  23. Summary:
  24. ========
  25. This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
  26. Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
  27. processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
  28. initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
  29. code.
  30. The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
  31. the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
  32. header files in common, and special provision has been made to
  33. support booting of Linux images.
  34. Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
  35. configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
  36. implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
  37. add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
  38. code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
  39. load and run it dynamically.
  40. Status:
  41. =======
  42. In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
  43. Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
  44. "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
  45. In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
  46. who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
  47. maintainers.
  48. Where to get help:
  49. ==================
  50. In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for
  51. U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at
  52. <u-boot@lists.denx.de>. There is also an archive of previous traffic
  53. on the mailing list - please search the archive before asking FAQ's.
  54. Please see http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot and
  55. http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot
  56. Where to get source code:
  57. =========================
  58. The U-Boot source code is maintained in the git repository at
  59. git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git ; you can browse it online at
  60. http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
  61. The "snapshot" links on this page allow you to download tarballs of
  62. any version you might be interested in. Official releases are also
  63. available for FTP download from the ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
  64. directory.
  65. Pre-built (and tested) images are available from
  66. ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/images/
  67. Where we come from:
  68. ===================
  69. - start from 8xxrom sources
  70. - create PPCBoot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcboot)
  71. - clean up code
  72. - make it easier to add custom boards
  73. - make it possible to add other [PowerPC] CPUs
  74. - extend functions, especially:
  75. * Provide extended interface to Linux boot loader
  76. * S-Record download
  77. * network boot
  78. * PCMCIA / CompactFlash / ATA disk / SCSI ... boot
  79. - create ARMBoot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/armboot)
  80. - add other CPU families (starting with ARM)
  81. - create U-Boot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot)
  82. - current project page: see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot
  83. Names and Spelling:
  84. ===================
  85. The "official" name of this project is "Das U-Boot". The spelling
  86. "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments
  87. in source files etc.). Example:
  88. This is the README file for the U-Boot project.
  89. File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples:
  90. include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h
  91. #include <asm/u-boot.h>
  92. Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on
  93. the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example:
  94. U_BOOT_VERSION u_boot_logo
  95. IH_OS_U_BOOT u_boot_hush_start
  96. Versioning:
  97. ===========
  98. U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
  99. sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
  100. sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
  101. The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
  102. between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
  103. U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

  164. Software Configuration:
  165. =======================
  166. Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
  167. rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
  168. There are two classes of configuration variables:
  169. * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  170. These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  171. "CONFIG_".
  172. * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  173. These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  174. you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  175. "CONFIG_SYS_".
  176. Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
  177. identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
  178. do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
  179. links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
  180. as an example here.
  181. Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
  182. ---------------------------------------------------
  183. For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
  184. configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
  185. Example: For a TQM823L module type:
  186. cd u-boot
  187. make TQM823L_config
  188. For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
  189. e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
  190. directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
  191. Configuration Options:
  192. ----------------------
  193. Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
  194. such information is kept in a configuration file
  195. "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
  196. Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
  197. "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
  198. Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
  199. kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
  200. build a config tool - later.
  201. The following options need to be configured:
  202. - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
  203. - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
  204. - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
  205. Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
  206. - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  207. Define exactly one of
  208. CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
  209. --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
  210. CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
  211. CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
  212. - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  213. Define exactly one of
  214. CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
  215. - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  216. Define one or more of
  217. CONFIG_CMA302
  218. - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
  219. Define one or more of
  220. CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
  221. the LCD display every second with
  222. a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
  223. - Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
  224. CONFIG_ADSTYPE
  225. Possible values are:
  226. CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS
  227. CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
  228. CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
  229. CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
  230. - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
  231. Define exactly one of
  232. CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
  233. - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
  234. CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
  235. get_gclk_freq() cannot work
  236. e.g. if there is no 32KHz
  237. reference PIT/RTC clock
  238. CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
  239. or XTAL/EXTAL)
  240. - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
  241. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
  242. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
  243. CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
  244. See doc/README.MPC866
  245. CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
  246. Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
  247. of relying on the correctness of the configured
  248. values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
  249. the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
  250. that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
  251. RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
  252. CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
  253. Define this option if you want to enable the
  254. ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
  255. - Intel Monahans options:
  256. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
  257. Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
  258. ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
  259. frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
  260. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
  261. Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
  262. ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
  263. 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
  264. by this value.
  265. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  266. CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
  267. U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
  268. internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
  269. kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
  270. bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
  271. "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
  272. converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
  273. Linux kernel.
  274. When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
  275. "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
  276. default environment.
  277. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  278. When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
  279. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  280. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  281. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  282. New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
  283. passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
  284. concepts).
  285. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  286. * New libfdt-based support
  287. * Adds the "fdt" command
  288. * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
  289. OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node.
  290. OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node.
  291. OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
  292. OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
  293. boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
  294. addresses
  295. CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
  296. Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
  297. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
  298. CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
  299. This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
  300. param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
  301. - vxWorks boot parameters:
  302. bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
  303. environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
  304. It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
  305. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
  306. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
  307. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
  308. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
  309. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
  310. Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
  311. Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
  312. the defaults discussed just above.
  313. - Serial Ports:
  314. CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
  315. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  316. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
  317. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  318. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  319. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  320. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  321. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  322. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  323. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  324. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  325. - Console Interface:
  326. Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
  327. (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
  328. CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
  329. console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
  330. Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
  331. port routines must be defined elsewhere
  332. (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
  333. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  334. Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
  335. defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)
  336. VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
  337. (default big endian)
  338. VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
  339. rectangle fill
  340. (cf. smiLynxEM)
  341. VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
  342. bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
  343. VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
  344. (cols=pitch)
  345. VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
  346. VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
  347. VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
  348. (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)

  350. VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
  351. (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
  352. VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
  353. (i.e. i8042_tstc)
  354. VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
  355. (i.e. i8042_getc)
  356. CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
  357. (requires blink timer
  358. cf. i8042.c)
  359. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
  360. CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
  361. upper right corner

