4 bool "Boot timing and reporting"
6 Enable recording of boot time while booting. To use it, insert
7 calls to bootstage_mark() with a suitable BOOTSTAGE_ID from
8 bootstage.h. Only a single entry is recorded for each ID. You can
9 give the entry a name with bootstage_mark_name(). You can also
10 record elapsed time in a particular stage using bootstage_start()
11 before starting and bootstage_accum() when finished. Bootstage will
12 add up all the accumulated time and report it.
14 Normally, IDs are defined in bootstage.h but a small number of
15 additional 'user' IDs can be used by passing BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC
18 Calls to show_boot_progress() will also result in log entries but
19 these will not have names.
22 bool "Boot timing and reported in SPL"
25 Enable recording of boot time in SPL. To make this visible to U-Boot
26 proper, enable BOOTSTAGE_STASH as well. This will stash the timing
27 information when SPL finishes and load it when U-Boot proper starts
30 config BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
31 bool "Display a detailed boot timing report before booting the OS"
34 Enable output of a boot time report just before the OS is booted.
35 This shows how long it took U-Boot to go through each stage of the
36 boot process. The report looks something like this:
38 Timer summary in microseconds:
41 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
42 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
43 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
44 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
45 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
46 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
47 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
49 config BOOTSTAGE_RECORD_COUNT
50 int "Number of boot stage records to store"
53 This is the size of the bootstage record list and is the maximum
54 number of bootstage records that can be recorded.
56 config SPL_BOOTSTAGE_RECORD_COUNT
57 int "Number of boot stage records to store for SPL"
60 This is the size of the bootstage record list and is the maximum
61 number of bootstage records that can be recorded.
64 bool "Store boot timing information in the OS device tree"
67 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
68 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
69 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
70 mark time in microseconds, or 'accum' containing the
71 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
76 name = "board_init_f";
85 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.
87 config BOOTSTAGE_STASH
88 bool "Stash the boot timing information in memory before booting OS"
91 Some OSes do not support device tree. Bootstage can instead write
92 the boot timing information in a binary format at a given address.
93 This happens through a call to bootstage_stash(), typically in
94 the CPU's cleanup_before_linux() function. You can use the
95 'bootstage stash' and 'bootstage unstash' commands to do this on
98 config BOOTSTAGE_STASH_ADDR
99 hex "Address to stash boot timing information"
102 Provide an address which will not be overwritten by the OS when it
103 starts, so that it can read this information when ready.
105 config BOOTSTAGE_STASH_SIZE
106 hex "Size of boot timing stash region"
109 This should be large enough to hold the bootstage stash. A value of
110 4096 (4KiB) is normally plenty.
117 bool "Support for booting from NOR flash"
120 Enabling this will make a U-Boot binary that is capable of being
121 booted via NOR. In this case we will enable certain pinmux early
122 as the ROM only partially sets up pinmux. We also default to using
126 bool "Support for booting from NAND flash"
129 Enabling this will make a U-Boot binary that is capable of being
130 booted via NAND flash. This is not a must, some SoCs need this,
134 bool "Support for booting from ONENAND"
137 Enabling this will make a U-Boot binary that is capable of being
138 booted via ONENAND. This is not a must, some SoCs need this,
142 bool "Support for booting from QSPI flash"
145 Enabling this will make a U-Boot binary that is capable of being
146 booted via QSPI flash. This is not a must, some SoCs need this,
150 bool "Support for booting from SATA"
153 Enabling this will make a U-Boot binary that is capable of being
154 booted via SATA. This is not a must, some SoCs need this,
158 bool "Support for booting from SD/EMMC"
161 Enabling this will make a U-Boot binary that is capable of being
162 booted via SD/EMMC. This is not a must, some SoCs need this,
166 bool "Support for booting from SPI flash"
169 Enabling this will make a U-Boot binary that is capable of being
170 booted via SPI flash. This is not a must, some SoCs need this,
176 int "delay in seconds before automatically booting"
180 Delay before automatically running bootcmd;
181 set to 0 to autoboot with no delay, but you can stop it by key input.
182 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
183 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
185 See doc/README.autoboot for details.
188 bool "Enable boot arguments"
190 Provide boot arguments to bootm command. Boot arguments are specified
191 in CONFIG_BOOTARGS option. Enable this option to be able to specify
192 CONFIG_BOOTARGS string. If this option is disabled, CONFIG_BOOTARGS
193 will be undefined and won't take any space in U-Boot image.
196 string "Boot arguments"
197 depends on USE_BOOTARGS
199 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm command. The value of
200 CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the environment value "bootargs". Note that
201 this value will also override the "chosen" node in FDT blob.
203 config USE_BOOTCOMMAND
204 bool "Enable a default value for bootcmd"
206 Provide a default value for the bootcmd entry in the environment. If
207 autoboot is enabled this is what will be run automatically. Enable
208 this option to be able to specify CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND as a string. If
209 this option is disabled, CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND will be undefined and
210 won't take any space in U-Boot image.
