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

171 Software Configuration:
172 =======================
174 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
175 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
177 There are two classes of configuration variables:
179 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
180 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
183 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
184 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
185 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
188 Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
189 symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
190 U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
191 allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
195 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
196 ---------------------------------------------------
198 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
199 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
201 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
204 make TQM823L_defconfig
206 Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
207 you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
208 doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
213 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
214 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
215 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
216 run some of U-Boot's tests.
218 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
221 Board Initialisation Flow:
222 --------------------------
224 This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
225 SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
227 Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
228 more detail later in this file.
230 At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
231 and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
232 may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
233 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
235 Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
236 CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
238 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
239 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
240 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
242 and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
243 limitations of each of these functions are described below.
246 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
247 - no global_data or BSS
248 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
249 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
250 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
252 - this is almost never needed
253 - return normally from this function
256 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
257 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
258 - global_data is available
260 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
261 only stack variables and global_data
263 Non-SPL-specific notes:
264 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
268 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
270 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
271 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
272 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
273 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
276 Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
277 this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
278 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
282 - purpose: main execution, common code
283 - global_data is available
285 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
286 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
288 Non-SPL-specific notes:
289 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
293 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
294 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
295 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
296 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
297 spl_board_init() function containing this call
298 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
302 Configuration Options:
303 ----------------------
305 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
306 such information is kept in a configuration file
307 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
309 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
310 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
313 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
314 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
315 build a config tool - later.
318 The following options need to be configured:
320 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
322 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
324 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
325 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
327 - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
328 Define exactly one of
330 --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
331 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
332 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
334 - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
335 Define exactly one of
336 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
338 - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
339 Define one or more of
342 - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
343 Define one or more of
344 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
345 the LCD display every second with
348 - Marvell Family Member
349 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
350 multiple fs option at one time
351 for marvell soc family
353 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
354 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
355 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
356 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
357 reference PIT/RTC clock
358 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
361 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
362 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
363 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
364 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
365 See doc/README.MPC866
367 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
369 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
370 of relying on the correctness of the configured
371 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
372 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
373 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
374 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
376 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
378 Define this option if you want to enable the
379 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
384 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
385 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
386 compliance, among other possible reasons.
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
390 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
391 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
392 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
396 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
397 tree nodes for the given platform.
399 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
401 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
402 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
403 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
404 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
405 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
408 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
410 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
411 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
412 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
414 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
415 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
417 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
418 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
420 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
421 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
422 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
423 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
425 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
428 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
429 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
430 required during NOR boot.
432 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
433 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
434 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
436 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
438 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
439 according to the A004510 workaround.
441 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
442 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
443 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
445 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
446 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
447 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
449 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
450 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
451 connected to the DSP core.
453 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
454 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
456 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
457 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
458 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
459 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
461 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
462 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
463 time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
466 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
467 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
469 - Generic CPU options:
470 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
471 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
472 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
473 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
474 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
476 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
478 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
479 values is arch specific.

630 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
632 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
634 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
635 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides

637 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
640 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
641 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
642 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
643 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
644 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
645 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
646 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
647 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
649 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
650 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
651 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
652 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
653 set these options unless they apply!
656 Generic timer clock source frequency.
658 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
659 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
660 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
663 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
664 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
665 specific checks, but expect no product checks.

676 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
677 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
679 - Linux Kernel Interface:
682 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
683 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
684 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
685 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
686 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
687 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
689 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
690 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
693 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
695 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
696 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
697 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
701 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
702 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
706 * New libfdt-based support
707 * Adds the "fdt" command
708 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
710 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
711 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
712 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
713 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
714 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
715 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
717 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
720 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
722 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
723 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
725 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
727 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
728 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
729 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
734 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
735 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
739 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
740 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
741 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
742 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
743 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
744 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
746 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
748 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
749 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
750 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
751 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
752 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
753 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
754 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
756 - vxWorks boot parameters:
758 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
759 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
760 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
761 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
763 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
764 the defaults discussed just above.
766 - Cache Configuration:
767 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
768 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
769 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
771 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
772 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
774 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
775 controller register space
780 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
784 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
788 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
789 the clock speed of the UARTs.
793 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
794 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
795 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
797 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
799 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
800 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
803 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
804 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
805 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
806 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
808 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
809 port routines must be defined elsewhere
810 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
813 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
814 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
815 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
817 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
820 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
821 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
822 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
824 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
825 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
826 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
827 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)

831 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
833 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
835 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
837 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
838 linux_logo.h for logo.
839 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
840 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
841 additional board info beside
844 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
845 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
846 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
848 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
849 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
850 environment 'console=serial'.
852 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
853 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
854 the "silent" environment variable. See
855 doc/README.silent for more information.
857 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
859 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
863 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
864 Select one of the baudrates listed in
865 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
866 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
868 - Console Rx buffer length
869 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
870 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
871 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
872 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
873 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
876 - Pre-Console Buffer:
877 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
878 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
879 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
880 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
881 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
882 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
883 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
884 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
885 earlier bytes are discarded.
887 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
888 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
890 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
891 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
893 - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
894 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
895 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
896 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
897 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
899 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
900 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
901 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
902 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
903 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
904 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
905 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
906 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
907 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
908 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
912 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
913 define a command string that is automatically executed
914 when no character is read on the console interface
915 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
918 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
919 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
920 environment value "bootargs".
922 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
923 The value of these goes into the environment as
924 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
925 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
929 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
930 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
932 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
935 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
936 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
937 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
938 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
939 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
940 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
941 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
942 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
947 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
948 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
949 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
950 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
951 entering interactive mode.
953 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
954 automatically generated or modified. For an example
955 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
956 modified when the user holds down a certain
957 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
960 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
962 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
963 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
964 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
965 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
966 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
967 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
969 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
971 Select one of the baudrates listed in
972 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
975 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
976 from the build by using the #include files
977 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
978 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

