. data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
  2054. CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
  2055. Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
  2056. CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
  2057. Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
  2058. the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
  2059. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
  2060. CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
  2061. payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
  2062. CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
  2063. Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
  2064. use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
  2065. example if more than one image needs to be produced.
  2066. CONFIG_SPL_FIT_PRINT
  2067. Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
  2068. code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
  2069. option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
  2070. bootm command when booting a FIT image.
  2071. - TPL framework
  2072. CONFIG_TPL
  2073. Enable building of TPL globally.
  2074. CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
  2075. Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
  2076. the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
  2077. CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
  2078. CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
  2079. payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
  2080. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  2081. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  2082. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  2083. for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  2084. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  2085. CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  2086. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  2087. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
  2088. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  2089. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  2090. general timer_interrupt().
  2091. Board initialization settings:
  2092. ------------------------------
  2093. During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
  2094. to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
  2095. before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
  2096. following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
  2097. architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
  2098. typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
  2099. - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
  2100. - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
  2101. - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
  2102. - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
  2103. Configuration Settings:
  2104. -----------------------
  2105. - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
  2106. Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
  2107. - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  2108. undefine this when you're short of memory.
  2109. - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
  2110. width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
  2111. - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
  2112. prompt for user input.
  2113. - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  2114. - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  2115. - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
  2116. - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
  2117. the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
  2118. booted
  2119. - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
  2120. List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
  2121. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
  2122. Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
  2123. simple memory test.
  2124. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
  2125. Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
  2126. You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
  2127. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
  2128. Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
  2129. If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
  2130. is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
  2131. This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
  2132. gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
  2133. the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
  2134. this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
  2135. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
  2136. If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
  2137. this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
  2138. (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
  2139. fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
  2140. the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
  2141. This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
  2142. board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
  2143. recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
  2144. will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
  2145. This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
  2146. CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
  2147. be touched.
  2148. WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
  2149. the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
  2150. then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
  2151. non page size aligned address and this could cause major
  2152. problems.
  2153. - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  2154. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  2155. - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
  2156. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  2157. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
  2158. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  2159. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
  2160. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  2161. make config files to be same as the text base address
  2162. (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  2163. CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  2164. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
  2165. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  2166. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  2167. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  2168. flash sector.
  2169. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
  2170. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  2171. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
  2172. Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
  2173. this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
  2174. will become available before relocation. The address is just
  2175. below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
  2176. space.
  2177. This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
  2178. within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
  2179. is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
  2180. The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
  2181. U-Boot relocates itself.
  2182. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
  2183. Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
  2184. boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
  2185. enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
  2186. - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
  2187. Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
  2188. typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
  2189. uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
  2190. otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
  2191. some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
  2192. cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
  2193. are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
  2194. cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
  2195. if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
  2196. size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
  2197. one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
  2198. written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
  2199. happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
  2200. buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
  2201. 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
  2202. Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
  2203. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
  2204. Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
  2205. uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
  2206. you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
  2207. to adjust this setting to your needs.
  2208. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
  2209. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  2210. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  2211. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
  2212. used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
  2213. environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
  2214. all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
  2215. and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
  2216. variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
  2217. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
  2218. then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
  2219. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
  2220. Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
  2221. initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
  2222. is enabled.
  2223. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
  2224. Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
  2225. "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
  2226. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
  2227. Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
  2228. space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
  2229. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  2230. Max number of Flash memory banks
  2231. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
  2232. Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
  2233. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
  2234. Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
  2235. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
  2236. Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
  2237. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
  2238. Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
  2239. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
  2240. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  2241. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
  2242. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  2243. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  2244. - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  2245. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  2246. without this option such a download has to be
  2247. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  2248. copy from RAM to flash.
  2249. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  2250. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  2251. the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
  2252. too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
  2253. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  2254. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
  2255. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  2256. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  2257. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  2258. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  2259. in the drivers directory
  2260. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
  2261. This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
  2262. in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
  2263. to the MTD layer.
  2264. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
  2265. Use buffered writes to flash.
  2266. - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
  2267. s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
  2268. write commands.
  2269. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
  2270. If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
  2271. print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
  2272. is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
  2273. optionally available.