  363. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
  364. upper left corner
  365. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
  366. linux_logo.h for logo.
  367. Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  368. CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
  369. additional board info beside
  370. the logo
  371. When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
  372. default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
  373. environment 'console=serial'.
  374. When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
  375. messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
  376. the "silent" environment variable. See
  377. doc/README.silent for more information.
  378. - Console Baudrate:
  379. CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
  380. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  381. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  382. CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
  383. - Console Rx buffer length
  384. With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
  385. the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
  386. This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
  387. If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
  388. must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
  389. the SMC.
  390. - Interrupt driven serial port input:
  391. CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
  392. PPC405GP only.
  393. Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
  394. serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
  395. (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
  396. bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
  397. Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
  398. disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
  399. - Console UART Number:
  400. CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
  401. AMCC PPC4xx only.
  402. If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
  403. as default U-Boot console.
  404. - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
  405. Delay before automatically booting the default image;
  406. set to -1 to disable autoboot.
  407. See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
  408. work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
  409. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  410. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
  411. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
  412. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
  413. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  414. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  415. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
  416. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
  417. CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
  418. CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
  419. - Autoboot Command:
  420. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  421. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  422. define a command string that is automatically executed
  423. when no character is read on the console interface
  424. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  425. CONFIG_BOOTARGS
  426. This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
  427. command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
  428. environment value "bootargs".
  429. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  430. The value of these goes into the environment as
  431. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  432. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  433. RAM and NFS.
  434. - Pre-Boot Commands:
  435. CONFIG_PREBOOT
  436. When this option is #defined, the existence of the
  437. environment variable "preboot" will be checked
  438. immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  439. countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
  440. entering interactive mode.
  441. This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
  442. automatically generated or modified. For an example
  443. see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
  444. modified when the user holds down a certain
  445. combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
  446. booting the systems
  447. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  448. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  449. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  450. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  451. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  452. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  453. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  454. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  455. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  456. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  457. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  458. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  459. - Monitor Functions:
  460. Monitor commands can be included or excluded
  461. from the build by using the #include files
  462. "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted
  463. commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h"
  464. and augmenting with additional #define's
  465. for wanted commands.
  466. The default command configuration includes all commands
  467. except those marked below with a "*".

  546. uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
  547. systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
  548. initial stack and some data.
  549. XXX - this list needs to get updated!
  550. - Watchdog:
  551. CONFIG_WATCHDOG
  552. If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
  553. support. There must be support in the platform specific
  554. code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the
  555. SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
  556. register.
  557. - U-Boot Version:
  558. CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
  559. If this variable is defined, an environment variable
  560. named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
  561. version as printed by the "version" command.
  562. This variable is readonly.
  563. - Real-Time Clock:
  564. When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
  565. has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
  566. following options:
  567. CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx

  690. - USB Device:
  691. Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
  692. Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
  693. command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
  694. attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
  695. it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
  696. can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
  697. appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
  698. Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
  699. If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
  700. a Linux host by
  701. # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
  702. else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
  703. variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
  704. might be defined in YourBoardName.h
  705. CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
  706. Define this to build a UDC device
  707. CONFIG_USB_TTY
  708. Define this to have a tty type of device available to
  709. talk to the UDC device
  710. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV

  712. be set to usbtty.
  713. mpc8xx:
  714. CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
  715. Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
  716. - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
  717. CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
  718. Derive USB clock from brgclk
  719. - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
  720. If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
  721. define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
  722. or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
  723. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
  724. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
  725. should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
  726. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
  727. Define this string as the name of your company for
  728. - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"

  734. Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
  735. to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
  736. - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
  737. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
  738. Define this as the unique Product ID
  739. for your device
  740. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
  741. - MMC Support:
  742. The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
  743. enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
  744. accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
  745. to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
  746. enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
  747. the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
  748. - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
  749. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
  750. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV

  756. Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
  757. function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
  758. If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
  759. #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
  760. to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
  761. have not defined a custom partition
  762. - Keyboard Support:
  763. CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
  764. Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
  765. support
  766. CONFIG_I8042_KBD
  767. Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
  768. GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
  769. Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
  770. for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
  771. - Video support:
  772. CONFIG_VIDEO
  773. Define this to enable video support (for output to
  774. video).
  775. CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
  776. Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
  777. CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
  778. Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
  779. video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
  780. (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
  781. assumed.
  782. For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
  783. selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
  784. are possible:
  785. - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
  786. Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
  787. Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
  788. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  789. 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
  790. 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
  791. 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
  792. 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
  793. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  794. (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
  795. - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
  796. from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
  797. CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
  798. Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
  799. and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
  800. or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
  801. - Keyboard Support:
  802. CONFIG_KEYBOARD
  803. Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
  804. This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
  805. defined in your board-specific files.
  806. The only board using this so far is RBC823.
  807. - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
  808. Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
  809. display); also select one of the supported displays
  810. by defining one of these:
  811. CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
  812. HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
  813. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
  814. NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
  815. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
  816. NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
  817. Active, color, single scan.
  818. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
  819. NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
  820. Active, color, single scan.
  821. CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
  822. Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
  823. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  824. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  825. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  826. Active, color, single scan.
  827. CONFIG_HLD1045
  828. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  829. Active, color, single scan.
  830. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  831. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  832. or
  833. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  834. or
  835. Hitachi SP14Q002
  836. 320x240. Black & white.
  837. Normally display is black on white background; define
  838. CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
  839. - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
  840. If this option is set, the environment is checked for
  841. a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
  842. of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
  843. is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
  844. specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
  845. console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
  846. allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
  847. loaded very quickly after power-on.
  848. - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
  849. If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
  850. images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
  851. splashscreen support or the bmp command.
  852. - Compression support:
  853. CONFIG_BZIP2
  854. If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  855. images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  856. compressed images are supported.
  857. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  858. the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
  859. be at least 4MB.
  860. CONFIG_LZMA
  861. If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
  862. images is included.
  863. Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
  864. requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
  865. formula:
  866. (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
  867. Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
  868. and Literal pos bits.
  869. This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
  870. for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
  871. total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
  872. a very small buffer.
  873. Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
  874. then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
  875. the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
  876. - MII/PHY support:
  877. CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
  878. The address of PHY on MII bus.
  879. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  880. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  881. CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
  882. If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
  883. detection of gigabit PHY is included.
  884. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  885. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  886. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  887. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  888. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  889. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  890. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  891. command issued before MII status register can be read
  892. - Ethernet address:
  893. CONFIG_ETHADDR
  894. CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
  895. CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
  896. CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
  897. CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
  898. CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
  899. Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
  900. for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
  901. is not determined automatically.
  902. - IP address:
  903. CONFIG_IPADDR
  904. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  905. the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
  906. determined through e.g. bootp.
  907. - Server IP address:
  908. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  909. Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
  910. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  911. - Multicast TFTP Mode:
  912. CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
  913. Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
  914. rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
  915. tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
  916. driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
  917. multicast group.
  918. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  919. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  920. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  921. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  922. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  923. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  924. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  925. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  926. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  927. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  928. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  929. following delays are inserted then:
  930. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  931. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  932. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  933. 4th and following
  934. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  935. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  936. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
  937. CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
  938. CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
  939. CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
  940. CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
  941. CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
  942. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
  943. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
  944. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  945. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
  946. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
  947. CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
  948. CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
  949. CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
  950. CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
  951. environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
  952. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
  953. serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
  954. than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
  955. If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
  956. serverip will be stored in the additional environment
  957. variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
  958. stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  959. is defined.
  960. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
  961. to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
  962. need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
  963. If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
  964. of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
  965. option 12 to the DHCP server.
  966. CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
  967. A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
  968. receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
  969. This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
  970. respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
  971. AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
  972. to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
  973. DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
  974. least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
  975. that one of the retries will be successful but note that
  976. the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
  977. this delay.
  978. - CDP Options:
  979. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  980. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  981. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  982. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  983. of the device.
  984. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  985. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  986. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  987. eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  988. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  989. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  990. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  991. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  992. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  993. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  994. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  995. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  996. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  997. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  998. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  999. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  1000. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  1001. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  1002. - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
  1003. Several configurations allow to display the current
  1004. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  1005. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  1006. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  1007. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  1008. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  1009. kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
  1010. feature in U-Boot.
  1011. - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
  1012. Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
  1013. on those systems that support this (optional)
  1014. feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
  1015. - I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
  1016. These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
  1017. (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
  1018. include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
  1019. This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
  1020. command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
  1021. CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
  1022. clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
  1023. command line interface.
  1024. CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE is a recommended option that places
  1025. all I2C commands under a single 'i2c' root command. The
  1026. older 'imm', 'imd', 'iprobe' etc. commands are considered
  1027. deprecated and may disappear in the future.
  1028. CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
  1029. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
  1030. bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
  1031. support for I2C.
  1032. There are several other quantities that must also be
  1033. defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
  1034. In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
  1035. to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
  1036. to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
  1037. the CPU's i2c node address).
  1038. Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
  1039. sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
  1040. therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
  1041. p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
  1042. That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
  1043. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
  1044. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  1045. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  1046. I2C_INIT
  1047. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  1048. controller or configure ports.
  1049. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  1050. I2C_PORT
  1051. (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
  1052. assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
  1053. are 0..3 for ports A..D.
  1054. I2C_ACTIVE
  1055. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  1056. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  1057. define can be null.
  1058. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  1059. I2C_TRISTATE
  1060. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  1061. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  1062. define can be null.
  1063. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  1064. I2C_READ
  1065. Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
  1066. FALSE if it is low.
  1067. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  1068. I2C_SDA(bit)
  1069. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  1070. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1071. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  1072. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  1073. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  1074. I2C_SCL(bit)
  1075. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  1076. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1077. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  1078. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  1079. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  1080. I2C_DELAY