1098 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1100 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1101 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1102 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1103 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1104 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1105 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1106 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1107 initial stack and some data.
1110 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1112 - Regular expression support:
1114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1115 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1116 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1117 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1121 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1122 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1123 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1124 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1125 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1127 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1128 be done using one of the two options below:
1131 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1132 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1133 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1134 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1135 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1138 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1139 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1140 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1142 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1144 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1145 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1146 still use the individual files if you need something more
1151 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1152 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1153 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1154 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1155 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1156 available, then no further board specific code should
1157 be needed to use it.
1160 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1161 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1162 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1164 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1165 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1168 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1169 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1170 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1171 version as printed by the "version" command.
1172 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1177 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1178 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1181 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1182 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1183 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1184 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1185 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1186 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1187 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1188 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1189 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1190 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1191 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1192 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1193 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1196 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1197 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1200 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1202 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1203 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1204 pins supported by a particular chip.
1206 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1207 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1210 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1211 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1212 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1213 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1214 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1215 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1216 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1217 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1219 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1220 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1221 still continue to operate.
1224 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1225 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1226 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1227 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1228 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1229 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1231 - Timestamp Support:
1233 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1234 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1235 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1236 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1238 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1239 Zero or more of the following:
1240 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1241 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1242 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1243 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1244 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1245 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1247 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1249 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1250 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1251 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1254 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1255 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1257 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1258 be performed by calling the function
1259 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1260 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1265 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1270 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1271 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1272 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1273 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1275 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1276 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1280 At the moment only there is only support for the
1281 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1282 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1284 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1285 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1286 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1287 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1289 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1291 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1292 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1294 - NETWORK Support (PCI):
1296 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1299 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1300 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1301 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1303 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1304 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1305 example with the "sspi" command.
1308 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1309 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
1312 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips.
1313 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM
1314 write routine for first time initialisation.

1376 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1377 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1378 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1379 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1380 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1381 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1382 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1385 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips
1388 Define this to hold the physical address