  2274. - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
  2275. If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
  2276. digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
  2277. column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
  2278. - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
  2279. If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
  2280. against the source after the write operation. An error message
  2281. will be printed when the contents are not identical.
  2282. Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
  2283. since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
  2284. while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
  2285. this option if you really know what you are doing.
  2286. - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  2287. Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
  2288. Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  2289. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  2290. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  2291. on high Ethernet traffic.
  2292. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  2293. - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
  2294. Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
  2295. internally to store the environment settings. The default
  2296. setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
  2297. cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
  2298. lib/hashtable.c for details.
  2299. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
  2300. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
  2301. Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
  2302. calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
  2303. hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
  2304. the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
  2305. The format of the list is:
  2306. type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
  2307. access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
  2308. attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
  2309. entry = variable_name[:attributes]
  2310. list = entry[,list]
  2311. The type attributes are:
  2312. s - String (default)
  2313. d - Decimal
  2314. x - Hexadecimal
  2315. b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
  2316. i - IP address
  2317. m - MAC address
  2318. The access attributes are:
  2319. a - Any (default)
  2320. r - Read-only
  2321. o - Write-once
  2322. c - Change-default
  2323. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
  2324. Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
  2325. environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
  2326. - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
  2327. Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
  2328. should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
  2329. environment variable. To override a setting in the static
  2330. list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
  2331. ".flags" variable.
  2332. If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
  2333. regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
  2334. flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
  2335. - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
  2336. If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
  2337. access flags.
  2338. - CONFIG_USE_STDINT
  2339. If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
  2340. option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
  2341. building U-Boot to enable this.
  2342. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  2343. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  2344. following configurations:
  2345. - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
  2346. Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
  2347. may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
  2348. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  2349. in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  2350. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
  2351. U-Boot will hang.
  2352. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  2353. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  2354. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  2355. to save the current settings.
  2356. BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
  2357. "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
  2358. environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
  2359. but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
  2360. - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
  2361. Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
  2362. environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
  2363. CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
  2364. Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
  2365. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  2366. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f()
  2367. until then to read environment variables.
  2368. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  2369. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  2370. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  2371. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  2372. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  2373. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  2374. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  2375. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  2376. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  2377. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  2378. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  2379. Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  2380. also needs to be defined.
  2381. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  2382. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  2383. - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
  2384. Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
  2385. and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
  2386. drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
  2387. space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
  2388. limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
  2389. - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
  2390. Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
  2391. when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
  2392. to do this.
  2393. - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
  2394. Similar to the previous option, but display this information
  2395. later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
  2396. present.
  2397. - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
  2398. Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
  2399. build system checks that the actual size does not
  2400. exceed it.
  2401. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  2402. ---------------------------------------------------
  2403. - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  2404. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  2405. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
  2406. Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
  2407. PowerPC SOCs.
  2408. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
  2409. Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
  2410. the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
  2411. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
  2412. Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
  2413. physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
  2414. be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
  2415. same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
  2416. is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
  2417. that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
  2418. #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
  2419. * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
  2420. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
  2421. Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
  2422. either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
  2423. used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
  2424. integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
  2425. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
  2426. Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
  2427. used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
  2428. integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
  2429. - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
  2430. If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
  2431. forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
  2432. - Floppy Disk Support:
  2433. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
  2434. the default drive number (default value 0)
  2435. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
  2436. defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
  2437. (default value 1)
  2438. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
  2439. defines the offset of register from address. It
  2440. depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
  2441. the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
  2442. If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
  2443. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
  2444. default value.
  2445. if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
  2446. fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
  2447. setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
  2448. source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
  2449. initializations.
  2450. - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
  2451. Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
  2452. interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
  2453. When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
  2454. IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
  2455. registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
  2456. is required.
  2457. - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
  2458. DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
  2459. doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx systems only]
  2460. - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  2461. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  2462. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  2463. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  2464. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  2465. will become available only after programming the
  2466. memory controller and running certain initialization
  2467. sequences.
