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 and CREDITS files to find out
38 who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
41 Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
42 it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:
50 In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for
51 U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at

227 Software Configuration:
228 =======================
230 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
233 There are two classes of configuration variables:
235 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
239 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
244 Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245 identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246 do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247 links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
251 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252 ---------------------------------------------------
254 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
255 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
257 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
260 make TQM823L_defconfig
262 For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
263 e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
264 directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
270 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273 run some of U-Boot's tests.
275 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
278 Configuration Options:
279 ----------------------
281 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282 such information is kept in a configuration file
283 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
285 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
289 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291 build a config tool - later.
294 The following options need to be configured:
296 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
298 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
300 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
301 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
303 - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
304 Define exactly one of
306 --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
307 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
308 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
310 - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
311 Define exactly one of
312 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
314 - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
315 Define one or more of
318 - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
319 Define one or more of
320 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
321 the LCD display every second with
324 - Marvell Family Member
325 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
326 multiple fs option at one time
327 for marvell soc family
329 - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
330 Define exactly one of
331 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
333 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
337 reference PIT/RTC clock
338 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
341 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
342 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
343 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
344 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
345 See doc/README.MPC866
347 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350 of relying on the correctness of the configured
351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
356 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
358 Define this option if you want to enable the
359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366 compliance, among other possible reasons.
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
377 tree nodes for the given platform.
379 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
408 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
409 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
410 requred during NOR boot.
412 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
414 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
415 according to the A004510 workaround.
417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
418 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
419 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
421 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
422 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
423 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
426 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
427 connected to the DSP core.
429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
430 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
432 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
433 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
434 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
435 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
437 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
438 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
439 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
442 Inidcates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
443 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
445 - Generic CPU options:
446 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
447 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
448 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
449 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
450 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
452 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
454 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
455 values is arch specific.
458 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is

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

591 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
593 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
595 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
596 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
597 be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
600 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
602 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
603 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
605 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
607 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
608 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
609 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
610 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
613 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
614 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
615 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
616 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
617 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
618 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
620 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
621 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
622 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
623 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
624 set these options unless they apply!
626 - Linux Kernel Interface:
629 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
630 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
631 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
632 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
633 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
634 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
636 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
637 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
640 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
642 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
643 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
644 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
648 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
649 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
653 * New libfdt-based support
654 * Adds the "fdt" command
655 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
657 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
658 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
659 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
660 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
661 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
662 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
664 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
667 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
669 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
670 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
674 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
675 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
679 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
680 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
681 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
682 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
683 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
684 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
686 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
688 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
689 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
690 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
691 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
692 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
693 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
694 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
696 - vxWorks boot parameters:
698 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
699 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
700 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
702 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
703 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
704 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
705 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
707 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
709 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
711 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
712 the defaults discussed just above.
714 - Cache Configuration:
715 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
716 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
717 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
719 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
720 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
722 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
723 controller register space
728 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
732 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
737 the clock speed of the UARTs.
741 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
742 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
743 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
745 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
747 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
748 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
749 this variable to initialize the extra register.
751 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
753 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
754 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
755 variable to flush the UART at init time.
757 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
759 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
760 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
763 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
764 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
765 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
766 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
768 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
769 port routines must be defined elsewhere
770 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
773 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
774 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
775 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation

780 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
781 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)

802 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
804 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
805 linux_logo.h for logo.
806 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
807 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
808 additional board info beside
811 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
812 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
813 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
815 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
816 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
817 environment 'console=serial'.
819 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
820 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
821 the "silent" environment variable. See
822 doc/README.silent for more information.
824 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
826 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
830 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
831 Select one of the baudrates listed in
832 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
833 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
835 - Console Rx buffer length
836 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
837 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
838 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
839 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
840 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
843 - Pre-Console Buffer:
844 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
845 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
846 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
847 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
848 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
849 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
850 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
851 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
852 earlier bytes are discarded.