1446 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
1450 Add tpm monitor functions.
1451 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also
1452 provides monitor access to authorized functions.
1455 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1456 functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1457 Requires support for a TPM device.
1459 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1460 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1461 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1464 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1465 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1466 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1467 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1468 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1471 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1473 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1475 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1479 for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1480 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
1481 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100
1482 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
1483 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
1484 May be defined to allow interrupt polling
1485 instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1487 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1488 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1490 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1491 HW module registers.
1494 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1495 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1496 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1497 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1498 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1499 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1500 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1501 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1502 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1504 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1505 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1506 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1507 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1510 Define this to build a UDC device
1513 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1514 talk to the UDC device
1517 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1518 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1519 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1520 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1521 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1524 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1525 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1529 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1530 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1531 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1533 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1534 Derive USB clock from brgclk
1535 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1537 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1538 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1539 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1540 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1541 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1542 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1544 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1545 Define this string as the name of your company for
1546 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1548 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1549 Define this string as the name of your product
1550 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1552 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1553 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1554 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1555 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1556 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1558 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1559 Define this as the unique Product ID
1561 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1563 - ULPI Layer Support:
1564 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1565 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1566 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1567 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1568 viewport is supported.
1569 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1570 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1571 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1572 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1573 the appropriate value in Hz.
1576 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1577 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1578 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1579 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1580 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1581 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1584 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1586 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1587 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1590 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1593 Enable the generic MMC driver
1595 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1596 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1598 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1599 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1600 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1602 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1603 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1604 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1607 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1608 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1609 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1610 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1613 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1616 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1619 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1620 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1621 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1622 one that would help mostly the developer.
1624 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1625 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1626 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1627 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1628 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1630 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1631 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1632 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1633 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1634 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1635 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1637 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1638 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1639 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1640 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1642 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1643 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1644 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1645 sending again an USB request to the device.
1647 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1648 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1649 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1652 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1653 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1654 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1655 used on Android devices.
1656 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1658 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1659 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1660 image format header.
1662 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1663 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1664 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1667 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1668 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1669 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1670 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1672 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1673 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1674 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1675 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1677 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1678 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1679 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1680 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1682 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1683 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1684 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1685 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1686 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1687 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1688 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1689 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1691 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1692 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1693 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1694 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1696 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1697 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1698 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1700 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1701 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1702 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1704 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1705 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
1706 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1707 have not defined a custom partition
1709 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1712 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1713 file in FAT formatted partition.
1715 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1716 user to write files to FAT.
1718 CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1721 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1722 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1725 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1726 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1728 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1729 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1732 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1736 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1737 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1738 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1739 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1745 Define this to enable video support (for output to
1748 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1750 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1752 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1753 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1754 video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1755 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1758 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1759 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1761 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1762 Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
1764 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1765 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1766 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
1767 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
1768 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
1769 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
1770 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1771 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1773 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1774 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1777 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1778 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1779 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1780 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1783 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1784 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1785 support, and should also define these other macros:
1791 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1792 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1794 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1796 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1797 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1798 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1799 description of this variable.
1801 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1803 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1804 display); also select one of the supported displays
1805 by defining one of these:
1809 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1811 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1813 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1815 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1817 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1818 Active, color, single scan.
1820 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1822 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1823 Active, color, single scan.
1827 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1828 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1830 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1832 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1833 Active, color, single scan.
1837 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1838 Active, color, single scan.
1842 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1844 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1848 320x240. Black & white.
1850 Normally display is black on white background; define
1851 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1853 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1855 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1856 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1857 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1858 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1859 a per-section basis.
1861 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1863 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1864 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1865 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1870 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1871 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1872 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1873 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1875 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1876 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1877 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1878 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1879 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1880 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1881 1 = 90 degree rotation
1882 2 = 180 degree rotation
1883 3 = 270 degree rotation
1885 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1886 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1890 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1894 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1895 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1897 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1899 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1900 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1901 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1902 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1903 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1904 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1905 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1906 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1908 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1910 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1911 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1912 (see README.displaying-bmps).
1913 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1914 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1915 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1916 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1917 there is no need to set this option.
1919 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1921 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1922 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1923 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1924 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1925 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1926 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1929 setenv splashpos m,m
1930 => image at center of screen
1932 setenv splashpos 30,20
1933 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1935 setenv splashpos -10,m
1936 => vertically centered image
1937 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1939 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1941 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1942 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1943 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1945 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1947 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1948 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1951 - Do compressing for memory range:
1954 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1955 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1957 - Compression support:
1960 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1964 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1965 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1966 compressed images are supported.
1968 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1969 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1974 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1977 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1978 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1981 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1983 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1984 and Literal pos bits.
1986 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1987 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1988 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1989 a very small buffer.
1991 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1992 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1993 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1997 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2003 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2005 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2007 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2011 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2012 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2014 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2016 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2017 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2018 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2019 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2021 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2023 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2024 command issued before MII status register can be read
2029 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2030 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2031 determined through e.g. bootp.
2032 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
2034 - Server IP address:
2037 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2038 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2039 (Environment variable "serverip")
2041 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2043 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2044 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2046 - Gateway IP address:
2049 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2050 default router where packets to other networks are
2052 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2057 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2058 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2059 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2060 forwarded through a router.
2061 (Environment variable "netmask")
2063 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
2066 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2067 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
2068 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
2069 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2072 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2073 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2075 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2076 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2077 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2078 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2079 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2080 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2081 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2082 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2083 following delays are inserted then:
2085 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2086 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2087 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2089 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2091 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2093 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2094 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2095 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2096 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2097 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2098 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2099 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2100 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2101 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2102 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2103 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2104 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2105 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2106 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2107 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2109 - DHCP Advanced Options:
2110 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2111 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2113 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2114 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2115 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2116 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2117 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2118 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2121 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2122 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2123 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2124 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2125 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2127 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2128 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2130 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2131 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2132 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2133 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2136 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2137 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2138 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2139 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2140 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2141 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2142 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2145 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2146 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2147 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2148 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2149 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2150 option 12 to the DHCP server.
2152 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2154 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2155 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2156 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2157 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2158 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2159 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2160 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2161 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2162 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2163 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2166 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2167 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2168 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2169 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2170 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2172 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2175 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2177 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2179 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2181 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2186 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2187 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2188 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2190 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2192 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2193 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2197 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2201 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2205 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2207 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2209 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2210 device in .1 of milliwatts.
2212 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2214 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2216 - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2218 Several configurations allow to display the current
2219 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2220 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2221 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2222 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2223 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2224 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2230 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2231 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2232 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2233 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2235 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2236 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2237 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2238 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2239 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2240 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2242 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2244 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2245 on those systems that support this (optional)
2246 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2248 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2250 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2251 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2252 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2253 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2254 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line

2396 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can

2404 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2405 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2406 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2409 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2410 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2411 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2412 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2413 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2415 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2416 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \

2418 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2419 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2420 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2421 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2422 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \

2435 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2437 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2439 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2441 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2442 provides the following compelling advantages:
2444 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2445 - approved multibus support
2446 - better i2c mux support
2448 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2450 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2451 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2452 for the selected CPU.
2454 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2455 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2456 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2457 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2458 command line interface.
2460 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2462 There are several other quantities that must also be
2463 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2465 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2466 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2467 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2468 the CPU's i2c node address).
2470 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2471 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2472 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2473 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2474 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2476 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2478 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2479 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2480 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2481 commands until the slave device responds.
2483 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2485 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2486 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2487 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2491 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2492 controller or configure ports.
2494 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2498 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2499 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2500 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2504 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2505 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2508 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2512 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2513 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2516 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2520 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2523 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2527 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2528 is false, it clears it (low).
2530 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2531 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2532 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2536 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2537 is false, it clears it (low).
2539 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2540 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2541 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2545 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2546 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2547 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2550 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2552 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2554 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2555 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2556 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2557 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2559 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2560 the generic GPIO functions.
2562 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2564 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2565 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2566 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2567 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2568 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2569 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2570 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2571 is run early in the boot sequence.
2573 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2575 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2576 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2577 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2578 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2579 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2580 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2581 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2582 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2584 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2586 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2587 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2588 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2590 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2592 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2593 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2594 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2595 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2597 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2599 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2600 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2601 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2602 a 1D array of device addresses
2605 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2606 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2608 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2610 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2611 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2613 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2615 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2617 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2618 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2620 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2622 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2623 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2625 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2627 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2628 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2630 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2632 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2633 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2634 specified DTT device.
2636 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2638 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2639 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2640 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2641 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2642 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2643 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2646 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2648 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2649 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2650 D/As on the SACSng board)
2654 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2655 only SH7757 is supported.
2659 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2660 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2661 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2662 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2663 defined, the board configuration must define several
2664 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2665 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2669 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2670 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2671 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2672 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2673 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2677 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2678 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2680 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2681 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2682 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2684 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2686 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2688 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2690 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2693 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2695 Enables support for FPGA family.
2696 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2700 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2702 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2704 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2706 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2708 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2710 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2712 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2715 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2717 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2719 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2721 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2722 status by the configuration function. This option
2723 will require a board or device specific function to
2728 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2729 configuration driver.
2731 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2732 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2734 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2736 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2737 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2738 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2739 indicated a CRC error).
2741 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2743 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2744 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2745 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2748 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2750 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2751 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2753 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2755 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2758 - Configuration Management:
2761 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2762 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2763 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2764 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2769 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2770 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2772 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2774 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2775 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2776 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2777 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2778 protects these variables from casual modification by
2779 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2780 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2781 change this behaviour:
2783 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2784 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2785 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2788 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2789 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2790 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2791 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2792 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2795 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2796 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2797 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2798 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2803 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2804 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2805 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2806 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2807 this default value by defining an environment
2808 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2809 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2810 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2811 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2812 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2813 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2814 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2816 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2819 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2820 either, which results in a memory region that will
2821 not be affected by reboots.
2823 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2824 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2825 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2826 following board configurations are known to be
2829 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2830 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2833 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2834 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2835 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2836 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2837 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2838 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2839 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2844 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2845 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2846 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2847 system where you want the system to reboot
2848 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2849 useful during development since you can try to debug
2850 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2852 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2854 This variable defines the number of retries for
2855 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2856 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2857 default value of 5 is used.
2861 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2865 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2866 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2867 try longer timeout such as
2868 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2870 - Command Interpreter:
2871 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2873 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2875 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2877 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2878 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2879 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2883 In the current implementation, the local variables
2884 space and global environment variables space are
2885 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2886 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2887 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2888 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2889 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2891 Global environment variables are those you use
2892 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2893 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2894 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2896 To store commands and special characters in a
2897 variable, please use double quotation marks
2898 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2899 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2902 - Command Line Editing and History:
2903 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2905 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2906 command line input operations
2908 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2909 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2911 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2912 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2913 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2916 - Default Environment:
2917 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2919 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2920 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2921 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2923 For example, place something like this in your
2924 board's config file:
2926 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2930 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2931 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2932 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2933 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2934 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2935 You better know what you are doing here.
2937 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2938 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2939 the environment like the "source" command or the
2942 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2944 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2945 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2946 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2948 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2956 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2958 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2959 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2960 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2962 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2964 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2965 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2966 that so that the environment is not available until
2967 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2968 this is instead controlled by the value of
2969 /config/load-environment.
2971 - Parallel Flash support:
2974 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2975 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2976 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2979 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2980 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2981 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2982 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2984 - DataFlash Support:
2985 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2987 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2988 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2991 - Serial Flash support
2994 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2995 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2997 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2998 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3001 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3002 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3003 flash is present on the system.
3005 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3006 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3007 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3008 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3012 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3015 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3017 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3018 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3019 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3021 - SystemACE Support:
3024 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3025 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3026 of the chip must also be defined in the
3027 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3029 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3030 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3032 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3033 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3035 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3038 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3039 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3040 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3041 number generator is used.
3043 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3044 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3045 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3047 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3048 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3049 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3050 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3051 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3052 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3053 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3058 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3059 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3063 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3066 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3067 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3068 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3069 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3070 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3071 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3072 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3073 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3074 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3075 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3076 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3077 is performed in hardware.
3079 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3080 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3082 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3083 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3084 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3085 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3088 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3089 a boot from specific media.
3091 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3092 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3093 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3094 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3095 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3100 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3101 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3103 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3104 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3105 library to function.
3107 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3108 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3109 mkimage irrespective of this option.
3111 - bootcount support:
3112 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3114 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3115 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3118 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3120 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3122 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3123 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3124 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3125 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3126 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3127 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3128 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3130 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3132 - Show boot progress:
3133 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3135 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3136 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3137 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3138 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3139 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3140 the following checkpoints are implemented:
3143 Legacy uImage format:

3296 - legacy image format:
3297 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3298 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3301 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3303 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3304 disable the legacy image format
3306 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3307 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3309 - FIT image support:
3311 Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3313 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3314 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3315 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3316 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3317 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3318 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3320 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3321 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3322 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3323 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3324 hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.
3325 See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3327 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3328 signature check the legacy image format is default
3329 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3330 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3332 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3333 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3334 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3337 - Standalone program support:
3338 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3340 This option defines a board specific value for the
3341 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3342 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3345 - Frame Buffer Address:
3348 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3349 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3350 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3351 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3352 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3353 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3354 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3355 configured panel size.
3357 Please see board_init_f function.
3359 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3361 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3362 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3364 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3365 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3367 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3370 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3371 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3373 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3375 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3376 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3381 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3382 with the UBI flash translation layer
3384 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3386 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3388 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3389 warnings and errors enabled.
3392 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3393 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3394 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3395 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3396 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3397 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3399 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3400 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3401 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3402 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3403 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3407 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3408 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3409 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3410 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3411 flash), this value is ignored.
3413 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3414 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3415 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3416 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3417 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3418 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3420 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3421 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3422 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3423 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3424 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3425 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3426 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3431 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3432 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3433 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3434 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3435 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3436 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3437 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3438 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3439 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3440 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3441 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3442 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3444 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3445 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3449 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3450 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3456 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3457 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3459 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3461 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3463 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3464 warnings and errors enabled.
3468 Enable building of SPL globally.
3471 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3473 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3474 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3475 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3476 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3477 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3478 must not be both defined at the same time.
3481 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3482 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3483 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3486 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3487 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3489 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3490 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3491 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3493 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3494 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3496 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3497 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3498 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3499 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3500 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3501 must not be both defined at the same time.
3504 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3506 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3507 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3508 loaded does not have a signature.
3509 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3510 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3512 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3513 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3514 and thus should be skipped silently.
3516 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3517 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3518 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3521 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3522 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3523 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3524 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3525 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3527 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3528 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3530 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3531 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3532 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3533 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3536 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.