  1081. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  1082. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  1083. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  1084. like:
  1085. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  1086. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  1087. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  1088. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  1089. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  1090. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  1091. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  1092. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  1093. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  1094. is run early in the boot sequence.
  1095. CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  1096. This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
  1097. in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
  1098. variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
  1099. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1100. This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
  1101. must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
  1102. active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
  1103. Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
  1104. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
  1105. This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
  1106. when the 'i2c probe' command is issued (or 'iprobe' using the legacy
  1107. command). If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS is set, specify a list of bus-device
  1108. pairs. Otherwise, specify a 1D array of device addresses
  1109. e.g.
  1110. #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1111. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
  1112. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
  1113. #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1114. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
  1115. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
  1116. CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  1117. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
  1118. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
  1119. CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
  1120. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
  1121. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
  1122. CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
  1123. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
  1124. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
  1125. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
  1126. If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
  1127. If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
  1128. specified DTT device.
  1129. CONFIG_FSL_I2C
  1130. Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
  1131. drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
  1132. CONFIG_I2C_MUX
  1133. Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
  1134. I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
  1135. Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
  1136. new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
  1137. new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
  1138. the muxes to activate this new "bus".
  1139. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
  1140. feature!
  1141. Example:
  1142. Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
  1143. The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
  1144. The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
  1145. => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
  1146. Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
  1147. of I2C Busses with muxes:
  1148. => i2c bus
  1149. Busses reached over muxes:
  1150. Bus ID: 2
  1151. reached over Mux(es):
  1152. pca9544a@70 ch: 4
  1153. Bus ID: 3
  1154. reached over Mux(es):
  1155. pca9544a@70 ch: 6
  1156. pca9544a@71 ch: 4
  1157. =>
  1158. If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
  1159. u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
  1160. channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
  1161. the channel 4.
  1162. After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
  1163. usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
  1164. the 2 muxes.
  1165. This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
  1166. algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
  1167. Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
  1168. to add this option to other architectures.
  1169. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
  1170. defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
  1171. the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
  1172. between writing the address pointer and reading the
  1173. data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
  1174. of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
  1175. devices can use either method, but some require one or
  1176. the other.
  1177. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  1178. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  1179. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  1180. D/As on the SACSng board)
  1181. CONFIG_SPI_X
  1182. Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
  1183. (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
  1184. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  1185. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  1186. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  1187. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  1188. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  1189. defined, the board configuration must define several
  1190. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  1191. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  1192. CONFIG_HARD_SPI
  1193. Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
  1194. and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
  1195. must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
  1196. Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
  1197. example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
  1198. CONFIG_MXC_SPI
  1199. Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
  1200. SoCs. Currently only i.MX31 is supported.
  1201. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
  1202. Enables FPGA subsystem.
  1203. CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
  1204. Enables support for specific chip vendors.
  1205. (ALTERA, XILINX)
  1206. CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
  1207. Enables support for FPGA family.
  1208. (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
  1209. CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  1210. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  1211. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  1212. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  1213. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  1214. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  1215. status by the configuration function. This option
  1216. will require a board or device specific function to
  1217. be written.
  1218. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  1219. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  1220. configuration driver.
  1221. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  1222. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  1223. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  1224. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  1225. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  1226. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  1227. indicated a CRC error).
  1228. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  1229. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
  1230. after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
  1231. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  1232. ms.
  1233. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  1234. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
  1235. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
  1236. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  1237. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  1238. 200 ms.
  1239. - Configuration Management:
  1240. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  1241. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  1242. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1243. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1244. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1245. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1246. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1247. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1248. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1249. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1250. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1251. change this behaviour:
  1252. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1253. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1254. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1255. these parameters.
  1256. Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
  1257. _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1258. Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1259. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1260. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1261. read-only.]
  1262. - Protected RAM:
  1263. CONFIG_PRAM
  1264. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1265. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1266. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1267. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1268. this default value by defining an environment
  1269. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1270. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1271. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1272. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1273. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1274. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1275. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1276. setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
  1277. saveenv
  1278. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1279. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1280. not be affected by reboots.
  1281. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1282. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1283. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1284. following board configurations are known to be
  1285. "pRAM-clean":
  1286. ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
  1287. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
  1288. PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
  1289. - Error Recovery:
  1290. CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
  1291. Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
  1292. fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
  1293. This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
  1294. system where you want the system to reboot
  1295. automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
  1296. useful during development since you can try to debug
  1297. the conditions that lead to the situation.
  1298. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1299. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1300. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1301. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1302. default value of 5 is used.
  1303. CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
  1304. Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
  1305. - Command Interpreter:
  1306. CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
  1307. Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
  1308. Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
  1309. for the "hush" shell.
  1310. CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
  1311. Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
  1312. Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
  1313. powerful command line syntax like
  1314. if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
  1315. constructs ("shell scripts").
  1316. If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
  1317. with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
  1318. CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1319. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1320. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1321. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1322. Note:
  1323. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1324. space and global environment variables space are
  1325. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1326. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1327. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1328. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1329. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1330. Global environment variables are those you use
  1331. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1332. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1333. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1334. To store commands and special characters in a
  1335. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1336. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1337. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1338. symbols.
  1339. - Commandline Editing and History:
  1340. CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
  1341. Enable editing and History functions for interactive
  1342. commandline input operations
  1343. - Default Environment:
  1344. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1345. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1346. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1347. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1348. For example, place something like this in your
  1349. board's config file:
  1350. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1351. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1352. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1353. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1354. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1355. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1356. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1357. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1358. You better know what you are doing here.
  1359. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1360. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1361. the environment like the "source" command or the
  1362. boot command first.
  1363. - DataFlash Support:
  1364. CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
  1365. Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
  1366. allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
  1367. commands cp, md...
  1368. - SystemACE Support:
  1369. CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1370. Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
  1371. chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
  1372. of the chip must also be defined in the
  1373. CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
  1374. #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1375. #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
  1376. When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
  1377. becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
  1378. - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
  1379. CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
  1380. If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
  1381. is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
  1382. If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
  1383. number generator is used.
  1384. Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
  1385. the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
  1386. defined, the normal port 69 is used.
  1387. The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
  1388. blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
  1389. target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
  1390. "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
  1391. the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
  1392. A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
  1393. but sometimes that is not allowed.
  1394. - Show boot progress:
  1395. CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
  1396. Defining this option allows to add some board-
  1397. specific code (calling a user-provided function
  1398. "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
  1399. the system's boot progress on some display (for
  1400. example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
  1401. the following checkpoints are implemented:
  1402. - Automatic software updates via TFTP server

