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

172 Software Configuration:
173 =======================
175 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
176 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
178 There are two classes of configuration variables:
180 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
181 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
184 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
185 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
186 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
189 Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
190 symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
191 U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
192 allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
196 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
197 ---------------------------------------------------
199 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
200 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
202 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
205 make TQM823L_defconfig
207 Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
208 you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
209 doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
214 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
215 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
216 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
217 run some of U-Boot's tests.
219 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
222 Board Initialisation Flow:
223 --------------------------
225 This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
226 SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
228 Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
229 more detail later in this file.
231 At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
232 and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
233 may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
234 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
236 Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
237 CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
239 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
240 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
241 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
243 and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
244 limitations of each of these functions are described below.
247 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
248 - no global_data or BSS
249 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
250 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
251 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
253 - this is almost never needed
254 - return normally from this function
257 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
258 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
259 - global_data is available
261 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
262 only stack variables and global_data
264 Non-SPL-specific notes:
265 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
269 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
271 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
272 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
273 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
274 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
277 Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
278 this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
279 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
283 - purpose: main execution, common code
284 - global_data is available
286 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
287 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
289 Non-SPL-specific notes:
290 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
294 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
295 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
296 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
297 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
298 spl_board_init() function containing this call
299 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
303 Configuration Options:
304 ----------------------
306 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
307 such information is kept in a configuration file
308 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
310 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
311 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
314 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
315 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
316 build a config tool - later.
319 The following options need to be configured:
321 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
323 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
325 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
326 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
328 - Marvell Family Member
329 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
330 multiple fs option at one time
331 for marvell soc family
333 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
337 reference PIT/RTC clock
338 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
341 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
342 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
343 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
344 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
345 See doc/README.MPC866
347 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350 of relying on the correctness of the configured
351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
356 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
358 Define this option if you want to enable the
359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366 compliance, among other possible reasons.
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
377 tree nodes for the given platform.
379 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
381 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
382 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
385 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
388 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
389 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
391 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
392 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
393 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
394 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
396 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
399 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
400 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
401 required during NOR boot.
403 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
404 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
405 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
407 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
409 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
410 according to the A004510 workaround.
412 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
413 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
414 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
416 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
417 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
418 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
420 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
421 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
422 connected to the DSP core.
424 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
425 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
427 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
428 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
429 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
430 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
432 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
433 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
434 time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
437 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
438 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
440 - Generic CPU options:
441 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
442 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
443 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
444 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
445 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
447 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
449 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
450 values is arch specific.

517 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_RCW
518 It adds PBI(pre-boot instructions) commands in u-boot build image.
519 PBI commands can be used to configure SoC before it starts the execution.
520 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details
523 It adds a target to create boot binary having SPL binary in PBI format
524 concatenated with u-boot binary.

529 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_LE
530 Defines the DDR controller register space as Little Endian
532 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY
533 Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the
534 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But
535 it could be different for ARM SoCs.
537 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B

600 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
603 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
604 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
605 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
606 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
607 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
608 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
609 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
610 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
612 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
613 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
614 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
615 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
616 set these options unless they apply!
619 Generic timer clock source frequency.
621 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
622 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
623 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
626 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
627 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
628 specific checks, but expect no product checks.
629 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
630 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
631 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
632 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
633 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
636 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
638 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
639 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
640 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
642 - Linux Kernel Interface:
645 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
646 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
647 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
648 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
649 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
650 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
652 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
653 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
656 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
658 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
659 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
660 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
664 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
665 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
669 * New libfdt-based support
670 * Adds the "fdt" command
671 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
673 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
674 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
675 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
676 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
677 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
678 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
680 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
683 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
685 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
686 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
688 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
690 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
691 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
692 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
697 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
698 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
699 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
700 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
701 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
702 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
704 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
706 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
707 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
708 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
709 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
710 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
711 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
712 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
714 - vxWorks boot parameters:
716 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
717 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
718 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
719 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
721 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
722 the defaults discussed just above.
724 - Cache Configuration:
725 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
726 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
727 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
729 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
730 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
732 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
733 controller register space
738 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
742 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
746 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
747 the clock speed of the UARTs.
751 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
752 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
753 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
755 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
757 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
758 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
761 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
762 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
763 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
764 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
766 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
767 port routines must be defined elsewhere
768 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
771 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
772 Select one of the baudrates listed in
773 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
774 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
776 - Console Rx buffer length
777 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
778 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
779 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
780 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
781 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
786 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
787 define a command string that is automatically executed
788 when no character is read on the console interface
789 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
792 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
793 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
794 environment value "bootargs".
796 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
797 The value of these goes into the environment as
798 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
799 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
803 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
804 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
806 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
809 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
810 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
811 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
812 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
813 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
814 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
815 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
816 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
821 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
822 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
823 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
824 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
825 entering interactive mode.
827 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
828 automatically generated or modified. For an example
829 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
830 modified when the user holds down a certain
831 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
834 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
836 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
837 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
838 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
839 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
840 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
841 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
843 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
845 Select one of the baudrates listed in
846 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
849 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
850 from the build by using the #include files
851 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
852 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