213 string "bootcmd value"
214 depends on USE_BOOTCOMMAND
215 default "run distro_bootcmd" if DISTRO_DEFAULTS
217 This is the string of commands that will be used as bootcmd and if
218 AUTOBOOT is set, automatically run.
225 This is the library functionality to provide a text-based menu of
226 choices for the user to make choices with.
228 config CONSOLE_RECORD
229 bool "Console recording"
231 This provides a way to record console output (and provide console
232 input) through circular buffers. This is mostly useful for testing.
233 Console output is recorded even when the console is silent.
234 To enable console recording, call console_record_reset_enable()
237 config CONSOLE_RECORD_OUT_SIZE
238 hex "Output buffer size"
239 depends on CONSOLE_RECORD
240 default 0x400 if CONSOLE_RECORD
242 Set the size of the console output buffer. When this fills up, no
243 more data will be recorded until some is removed. The buffer is
244 allocated immediately after the malloc() region is ready.
246 config CONSOLE_RECORD_IN_SIZE
247 hex "Input buffer size"
248 depends on CONSOLE_RECORD
249 default 0x100 if CONSOLE_RECORD
251 Set the size of the console input buffer. When this contains data,
252 tstc() and getc() will use this in preference to real device input.
253 The buffer is allocated immediately after the malloc() region is
257 string "Board specific string to be added to uboot version string"
259 This options adds the board specific name to u-boot version.
266 All Messages with a loglevel smaller than the console loglevel will
267 be compiled in. The loglevels are defined as follows:
269 0 (KERN_EMERG) system is unusable
270 1 (KERN_ALERT) action must be taken immediately
271 2 (KERN_CRIT) critical conditions
272 3 (KERN_ERR) error conditions
273 4 (KERN_WARNING) warning conditions
274 5 (KERN_NOTICE) normal but significant condition
275 6 (KERN_INFO) informational
276 7 (KERN_DEBUG) debug-level messages
282 config SILENT_CONSOLE
283 bool "Support a silent console"
285 This option allows the console to be silenced, meaning that no
286 output will appear on the console devices. This is controlled by
287 setting the environment vaariable 'silent' to a non-empty value.
288 Note this also silences the console when booting Linux.
290 When the console is set up, the variable is checked, and the
291 GD_FLG_SILENT flag is set. Changing the environment variable later
292 will update the flag.
294 config SILENT_U_BOOT_ONLY
295 bool "Only silence the U-Boot console"
296 depends on SILENT_CONSOLE
298 Normally when the U-Boot console is silenced, Linux's console is
299 also silenced (assuming the board boots into Linux). This option
300 allows the linux console to operate normally, even if U-Boot's
303 config SILENT_CONSOLE_UPDATE_ON_SET
304 bool "Changes to the 'silent' environment variable update immediately"
305 depends on SILENT_CONSOLE
306 default y if SILENT_CONSOLE
308 When the 'silent' environment variable is changed, update the
309 console silence flag immediately. This allows 'setenv' to be used
310 to silence or un-silence the console.
312 The effect is that any change to the variable will affect the
315 config SILENT_CONSOLE_UPDATE_ON_RELOC
316 bool "Allow flags to take effect on relocation"
317 depends on SILENT_CONSOLE
319 In some cases the environment is not available until relocation
320 (e.g. NAND). This option makes the value of the 'silent'
321 environment variable take effect at relocation.
323 config PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER
324 bool "Buffer characters before the console is available"
326 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
327 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
328 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
329 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
330 initialised to a buffer. The buffer is a circular buffer, so
331 if it overflows, earlier output is discarded.
333 Note that this is not currently supported in SPL. It would be
334 useful to be able to share the pre-console buffer with SPL.
336 config PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
337 int "Sets the size of the pre-console buffer"
338 depends on PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER
341 The size of the pre-console buffer affects how much console output
342 can be held before it overflows and starts discarding earlier
343 output. Normally there is very little output at this early stage,
344 unless debugging is enabled, so allow enough for ~10 lines of
347 This is a useful feature if you are using a video console and
348 want to see the full boot output on the console. Without this
349 option only the post-relocation output will be displayed.
351 config PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR
352 hex "Address of the pre-console buffer"
353 depends on PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER
354 default 0x2f000000 if ARCH_SUNXI && MACH_SUN9I
355 default 0x4f000000 if ARCH_SUNXI && !MACH_SUN9I
357 This sets the start address of the pre-console buffer. This must
358 be in available memory and is accessed before relocation and
359 possibly before DRAM is set up. Therefore choose an address
362 We should consider removing this option and allocating the memory
363 in board_init_f_init_reserve() instead.
366 bool "Enable console multiplexing"
367 default y if DM_VIDEO || VIDEO || LCD
369 This allows multiple devices to be used for each console 'file'.
370 For example, stdout can be set to go to serial and video.
371 Similarly, stdin can be set to come from serial and keyboard.
372 Input can be provided from either source. Console multiplexing
373 adds a small amount of size to U-Boot. Changes to the environment
374 variables stdout, stdin and stderr will take effect immediately.
376 config SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
377 bool "Select console devices from the environment"
378 default y if CONSOLE_MUX
380 This allows multiple input/output devices to be set at boot time.
381 For example, if stdout is set to "serial,video" then output will
382 be sent to both the serial and video devices on boot. The
383 environment variables can be updated after boot to change the
384 input/output devices.