  1546. Modem Support:
  1547. --------------
  1548. [so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
  1549. - Modem support enable:
  1550. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
  1551. - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
  1552. CONFIG_HWFLOW
  1553. - Modem debug support:
  1554. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
  1555. Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
  1556. for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
  1557. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  1558. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  1559. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  1560. for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  1561. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  1562. CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  1563. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  1564. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
  1565. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  1566. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  1567. general timer_interrupt().
  1568. - General:
  1569. In the target system modem support is enabled when a
  1570. specific key (key combination) is pressed during
  1571. power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
  1572. (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
  1573. board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
  1574. function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
  1575. initialization.
  1576. If there are no modem init strings in the
  1577. environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
  1578. previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
  1579. suppressed, though.
  1580. See also: doc/README.Modem
  1581. Configuration Settings:
  1582. -----------------------
  1583. - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  1584. undefine this when you're short of memory.
  1585. - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
  1586. width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
  1587. - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
  1588. prompt for user input.
  1589. - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  1590. - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  1591. - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
  1592. - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
  1593. the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
  1594. booted
  1595. - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
  1596. List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
  1597. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
  1598. Suppress display of console information at boot.
  1599. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  1600. If the board specific function
  1601. extern int overwrite_console (void);
  1602. returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
  1603. serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
  1604. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
  1605. Enable the call to overwrite_console().
  1606. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
  1607. Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
  1608. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
  1609. Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
  1610. simple memory test.
  1611. - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
  1612. Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
  1613. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
  1614. Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
  1615. You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
  1616. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
  1617. If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
  1618. this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
  1619. (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
  1620. fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
  1621. the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
  1622. This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
  1623. board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
  1624. recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
  1625. will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
  1626. This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
  1627. CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
  1628. be touched.
  1629. WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
  1630. the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
  1631. then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
  1632. non page size aligned address and this could cause major
  1633. problems.
  1634. - CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR:
  1635. Default load address for network file downloads
  1636. - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  1637. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  1638. - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
  1639. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  1640. - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
  1641. Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
  1642. Cogent motherboard)
  1643. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
  1644. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  1645. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
  1646. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  1647. make config files to be same as the text base address
  1648. (TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  1649. CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  1650. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
  1651. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  1652. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  1653. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  1654. flash sector.
  1655. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
  1656. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  1657. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
  1658. Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
  1659. uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
  1660. you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
  1661. to adjust this setting to your needs.
  1662. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
  1663. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  1664. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  1665. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
  1666. used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
  1667. enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
  1668. all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
  1669. and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
  1670. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  1671. Max number of Flash memory banks
  1672. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
  1673. Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
  1674. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
  1675. Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
  1676. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
  1677. Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
  1678. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
  1679. Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
  1680. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
  1681. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  1682. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
  1683. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  1684. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  1685. - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  1686. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  1687. without this option such a download has to be
  1688. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  1689. copy from RAM to flash.
  1690. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  1691. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  1692. the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
  1693. too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
  1694. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  1695. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
  1696. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  1697. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  1698. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  1699. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  1700. in the drivers directory
  1701. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
  1702. This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
  1703. in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
  1704. to the MTD layer.
  1705. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
  1706. Use buffered writes to flash.
  1707. - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
  1708. s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
  1709. write commands.
  1710. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
  1711. If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
  1712. print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
  1713. is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
  1714. optionally available.
  1715. - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
  1716. If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
  1717. digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
  1718. column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
  1719. - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  1720. Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
  1721. Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  1722. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  1723. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  1724. on high Ethernet traffic.
  1725. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  1726. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  1727. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  1728. following configurations:
  1729. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
  1730. Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
  1731. a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
  1732. "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
  1733. happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
  1734. sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
  1735. sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
  1736. layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
  1737. such a case you would place the environment in one of the
  1738. 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
  1739. "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
  1740. environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
  1741. between U-Boot and the environment.
  1742. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1743. Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
  1744. beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
  1745. type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
  1746. for this sector is given here.
  1747. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
  1748. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1749. This is just another way to specify the start address of
  1750. the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
  1751. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
  1752. - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
  1753. Size of the sector containing the environment.
  1754. b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
  1755. In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
  1756. the environment.
  1757. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1758. If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
  1759. and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
  1760. of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
  1761. memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
  1762. It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
  1763. when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
  1764. since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
  1765. for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
  1766. STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
  1767. updating the environment in flash makes it always
  1768. necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
  1769. wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
  1770. RAM, your target system will be dead.
  1771. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
  1772. CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
  1773. These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
  1774. a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
  1775. a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
  1776. a "saveenv" operation.
  1777. BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
  1778. source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
  1779. accordingly!
  1780. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
  1781. Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
  1782. (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
  1783. environment.
  1784. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1785. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1786. These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
  1787. want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
  1788. can just be read and written to, without any special
  1789. provision.
  1790. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  1791. in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  1792. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
  1793. U-Boot will hang.
  1794. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  1795. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  1796. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  1797. to save the current settings.
  1798. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
  1799. Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
  1800. device and a driver for it.
  1801. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1802. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1803. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1804. environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
  1805. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
  1806. If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
  1807. The default address is zero.
  1808. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
  1809. If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
  1810. single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
  1811. would require six bits.
  1812. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
  1813. If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
  1814. page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
  1815. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
  1816. The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
  1817. that this is NOT the chip address length!
  1818. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
  1819. EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
  1820. like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
  1821. address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
  1822. slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
  1823. byte chips.
  1824. Note that we consider the length of the address field to
  1825. still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
  1826. in the chip address.
  1827. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
  1828. The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
  1829. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
  1830. Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
  1831. want to use for the environment.
  1832. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1833. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1834. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1835. These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1836. environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
  1837. at the specified address.
  1838. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
  1839. Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
  1840. for the environment.
  1841. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1842. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1843. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
  1844. area within the first NAND device.
  1845. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND
  1846. This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
  1847. size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
  1848. so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
  1849. power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
  1850. Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
  1851. to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
  1852. the NAND devices block size.
  1853. - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
  1854. Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
  1855. area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
  1856. is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
  1857. scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
  1858. calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
  1859. to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
  1860. start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
  1861. Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
  1862. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  1863. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
  1864. until then to read environment variables.
  1865. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  1866. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  1867. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  1868. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  1869. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  1870. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  1871. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  1872. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  1873. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  1874. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  1875. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  1876. Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  1877. also needs to be defined.
  1878. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  1879. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  1880. - CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF:
  1881. Makes vsprintf (and all *printf functions) support printing
  1882. of 64bit values by using the L quantifier
  1883. - CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL:
  1884. Adds simple_strtoull that returns a 64bit value
  1885. - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
  1886. Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
  1887. and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
  1888. drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
  1889. space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
  1890. limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
  1891. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  1892. ---------------------------------------------------
  1893. - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  1894. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  1895. - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
  1896. Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
  1897. Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
  1898. and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
  1899. the IMMR register after a reset.
  1900. - Floppy Disk Support:
  1901. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
  1902. the default drive number (default value 0)
  1903. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
  1904. defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
  1905. (default value 1)
  1906. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
  1907. defines the offset of register from address. It
  1908. depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
  1909. the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
  1910. If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
  1911. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
  1912. default value.
  1913. if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
  1914. fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
  1915. setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
  1916. source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
  1917. initializations.
  1918. - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
  1919. DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
  1920. doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
  1921. - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  1922. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  1923. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  1924. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  1925. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  1926. will become available only after programming the
  1927. memory controller and running certain initialization
  1928. sequences.
  1929. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  1930. - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  1931. - MPC824X: data cache
  1932. - PPC4xx: data cache
  1933. - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  1934. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  1935. area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  1936. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  1937. data is located at the end of the available space
  1938. (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END -
  1939. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  1940. below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  1941. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  1942. Note:
  1943. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  1944. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  1945. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  1946. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  1947. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
  1948. - CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6)
  1949. - CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9)