972 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
974 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
975 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
976 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
977 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
978 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
979 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
980 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
981 initial stack and some data.
984 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
986 - Removal of commands
987 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
988 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
989 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
990 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
991 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
992 simple boot procedures.
994 - Regular expression support:
996 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
997 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
998 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
999 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1003 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1004 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1005 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1006 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1007 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1009 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1010 be done using one of the two options below:
1013 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1014 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1015 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1016 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1017 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1020 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1021 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1022 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1024 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1026 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1027 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1028 still use the individual files if you need something more
1033 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1034 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1035 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1036 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1037 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1038 available, then no further board specific code should
1039 be needed to use it.
1042 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1043 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1044 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1046 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1047 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1050 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1051 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1052 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1053 version as printed by the "version" command.
1054 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1059 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1060 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1063 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1064 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1065 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1066 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1067 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1068 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1069 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1070 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1071 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1072 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1073 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1074 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1075 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1078 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1079 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1082 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1084 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1085 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1086 pins supported by a particular chip.
1088 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1089 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1092 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1093 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1094 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1095 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1096 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1097 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1098 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1099 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1101 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1102 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1103 still continue to operate.
1106 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1107 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1108 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1109 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1110 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1111 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1113 - Timestamp Support:
1115 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1116 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1117 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1118 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1120 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1121 Zero or more of the following:
1122 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1123 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1124 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1125 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1126 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1127 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1129 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1131 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1132 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1133 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1136 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1137 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1139 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1140 be performed by calling the function
1141 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1142 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1147 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1152 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1153 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1154 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1155 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1157 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1158 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1162 At the moment only there is only support for the
1163 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1164 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1166 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1167 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1168 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1169 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1171 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1173 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1174 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1176 - NETWORK Support (PCI):
1178 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1181 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1182 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1183 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1185 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1186 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for

1257 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1258 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1259 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1260 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

1344 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1345 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1346 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1349 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1351 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1353 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1357 for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1358 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
1359 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100
1360 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
1361 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
1362 May be defined to allow interrupt polling
1363 instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1365 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1366 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1368 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1369 HW module registers.
1372 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1373 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1374 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1375 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1376 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1377 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1378 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1379 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1380 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1382 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1383 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1384 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1385 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1388 Define this to build a UDC device
1391 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1392 talk to the UDC device
1395 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1396 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1397 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1398 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1399 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1402 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1403 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1407 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1408 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1409 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1411 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1412 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1413 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1414 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1415 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1416 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1418 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1419 Define this string as the name of your company for
1420 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1422 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1423 Define this string as the name of your product
1424 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1426 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1427 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1428 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1429 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1430 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1432 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1433 Define this as the unique Product ID
1435 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1437 - ULPI Layer Support:
1438 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1439 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1440 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1441 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1442 viewport is supported.
1443 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1444 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1445 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1446 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1447 the appropriate value in Hz.
1450 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1451 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1452 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1453 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1454 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1455 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1458 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1460 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1461 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1464 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1466 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1467 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1469 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1470 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1471 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1473 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1474 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1475 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1478 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1479 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1480 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1481 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1484 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1487 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1490 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1491 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1492 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1493 one that would help mostly the developer.
1495 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1496 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1497 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1498 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1499 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1501 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1502 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1503 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1504 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1505 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1506 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1508 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1509 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1510 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1511 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1513 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1514 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1515 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1516 sending again an USB request to the device.
1518 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1519 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1520 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1523 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1524 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1525 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1526 used on Android devices.
1527 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1529 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1530 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1531 image format header.
1533 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1534 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1535 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1538 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1539 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1540 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1541 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1543 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1544 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1545 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1546 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1548 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1549 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1550 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1551 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1553 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1554 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1555 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1556 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1557 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1558 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1559 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1560 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1562 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1563 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1565 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1566 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1567 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1569 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1571 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1573 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1574 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1575 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1577 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1580 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1581 file in FAT formatted partition.
1583 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1584 user to write files to FAT.
1586 - CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support:
1589 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1590 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1593 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1594 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1596 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1597 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1600 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1604 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1605 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1606 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1607 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1612 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1613 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1614 support, and should also define these other macros:
1620 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1621 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1623 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1625 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1626 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1627 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1628 description of this variable.
1630 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1632 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1633 display); also select one of the supported displays
1634 by defining one of these:
1638 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1640 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1642 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1644 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1646 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1647 Active, color, single scan.
1649 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1651 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1652 Active, color, single scan.
1656 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1657 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1659 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1661 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1662 Active, color, single scan.
1666 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1667 Active, color, single scan.
1671 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1673 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1677 320x240. Black & white.
1679 Normally display is black on white background; define
1680 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1682 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1684 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1685 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1686 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1687 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1688 a per-section basis.
1693 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1694 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1695 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1696 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1698 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1699 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1700 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1701 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1702 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1703 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1704 1 = 90 degree rotation
1705 2 = 180 degree rotation
1706 3 = 270 degree rotation
1708 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1709 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1713 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1717 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1718 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1720 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1722 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1723 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1724 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1725 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1726 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1727 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1728 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1729 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1731 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1733 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1734 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1735 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1736 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1737 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1738 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1739 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1740 there is no need to set this option.
1742 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1744 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1745 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1746 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1747 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1748 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1749 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1752 setenv splashpos m,m
1753 => image at center of screen
1755 setenv splashpos 30,20
1756 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1758 setenv splashpos -10,m
1759 => vertically centered image
1760 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1762 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1764 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1765 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1766 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1768 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1770 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1771 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1774 - Compression support:
1777 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1781 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1782 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1783 compressed images are supported.
1785 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1786 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1791 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1794 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1795 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1798 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1800 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1801 and Literal pos bits.
1803 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1804 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1805 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1806 a very small buffer.
1808 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1809 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1810 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1814 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1820 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1822 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1824 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1828 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1829 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1831 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1833 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1834 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1835 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1836 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1838 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1840 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1841 command issued before MII status register can be read
1846 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1847 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1848 determined through e.g. bootp.
1849 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1851 - Server IP address:
1854 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1855 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1856 (Environment variable "serverip")
1858 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1860 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1861 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1863 - Gateway IP address:
1866 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1867 default router where packets to other networks are
1869 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1874 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1875 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1876 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1877 forwarded through a router.
1878 (Environment variable "netmask")
1880 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
1883 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1884 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
1885 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
1886 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1889 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1890 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1892 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1893 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1894 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1895 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1896 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1897 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1898 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1899 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1900 following delays are inserted then:
1902 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1903 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1904 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1906 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1908 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1910 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1911 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1912 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1913 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1914 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1915 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1916 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1917 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1918 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1919 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1920 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1921 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1922 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1923 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1924 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1926 - DHCP Advanced Options:
1927 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1928 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1930 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1931 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1932 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1933 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1934 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1935 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1938 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1939 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1940 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1941 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1942 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1944 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1945 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1947 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1948 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1949 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1950 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1953 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1954 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1955 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1956 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1957 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1958 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1959 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1962 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1963 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1964 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1965 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1966 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1967 option 12 to the DHCP server.
1969 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1971 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1972 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1973 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1974 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1975 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1976 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1977 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1978 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1979 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1980 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1983 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1984 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1985 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1986 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1987 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1989 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1992 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1994 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1996 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1998 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2003 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2004 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2005 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2007 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2009 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2010 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2014 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2018 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2022 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2024 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2026 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2027 device in .1 of milliwatts.
2029 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2031 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2033 - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
2035 Several configurations allow to display the current
2036 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2037 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2038 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2039 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2040 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2041 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
2046 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
2047 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2048 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2049 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
2050 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2052 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2053 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2054 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2055 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2056 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2057 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2059 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2061 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2062 on those systems that support this (optional)
2063 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2065 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C