854 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
855 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
857 - Safe printf() functions
858 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
859 the printf() functions. These are defined in
860 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
861 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
862 If this option is not given then these functions will
863 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
864 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
866 - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
867 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
868 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
869 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
870 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
872 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
873 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
874 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
875 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
877 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
878 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
879 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
880 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
881 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
882 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
883 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
887 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
888 define a command string that is automatically executed
889 when no character is read on the console interface
890 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
893 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
894 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
895 environment value "bootargs".
897 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
898 The value of these goes into the environment as
899 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
900 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
905 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
907 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
910 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
911 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
912 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
913 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
914 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
915 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
916 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
917 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
922 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
923 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
924 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
925 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
926 entering interactive mode.
928 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
929 automatically generated or modified. For an example
930 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
931 modified when the user holds down a certain
932 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
935 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
937 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
938 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
939 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
940 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
941 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
942 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
944 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
946 Select one of the baudrates listed in
947 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
950 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
951 from the build by using the #include files
952 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
953 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
954 and augmenting with additional #define's
957 The default command configuration includes all commands

1070 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1071 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1074 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1076 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1077 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1078 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1079 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1080 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1081 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1082 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1083 initial stack and some data.
1086 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1088 - Regular expression support:
1090 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1091 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1092 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1093 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1097 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1098 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1099 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1100 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1101 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1103 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1104 be done using one of the two options below:
1107 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1108 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1109 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1110 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1111 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1115 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1116 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1118 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1120 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1121 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1122 still use the individual files if you need something more
1127 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1128 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1129 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1130 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1131 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1132 available, then no further board specific code should
1133 be needed to use it.
1136 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1137 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1138 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1141 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1142 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1143 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1144 version as printed by the "version" command.
1145 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1150 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1151 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1154 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1155 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1156 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1157 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1158 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1159 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1160 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1161 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1162 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1163 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1164 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1165 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1166 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1169 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1170 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1173 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1175 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1176 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1177 pins supported by a particular chip.
1179 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1180 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1183 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1184 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1185 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1186 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1187 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1188 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1189 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1190 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1192 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1193 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1194 still continue to operate.
1197 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1198 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1199 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1200 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1201 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1202 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1204 - Timestamp Support:
1206 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1207 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1208 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1209 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1211 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1212 Zero or more of the following:
1213 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1214 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1215 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1216 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1217 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1218 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1220 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1222 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1223 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1224 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1227 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1228 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1230 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1231 be performed by calling the function
1232 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1233 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1238 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1243 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1244 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1245 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1246 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1248 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1249 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1253 At the moment only there is only support for the
1254 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1255 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1257 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1258 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1259 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1260 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1262 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1264 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1265 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1267 - NETWORK Support (PCI):
1269 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1272 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1273 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1274 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1276 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1277 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1278 example with the "sspi" command.
1281 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1282 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
1284 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC
1285 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production.
1288 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips.
1289 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM

1353 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1354 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1355 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1356 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1357 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1358 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1361 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips
1364 Define this to hold the physical address
1365 of the device (I/O space)

1427 functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1428 Requires support for a TPM device.
1430 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1431 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1432 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1435 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1436 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1437 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1438 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1439 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1442 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1444 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1446 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb

1459 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1461 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1462 HW module registers.
1465 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1466 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1467 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1468 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1469 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1470 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1471 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1472 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1473 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1475 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1476 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1477 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1478 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1481 Define this to build a UDC device
1484 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1485 talk to the UDC device
1488 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1489 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1490 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1491 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1492 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1495 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1496 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1500 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1501 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1502 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1504 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1505 Derive USB clock from brgclk
1506 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1508 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1509 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1510 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1511 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1512 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1513 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1515 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1516 Define this string as the name of your company for
1517 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1519 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1520 Define this string as the name of your product
1521 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1523 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1524 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1525 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1526 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1527 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1529 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1530 Define this as the unique Product ID
1532 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1534 - ULPI Layer Support:
1535 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1536 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1537 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1538 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1539 viewport is supported.
1540 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1541 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1542 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1543 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1544 the appropriate value in Hz.