3599 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3601 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3602 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3603 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3604 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3605 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3607 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3608 Avoid SPL relocation
3610 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3611 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3612 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.

3692 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3695 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3696 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3697 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3698 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3699 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3702 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3703 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3704 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3706 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3707 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3708 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3709 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3710 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3714 Enable building of TPL globally.
3717 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3718 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as

3720 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3721 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3726 [so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3728 - Modem support enable:
3729 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3731 - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3734 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3736 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3737 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3738 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3739 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3740 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3741 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3742 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3743 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3744 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3745 general timer_interrupt().
3749 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3750 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3751 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3752 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3753 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3754 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3757 If there are no modem init strings in the
3758 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3759 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3762 See also: doc/README.Modem
3764 Board initialization settings:
3765 ------------------------------
3767 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3768 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3769 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3770 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3771 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3772 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3774 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3775 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3776 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3777 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3779 Configuration Settings:
3780 -----------------------
3782 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3783 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3785 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3786 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3788 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3789 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3791 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3792 prompt for user input.
3794 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3796 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3798 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3800 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3801 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3804 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3805 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3807 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3808 Suppress display of console information at boot.
3810 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3811 If the board specific function
3812 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3813 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3814 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3816 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3817 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3819 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3820 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3822 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3823 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3826 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3827 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3829 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3830 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3831 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3833 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3834 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3835 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3836 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3837 gd->secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3838 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3839 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3841 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3842 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3843 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3844 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3845 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3846 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3847 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3848 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3849 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3850 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3852 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3853 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3856 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3857 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3858 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3859 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3862 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3863 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3865 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3866 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3868 - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3869 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3872 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3873 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3875 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3876 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3877 make config files to be same as the text base address
3878 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3879 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3881 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3882 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3883 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3884 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3887 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3888 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3890 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3891 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3892 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3893 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3894 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3897 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3898 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3899 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3900 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3901 U-Boot relocates itself.
3903 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3904 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3906 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3907 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3908 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3909 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3911 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3912 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3913 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3914 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3915 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3916 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3917 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3918 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3919 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3920 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3921 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3922 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3923 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3924 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3925 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3926 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3928 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3930 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3931 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3932 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3933 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3934 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3936 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3937 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3938 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3939 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3940 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3941 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3942 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3943 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3944 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3945 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3946 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3948 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3949 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3950 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3953 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3954 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3955 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3957 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3958 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3959 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3961 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3962 Max number of Flash memory banks
3964 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3965 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3967 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3968 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3970 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3971 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3973 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3974 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3976 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3977 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3979 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3980 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3981 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3983 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3985 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3986 without this option such a download has to be
3987 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3988 copy from RAM to flash.
3990 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3991 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3992 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3993 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3994 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3996 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3997 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3998 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4000 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
4001 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4002 in the drivers directory
4004 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4005 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4006 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4009 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
4010 Use buffered writes to flash.
4012 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4013 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4016 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
4017 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4018 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4019 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4020 optionally available.
4022 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4023 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4024 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4025 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4027 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4028 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4029 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4030 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4031 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4032 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4033 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4034 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4036 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
4037 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4038 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
4039 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4040 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
4041 on high Ethernet traffic.
4042 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4044 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4046 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4047 internally to store the environment settings. The default
4048 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4049 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4050 lib/hashtable.c for details.
4052 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4053 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4054 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4055 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4056 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4057 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4059 The format of the list is:
4060 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4061 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
4062 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
4063 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4066 The type attributes are:
4067 s - String (default)
4070 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4074 The access attributes are:
4080 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4081 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4082 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4084 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4085 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4086 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4087 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4088 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4091 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4092 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
4093 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
4095 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4096 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4099 - CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4100 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4101 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4102 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4103 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4104 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4105 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4106 If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4107 the problem and send patches!
4109 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4110 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4111 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4112 the value can be calculated on a given board.
4115 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4116 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4117 building U-Boot to enable this.
4119 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4120 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4121 following configurations:
4123 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4125 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4126 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4128 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4130 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4132 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4133 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4134 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4135 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4136 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4137 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4138 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4139 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4140 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4141 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4142 between U-Boot and the environment.
4144 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4146 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4147 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4148 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4149 for this sector is given here.
4151 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4155 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4156 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4161 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4164 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4165 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4170 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4171 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4172 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4173 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4175 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4176 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4177 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4178 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4179 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4180 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4181 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4182 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4183 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4185 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4186 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4188 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4189 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4190 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4191 a "saveenv" operation.
4193 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4194 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4198 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4200 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4201 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4207 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4208 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4209 can just be read and written to, without any special
4212 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4213 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4214 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4217 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4218 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4219 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4220 to save the current settings.
4223 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4225 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4226 device and a driver for it.
4228 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4231 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4232 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4234 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4235 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4236 The default address is zero.
4238 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4239 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4241 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4242 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4243 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4244 would require six bits.
4246 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4247 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4248 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4250 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4251 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4252 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4254 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4255 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4256 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4257 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4258 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4261 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4262 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4263 in the chip address.
4265 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4266 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4268 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4269 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4270 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4272 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4273 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4274 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4275 EEPROM. For example:
4277 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4279 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4280 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4282 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4284 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4285 want to use for the environment.
4287 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4291 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4292 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4293 at the specified address.
4295 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4297 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4298 want to use for the environment.
4300 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4303 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4304 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4305 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4307 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4309 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4311 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4313 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4314 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4315 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4316 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4317 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4319 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4320 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4322 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4324 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4326 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4328 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4330 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4332 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4334 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4335 want to use for the local device's environment.
4340 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4341 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4342 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4343 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4345 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4346 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4347 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4348 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4350 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4352 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4353 for the environment.
4355 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4358 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4359 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4360 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4362 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4364 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4365 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4366 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4367 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4368 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4370 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4372 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4373 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4374 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4375 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4376 the range to be avoided.
4378 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4380 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4381 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4382 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4383 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4384 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4386 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4388 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4389 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4390 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4392 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4394 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4395 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4396 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4398 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4400 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4402 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4404 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4407 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4409 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4410 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4411 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4413 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4414 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4416 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4417 when storing the env in UBI.
4419 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4420 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4422 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4424 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4426 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4428 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4431 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4432 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4435 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4436 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4438 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4439 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4440 partition table then means device D.
4444 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4448 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4450 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4452 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4455 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4457 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4459 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4461 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4462 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4463 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4465 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4468 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4469 area within the specified MMC device.
4471 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4472 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4473 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4474 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4475 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4476 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4477 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4479 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4480 MMC sector boundary.
4482 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4484 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4485 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4486 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4487 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4489 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4490 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4492 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4493 an MMC sector boundary.
4495 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4497 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4498 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4501 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4503 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4504 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4505 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4506 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4507 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4508 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4509 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4511 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4512 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4513 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4514 until then to read environment variables.
4516 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4517 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4518 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4519 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4520 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4521 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4523 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4524 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4525 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4527 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4528 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4530 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4531 also needs to be defined.
4533 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4534 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4536 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4537 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4538 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4539 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4540 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4541 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4543 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4544 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4545 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4548 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4549 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4550 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4553 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4554 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4555 build system checks that the actual size does not
4558 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4559 ---------------------------------------------------
4561 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4562 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4564 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4565 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4567 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4568 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4569 the IMMR register after a reset.
4571 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4572 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4575 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4576 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4577 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4579 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4580 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4582 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4583 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4584 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4585 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4586 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4587 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4588 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4590 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4591 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4593 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4594 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4595 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4596 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4597 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4599 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4600 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4601 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4602 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4604 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4605 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4606 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4608 - Floppy Disk Support:
4609 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4611 the default drive number (default value 0)
4613 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4615 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4618 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4620 defines the offset of register from address. It
4621 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4622 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4624 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4625 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4628 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4629 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4630 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4631 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4635 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4636 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4637 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4638 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4639 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4642 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4643 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4644 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4646 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4648 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4649 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4650 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4651 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4652 will become available only after programming the
4653 memory controller and running certain initialization
4656 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4657 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4658 - MPC824X: data cache
4659 - PPC4xx: data cache
4661 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4663 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4664 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4665 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4666 data is located at the end of the available space
4667 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4668 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4669 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4670 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4673 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4674 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4675 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4676 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4677 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4728 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4729 wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4730 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4732 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)