2068 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2069 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2070 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See

2216 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS

2218 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2221 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES

2223 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2224 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2225 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2227 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2228 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \

2249 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2251 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2253 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2254 provides the following compelling advantages:
2256 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2257 - approved multibus support
2258 - better i2c mux support
2260 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2262 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2263 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2264 for the selected CPU.
2266 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2267 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2268 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2269 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2270 command line interface.
2272 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2274 There are several other quantities that must also be
2275 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2277 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2278 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2279 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2280 the CPU's i2c node address).
2282 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2283 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2284 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2285 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2286 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2288 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2290 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2291 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2292 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2293 commands until the slave device responds.
2295 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2297 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2298 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2299 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2303 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2304 controller or configure ports.
2306 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2310 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2311 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2312 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2316 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2317 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2320 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2324 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2325 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2328 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2332 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2335 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2339 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2340 is false, it clears it (low).
2342 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2343 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2344 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2348 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2349 is false, it clears it (low).
2351 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2352 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2353 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2357 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2358 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2359 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2362 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2364 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2366 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2367 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2368 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2369 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2371 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2372 the generic GPIO functions.
2374 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2376 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2377 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2378 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2379 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2380 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2381 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2382 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2383 is run early in the boot sequence.
2385 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2387 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2388 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2389 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2390 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2391 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2392 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2393 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2394 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2396 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2398 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2399 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2400 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2402 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2404 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2405 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2406 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2407 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2409 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2411 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2412 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2413 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2414 a 1D array of device addresses
2417 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2418 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2420 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2422 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2423 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2425 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2427 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2429 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2430 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2432 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2434 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2435 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2437 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2439 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2440 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2442 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2444 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2445 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2446 specified DTT device.
2448 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2450 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2451 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2452 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2453 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2454 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2455 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2458 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2460 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2461 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2462 D/As on the SACSng board)
2466 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2467 only SH7757 is supported.
2471 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2472 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2473 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2474 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2475 defined, the board configuration must define several
2476 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2477 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2481 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2482 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2483 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2484 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2485 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2489 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2490 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2492 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2493 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2494 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */

2502 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2505 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2507 Enables support for FPGA family.