1547 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1548 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1549 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1550 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1551 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1552 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1555 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1557 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1558 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1561 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1564 Enable the generic MMC driver
1566 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1567 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1569 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1570 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1571 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1573 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1575 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1578 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1579 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1580 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1581 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1584 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1587 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1590 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1591 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1592 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1593 one that would help mostly the developer.
1595 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1596 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1597 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1598 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1599 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1601 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1602 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1603 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1604 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1605 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1606 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1608 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1609 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1610 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1611 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1613 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1614 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1615 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1616 sending again an USB request to the device.
1618 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1620 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1621 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1622 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1623 used on Android devices.
1624 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1626 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1627 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1628 image format header.
1630 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1631 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1632 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1635 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1636 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1637 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1638 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1640 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1641 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1642 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1643 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1645 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1646 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1647 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1648 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1650 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1651 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1652 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1653 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1655 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1656 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1657 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1659 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1660 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1661 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1663 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1664 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
1665 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1666 have not defined a custom partition
1668 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1671 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1672 file in FAT formatted partition.
1674 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1675 user to write files to FAT.
1677 CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1680 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1681 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1684 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1685 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1687 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1688 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1693 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1697 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1698 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1699 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1700 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1703 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1704 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1705 which provides key scans on request.
1710 Define this to enable video support (for output to
1713 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1715 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1717 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1718 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1719 video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1720 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1723 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1724 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1726 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1727 Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
1729 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1730 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1731 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
1732 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
1733 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
1734 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
1735 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1736 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1738 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1739 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1742 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1743 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1744 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1745 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1748 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1749 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1750 support, and should also define these other macros:
1756 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1757 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1759 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1761 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1762 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1763 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1764 description of this variable.
1768 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1769 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1776 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1777 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1778 defined in your board-specific files.
1779 The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1781 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1783 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1784 display); also select one of the supported displays
1785 by defining one of these:
1789 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1791 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1793 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1795 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1797 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1798 Active, color, single scan.
1800 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1802 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1803 Active, color, single scan.
1807 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1808 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1810 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1812 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1813 Active, color, single scan.
1817 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1818 Active, color, single scan.
1822 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1824 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1828 320x240. Black & white.
1830 Normally display is black on white background; define
1831 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1833 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1835 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1836 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1837 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1838 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1839 a per-section basis.
1841 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1843 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1844 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1845 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1850 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1854 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1855 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1857 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1859 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1860 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1861 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1862 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1863 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1864 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1865 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1866 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1868 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1870 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1871 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1872 (see README.displaying-bmps).
1873 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1874 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1875 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1876 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1877 there is no need to set this option.
1879 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1881 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1882 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1883 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1884 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1885 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1886 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1889 setenv splashpos m,m
1890 => image at center of screen
1892 setenv splashpos 30,20
1893 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1895 setenv splashpos -10,m
1896 => vertically centered image
1897 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1899 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1901 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1902 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1903 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1905 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1907 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1908 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1911 - Do compresssing for memory range:
1914 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1915 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1917 - Compression support:
1920 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1924 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1925 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1926 compressed images are supported.
1928 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1929 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1934 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1937 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1938 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1941 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1943 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1944 and Literal pos bits.
1946 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1947 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1948 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1949 a very small buffer.
1951 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1952 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1953 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1957 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1963 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1965 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1967 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1971 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1972 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1974 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1976 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1977 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1978 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1979 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1981 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1983 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1984 command issued before MII status register can be read
1994 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1995 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1996 is not determined automatically.
2001 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2002 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2003 determined through e.g. bootp.
2004 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
2006 - Server IP address:
2009 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2010 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2011 (Environment variable "serverip")
2013 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2015 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2016 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2018 - Gateway IP address:
2021 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2022 default router where packets to other networks are
2024 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2029 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2030 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2031 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2032 forwarded through a router.