  2468. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  2469. - MPC8xx: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  2470. - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  2471. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  2472. area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  2473. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  2474. data is located at the end of the available space
  2475. (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
  2476. GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  2477. below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  2478. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  2479. Note:
  2480. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  2481. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  2482. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  2483. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  2484. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
  2485. - CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27)
  2486. - CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM:
  2487. SDRAM timing
  2488. - CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA:
  2489. periodic timer for refresh
  2490. - FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM,
  2491. CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP,
  2492. CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM,
  2493. CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM:
  2494. Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH)
  2495. - SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE,
  2496. CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM,
  2497. CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
  2498. Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
  2499. - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
  2500. Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
  2501. Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
  2502. something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
  2503. a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
  2504. by coreboot or similar.
  2505. - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
  2506. Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
  2507. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
  2508. Chip has SRIO or not
  2509. - CONFIG_SRIO1:
  2510. Board has SRIO 1 port available
  2511. - CONFIG_SRIO2:
  2512. Board has SRIO 2 port available
  2513. - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
  2514. Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
  2515. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
  2516. Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
  2517. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
  2518. Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
  2519. - CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
  2520. Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
  2521. - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
  2522. Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
  2523. a 16 bit bus.
  2524. Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
  2525. Example of drivers that use it:
  2526. - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
  2527. - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
  2528. - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
  2529. Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
  2530. a default value will be used.
  2531. - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
  2532. Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
  2533. with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
  2534. SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
  2535. I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
  2536. - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  2537. If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
  2538. one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
  2539. to something your driver can deal with.
  2540. - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
  2541. Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
  2542. soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
  2543. parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
  2544. header files or board specific files.
  2545. - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
  2546. Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
  2547. - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
  2548. Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
  2549. - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
  2550. Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
  2551. - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
  2552. Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
  2553. be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
  2554. - CONFIG_RMII
  2555. Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
  2556. Note that this is a global option, we can't
  2557. have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
  2558. - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
  2559. Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
  2560. The syntax is:
  2561. => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
  2562. Where address/count indicate a memory area
  2563. and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
  2564. area should have.
  2565. - CONFIG_LOOPW
  2566. Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
  2567. the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
  2568. - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
  2569. Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
  2570. "md/mw" commands.
  2571. Examples:
  2572. => mdc.b 10 4 500
  2573. This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
  2574. => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
  2575. This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
  2576. This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
  2577. globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
  2578. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
  2579. [ARM, NDS32, MIPS, RISC-V only] If this variable is defined, then certain
  2580. low level initializations (like setting up the memory
  2581. controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
  2582. relocate itself into RAM.
  2583. Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
  2584. exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
  2585. other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
  2586. these initializations itself.
  2587. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
  2588. [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
  2589. to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
  2590. instruction cache) is still performed.
  2591. - CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
  2592. Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
  2593. that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
  2594. compiling a NAND SPL.
  2595. - CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
  2596. Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
  2597. that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
  2598. It is loaded by the SPL.
  2599. - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
  2600. Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
  2601. .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
  2602. previous 4k of the .text section.
  2603. - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
  2604. Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
  2605. effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
  2606. U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
  2607. to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
  2608. it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
  2609. addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
  2610. to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
  2611. - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
  2612. If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
  2613. needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
  2614. - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
  2615. Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
  2616. driver that uses this:
  2617. drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
  2618. Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
  2619. -----------------------------------
  2620. The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
  2621. loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
  2622. This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
  2623. are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
  2624. within that device.
  2625. - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
  2626. The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
  2627. meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
  2628. is also specified.
  2629. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
  2630. The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
  2631. meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
  2632. is also specified.
  2633. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
  2634. The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
  2635. has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
  2636. might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
  2637. local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
  2638. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
  2639. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
  2640. normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
  2641. virtual address in NOR flash.
  2642. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
  2643. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
  2644. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
  2645. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
  2646. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
  2647. device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
  2648. - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
  2649. Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
  2650. memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
  2651. can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
  2652. window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
  2653. master's memory space.
  2654. Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
  2655. ---------------------------------------------------------
  2656. The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
  2657. "firmware".
  2658. This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
  2659. are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
  2660. within that device.
  2661. - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
  2662. Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
  2663. Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
  2664. -------------------------------------------
  2665. The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
  2666. "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
  2667. This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
  2668. - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
  2669. Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
  2670. Reproducible builds
  2671. -------------------
  2672. In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
  2673. process have to be set to a fixed value.