2529 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2531 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2533 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2534 status by the configuration function. This option
2535 will require a board or device specific function to
2540 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2541 configuration driver.
2543 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2544 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2546 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2548 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2549 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2550 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2551 indicated a CRC error).
2553 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2555 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2556 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2557 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2560 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2562 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2563 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2565 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2567 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2570 - Configuration Management:
2573 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2574 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2575 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2576 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2581 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2582 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2584 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2586 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2587 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2588 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2589 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2590 protects these variables from casual modification by
2591 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2592 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2593 change this behaviour:
2595 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2596 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2597 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2600 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2601 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2602 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2603 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2604 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2607 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2608 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2609 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2610 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2615 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2616 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2617 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2618 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2619 this default value by defining an environment
2620 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2621 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2622 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2623 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2624 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2625 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2626 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2628 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2631 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2632 either, which results in a memory region that will
2633 not be affected by reboots.
2635 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2636 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2637 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2638 following board configurations are known to be
2641 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2642 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2645 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2646 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2647 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2648 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2649 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2650 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2651 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2656 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2657 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2658 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2659 system where you want the system to reboot
2660 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2661 useful during development since you can try to debug
2662 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2664 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2666 This variable defines the number of retries for
2667 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2668 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2669 default value of 5 is used.
2673 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2677 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2678 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2679 try longer timeout such as
2680 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2682 - Command Interpreter:
2683 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2685 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2687 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2689 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2690 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2691 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2695 In the current implementation, the local variables
2696 space and global environment variables space are
2697 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2698 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2699 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2700 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2701 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2703 Global environment variables are those you use
2704 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2705 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2706 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2708 To store commands and special characters in a
2709 variable, please use double quotation marks
2710 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2711 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2714 - Command Line Editing and History:
2715 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2717 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2718 command line input operations
2720 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2721 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2723 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2724 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2725 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2728 - Default Environment:
2729 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2731 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2732 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2733 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2735 For example, place something like this in your
2736 board's config file:
2738 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2742 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2743 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2744 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2745 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2746 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2747 You better know what you are doing here.
2749 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2750 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2751 the environment like the "source" command or the
2754 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2756 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2757 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2758 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2760 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2768 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2770 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2771 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2772 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2774 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2776 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2777 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2778 that so that the environment is not available until
2779 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2780 this is instead controlled by the value of
2781 /config/load-environment.
2783 - DataFlash Support:
2784 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2786 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2787 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2790 - Serial Flash support
2793 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2794 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2796 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2797 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2800 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2801 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2802 flash is present on the system.
2804 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2805 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2806 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2807 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2811 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2814 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2816 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2817 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2818 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2820 - SystemACE Support:
2823 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2824 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2825 of the chip must also be defined in the
2826 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2828 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2829 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2831 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2832 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2834 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2837 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2838 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2839 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2840 number generator is used.
2842 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2843 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2844 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2846 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2847 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2848 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2849 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2850 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2851 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2852 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2857 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2858 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2862 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2865 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
2866 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2867 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
2868 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2869 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
2870 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
2871 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
2872 hash_lookup_algo() function.
2873 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
2874 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
2875 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
2876 is performed in hardware.
2878 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2879 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2881 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2882 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2883 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2884 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2887 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2888 a boot from specific media.
2890 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2891 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2892 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2893 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2894 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2896 - bootcount support:
2897 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2899 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2900 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2903 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2905 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2907 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2908 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2909 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2910 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2911 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2912 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2913 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2915 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2917 - Show boot progress:
2918 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2920 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2921 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2922 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2923 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2924 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2925 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3079 151 common/cmd_nand.c FIT image format OK
3081 - legacy image format:
3082 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3083 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3086 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3088 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3089 disable the legacy image format
3091 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3092 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3094 - FIT image support:
3095 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3096 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3097 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3100 TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3101 and move it to Kconfig
3103 - Standalone program support:
3104 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3106 This option defines a board specific value for the
3107 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3108 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3111 - Frame Buffer Address:
3114 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3115 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3116 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3117 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3118 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3119 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3120 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3121 configured panel size.
3123 Please see board_init_f function.
3125 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3127 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3128 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3130 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3131 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3133 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3136 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3137 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3139 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3141 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3142 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3147 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3148 with the UBI flash translation layer
3150 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3152 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3154 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3155 warnings and errors enabled.
3158 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3159 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3160 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3161 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3162 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3163 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3165 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3166 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3167 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3168 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3169 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3173 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3174 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3175 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3176 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3177 flash), this value is ignored.
3179 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3180 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3181 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3182 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3183 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3184 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3186 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3187 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3188 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3189 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3190 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3191 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3192 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3197 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3198 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3199 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3200 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3201 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3202 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3203 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3204 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3205 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3206 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3207 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3208 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3210 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3211 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3215 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3216 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3222 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3223 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3225 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3227 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3229 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3230 warnings and errors enabled.
3234 Enable building of SPL globally.
3237 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3239 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3240 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3241 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3242 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3243 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3244 must not be both defined at the same time.
3247 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3248 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3249 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3252 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3253 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3255 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3256 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3257 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3259 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3260 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3262 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3263 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3264 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3265 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3266 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3267 must not be both defined at the same time.
3270 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3272 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3273 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3274 loaded does not have a signature.
3275 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3276 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3278 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3279 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3280 and thus should be skipped silently.
3282 CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3283 When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3284 if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3286 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3287 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3288 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3291 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3292 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3293 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3294 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3295 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3297 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3298 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3300 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3301 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3302 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3303 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3306 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3307 See also: doc/README.falcon
3309 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3310 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3311 about the running system.