2033 (Environment variable "netmask")
2035 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
2038 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2039 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
2040 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
2041 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2044 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2045 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2047 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2048 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2049 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2050 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2051 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2052 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2053 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2054 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2055 following delays are inserted then:
2057 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2058 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2059 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2061 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2063 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2065 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2066 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2067 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2068 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2069 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2070 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2071 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2072 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2073 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2074 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2075 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2076 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2077 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2078 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2079 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2081 - DHCP Advanced Options:
2082 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2083 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2085 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2086 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2087 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2088 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2089 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2090 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2093 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2094 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2095 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2096 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2097 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2099 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2100 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2102 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2103 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2104 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2105 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2108 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2109 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2110 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2111 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2112 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2113 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2114 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2117 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2118 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2119 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2120 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2121 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2122 option 12 to the DHCP server.
2124 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2126 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2127 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2128 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2129 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2130 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2131 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2132 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2133 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2134 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2135 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2138 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2139 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2140 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2141 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2142 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2144 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2147 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2149 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2151 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2153 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2158 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2159 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2160 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2162 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2164 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2165 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2169 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2173 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2177 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2179 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2181 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2182 device in .1 of milliwatts.
2184 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2186 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2188 - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2190 Several configurations allow to display the current
2191 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2192 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2193 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2194 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2195 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2196 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2202 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2203 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2204 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2205 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2207 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2208 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2209 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2210 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2211 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2212 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2214 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2216 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2217 on those systems that support this (optional)
2218 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2220 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2222 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2223 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2224 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2225 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See

2350 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2351 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2352 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2353 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2356 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2357 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2358 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2361 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2362 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2363 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2366 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2367 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2368 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2369 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2370 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2372 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2373 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2374 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2375 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2376 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2377 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2378 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2379 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2380 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2384 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2385 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2386 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2

2390 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2391 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2392 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2394 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2396 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2398 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2399 provides the following compelling advantages:
2401 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2402 - approved multibus support
2403 - better i2c mux support
2405 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2407 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2408 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2409 for the selected CPU.
2411 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2412 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2413 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2414 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2415 command line interface.
2417 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2419 There are several other quantities that must also be
2420 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2422 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2423 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2424 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2425 the CPU's i2c node address).
2427 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2428 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2429 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2430 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2431 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2433 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2435 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2436 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2437 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2438 commands until the slave device responds.
2440 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2442 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2443 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2444 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2448 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2449 controller or configure ports.
2451 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2455 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2456 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2457 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2461 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2462 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2465 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2469 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2470 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2473 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2477 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2480 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2484 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2485 is false, it clears it (low).
2487 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2488 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2489 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2493 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2494 is false, it clears it (low).
2496 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2497 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2498 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2502 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2503 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2504 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2507 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2509 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2511 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2512 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2513 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2514 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2516 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2517 the generic GPIO functions.
2519 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2521 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2522 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2523 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2524 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2525 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2526 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2527 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2528 is run early in the boot sequence.
2530 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2532 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2533 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2534 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2535 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2536 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2537 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2538 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2539 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2541 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2543 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2544 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2545 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2547 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2549 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2550 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2551 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2552 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2554 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2556 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2557 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2558 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2559 a 1D array of device addresses
2562 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2563 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2565 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2567 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2568 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2570 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2572 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2574 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2575 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2577 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2579 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2580 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2582 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2584 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2585 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2587 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2589 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2590 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2591 specified DTT device.
2593 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2595 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2596 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2597 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2598 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2599 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2600 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2603 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2605 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2606 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2607 D/As on the SACSng board)
2611 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2612 only SH7757 is supported.
2616 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2617 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2621 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2622 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2623 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2624 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2625 defined, the board configuration must define several
2626 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2627 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2631 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2632 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2633 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2634 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2635 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2639 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2640 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2642 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2643 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2644 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2646 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2648 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2650 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2652 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2655 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2657 Enables support for FPGA family.
2658 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2662 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2664 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2666 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2668 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2670 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2672 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2674 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2677 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2679 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2681 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2683 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2684 status by the configuration function. This option
2685 will require a board or device specific function to
2690 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2691 configuration driver.
2693 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2694 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2696 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2698 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2699 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2700 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2701 indicated a CRC error).