  2674. This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
  2675. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
  2676. option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
  2677. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
  2678. Building the Software:
  2679. ======================
  2680. Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
  2681. and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
  2682. all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
  2683. (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
  2684. recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
  2685. which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
  2686. If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
  2687. have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
  2688. you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
  2689. Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
  2690. necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
  2691. $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
  2692. $ export CROSS_COMPILE
  2693. Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
  2694. the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
  2695. (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
  2696. toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
  2697. $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
  2698. Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
  2699. be executed on computers running Windows.
  2700. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  2701. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  2702. is done by typing:
  2703. make NAME_defconfig
  2704. where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
  2705. rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
  2706. Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
  2707. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  2708. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  2709. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  2710. when choosing the configuration, i. e.
  2711. make TQM823L_defconfig
  2712. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  2713. make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
  2714. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  2715. etc.
  2716. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  2717. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  2718. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  2719. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  2720. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  2721. By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
  2722. in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
  2723. this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
  2724. 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
  2725. make O=/tmp/build distclean
  2726. make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
  2727. make O=/tmp/build all
  2728. 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
  2729. export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
  2730. make distclean
  2731. make NAME_defconfig
  2732. make all
  2733. Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
  2734. variable.
  2735. User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
  2736. setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
  2737. For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
  2738. make KCFLAGS=-Werror
  2739. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  2740. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  2741. native "make".
  2742. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  2743. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  2744. steps:
  2745. 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  2746. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  2747. the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
  2748. 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  2749. your board.
  2750. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  2751. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  2752. 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
  2753. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  2754. to be installed on your target system.
  2755. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  2756. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  2757. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  2758. ==============================================================
  2759. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  2760. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  2761. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  2762. the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  2763. official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
  2764. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  2765. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  2766. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  2767. just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
  2768. configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
  2769. will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
  2770. for documentation.
  2771. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

  2820. TODO.
  2821. For now: just type "help <command>".
  2822. Environment Variables:
  2823. ======================
  2824. U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
  2825. can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
  2826. Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
  2827. "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
  2828. without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
  2829. environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
  2830. working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
  2831. environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
  2832. Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
  2833. List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
  2834. baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
  2835. bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  2836. bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  2837. bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
  2838. bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
  2839. bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2840. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2841. a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
  2842. for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
  2843. environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
  2844. also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
  2845. kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
  2846. bootm_mapsize.
  2847. bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
  2848. This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
  2849. defines the size of the memory region starting at base
  2850. address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
  2851. during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
  2852. as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
  2853. used otherwise.
  2854. bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2855. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2856. a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
  2857. allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
  2858. environment variable.
  2859. updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
  2860. by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
  2861. documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
  2862. autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
  2863. "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
  2864. configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
  2865. load any image using TFTP
  2866. autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
  2867. "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
  2868. be automatically started (by internally calling
  2869. "bootm")
  2870. If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
  2871. "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
  2872. (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
  2873. This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
  2874. data.
  2875. fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
  2876. flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
  2877. For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
  2878. at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
  2879. only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
  2880. may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
  2881. device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
  2882. of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
  2883. access it during the boot procedure.
  2884. If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
  2885. the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
  2886. to work it must reside in writable memory, have
  2887. sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
  2888. add the information it needs into it, and the memory
  2889. must be accessible by the kernel.
  2890. fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
  2891. device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
  2892. defined.
  2893. i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  2894. if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
  2895. mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
  2896. initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
  2897. it must be saved and board must be reset.
  2898. initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
  2899. If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
  2900. copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
  2901. is usually what you want since it allows for
  2902. maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
  2903. make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
  2904. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
  2905. variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
  2906. Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
  2907. address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
  2908. does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
  2909. For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
  2910. RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
  2911. you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
  2912. the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
  2913. sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
  2914. 12 MB as well - this can be done with
  2915. setenv initrd_high 00c00000
  2916. If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
  2917. indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
  2918. for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
  2919. memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
  2920. ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
  2921. boot time on your system, but requires that this
  2922. feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
  2923. ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2924. loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
  2925. "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
  2926. loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  2927. serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2928. bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  2929. bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  2930. bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  2931. ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
  2932. ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
  2933. For example you can do the following
  2934. => setenv ethact FEC
  2935. => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
  2936. => setenv ethact SCC
  2937. => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
  2938. ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
  2939. available network interfaces.