3314 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3316 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3317 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being

3327 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3330 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3331 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3334 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3335 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3337 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3338 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3339 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3341 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3342 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3343 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3345 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3346 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3347 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3348 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3349 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3351 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3352 Avoid SPL relocation
3354 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3355 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3356 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3358 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3359 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3362 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3364 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3365 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3366 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3369 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3372 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3373 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3374 if you need to save space.
3376 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3377 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3380 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3381 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3382 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3383 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3384 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3385 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3388 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3389 Add support NAND boot
3391 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3392 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3394 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3395 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3397 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3398 Size of image to load
3400 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3401 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3403 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3404 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3405 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3407 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3408 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3409 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3411 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3412 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3415 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3416 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3417 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3418 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3419 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3422 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3423 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3424 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3426 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3427 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3428 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3429 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3430 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3434 Enable building of TPL globally.
3437 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3438 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3439 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3440 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3441 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3443 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3445 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3446 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3447 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3448 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3449 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3450 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3451 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3452 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3453 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3454 general timer_interrupt().
3457 Board initialization settings:
3458 ------------------------------
3460 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3461 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3462 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3463 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3464 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3465 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3467 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3468 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3469 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3470 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3472 Configuration Settings:
3473 -----------------------
3475 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3476 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3478 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3479 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3481 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3482 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3484 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3485 prompt for user input.
3487 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3489 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3491 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3493 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3494 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3497 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3498 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3500 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3501 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3504 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3505 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3507 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3508 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3509 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3511 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3512 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3513 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3514 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3515 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3516 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3517 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3518 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3520 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3521 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3522 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3523 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3524 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3525 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3526 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3527 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3528 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3529 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3531 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3532 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3535 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3536 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3537 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3538 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3541 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3542 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3544 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3545 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3547 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3548 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3550 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3551 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3552 make config files to be same as the text base address
3553 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3554 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3556 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3557 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3558 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3559 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3562 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3563 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3565 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3566 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3567 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3568 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3569 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3572 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3573 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3574 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3575 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3576 U-Boot relocates itself.
3578 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3579 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3580 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3581 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3583 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3584 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3585 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3586 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3587 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3588 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3589 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3590 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3591 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3592 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3593 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3594 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3595 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3596 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3597 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3598 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3600 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3602 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3603 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3604 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3605 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3606 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3608 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3609 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3610 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3611 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3612 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3613 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3614 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3615 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3616 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3617 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3618 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3620 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3621 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3622 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3625 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3626 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3627 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3629 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3630 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3631 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3633 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3634 Max number of Flash memory banks
3636 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3637 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3639 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3640 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3642 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3643 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3645 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3646 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3648 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3649 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3651 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3652 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3653 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3655 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3657 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3658 without this option such a download has to be
3659 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3660 copy from RAM to flash.
3662 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3663 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3664 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3665 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3666 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3668 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3669 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3670 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3672 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3673 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3674 in the drivers directory
3676 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3677 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3678 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3681 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3682 Use buffered writes to flash.
3684 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3685 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3688 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3689 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3690 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3691 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3692 optionally available.
3694 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3695 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3696 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3697 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3699 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3700 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3701 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3702 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3703 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3704 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3705 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3706 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3708 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3709 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3710 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3711 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3712 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3713 on high Ethernet traffic.
3714 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3716 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3718 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3719 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3720 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3721 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3722 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3724 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3725 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3726 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3727 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3728 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3729 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3731 The format of the list is:
3732 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3733 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3734 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3735 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3738 The type attributes are:
3739 s - String (default)
3742 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3746 The access attributes are:
3752 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3753 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3754 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3756 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3757 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3758 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3759 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3760 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3763 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3764 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3765 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3767 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3768 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3771 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3772 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3773 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3774 the value can be calculated on a given board.
3777 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3778 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3779 building U-Boot to enable this.
3781 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3782 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3783 following configurations:
3785 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3787 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3788 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3790 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3792 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3794 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3795 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3796 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3797 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3798 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3799 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3800 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3801 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3802 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3803 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3804 between U-Boot and the environment.
3806 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3808 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3809 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3810 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3811 for this sector is given here.
3813 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3817 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3818 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3821 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3823 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3826 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3827 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3832 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3833 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3834 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3835 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3837 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3838 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3839 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3840 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3841 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3842 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3843 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3844 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3845 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3847 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3848 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3850 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3851 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3852 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3853 a "saveenv" operation.
3855 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3856 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3860 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3862 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3863 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3869 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3870 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3871 can just be read and written to, without any special
3874 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3875 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3876 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3879 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3880 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3881 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3882 to save the current settings.
3885 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3887 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3888 device and a driver for it.
3890 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3893 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3894 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3896 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3897 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3898 The default address is zero.
3900 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
3901 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
3903 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3904 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3905 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3906 would require six bits.
3908 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3909 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3910 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
3912 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3913 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3914 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3916 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3917 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3918 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3919 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3920 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3923 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3924 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3925 in the chip address.
3927 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3928 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3930 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3931 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3932 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3934 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3935 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3936 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3937 EEPROM. For example:
3939 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
3941 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3942 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3944 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3946 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3947 want to use for the environment.
3949 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3953 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3954 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3955 at the specified address.
3957 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
3959 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
3960 want to use for the environment.
3962 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3965 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3966 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3967 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3969 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3971 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
3973 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3975 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3976 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3977 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3978 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3979 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3981 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
3982 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
3984 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
3986 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
3988 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
3990 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
3992 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
3994 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3996 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3997 want to use for the local device's environment.
4002 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4003 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4004 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4005 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4007 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4008 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4009 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4010 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4012 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4014 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4015 for the environment.
4017 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4020 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4021 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4022 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4024 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4026 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4027 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4028 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4029 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4030 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4032 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4034 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4035 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4036 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4037 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4038 the range to be avoided.
4040 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4042 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4043 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4044 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4045 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4046 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4048 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4050 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4051 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4052 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4054 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4056 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4057 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4058 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4060 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4062 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4064 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4066 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4069 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4071 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4072 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4073 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4075 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4076 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4078 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4079 when storing the env in UBI.
4081 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4082 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4084 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4086 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4088 - FAT_ENV_DEVICE_AND_PART:
4090 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4093 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4094 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4097 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4098 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4100 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4101 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4102 partition table then means device D.
4106 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4110 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4112 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4114 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4117 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4119 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4121 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4123 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4124 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4125 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4127 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4130 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4131 area within the specified MMC device.
4133 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4134 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4135 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4136 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4137 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4138 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4139 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4141 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4142 MMC sector boundary.
4144 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4146 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4147 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4148 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4149 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4151 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4152 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4154 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4155 an MMC sector boundary.
4157 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4159 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4160 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4163 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4165 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4166 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4167 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4168 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4169 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4170 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4171 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4173 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4174 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4175 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4176 until then to read environment variables.
4178 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4179 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4180 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4181 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4182 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4183 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4185 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4186 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4187 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4189 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4190 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4192 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4193 also needs to be defined.
4195 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4196 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4198 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4199 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4200 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4201 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4202 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4203 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4205 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4206 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4207 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4210 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4211 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4212 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4215 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4216 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4217 build system checks that the actual size does not
4220 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4221 ---------------------------------------------------
4223 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4224 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4226 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4227 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4229 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4230 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4231 the IMMR register after a reset.
4233 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4234 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4237 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4238 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4239 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4241 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4242 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4244 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4245 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4246 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4247 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4248 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4249 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4250 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4252 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4253 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4255 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4256 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4257 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4258 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4259 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4261 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4262 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4263 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4264 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4266 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4267 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4268 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4270 - Floppy Disk Support:
4271 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4273 the default drive number (default value 0)
4275 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4277 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4280 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4282 defines the offset of register from address. It
4283 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4284 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4286 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4287 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4290 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4291 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4292 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4293 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4297 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4298 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4299 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4300 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4301 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4304 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4305 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4306 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4308 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4310 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4311 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4312 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4313 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4314 will become available only after programming the
4315 memory controller and running certain initialization
4318 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4319 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4320 - MPC824X: data cache
4321 - PPC4xx: data cache
4323 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4325 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4326 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4327 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4328 data is located at the end of the available space
4329 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4330 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4331 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4332 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4335 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4336 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4337 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4338 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4339 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4405 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4406 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4409 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4410 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4411 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4412 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4413 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4414 by coreboot or similar.
4416 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4417 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4420 Chip has SRIO or not