2703 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2705 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2706 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2707 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2710 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2712 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2713 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2715 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2717 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2720 - Configuration Management:
2723 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2724 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2725 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2726 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2731 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2732 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2734 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2736 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2737 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2738 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2739 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2740 protects these variables from casual modification by
2741 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2742 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2743 change this behaviour:
2745 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2746 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2747 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2750 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2751 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2752 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2753 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2754 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2757 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2758 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2759 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2760 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2765 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2766 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2767 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2768 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2769 this default value by defining an environment
2770 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2771 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2772 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2773 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2774 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2775 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2776 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2778 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2781 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2782 either, which results in a memory region that will
2783 not be affected by reboots.
2785 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2786 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2787 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2788 following board configurations are known to be
2791 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2792 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2795 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2796 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2797 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2798 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2799 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2800 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2801 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2806 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2807 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2808 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2809 system where you want the system to reboot
2810 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2811 useful during development since you can try to debug
2812 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2814 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2816 This variable defines the number of retries for
2817 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2818 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2819 default value of 5 is used.
2823 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2827 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2828 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2829 try longer timeout such as
2830 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2832 - Command Interpreter:
2833 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2835 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2837 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2839 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2840 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2841 powerful command line syntax like
2842 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2843 constructs ("shell scripts").
2845 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2846 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2849 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2851 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2852 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2853 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2857 In the current implementation, the local variables
2858 space and global environment variables space are
2859 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2860 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2861 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2862 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2863 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2865 Global environment variables are those you use
2866 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2867 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2868 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2870 To store commands and special characters in a
2871 variable, please use double quotation marks
2872 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2873 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2876 - Commandline Editing and History:
2877 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2879 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2880 commandline input operations
2882 - Default Environment:
2883 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2885 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2886 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2887 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2889 For example, place something like this in your
2890 board's config file:
2892 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2896 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2897 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2898 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2899 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2900 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2901 You better know what you are doing here.
2903 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2904 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2905 the environment like the "source" command or the
2908 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2910 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2911 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2912 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2914 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2922 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2924 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2925 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2926 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2928 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2930 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2931 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2932 that so that the environment is not available until
2933 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2934 this is instead controlled by the value of
2935 /config/load-environment.
2937 - DataFlash Support:
2938 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2940 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2941 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2944 - Serial Flash support
2947 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2948 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2950 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2951 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2954 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2955 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2956 flash is present on the system.
2958 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2959 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2960 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2961 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2965 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2968 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2970 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2971 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2973 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2975 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2976 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2977 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2979 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2980 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2981 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2982 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2983 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2984 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2985 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2986 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2987 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2988 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2990 - SystemACE Support:
2993 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2994 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2995 of the chip must also be defined in the
2996 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2998 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2999 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3001 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3002 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3004 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3007 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3008 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3009 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3010 number generator is used.
3012 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3013 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3014 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3016 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3017 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3018 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3019 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3020 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3021 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3022 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3027 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3028 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3032 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3035 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3036 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3038 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3039 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3041 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3042 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3043 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3044 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3047 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3048 a boot from specific media.
3050 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3051 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3052 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3053 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3054 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3059 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3060 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3062 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3065 - bootcount support:
3066 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3068 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3069 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3072 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3074 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3076 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3077 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3078 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3079 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3080 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3081 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3082 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3084 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3086 - Show boot progress:
3087 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3089 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3090 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3091 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3092 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3093 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3094 the following checkpoints are implemented:
3096 - Detailed boot stage timing
3098 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3099 of the boot process.
3101 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3102 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3103 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3104 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3105 the limit, recording will stop.
3107 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3108 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3110 Timer summary in microseconds:
3113 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3114 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3115 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
3116 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
3117 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3118 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3119 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3121 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3122 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3123 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3125 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3126 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3127 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3128 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3129 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3130 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3135 name = "board_init_f";
3144 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3299 - legacy image format:
3300 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3301 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3304 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3306 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3307 disable the legacy image format
3309 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3310 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3312 - FIT image support:
3314 Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3316 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3317 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3318 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3319 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3320 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3321 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3323 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3324 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3325 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
3326 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3328 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3329 signature check the legacy image format is default
3330 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3331 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3333 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3334 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3335 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3338 - Standalone program support:
3339 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3341 This option defines a board specific value for the
3342 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3343 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3346 - Frame Buffer Address:
3349 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3350 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3351 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3352 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3353 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3354 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3355 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3356 configured panel size.