  2940. It just stays at the currently selected interface.
  2941. netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
  2942. either succeed or fail without retrying.
  2943. When set to "once" the network operation will
  2944. fail when all the available network interfaces
  2945. are tried once without success.
  2946. Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
  2947. themselves.
  2948. npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
  2949. silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
  2950. changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
  2951. made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
  2952. unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
  2953. is silent.
  2954. tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
  2955. UDP source port.
  2956. tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
  2957. destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
  2958. tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
  2959. we use the TFTP server's default block size
  2960. tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
  2961. seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
  2962. when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
  2963. be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
  2964. Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
  2965. faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
  2966. with unreliable TFTP servers.
  2967. tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
  2968. unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
  2969. can happen during a single file transfer before that
  2970. transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
  2971. 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
  2972. downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
  2973. unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
  2974. vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
  2975. Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
  2976. VLAN tagged frames.
  2977. bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
  2978. Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
  2979. be either the default (28000), or a value based on
  2980. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
  2981. precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
  2982. The following image location variables contain the location of images
  2983. used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
  2984. not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
  2985. variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
  2986. server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
  2987. loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
  2988. flash or offset in NAND flash.
  2989. *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
  2990. boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
  2991. boards use these variables for other purposes.
  2992. Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
  2993. ----- --------- ----------- --------------
  2994. u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr

  2996. device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
  2997. ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
  2998. The following environment variables may be used and automatically
  2999. updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
  3000. depending the information provided by your boot server:
  3001. bootfile - see above
  3002. dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
  3003. dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
  3004. gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
  3005. hostname - Target hostname
  3006. ipaddr - see above
  3007. netmask - Subnet Mask
  3008. rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
  3009. serverip - see above
  3010. There are two special Environment Variables:
  3011. serial# - contains hardware identification information such
  3012. as type string and/or serial number
  3013. ethaddr - Ethernet address
  3014. These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
  3015. the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
  3016. once they have been set once.
  3017. Further special Environment Variables:
  3018. ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
  3019. with the "version" command. This variable is
  3020. readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
  3021. Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
  3022. only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
  3023. Callback functions for environment variables:
  3024. ---------------------------------------------
  3025. For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
  3026. when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
  3027. be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
  3028. deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
  3029. effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
  3030. The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
  3031. U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
  3032. These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
  3033. static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
  3034. in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
  3035. associations. The list must be in the following format:
  3036. entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
  3037. list = entry[,list]
  3038. If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
  3039. Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
  3040. Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
  3041. with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
  3042. override any association in the static list. You can define
  3043. CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
  3044. ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
  3045. If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
  3046. regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
  3047. the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
  3048. Command Line Parsing:
  3049. =====================
  3050. There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
  3051. the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
  3052. Old, simple command line parser:
  3053. --------------------------------
  3054. - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
  3055. - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
  3056. - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
  3057. - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
  3058. for example:
  3059. setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
  3060. - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
  3061. setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
  3062. Hush shell:
  3063. -----------
  3064. - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
  3065. if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
  3066. until...do...done, ...
  3067. - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
  3068. commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
  3069. "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
  3070. command
  3071. General rules:
  3072. --------------
  3073. (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
  3074. command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
  3075. one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
  3076. executed anyway.
  3077. (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
  3078. calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
  3079. command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
  3080. variables are not executed.
  3081. Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
  3082. =======================================
  3083. Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
  3084. such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
  3085. "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
  3086. Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
  3087. MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
  3088. "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
  3089. If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
  3090. in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
  3091. ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
  3092. variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
  3093. o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  3094. environment, the SROM's address is used.
  3095. o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  3096. environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  3097. used.
  3098. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  3099. both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
  3100. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
  3101. addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
  3102. warning is printed.