4444 Example of drivers that use it:
4445 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4446 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4448 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4449 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4450 a default value will be used.
4453 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4454 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4457 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4459 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4460 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4461 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4462 to something your driver can deal with.
4464 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4465 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4466 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4467 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4468 header files or board specific files.
4470 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE

4473 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4474 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4476 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4477 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4479 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4480 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4481 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4483 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4484 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4486 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4487 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4488 to the given FEC; i. e.
4489 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4490 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4492 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4494 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4495 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4496 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4499 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4500 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4501 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4503 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4504 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4507 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4509 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4510 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4514 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4515 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4518 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4523 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4525 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4526 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4528 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4529 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4531 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4532 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4533 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4534 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4535 relocate itself into RAM.
4537 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4538 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4539 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4540 these initializations itself.
4542 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4543 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4544 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4545 instruction cache) is still performed.
4548 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4549 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4550 compiling a NAND SPL.
4553 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4554 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4555 It is loaded by the SPL.
4557 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4558 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4559 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4560 previous 4k of the .text section.
4562 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4563 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4564 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4565 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4566 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4567 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4568 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4569 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4571 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4572 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4573 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4576 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4578 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4580 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4581 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4583 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4584 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4585 driver that uses this:
4586 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4588 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4589 -----------------------------------
4591 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4592 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4593 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4594 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4597 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4598 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4599 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4602 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4603 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4604 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4607 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4608 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4609 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4610 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4611 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4613 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4614 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4615 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4616 virtual address in NOR flash.
4618 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4619 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4620 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4622 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4623 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4624 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4626 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4627 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4628 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4629 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4630 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4631 master's memory space.
4633 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4634 ---------------------------------------------------------
4635 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4637 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4638 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4641 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4642 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4644 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4645 -------------------------------------------
4646 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4647 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4648 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4650 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4651 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4656 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4657 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4659 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4660 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4661 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4663 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4665 Building the Software:
4666 ======================
4668 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4669 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4670 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4671 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4672 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4673 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4675 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4676 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4677 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4678 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4679 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4681 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4682 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4684 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4685 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4686 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4687 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4689 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4691 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4692 be executed on computers running Windows.
4694 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4695 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4700 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4701 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4703 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4704 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4705 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4706 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4707 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4709 make TQM823L_defconfig
4710 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4712 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4713 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4718 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4719 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4721 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4722 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4723 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4725 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4726 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4727 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4729 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4731 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4732 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4733 make O=/tmp/build all
4735 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4737 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4742 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4746 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4747 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4751 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4752 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4755 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4756 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4757 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4758 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4760 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4761 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4762 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4763 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4764 to be installed on your target system.
4765 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4766 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4769 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4770 ==============================================================
4772 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4773 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4774 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4775 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4776 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4778 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4779 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4780 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4781 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4782 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4783 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4787 See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