3358 Please see board_init_f function.
3360 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3362 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3363 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3365 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3366 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3368 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3371 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3372 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3374 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3376 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3377 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3379 CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE
3380 verify if the written data is correct reread.
3385 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3386 with the UBI flash translation layer
3388 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3390 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3392 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3393 warnings and errors enabled.
3396 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3397 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3398 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3399 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3400 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3401 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3403 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3404 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3405 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3406 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3407 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3411 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3412 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3413 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3414 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3415 flash), this value is ignored.
3417 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3418 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3419 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3420 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3421 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3422 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3424 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3425 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3426 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3427 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3428 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3429 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3430 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3435 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3436 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3437 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3438 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3439 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3440 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3441 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3442 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3443 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3444 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3445 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3446 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3448 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3449 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
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

3671 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3672 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3673 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3674 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3675 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

3702 [so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3704 - Modem support enable:
3705 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3707 - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3710 - Modem debug support:
3711 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3713 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3714 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3716 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3718 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3719 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3720 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3721 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3722 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3723 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3724 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3725 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3726 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3727 general timer_interrupt().
3731 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3732 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3733 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3734 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3735 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3736 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3739 If there are no modem init strings in the
3740 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3741 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3744 See also: doc/README.Modem
3746 Board initialization settings:
3747 ------------------------------
3749 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3750 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3751 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3752 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3753 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3754 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3756 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3757 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3758 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3759 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3761 Configuration Settings:
3762 -----------------------
3764 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3765 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3767 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3768 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3770 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3771 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3773 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3774 prompt for user input.
3776 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3778 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3780 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3782 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3783 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3786 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3787 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3789 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3790 Suppress display of console information at boot.
3792 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3793 If the board specific function
3794 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3795 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3796 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3798 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3799 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3801 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3802 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3804 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3805 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3808 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3809 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3811 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3812 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3813 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3815 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3816 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3817 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3818 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3819 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3820 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3821 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3822 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3823 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3824 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3826 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3827 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3830 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3831 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3832 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3833 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3836 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3837 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3839 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3840 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3842 - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3843 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3846 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3847 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3849 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3850 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3851 make config files to be same as the text base address
3852 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3853 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3855 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3856 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3857 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3858 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3861 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3862 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3864 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3865 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3866 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3867 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3868 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3871 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3872 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3873 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3874 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3875 U-Boot relocates itself.
3877 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3878 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3880 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3881 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3882 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3883 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3884 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3886 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3887 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3888 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3889 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3890 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3891 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3892 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3893 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3894 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3895 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3896 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3898 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3899 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3900 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3903 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3904 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3905 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3907 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3908 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3909 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3911 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3912 Max number of Flash memory banks
3914 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3915 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3917 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3918 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3920 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3921 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3923 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3924 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3926 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3927 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3929 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3930 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3931 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3933 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3935 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3936 without this option such a download has to be
3937 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3938 copy from RAM to flash.
3940 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3941 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3942 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3943 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3944 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3946 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3947 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3948 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3950 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3951 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3952 in the drivers directory
3954 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3955 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3956 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3959 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3960 Use buffered writes to flash.
3962 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3963 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3966 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3967 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3968 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3969 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3970 optionally available.
3972 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3973 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3974 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3975 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3977 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3978 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3979 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3980 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3981 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3982 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3983 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3984 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3986 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3987 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3988 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3989 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3990 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3991 on high Ethernet traffic.
3992 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3994 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3996 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3997 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3998 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3999 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4000 lib/hashtable.c for details.