  3103. o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
  3104. is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
  3105. a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
  3106. If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
  3107. will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
  3108. may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
  3109. The naming convention is as follows:
  3110. "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
  3111. Image Formats:
  3112. ==============
  3113. U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
  3114. images in two formats:
  3115. New uImage format (FIT)
  3116. -----------------------
  3117. Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
  3118. to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
  3119. components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
  3120. SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
  3121. Old uImage format
  3122. -----------------
  3123. Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
  3124. preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
  3125. details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
  3126. * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  3127. 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
  3128. LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
  3129. Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
  3130. INTEGRITY).
  3131. * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86,
  3132. IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
  3133. Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
  3134. * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
  3135. * Load Address
  3136. * Entry Point
  3137. * Image Name
  3138. * Image Timestamp
  3139. The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
  3140. and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
  3141. CRC32 checksums.
  3142. Linux Support:
  3143. ==============
  3144. Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
  3145. easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
  3146. U-Boot.
  3147. U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
  3148. special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
  3149. "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
  3150. instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
  3151. serves several purposes:
  3152. - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  3153. applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  3154. Flash memory footprint)
  3155. - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  3156. lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
  3157. - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  3158. images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  3159. be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  3160. have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  3161. change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  3162. software is easier now.
  3163. Linux HOWTO:
  3164. ============
  3165. Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
  3166. ---------------------------------------
  3167. U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
  3168. configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
  3169. (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
  3170. Linux :-).
  3171. But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
  3172. Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
  3173. include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
  3174. Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
  3175. and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
  3176. as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
  3177. Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
  3178. If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
  3179. is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
  3180. doc/driver-model.
  3181. Configuring the Linux kernel:
  3182. -----------------------------
  3183. No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
  3184. device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
  3185. Building a Linux Image:
  3186. -----------------------
  3187. With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
  3188. not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
  3189. "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
  3190. U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
  3191. which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
  3192. 100% compatible format.
  3193. Example:
  3194. make TQM850L_defconfig
  3195. make oldconfig
  3196. make dep
  3197. make uImage
  3198. The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
  3199. encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
  3200. CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
  3201. * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
  3202. * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
  3203. ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
  3204. -R .note -R .comment \
  3205. -S vmlinux linux.bin
  3206. * compress the binary image:
  3207. gzip -9 linux.bin
  3208. * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
  3209. mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
  3210. -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
  3211. -d linux.bin.gz uImage
  3212. The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
  3213. with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
  3214. combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
  3215. byte header containing information about target architecture,
  3216. operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
  3217. stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
  3218. "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
  3219. print the header information, or to build new images.
  3220. In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
  3221. contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
  3222. checksum verification:
  3223. tools/mkimage -l image
  3224. -l ==> list image header information
  3225. The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
  3226. from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
  3227. tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
  3228. -n name -d data_file image
  3229. -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  3230. -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  3231. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  3232. -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  3233. -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  3234. -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  3235. -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  3236. -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  3237. Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
  3238. address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
  3239. kernel version:
  3240. - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
  3241. - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
  3242. So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
  3243. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  3244. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
  3245. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
  3246. > examples/uImage.TQM850L
  3247. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  3248. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  3249. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  3250. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  3251. Load Address: 0x00000000
  3252. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  3253. To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
  3254. -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
  3255. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  3256. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  3257. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  3258. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  3259. Load Address: 0x00000000
  3260. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  3261. NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
  3262. speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
  3263. needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
  3264. need to be uncompressed:
  3265. -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
  3266. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  3267. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
  3268. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
  3269. > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
  3270. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

  3272. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)

  3274. Load Address: 0x00000000
  3275. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  3276. Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
  3277. when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
  3278. -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
  3279. > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
  3280. > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
  3281. Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
  3282. Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
  3283. Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
  3284. Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
  3285. Load Address: 0x00000000
  3286. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  3287. The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
  3288. option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
  3289. option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
  3290. from the image:
  3291. tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
  3292. -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
  3293. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  3294. -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
  3295. Installing a Linux Image:
  3296. -------------------------
  3297. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  3298. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  3299. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  3300. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  3301. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  3302. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  3303. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  3304. command.
  3305. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  3306. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  3307. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
  3308. .......... done
  3309. Erased 8 sectors
  3310. => loads 40100000
  3311. ## Ready for S-Record download ...