4746 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4748 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4749 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4752 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4753 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4754 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4755 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4756 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4757 by coreboot or similar.
4759 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4760 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4763 Chip has SRIO or not

4783 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4784 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4786 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4787 Example of drivers that use it:
4788 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4789 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4791 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4792 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4793 a default value will be used.
4796 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4797 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4800 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4802 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4803 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4804 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4805 to something your driver can deal with.
4807 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4808 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4809 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4810 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4811 header files or board specific files.
4813 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4814 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4816 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4817 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4819 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4820 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4822 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4823 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4824 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4826 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4827 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4829 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4830 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4831 to the given FEC; i. e.
4832 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4833 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4835 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4837 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4838 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4839 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4842 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4843 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4844 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4846 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4847 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4850 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4852 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4853 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4857 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4858 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4861 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4866 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4868 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4869 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4871 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4872 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4874 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4875 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4876 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4877 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4878 relocate itself into RAM.
4880 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4881 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4882 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4883 these initializations itself.
4886 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4887 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4888 compiling a NAND SPL.
4891 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4892 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4893 It is loaded by the SPL.
4895 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4896 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4897 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4898 previous 4k of the .text section.
4900 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4901 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4902 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4903 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4904 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4905 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4906 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4907 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4909 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4910 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4911 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4912 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4913 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4915 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4916 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4917 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4920 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4922 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4924 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4925 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4927 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4928 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4929 driver that uses this:
4930 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4932 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4933 -----------------------------------
4935 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4936 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4937 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4938 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4941 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4942 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4943 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4946 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4947 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4948 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4951 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4952 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4953 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4954 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4955 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4957 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4958 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4959 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4960 virtual address in NOR flash.
4962 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4963 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4964 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4966 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4967 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4968 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4970 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4971 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4972 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4974 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4975 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4976 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4977 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4978 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4979 master's memory space.
4981 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4982 ---------------------------------------------------------
4983 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4985 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4986 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4989 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4990 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4992 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4993 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4994 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4997 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4998 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4999 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5000 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5001 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5003 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5004 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5005 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5006 virtual address in NOR flash.
5008 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
5009 -------------------------------------------
5010 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
5011 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
5012 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
5014 - CONFIG_FSL_DEBUG_SERVER
5015 Enable the Debug Server for Layerscape SoCs.
5017 - CONFIG_SYS_DEBUG_SERVER_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE
5018 Define minimum DDR size required for debug server image
5020 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
5021 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
5026 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
5027 process have to be set to a fixed value.
5029 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
5030 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
5031 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
5033 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
5035 Building the Software:
5036 ======================
5038 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5039 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5040 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5041 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5042 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5043 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5045 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5046 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5047 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5048 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5049 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5051 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5052 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
5054 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5055 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5056 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5057 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5059 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5061 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5062 be executed on computers running Windows.
5064 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5065 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5070 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5071 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5073 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5074 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5075 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5076 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5077 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5079 make TQM823L_defconfig
5080 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5082 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5083 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5088 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5089 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5091 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5092 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5093 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5095 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5096 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5097 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5099 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5101 make O=/tmp/build distclean
5102 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5103 make O=/tmp/build all
5105 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5107 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5112 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5116 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5117 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5121 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5122 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5125 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5126 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5127 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
5128 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5130 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5131 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
5132 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
5133 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5134 to be installed on your target system.
5135 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5136 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5139 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5140 ==============================================================
5142 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5143 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5144 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5145 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5146 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5148 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5149 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5150 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5151 just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5152 for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5153 select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5154 environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5157 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5159 or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5161 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5163 When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5164 U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5165 setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5166 built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5167 <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5168 location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5169 variable. For example:
5171 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5172 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5173 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5175 With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5176 log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5177 during the whole build process.
5180 See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