  2001. required.
  2002. - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
  2003. Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
  2004. with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
  2005. SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
  2006. I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
  2007. - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  2008. If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
  2009. one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
  2010. to something your driver can deal with.
  2011. - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
  2012. Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
  2013. be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
  2014. - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
  2015. Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
  2016. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
  2017. Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
  2018. to the given FEC; i. e.
  2019. #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
  2020. means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
  2021. When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
  2022. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
  2023. The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
  2024. (so program the FEC to ignore it).
  2025. - CONFIG_RMII
  2026. Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
  2027. Note that this is a global option, we can't
  2028. have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
  2029. - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
  2030. Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
  2031. The syntax is:
  2032. => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
  2033. Where address/count indicate a memory area
  2034. and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
  2035. area should have.
  2036. - CONFIG_LOOPW
  2037. Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
  2038. the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
  2039. - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
  2040. Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
  2041. "md/mw" commands.
  2042. Examples:
  2043. => mdc.b 10 4 500
  2044. This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
  2045. => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
  2046. This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
  2047. This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
  2048. globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
  2049. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
  2050. - CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT
  2051. [ARM only] If these variables are defined, then
  2052. certain low level initializations (like setting up
  2053. the memory controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does
  2054. not relocate itself into RAM.
  2055. Normally these variables MUST NOT be defined. The
  2056. only exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by
  2057. some other boot loader or by a debugger which
  2058. performs these initializations itself.
  2059. Building the Software:
  2060. ======================
  2061. Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
  2062. and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
  2063. all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
  2064. (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
  2065. recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
  2066. which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
  2067. If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
  2068. have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
  2069. you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
  2070. Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
  2071. necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
  2072. $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
  2073. $ export CROSS_COMPILE
  2074. Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
  2075. the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
  2076. (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
  2077. toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
  2078. $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
  2079. Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
  2080. be executed on computers running Windows.
  2081. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  2082. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  2083. is done by typing:
  2084. make NAME_config
  2085. where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
  2086. rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
  2087. Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
  2088. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  2089. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  2090. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  2091. when choosing the configuration, i. e.
  2092. make TQM823L_config
  2093. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  2094. make TQM823L_LCD_config
  2095. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  2096. etc.
  2097. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  2098. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  2099. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  2100. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  2101. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  2102. By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
  2103. in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
  2104. this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
  2105. 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
  2106. make O=/tmp/build distclean
  2107. make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
  2108. make O=/tmp/build all
  2109. 2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
  2110. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2111. make distclean
  2112. make NAME_config
  2113. make all
  2114. Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
  2115. variable.
  2116. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  2117. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  2118. native "make".
  2119. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  2120. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  2121. steps:
  2122. 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
  2123. "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
  2124. entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
  2125. boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
  2126. keep this order.
  2127. 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  2128. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  2129. the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
  2130. 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  2131. your board
  2132. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  2133. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  2134. 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
  2135. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  2136. to be installed on your target system.
  2137. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  2138. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  2139. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  2140. ==============================================================
  2141. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  2142. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  2143. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  2144. the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  2145. official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
  2146. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  2147. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  2148. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  2149. just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
  2150. for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
  2151. select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
  2152. environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
  2153. you can type
  2154. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2155. or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
  2156. CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
  2157. When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
  2158. U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
  2159. setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
  2160. built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
  2161. <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
  2162. location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
  2163. variable. For example:
  2164. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2165. export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
  2166. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2167. With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
  2168. log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
  2169. during the whole build process.
  2170. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