4847 Environment Variables:
4848 ======================
4850 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4851 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4853 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4854 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4855 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4856 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4857 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4858 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4860 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4862 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4864 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4866 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4868 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4870 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4872 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
4874 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4875 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4876 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4877 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4878 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4879 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4880 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4883 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4884 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4885 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4886 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4887 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4888 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4891 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4892 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4893 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4894 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4895 environment variable.
4897 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4898 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4899 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4901 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4902 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4903 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4904 load any image using TFTP
4906 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4907 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4908 be automatically started (by internally calling
4911 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4912 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4913 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4914 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4917 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4918 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4919 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4920 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4921 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4922 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4923 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4924 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4925 access it during the boot procedure.
4927 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4928 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4929 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4930 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4931 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4932 must be accessible by the kernel.
4934 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4935 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4938 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4939 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4940 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4941 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4942 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4944 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4945 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4946 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4947 is usually what you want since it allows for
4948 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4949 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4950 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4951 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4952 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4953 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4954 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4956 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4957 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4958 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4959 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4960 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4961 12 MB as well - this can be done with
4963 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4965 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4966 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4967 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4968 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4969 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4970 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4971 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4973 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4975 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4976 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4978 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4980 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4982 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4984 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4986 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4988 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
4990 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4991 For example you can do the following
4993 => setenv ethact FEC
4994 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4995 => setenv ethact SCC
4996 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4998 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4999 available network interfaces.
5000 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5002 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5003 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5004 When set to "once" the network operation will
5005 fail when all the available network interfaces
5006 are tried once without success.
5007 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5010 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5012 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5013 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5014 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5015 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5018 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5021 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5022 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5024 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5025 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5027 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5028 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5029 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5030 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5031 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5032 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5033 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5035 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5036 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5037 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5038 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5039 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5040 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5041 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5043 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5044 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5047 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5048 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5049 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5050 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5051 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5053 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5054 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5055 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5056 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5057 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5058 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5059 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5061 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5062 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5063 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5065 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5066 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5067 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5068 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5069 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5070 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5072 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5073 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5074 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5076 bootfile - see above
5077 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5078 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5079 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5080 hostname - Target hostname
5082 netmask - Subnet Mask
5083 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5084 serverip - see above
5087 There are two special Environment Variables:
5089 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5090 as type string and/or serial number
5091 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5093 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5094 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5095 once they have been set once.
5098 Further special Environment Variables:
5100 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5101 with the "version" command. This variable is
5102 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5105 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5106 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5109 Callback functions for environment variables:
5110 ---------------------------------------------
5112 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5113 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
5114 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5115 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5116 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5118 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5119 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5121 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5122 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5123 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5124 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5126 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5129 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5130 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5132 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5133 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5134 override any association in the static list. You can define
5135 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5136 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5138 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5139 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5140 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5143 Command Line Parsing:
5144 =====================
5146 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5147 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5149 Old, simple command line parser:
5150 --------------------------------
5152 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5153 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5154 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5155 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5157 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5158 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5159 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5164 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5165 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5166 until...do...done, ...
5167 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5168 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5169 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5175 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5176 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5177 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5180 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5181 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5182 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5183 variables are not executed.
5185 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5186 =======================================
5188 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5189 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5190 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5192 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5193 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5194 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5196 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5197 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5198 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5199 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5201 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5202 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5204 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5205 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5208 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5209 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5211 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5212 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5215 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5216 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5217 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5219 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5220 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5221 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5222 The naming convention is as follows:
5223 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5228 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5229 images in two formats:
5231 New uImage format (FIT)
5232 -----------------------
5234 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5235 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5236 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5237 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5243 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5244 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5245 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5247 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5248 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5249 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5250 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5252 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5253 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5254 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5255 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5261 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5262 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5269 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5270 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5273 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5274 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5275 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5276 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5277 serves several purposes:
5279 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5280 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5281 Flash memory footprint)
5283 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5284 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5286 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5287 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5288 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5289 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5290 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5291 software is easier now.
5297 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5298 ---------------------------------------
5300 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5301 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5302 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5305 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5307 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5308 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5309 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5310 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5311 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5313 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5314 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5315 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5319 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5320 -----------------------------
5322 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5323 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5326 Building a Linux Image:
5327 -----------------------
5329 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5330 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5331 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5332 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5333 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5334 100% compatible format.
5338 make TQM850L_defconfig
5343 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5344 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5345 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5347 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5349 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5351 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5352 -R .note -R .comment \
5353 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5355 * compress the binary image:
5359 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5361 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5362 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5363 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5366 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5367 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5368 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5369 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5370 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5371 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5373 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5374 print the header information, or to build new images.
5376 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5377 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5378 checksum verification:
5380 tools/mkimage -l image
5381 -l ==> list image header information
5383 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5384 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5386 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5387 -n name -d data_file image
5388 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5389 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5390 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5391 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5392 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5393 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5394 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5395 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5397 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5398 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5401 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5402 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5404 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5406 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5407 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5408 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5409 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5410 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5411 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5412 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5413 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5414 Load Address: 0x00000000
5415 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5417 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5419 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5420 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5421 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5422 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5423 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5424 Load Address: 0x00000000
5425 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5427 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5428 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5429 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5430 need to be uncompressed:
5432 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5433 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5434 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5435 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5436 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5437 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5438 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