  3316. [file transfer complete]
  3317. [connected]
  3318. ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
  3319. You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
  3320. this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
  3321. corruption happened:
  3322. => imi 40100000
  3323. ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...

  3329. Verifying Checksum ... OK
  3330. Boot Linux:
  3331. -----------
  3332. The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
  3333. memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
  3334. of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
  3335. parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
  3336. "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
  3337. => printenv bootargs
  3338. bootargs=root=/dev/ram
  3339. => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
  3340. => printenv bootargs
  3341. bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

  3445. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  3446. ------------------------------
  3447. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  3448. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  3449. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  3450. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  3451. the Standalone Program.
  3452. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  3453. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  3454. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  3455. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  3456. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  3457. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  3458. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  3459. being started.
  3460. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  3461. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  3462. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  3463. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  3464. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  3465. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  3466. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  3467. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  3468. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  3469. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  3470. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  3471. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  3472. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  3473. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  3474. flash memory.
  3475. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  3476. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  3477. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  3478. as command interpreter.
  3479. Booting the Linux zImage:
  3480. -------------------------
  3481. On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
  3482. using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
  3483. as the syntax of "bootm" command.
  3484. Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
  3485. kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
  3486. address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
  3487. format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
  3488. Standalone HOWTO:
  3489. =================
  3490. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  3491. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  3492. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  3493. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  3494. "Hello World" Demo:
  3495. -------------------
  3496. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  3497. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  3498. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  3499. like that:
  3500. => loads
  3501. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  3502. ~>examples/hello_world.srec
  3503. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
  3504. [file transfer complete]
  3505. [connected]
  3506. ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
  3507. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  3508. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  3509. Hello World
  3510. argc = 7
  3511. argv[0] = "40004"
  3512. argv[1] = "Hello"
  3513. argv[2] = "World!"
  3514. argv[3] = "This"
  3515. argv[4] = "is"
  3516. argv[5] = "a"
  3517. argv[6] = "test."
  3518. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  3519. Hit any key to exit ...
  3520. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  3521. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  3522. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  3523. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  3524. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  3525. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  3526. controlled by the following keys:
  3527. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  3528. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  3529. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  3530. q - quit application
  3531. => loads

  3562. Minicom warning:
  3563. ================
  3564. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  3565. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  3566. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  3567. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  3568. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  3569. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
  3570. http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
  3571. for help with kermit.
  3572. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  3573. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  3574. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  3575. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  3576. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  3577. NetBSD Notes:
  3578. =============
  3579. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  3580. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  3581. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  3582. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  3583. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  3584. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  3585. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  3586. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  3587. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  3588. # mkdir powerpc
  3589. # ln -s powerpc machine
  3590. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  3591. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  3592. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  3593. and U-Boot include files.
  3594. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  3595. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  3596. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  3597. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  3598. meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
  3599. Implementation Internals:
  3600. =========================
  3601. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  3602. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  3603. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  3604. hardware.
  3605. Initial Stack, Global Data:
  3606. ---------------------------
  3607. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  3608. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  3609. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  3610. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  3611. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  3612. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  3613. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  3614. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  3615. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  3616. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  3617. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  3618. U-Boot mailing list:
  3619. Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
  3620. From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
  3621. Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
  3622. ...
  3623. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  3624. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  3625. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  3626. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  3627. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  3628. beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
  3629. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  3630. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  3631. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  3632. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  3633. initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  3634. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  3635. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  3636. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  3637. used.
  3638. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  3639. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  3640. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  3641. walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  3642. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  3643. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  3644. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  3645. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  3646. you get the config right.
  3647. -Chris Hallinan

  3649. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  3650. code for the initialization procedures:
  3651. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  3652. to write it.
  3653. * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
  3654. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  3655. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  3656. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  3657. that.
  3658. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  3659. normal global data to share information between the code. But it
  3660. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  3661. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  3662. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  3663. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  3664. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  3665. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  3666. reserve for this purpose.
  3667. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  3668. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  3669. GCC's implementation.