4002 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4003 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4004 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4005 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4006 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4007 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4009 The format of the list is:
4010 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4011 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
4012 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
4013 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4016 The type attributes are:
4017 s - String (default)
4020 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4024 The access attributes are:
4030 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4031 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4032 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4034 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4035 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4036 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4037 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4038 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4041 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4042 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4045 - CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4046 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4047 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4048 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4049 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4050 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4051 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4052 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4053 your board please report the problem and send patches!
4055 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4056 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4057 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4058 the value can be calulated on a given board.
4061 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4062 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4063 building U-Boot to enable this.
4065 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4066 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4067 following configurations:
4069 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4071 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4072 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4074 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4076 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4078 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4079 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4080 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4081 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4082 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4083 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4084 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4085 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4086 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4087 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4088 between U-Boot and the environment.
4090 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4092 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4093 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4094 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4095 for this sector is given here.
4097 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4101 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4102 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4105 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4107 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4110 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4111 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4116 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4117 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4118 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4119 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4121 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4122 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4123 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4124 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4125 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4126 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4127 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4128 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4129 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4131 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4132 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4134 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4135 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4136 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4137 a "saveenv" operation.
4139 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4140 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4144 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4146 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4147 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4153 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4154 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4155 can just be read and written to, without any special
4158 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4159 in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4160 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4163 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4164 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4165 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4166 to save the current settings.
4169 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4171 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4172 device and a driver for it.
4174 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4177 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4178 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4180 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4181 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4182 The default address is zero.
4184 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4185 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4186 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4187 would require six bits.
4189 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4190 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4191 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4193 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4194 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4195 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4197 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4198 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4199 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4200 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4201 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4204 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4205 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4206 in the chip address.
4208 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4209 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4211 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4212 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4213 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4215 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4216 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4217 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4218 EEPROM. For example:
4220 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4222 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4223 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4225 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4227 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4228 want to use for the environment.
4230 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4234 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4235 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4236 at the specified address.
4238 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4240 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4241 want to use for the environment.
4243 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4246 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4247 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4248 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4250 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4252 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4254 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4256 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4257 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4258 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4259 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4260 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4262 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4263 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4265 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4267 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4269 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4271 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4273 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4275 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4277 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4278 want to use for the local device's environment.
4283 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4284 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4285 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4286 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4288 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4289 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4290 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4291 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4293 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4295 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4296 for the environment.
4298 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4301 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4302 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4303 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4305 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4307 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4308 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4309 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4310 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4311 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4313 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4315 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4316 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4317 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4318 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4319 the range to be avoided.
4321 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4323 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4324 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4325 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4326 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4327 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4329 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4331 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4332 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4333 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4335 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4337 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4338 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4339 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4341 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4343 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4345 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4347 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4350 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4352 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4353 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4354 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4356 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4357 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4359 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4360 when storing the env in UBI.
4362 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4363 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4365 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4367 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4369 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4371 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4374 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4375 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4378 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4379 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4381 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4382 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4383 partition table then means device D.
4387 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4391 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4393 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4395 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4398 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4400 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4402 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4404 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4405 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4406 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4408 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4411 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4412 area within the specified MMC device.
4414 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4415 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4416 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4417 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4418 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4419 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4420 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4422 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4423 MMC sector boundary.
4425 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4427 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4428 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4429 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4430 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4432 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4433 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4435 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4436 an MMC sector boundary.
4438 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4440 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4441 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4444 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4446 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4447 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4448 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4449 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4450 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4451 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4452 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4454 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4455 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4456 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4457 until then to read environment variables.
4459 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4460 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4461 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4462 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4463 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4464 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4466 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4467 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4468 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4470 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4471 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4473 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4474 also needs to be defined.
4476 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4477 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4479 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4480 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4481 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4482 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4483 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4484 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4486 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4487 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4488 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4491 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4492 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4493 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4496 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4497 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4498 build system checks that the actual size does not
4501 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4502 ---------------------------------------------------
4504 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4505 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4507 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4508 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4510 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4511 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4512 the IMMR register after a reset.