  2223. TODO.
  2224. For now: just type "help <command>".
  2225. Environment Variables:
  2226. ======================
  2227. U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
  2228. can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
  2229. Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
  2230. "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
  2231. without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
  2232. environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
  2233. working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
  2234. environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
  2235. Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables:
  2236. baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
  2237. bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  2238. bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  2239. bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
  2240. bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
  2241. bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2242. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2243. a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
  2244. for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
  2245. environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
  2246. also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
  2247. kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
  2248. bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2249. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2250. a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
  2251. allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
  2252. environment variable.
  2253. updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
  2254. by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
  2255. documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
  2256. autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
  2257. "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
  2258. configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
  2259. load any image using TFTP
  2260. autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
  2261. "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
  2262. to automatically run script images (by internally
  2263. calling "source").
  2264. autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
  2265. variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
  2266. autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
  2267. "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
  2268. be automatically started (by internally calling
  2269. "bootm")
  2270. If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
  2271. "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
  2272. (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
  2273. This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
  2274. data.
  2275. i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  2276. if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
  2277. mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
  2278. initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
  2279. it must be saved and board must be reset.
  2280. initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
  2281. If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
  2282. copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
  2283. is usually what you want since it allows for
  2284. maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
  2285. make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
  2286. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
  2287. variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
  2288. Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
  2289. address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
  2290. does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
  2291. For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
  2292. RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
  2293. you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
  2294. the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
  2295. sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
  2296. 12 MB as well - this can be done with
  2297. setenv initrd_high 00c00000
  2298. If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
  2299. indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
  2300. for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
  2301. memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
  2302. ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
  2303. boot time on your system, but requires that this
  2304. feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
  2305. ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2306. loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
  2307. "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
  2308. loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  2309. serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2310. bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  2311. bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  2312. bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  2313. ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2314. interface is used first.
  2315. ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2316. interface is currently active. For example you
  2317. can do the following
  2318. => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
  2319. => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
  2320. => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
  2321. => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
  2322. ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
  2323. available network interfaces.
  2324. It just stays at the currently selected interface.
  2325. netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
  2326. either succeed or fail without retrying.
  2327. When set to "once" the network operation will
  2328. fail when all the available network interfaces
  2329. are tried once without success.
  2330. Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
  2331. themselves.
  2332. npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
  2333. tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
  2334. UDP source port.
  2335. tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
  2336. destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
  2337. vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
  2338. Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
  2339. VLAN tagged frames.
  2340. The following environment variables may be used and automatically
  2341. updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
  2342. depending the information provided by your boot server:
  2343. bootfile - see above
  2344. dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
  2345. dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
  2346. gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
  2347. hostname - Target hostname
  2348. ipaddr - see above
  2349. netmask - Subnet Mask
  2350. rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
  2351. serverip - see above
  2352. There are two special Environment Variables:
  2353. serial# - contains hardware identification information such
  2354. as type string and/or serial number
  2355. ethaddr - Ethernet address
  2356. These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
  2357. the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
  2358. once they have been set once.
  2359. Further special Environment Variables:
  2360. ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
  2361. with the "version" command. This variable is
  2362. readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
  2363. Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
  2364. only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
  2365. Command Line Parsing:
  2366. =====================
  2367. There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
  2368. the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
  2369. Old, simple command line parser:
  2370. --------------------------------
  2371. - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
  2372. - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
  2373. - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
  2374. - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
  2375. for example:
  2376. setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
  2377. - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
  2378. setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
  2379. Hush shell:
  2380. -----------
  2381. - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
  2382. if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
  2383. until...do...done, ...
  2384. - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
  2385. commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
  2386. "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
  2387. command
  2388. General rules:
  2389. --------------
  2390. (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
  2391. command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
  2392. one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
  2393. executed anyway.
  2394. (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
  2395. calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
  2396. command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
  2397. variables are not executed.
  2398. Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
  2399. =======================================
  2400. Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
  2401. such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
  2402. "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
  2403. Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
  2404. MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
  2405. "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
  2406. If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
  2407. in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
  2408. ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
  2409. variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
  2410. o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  2411. environment, the SROM's address is used.
  2412. o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  2413. environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  2414. used.
  2415. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  2416. both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
  2417. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
  2418. addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
  2419. warning is printed.
  2420. o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
  2421. is raised.
  2422. Image Formats:
  2423. ==============
  2424. U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
  2425. images in two formats:
  2426. New uImage format (FIT)
  2427. -----------------------
  2428. Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
  2429. to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
  2430. components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
  2431. SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
  2432. Old uImage format
  2433. -----------------
  2434. Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
  2435. preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
  2436. details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
  2437. * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  2438. 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
  2439. LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
  2440. Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
  2441. INTEGRITY).
  2442. * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
  2443. IA64, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
  2444. Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC).
  2445. * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
  2446. * Load Address
  2447. * Entry Point
  2448. * Image Name
  2449. * Image Timestamp
  2450. The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
  2451. and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
  2452. CRC32 checksums.
  2453. Linux Support:
  2454. ==============
  2455. Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
  2456. easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
  2457. U-Boot.
  2458. U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
  2459. special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
  2460. "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
  2461. instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
  2462. serves several purposes:
  2463. - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  2464. applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  2465. Flash memory footprint)
  2466. - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  2467. lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
  2468. - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  2469. images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  2470. be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  2471. have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  2472. change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  2473. software is easier now.
  2474. Linux HOWTO:
  2475. ============
  2476. Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
  2477. ---------------------------------------
  2478. U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
  2479. configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
  2480. (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
  2481. Linux :-).
  2482. But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
  2483. Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
  2484. include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
  2485. Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
  2486. and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
  2487. as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
  2488. Configuring the Linux kernel:
  2489. -----------------------------
  2490. No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
  2491. device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
  2492. Building a Linux Image:
  2493. -----------------------
  2494. With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
  2495. not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
  2496. "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
  2497. U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
  2498. which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
  2499. 100% compatible format.
  2500. Example:
  2501. make TQM850L_config
  2502. make oldconfig
  2503. make dep
  2504. make uImage
  2505. The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
  2506. encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
  2507. CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
  2508. * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
  2509. * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
  2510. ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
  2511. -R .note -R .comment \
  2512. -S vmlinux linux.bin
  2513. * compress the binary image:
  2514. gzip -9 linux.bin
  2515. * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
  2516. mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
  2517. -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
  2518. -d linux.bin.gz uImage
  2519. The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
  2520. with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
  2521. combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
  2522. byte header containing information about target architecture,
  2523. operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
  2524. stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
  2525. "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
  2526. print the header information, or to build new images.
  2527. In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
  2528. contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
  2529. checksum verification:
  2530. tools/mkimage -l image
  2531. -l ==> list image header information
  2532. The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
  2533. from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
  2534. tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
  2535. -n name -d data_file image
  2536. -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  2537. -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  2538. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  2539. -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  2540. -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  2541. -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  2542. -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  2543. -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  2544. Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
  2545. address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
  2546. kernel version:
  2547. - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
  2548. - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
  2549. So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
  2550. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2551. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
  2552. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
  2553. > examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2554. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2555. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