5441 Load Address: 0x00000000
5442 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5445 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5446 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5448 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5449 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5450 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5451 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5452 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5453 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5454 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5455 Load Address: 0x00000000
5456 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5458 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5459 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5460 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5463 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5464 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5465 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5466 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5469 Installing a Linux Image:
5470 -------------------------
5472 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5473 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5475 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5477 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5478 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5479 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5480 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5483 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5484 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5486 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5492 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5493 ~>examples/image.srec
5494 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5496 15989 15990 15991 15992
5497 [file transfer complete]
5499 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5502 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5503 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5504 corruption happened:
5508 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...

5520 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5521 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5522 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5523 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5524 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5527 => printenv bootargs
5528 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5530 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5649 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5650 ------------------------------
5652 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5654 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5655 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5656 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5657 the Standalone Program.
5658 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5659 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5660 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5661 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5662 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5663 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5664 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5666 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5667 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5668 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5669 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5670 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5671 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5673 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5674 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5675 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5676 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5677 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5678 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5680 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5681 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5684 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5685 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5686 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5687 as command interpreter.
5689 Booting the Linux zImage:
5690 -------------------------
5692 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5693 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5694 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5696 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5697 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5698 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5699 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5705 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5706 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5707 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5709 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5714 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5715 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5716 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5720 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5721 ~>examples/hello_world.srec

5725 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004

5728 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5739 Hit any key to exit ...
5741 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5743 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5744 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5745 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5746 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5747 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5748 controlled by the following keys:
5750 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5751 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5752 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5753 q - quit application

5793 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5794 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5795 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5796 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5797 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5798 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5799 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5800 for help with kermit.
5803 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5804 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5806 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5807 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5808 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5814 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5815 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5817 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5818 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5819 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5820 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5821 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5822 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5824 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5826 # ln -s powerpc machine
5827 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5828 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5830 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5831 and U-Boot include files.
5833 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5834 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5835 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5836 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5837 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5840 Implementation Internals:
5841 =========================
5843 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5844 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5845 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5849 Initial Stack, Global Data:
5850 ---------------------------
5852 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5853 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5854 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5855 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5856 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5857 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5858 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5859 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5860 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5861 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5863 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5864 U-Boot mailing list:
5866 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5867 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5868 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5871 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5872 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5873 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5874 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5875 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5876 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5877 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5878 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5880 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5881 is another option for the system designer to use as an
5882 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5883 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5884 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5885 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5888 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5889 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5890 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5891 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5892 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5893 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5894 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5895 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5896 you get the config right.
5901 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5902 code for the initialization procedures:
5904 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5907 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5908 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5909 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5911 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5914 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5915 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5916 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5917 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5918 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5919 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5920 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5921 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5922 reserve for this purpose.
5924 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5925 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5926 GCC's implementation.
5928 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5930 R2: reserved for system use
5931 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5932 R5-R10: parameter passing
5933 R13: small data area pointer
5937 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5938 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5939 going back and forth between asm and C)
5941 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5943 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5944 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5945 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5946 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5947 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5948 624 text + 127 data).
5950 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
5951 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
5953 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
5955 On ARM, the following registers are used:
5957 R0: function argument word/integer result
5958 R1-R3: function argument word
5959 R9: platform specific
5960 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5961 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5962 R12: temporary workspace
5965 R15: program counter
5967 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5969 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5971 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5972 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5974 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5976 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5977 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5979 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5981 R0-R1: argument/return
5983 R15: temporary register for assembler
5984 R16: trampoline register
5985 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5986 R29: global pointer (GP)
5987 R30: link register (LP)
5988 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5989 PC: program counter (PC)
5991 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5993 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5994 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5999 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6000 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6002 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6003 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6004 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6005 physical memory banks.
6007 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6008 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6009 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6010 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6011 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6012 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6013 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6015 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6016 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6018 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6021 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6024 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6030 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6031 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6032 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6035 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6036 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6037 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6038 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6041 System Initialization:
6042 ----------------------
6044 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6045 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6046 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6047 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6048 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6049 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6050 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6051 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6052 the caches and the SIU.
6054 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6055 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6056 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6057 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6058 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6059 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6062 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6063 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6064 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6065 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6066 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6068 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6069 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6070 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6071 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6073 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6074 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6075 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a

6192 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6195 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6196 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6197 patch actually fixes something.
6199 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6202 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6204 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6205 information and associated file and directory references.
6207 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6208 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6210 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6211 document these in the README file.
6213 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6214 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6215 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6216 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6217 with some other mail clients.
6219 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6220 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6223 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6224 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6225 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6228 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6229 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6231 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6232 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6234 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6235 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6240 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6241 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6242 for any of the boards.
6244 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6245 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6246 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6248 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6249 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6250 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6251 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6252 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6255 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6256 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6257 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6258 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