5240 Environment Variables:
5241 ======================
5243 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5244 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5246 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5247 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5248 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5249 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5250 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5251 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5253 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5255 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5257 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5259 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5261 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5263 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5265 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
5267 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5268 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5269 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5270 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5271 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5272 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5273 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5276 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5277 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5278 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5279 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5280 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5281 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5284 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5285 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5286 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5287 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5288 environment variable.
5290 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5291 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5292 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5294 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5295 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5296 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5297 load any image using TFTP
5299 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5300 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5301 be automatically started (by internally calling
5304 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5305 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5306 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5307 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5310 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5311 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5312 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5313 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5314 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5315 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5316 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5317 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5318 access it during the boot procedure.
5320 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5321 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5322 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5323 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5324 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5325 must be accessible by the kernel.
5327 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5328 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5331 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5332 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5333 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5334 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5335 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5337 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5338 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5339 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5340 is usually what you want since it allows for
5341 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5342 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5343 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5344 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5345 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5346 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5347 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5349 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5350 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5351 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5352 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5353 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5354 12 MB as well - this can be done with
5356 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5358 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5359 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5360 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5361 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5362 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5363 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5364 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5366 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5368 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5369 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5371 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5373 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5375 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5377 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5379 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5381 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
5383 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5384 For example you can do the following
5386 => setenv ethact FEC
5387 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5388 => setenv ethact SCC
5389 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5391 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5392 available network interfaces.
5393 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5395 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5396 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5397 When set to "once" the network operation will
5398 fail when all the available network interfaces
5399 are tried once without success.
5400 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5403 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5405 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5406 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5407 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5408 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5411 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5414 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5415 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5417 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5418 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5420 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5421 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5422 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5423 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5424 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5425 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5426 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5428 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5429 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5430 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5431 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5432 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5433 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5434 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5436 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5437 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5440 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5441 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5442 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5443 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5444 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5445 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5446 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5448 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5449 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5450 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5452 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5453 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5454 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5455 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5456 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5457 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5459 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5460 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5461 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5463 bootfile - see above
5464 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5465 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5466 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5467 hostname - Target hostname
5469 netmask - Subnet Mask
5470 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5471 serverip - see above
5474 There are two special Environment Variables:
5476 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5477 as type string and/or serial number
5478 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5480 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5481 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5482 once they have been set once.
5485 Further special Environment Variables:
5487 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5488 with the "version" command. This variable is
5489 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5492 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5493 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5496 Callback functions for environment variables:
5497 ---------------------------------------------
5499 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5500 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
5501 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5502 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5503 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5505 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5506 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5508 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5509 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5510 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5511 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5513 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5516 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5517 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5519 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5520 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5521 override any association in the static list. You can define
5522 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5523 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5525 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5526 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5527 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5530 Command Line Parsing:
5531 =====================
5533 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5534 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5536 Old, simple command line parser:
5537 --------------------------------
5539 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5540 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5541 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5542 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5544 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5545 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5546 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5551 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5552 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5553 until...do...done, ...
5554 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5555 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5556 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5562 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5563 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5564 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5567 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5568 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5569 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5570 variables are not executed.
5572 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5573 =======================================
5575 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5576 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5577 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5579 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5580 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5581 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5583 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5584 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5585 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5586 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5588 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5589 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5591 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5592 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5595 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5596 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5598 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5599 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5602 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5603 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5604 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5606 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5607 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5608 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5609 The naming convention is as follows:
5610 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5615 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5616 images in two formats:
5618 New uImage format (FIT)
5619 -----------------------
5621 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5622 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5623 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5624 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5630 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5631 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5632 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5634 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5635 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5636 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5637 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5639 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5640 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5641 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5642 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5648 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5649 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5656 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5657 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5660 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5661 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5662 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5663 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5664 serves several purposes:
5666 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5667 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5668 Flash memory footprint)
5670 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5671 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5673 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5674 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5675 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5676 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5677 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5678 software is easier now.
5684 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5685 ---------------------------------------
5687 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5688 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5689 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5692 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5694 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5695 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5696 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5697 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5698 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5700 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5701 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5702 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5706 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5707 -----------------------------
5709 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5710 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5713 Building a Linux Image:
5714 -----------------------
5716 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5717 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5718 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5719 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5720 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5721 100% compatible format.
5725 make TQM850L_defconfig
5730 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5731 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5732 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5734 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5736 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5738 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5739 -R .note -R .comment \
5740 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5742 * compress the binary image:
5746 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5748 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5749 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5750 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5753 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5754 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5755 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5756 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5757 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5758 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5760 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5761 print the header information, or to build new images.
5763 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5764 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5765 checksum verification:
5767 tools/mkimage -l image
5768 -l ==> list image header information
5770 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5771 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5773 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5774 -n name -d data_file image
5775 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5776 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5777 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5778 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5779 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5780 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5781 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5782 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5784 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5785 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5788 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5789 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5791 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5793 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5794 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5795 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5796 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5797 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5798 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5799 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5800 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5801 Load Address: 0x00000000
5802 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5804 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5806 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5807 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5808 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5809 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5810 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5811 Load Address: 0x00000000
5812 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5814 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5815 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5816 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5817 need to be uncompressed:
5819 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5820 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5821 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5822 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5823 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5824 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5825 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5826 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5827 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5828 Load Address: 0x00000000
5829 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5832 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5833 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5835 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5836 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5837 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5838 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5839 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5840 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5841 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5842 Load Address: 0x00000000
5843 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5845 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5846 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5847 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5850 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5851 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5852 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5853 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5856 Installing a Linux Image:
5857 -------------------------
5859 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5860 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5862 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5864 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5865 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5866 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5867 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5870 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5871 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5873 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5879 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5886 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5889 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5890 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5891 corruption happened:

5907 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5908 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5909 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5910 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5911 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5914 => printenv bootargs
5915 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5917 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6036 More About U-Boot Image Types:
6037 ------------------------------
6039 U-Boot supports the following image types:
6041 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6042 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6043 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6044 the Standalone Program.
6045 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6046 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6047 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6048 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6049 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6050 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6051 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6053 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6054 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6055 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6056 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6057 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6058 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6060 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6061 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6062 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6063 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6064 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6065 a multiple of 4 bytes).
6067 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6068 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6071 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6072 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6073 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6074 as command interpreter.
6076 Booting the Linux zImage:
6077 -------------------------
6079 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6080 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6081 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6083 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6084 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6085 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6086 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6092 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6093 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6094 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6096 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6101 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6102 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6103 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6107 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

6130 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6131 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6132 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6133 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6134 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6135 controlled by the following keys:
6137 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6138 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6139 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6140 q - quit application

6180 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6181 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6182 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6183 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and

6201 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6202 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6204 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6205 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6206 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6207 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6208 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6209 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6211 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6213 # ln -s powerpc machine
6214 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6215 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6217 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6218 and U-Boot include files.
6220 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6221 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6222 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6223 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6224 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6227 Implementation Internals:
6228 =========================
6230 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6231 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6232 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6236 Initial Stack, Global Data:
6237 ---------------------------
6239 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6240 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6241 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6242 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6243 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6244 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6245 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6246 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6247 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6248 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6250 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6251 U-Boot mailing list:
6253 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6254 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6255 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6258 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6259 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6260 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6261 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6262 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6263 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6264 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6265 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6267 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6268 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6269 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6270 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6271 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6272 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6275 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6276 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6277 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6278 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6279 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6280 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6281 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6282 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6283 you get the config right.
6288 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6289 code for the initialization procedures:
6291 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6294 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6295 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6296 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6298 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6301 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6302 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6303 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6304 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6305 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6306 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6307 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6308 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6309 reserve for this purpose.
6311 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6312 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6313 GCC's implementation.
6315 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6317 R2: reserved for system use
6318 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6319 R5-R10: parameter passing
6320 R13: small data area pointer
6324 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6325 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6326 going back and forth between asm and C)
6328 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6330 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6331 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6332 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6333 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6334 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6335 624 text + 127 data).
6337 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6338 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6340 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6342 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6344 R0: function argument word/integer result
6345 R1-R3: function argument word
6346 R9: platform specific
6347 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6348 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6349 R12: temporary workspace
6352 R15: program counter
6354 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6356 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6358 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6359 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6361 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6363 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6364 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6366 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6368 R0-R1: argument/return
6370 R15: temporary register for assembler
6371 R16: trampoline register
6372 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6373 R29: global pointer (GP)
6374 R30: link register (LP)
6375 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6376 PC: program counter (PC)
6378 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6380 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6381 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6386 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6387 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6389 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6390 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6391 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6392 physical memory banks.
6394 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6395 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6396 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6397 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6398 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6399 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6400 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6402 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6403 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6405 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6408 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6411 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6417 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6418 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6419 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6422 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6423 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6424 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6425 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6428 System Initialization:
6429 ----------------------
6431 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6432 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6433 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6434 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6435 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6436 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6437 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6438 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6439 the caches and the SIU.
6441 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6442 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6443 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6444 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6445 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6446 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6449 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6450 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6451 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6452 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6453 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6455 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6456 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6457 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6458 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6460 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6461 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6462 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a

6570 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6571 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6572 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6574 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6576 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6577 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6579 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6582 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6583 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6584 patch actually fixes something.
6586 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6589 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6591 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6592 information and associated file and directory references.
6594 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6595 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6597 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6598 document these in the README file.
6600 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6601 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6602 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6603 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6604 with some other mail clients.