386 config SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
387 bool "Allow board control over console overwriting"
389 If this is enabled, and the board-specific function
390 overwrite_console() returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are
391 switched to the serial port, else the settings in the environment
392 are used. If this is not enabled, the console will not be switched
395 config SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
396 bool "Update environment variables during console init"
398 The console environment variables (stdout, stdin, stderr) can be
399 used to determine the correct console devices on start-up. This
400 option writes the console devices to these variables on console
401 start-up (after relocation). This causes the environment to be
402 updated to match the console devices actually chosen.
404 config SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
405 bool "Don't display the console devices on boot"
407 Normally U-Boot displays the current settings for stdout, stdin
408 and stderr on boot when the post-relocation console is set up.
409 Enable this option to supress this output. It can be obtained by
410 calling stdio_print_current_devices() from board code.
412 config SYS_STDIO_DEREGISTER
413 bool "Allow deregistering stdio devices"
414 default y if USB_KEYBOARD
416 Generally there is no need to deregister stdio devices since they
417 are never deactivated. But if a stdio device is used which can be
418 removed (for example a USB keyboard) then this option can be
419 enabled to ensure this is handled correctly.
426 bool "Enable logging support"
428 This enables support for logging of status and debug messages. These
429 can be displayed on the console, recorded in a memory buffer, or
430 discarded if not needed. Logging supports various categories and
434 bool "Enable logging support in SPL"
436 This enables support for logging of status and debug messages. These
437 can be displayed on the console, recorded in a memory buffer, or
438 discarded if not needed. Logging supports various categories and
442 int "Maximum log level to record"
446 This selects the maximum log level that will be recorded. Any value
447 higher than this will be ignored. If possible log statements below
448 this level will be discarded at build time. Levels:
459 config SPL_LOG_MAX_LEVEL
460 int "Maximum log level to record in SPL"
464 This selects the maximum log level that will be recorded. Any value
465 higher than this will be ignored. If possible log statements below
466 this level will be discarded at build time. Levels:
478 bool "Allow log output to the console"
482 Enables a log driver which writes log records to the console.
483 Generally the console is the serial port or LCD display. Only the
484 log message is shown - other details like level, category, file and
485 line number are omitted.
487 config LOG_SPL_CONSOLE
488 bool "Allow log output to the console in SPL"
492 Enables a log driver which writes log records to the console.
493 Generally the console is the serial port or LCD display. Only the
494 log message is shown - other details like level, category, file and
495 line number are omitted.
498 bool "Provide a test for logging"
502 This enables a 'log test' command to test logging. It is normally
503 executed from a pytest and simply outputs logging information
504 in various different ways to test that the logging system works
505 correctly with varoius settings.
509 config DEFAULT_FDT_FILE
510 string "Default fdt file"
512 This option is used to set the default fdt file to boot OS.
514 config VERSION_VARIABLE
515 bool "add U-Boot environment variable vers"
518 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
519 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
520 version as printed by the "version" command.
521 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
524 config BOARD_LATE_INIT
527 Sometimes board require some initialization code that might
528 require once the actual init done, example saving board specific env,
529 boot-modes etc. which eventually done at late.
531 So this config enable the late init code with the help of board_late_init
532 function which should defined on respective boards.
534 config DISPLAY_CPUINFO
535 bool "Display information about the CPU during start up"
536 default y if ARM || NIOS2 || X86 || XTENSA || M68K
538 Display information about the CPU that U-Boot is running on
539 when U-Boot starts up. The function print_cpuinfo() is called
542 config DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
543 bool "Display information about the board during start up"
544 default y if ARM || M68K || MIPS || PPC || SANDBOX || XTENSA
546 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
547 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
550 menu "Start-up hooks"
552 config ARCH_EARLY_INIT_R
553 bool "Call arch-specific init soon after relocation"
555 With this option U-Boot will call arch_early_init_r() soon after
556 relocation. Driver model is running by this point, and the cache
557 is on. Note that board_early_init_r() is called first, if
558 enabled. This can be used to set up architecture-specific devices.
560 config ARCH_MISC_INIT
561 bool "Call arch-specific init after relocation, when console is ready"
563 With this option U-Boot will call arch_misc_init() after
564 relocation to allow miscellaneous arch-dependent initialisation
565 to be performed. This function should be defined by the board
566 and will be called after the console is set up, after relocaiton.
568 config BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F
569 bool "Call board-specific init before relocation"
571 Some boards need to perform initialisation as soon as possible
572 after boot. With this option, U-Boot calls board_early_init_f()
573 after driver model is ready in the pre-relocation init sequence.
574 Note that the normal serial console is not yet set up, but the
575 debug UART will be available if enabled.
579 menu "Security support"
582 bool # "Support hashing API (SHA1, SHA256, etc.)"
584 This provides a way to hash data in memory using various supported
585 algorithms (such as SHA1, MD5, CRC32). The API is defined in hash.h
586 and the algorithms it supports are defined in common/hash.c. See
587 also CMD_HASH for command-line access.