  2594. Installing a Linux Image:
  2595. -------------------------
  2596. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  2597. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  2598. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  2599. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  2600. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  2601. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  2602. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  2603. command.
  2604. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  2605. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  2606. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
  2607. .......... done
  2608. Erased 8 sectors
  2609. => loads 40100000

  2617. ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
  2618. You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
  2619. this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
  2620. corruption happened:
  2621. => imi 40100000

  2630. -----------
  2631. The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
  2632. memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
  2633. of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
  2634. parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
  2635. "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
  2636. => printenv bootargs
  2637. bootargs=root=/dev/ram
  2638. => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
  2639. => printenv bootargs

  2744. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  2745. ------------------------------
  2746. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  2747. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  2748. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  2749. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  2750. the Standalone Program.
  2751. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  2752. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  2753. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  2754. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  2755. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  2756. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  2757. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  2758. being started.
  2759. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  2760. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  2761. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  2762. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  2763. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  2764. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  2765. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  2766. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  2767. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  2768. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  2769. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  2770. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  2771. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  2772. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  2773. flash memory.
  2774. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  2775. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  2776. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  2777. as command interpreter.
  2778. Standalone HOWTO:
  2779. =================
  2780. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  2781. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  2782. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  2783. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  2784. "Hello World" Demo:
  2785. -------------------
  2786. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  2787. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  2788. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  2789. like that:
  2790. => loads
  2791. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  2792. ~>examples/hello_world.srec
  2793. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
  2794. [file transfer complete]
  2795. [connected]
  2796. ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
  2797. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  2798. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  2799. Hello World
  2800. argc = 7
  2801. argv[0] = "40004"
  2802. argv[1] = "Hello"
  2803. argv[2] = "World!"
  2804. argv[3] = "This"
  2805. argv[4] = "is"
  2806. argv[5] = "a"
  2807. argv[6] = "test."
  2808. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  2809. Hit any key to exit ...
  2810. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  2811. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  2812. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  2813. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  2814. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  2815. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  2816. controlled by the following keys:
  2817. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  2818. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  2819. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  2820. q - quit application
  2821. => loads

  2852. Minicom warning:
  2853. ================
  2854. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  2855. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  2856. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  2857. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  2858. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  2859. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
  2860. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  2861. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  2862. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  2863. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  2864. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  2865. NetBSD Notes:
  2866. =============
  2867. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  2868. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  2869. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  2870. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  2871. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  2872. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  2873. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  2874. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  2875. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  2876. # mkdir powerpc
  2877. # ln -s powerpc machine
  2878. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  2879. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  2880. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  2881. and U-Boot include files.
  2882. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  2883. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  2884. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  2885. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  2886. meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
  2887. Implementation Internals:
  2888. =========================
  2889. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  2890. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  2891. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  2892. hardware.
  2893. Initial Stack, Global Data:
  2894. ---------------------------
  2895. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  2896. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  2897. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  2898. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  2899. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  2900. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  2901. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  2902. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  2903. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  2904. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  2905. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  2906. U-Boot mailing list:
  2907. Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
  2908. From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
  2909. Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
  2910. ...
  2911. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  2912. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  2913. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  2914. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  2915. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  2916. beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
  2917. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  2918. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  2919. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  2920. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  2921. initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  2922. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  2923. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  2924. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  2925. used.
  2926. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  2927. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  2928. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  2929. walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  2930. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  2931. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  2932. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  2933. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  2934. you get the config right.

  2937. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  2938. code for the initialization procedures:
  2939. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  2940. to write it.
  2941. * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
  2942. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  2943. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  2944. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  2945. that.
  2946. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  2947. normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
  2948. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  2949. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  2950. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  2951. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  2952. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  2953. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  2954. reserve for this purpose.
  2955. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  2956. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  2957. GCC's implementation.
  2958. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  2959. R1: stack pointer
  2960. R2: reserved for system use
  2961. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  2962. R5-R10: parameter passing
  2963. R13: small data area pointer
  2964. R30: GOT pointer
  2965. R31: frame pointer
  2966. (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
  2967. ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2968. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  2969. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  2970. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  2971. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  2972. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  2973. 624 text + 127 data).
  2974. On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:
  2975. http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
  2976. ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2977. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  2978. R0: function argument word/integer result
  2979. R1-R3: function argument word
  2980. R9: GOT pointer
  2981. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
  2982. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  2983. R12: temporary workspace
  2984. R13: stack pointer
  2985. R14: link register
  2986. R15: program counter
  2987. ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2988. NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
  2989. or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
  2990. Memory Management:
  2991. ------------------
  2992. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  2993. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  2994. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  2995. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  2996. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  2997. physical memory banks.
  2998. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  2999. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  3000. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  3001. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  3002. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
  3003. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  3004. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  3005. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  3006. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  3007. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  3008. this:
  3009. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
  3010. :
  3011. 0x0000 1FFF
  3012. 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
  3013. :
  3014. :
  3015. :
  3016. :
  3017. 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
  3018. 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
  3019. 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
  3020. :
  3021. 0x00FD FFFF
  3022. 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
  3023. ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
  3024. ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
  3025. 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
  3026. System Initialization:
  3027. ----------------------
  3028. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  3029. (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  3030. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
  3031. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  3032. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  3033. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  3034. which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
  3035. part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
  3036. the caches and the SIU.
  3037. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  3038. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  3039. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  3040. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  3041. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  3042. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  3043. banks.
  3044. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  3045. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  3046. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  3047. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  3048. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  3049. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  3050. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  3051. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  3052. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  3053. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  3054. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  3055. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  3056. new address in RAM.

  3102. Coding Standards:
  3103. -----------------
  3104. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  3105. coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
  3106. "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
  3107. originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
  3108. spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
  3109. Source files originating from a different project (for example the
  3110. MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
  3111. reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
  3112. sources.
  3113. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
  3114. Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
  3115. in your code.
  3116. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  3117. - remove any trailing white space
  3118. - use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
  3119. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  3120. - do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
  3121. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  3122. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  3123. with a request to reformat the changes.
  3124. Submitting Patches:
  3125. -------------------
  3126. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  3127. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  3128. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  3129. Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
  3130. Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
  3131. see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
  3132. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  3133. it:
  3134. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  3135. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  3136. patch actually fixes something.
  3137. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  3138. implementation.
  3139. * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
  3140. * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
  3141. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
  3142. board to the MAKEALL script, too.
  3143. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  3144. document these in the README file.
  3145. * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
  3146. recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
  3147. "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
  3148. the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
  3149. with some other mail clients.
  3150. If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
  3151. diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
  3152. GNU diff.
  3153. The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
  3154. directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
  3155. your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
  3156. affected files).
  3157. We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
  3158. and compressed attachments must not be used.
  3159. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  3160. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  3161. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  3162. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  3163. Notes:
  3164. * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
  3165. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  3166. for any of the boards.
  3167. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  3168. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  3169. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  3170. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  3171. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  3172. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  3173. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  3174. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  3175. modification.
  3176. * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
  3177. u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
  3178. reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
  3179. bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