  3670. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  3671. R1: stack pointer
  3672. R2: reserved for system use
  3673. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  3674. R5-R10: parameter passing
  3675. R13: small data area pointer
  3676. R30: GOT pointer
  3677. R31: frame pointer
  3678. (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
  3679. is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
  3680. going back and forth between asm and C)
  3681. ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3682. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  3683. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  3684. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  3685. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  3686. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  3687. 624 text + 127 data).
  3688. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  3689. R0: function argument word/integer result
  3690. R1-R3: function argument word
  3691. R9: platform specific
  3692. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
  3693. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  3694. R12: temporary workspace
  3695. R13: stack pointer
  3696. R14: link register
  3697. R15: program counter
  3698. ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3699. Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
  3700. On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
  3701. http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
  3702. ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
  3703. Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
  3704. to access small data sections, so gp is free.
  3705. On NDS32, the following registers are used:
  3706. R0-R1: argument/return
  3707. R2-R5: argument
  3708. R15: temporary register for assembler
  3709. R16: trampoline register
  3710. R28: frame pointer (FP)
  3711. R29: global pointer (GP)
  3712. R30: link register (LP)
  3713. R31: stack pointer (SP)
  3714. PC: program counter (PC)
  3715. ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3716. NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
  3717. or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
  3718. On RISC-V, the following registers are used:
  3719. x0: hard-wired zero (zero)
  3720. x1: return address (ra)
  3721. x2: stack pointer (sp)
  3722. x3: global pointer (gp)
  3723. x4: thread pointer (tp)
  3724. x5: link register (t0)
  3725. x8: frame pointer (fp)
  3726. x10-x11: arguments/return values (a0-1)
  3727. x12-x17: arguments (a2-7)
  3728. x28-31: temporaries (t3-6)
  3729. pc: program counter (pc)
  3730. ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
  3731. Memory Management:
  3732. ------------------
  3733. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  3734. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  3735. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  3736. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  3737. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  3738. physical memory banks.
  3739. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  3740. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  3741. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  3742. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  3743. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
  3744. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  3745. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  3746. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  3747. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  3748. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  3749. this:
  3750. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
  3751. :
  3752. 0x0000 1FFF
  3753. 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
  3754. :

  3767. System Initialization:
  3768. ----------------------
  3769. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  3770. (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  3771. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
  3772. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  3773. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  3774. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  3775. which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
  3776. cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
  3777. the SIU.
  3778. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  3779. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  3780. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  3781. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  3782. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  3783. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  3784. banks.
  3785. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  3786. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  3787. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  3788. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  3789. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  3790. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  3791. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  3792. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  3793. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  3794. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  3795. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  3796. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  3797. new address in RAM.

  3856. Coding Standards:
  3857. -----------------
  3858. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  3859. coding style; see the kernel coding style guide at
  3860. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html, and the
  3861. script "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
  3862. Source files originating from a different project (for example the
  3863. MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
  3864. reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
  3865. sources.
  3866. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
  3867. Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
  3868. in your code.
  3869. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  3870. - remove any trailing white space
  3871. - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
  3872. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  3873. - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
  3874. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  3875. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  3876. with a request to reformat the changes.
  3877. Submitting Patches:
  3878. -------------------
  3879. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  3880. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  3881. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  3882. Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
  3883. Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
  3884. see https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
  3885. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  3886. it:
  3887. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  3888. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  3889. patch actually fixes something.
  3890. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  3891. implementation.
  3892. * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
  3893. * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
  3894. information and associated file and directory references.
  3895. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
  3896. maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
  3897. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  3898. document these in the README file.
  3899. * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
  3900. recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
  3901. "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
  3902. the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
  3903. with some other mail clients.
  3904. If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
  3905. diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
  3906. GNU diff.
  3907. The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
  3908. directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
  3909. your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
  3910. affected files).
  3911. We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
  3912. and compressed attachments must not be used.
  3913. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  3914. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  3915. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  3916. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  3917. Notes:
  3918. * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
  3919. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  3920. for any of the boards.
  3921. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  3922. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  3923. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  3924. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  3925. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  3926. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  3927. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  3928. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  3929. modification.
  3930. * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
  3931. u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
  3932. reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
  3933. bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