4514 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4515 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4518 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4519 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4520 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4522 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4523 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4525 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4526 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4527 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4528 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4529 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4530 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4531 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4533 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4534 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4536 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4537 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4538 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4539 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4540 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4542 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4543 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4544 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4545 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4547 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4548 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4549 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4551 - Floppy Disk Support:
4552 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4554 the default drive number (default value 0)
4556 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4558 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4561 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4563 defines the offset of register from address. It
4564 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4565 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4567 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4568 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4571 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4572 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4573 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4574 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4578 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4579 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4580 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4581 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4582 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4585 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4586 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4587 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4589 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4591 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4592 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4593 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4594 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4595 will become available only after programming the
4596 memory controller and running certain initialization
4599 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4600 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4601 - MPC824X: data cache
4602 - PPC4xx: data cache
4604 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4606 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4607 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4608 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4609 data is located at the end of the available space
4610 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4611 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4612 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4613 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4616 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4617 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4618 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4619 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4620 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4668 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4670 - CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4671 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4672 wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4673 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4675 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4676 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4677 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4678 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4689 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4691 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4692 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4695 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4696 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
4697 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4698 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4699 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4700 by coreboot or similar.
4702 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:

4726 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4727 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4729 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4730 Example of drivers that use it:
4731 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4732 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4734 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4735 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4736 a default value will be used.
4739 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4740 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4743 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4745 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4746 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4747 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4748 to something your driver can deal with.
4750 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4751 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4752 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4753 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4754 header files or board specific files.
4756 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4757 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4759 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4760 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4761 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4763 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4764 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4766 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4767 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4768 to the given FEC; i. e.
4769 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4770 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4772 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4774 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4775 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4776 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4779 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4780 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4781 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4783 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4784 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4787 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4789 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4790 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4794 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4795 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4798 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4803 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4805 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4806 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4808 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4809 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4811 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4812 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4813 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4814 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4815 relocate itself into RAM.
4817 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4818 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4819 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4820 these initializations itself.
4823 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4824 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4825 compiling a NAND SPL.
4828 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4829 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4830 It is loaded by the SPL.
4832 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4833 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4834 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4835 previous 4k of the .text section.
4837 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4838 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4839 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4840 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4841 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4842 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4843 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4844 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4846 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4847 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4848 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4849 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4850 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4852 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4853 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4854 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4857 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4859 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4861 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4862 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4864 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4865 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4866 driver that uses this:
4867 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4869 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4870 -----------------------------------
4872 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4873 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4874 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4875 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4878 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4879 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4880 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4883 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4884 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4885 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4888 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4889 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4890 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4891 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4892 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4894 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4895 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4896 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4897 virtual address in NOR flash.
4899 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4900 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4901 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4903 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4904 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4905 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4907 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4908 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4909 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4911 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4912 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4913 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4914 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4915 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4916 master's memory space.
4918 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4919 ---------------------------------------------------------
4920 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4922 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4923 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4926 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4927 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4929 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4930 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4931 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4934 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4935 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4936 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4937 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4938 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4940 - CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4941 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4942 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4943 virtual address in NOR flash.
4945 Building the Software:
4946 ======================
4948 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4949 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4950 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4951 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4952 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4953 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4955 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4956 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4957 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4958 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4959 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4961 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4962 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4964 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4965 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4966 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4967 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4969 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4971 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4972 be executed on computers running Windows.
4974 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4975 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4980 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4981 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4983 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4984 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4985 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4986 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4987 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4989 make TQM823L_defconfig
4990 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4992 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4993 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4998 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4999 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5001 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5002 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5003 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5005 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5006 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5007 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5009 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5011 make O=/tmp/build distclean
5012 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5013 make O=/tmp/build all
5015 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5017 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5022 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5026 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5027 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5031 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5032 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5035 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
5036 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5037 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
5038 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5039 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5040 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
5041 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5043 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5044 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
5045 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
5046 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5047 to be installed on your target system.
5048 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5049 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5052 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5053 ==============================================================
5055 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5056 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5057 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5058 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5059 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5061 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5062 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5063 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5064 just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5065 for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5066 select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5067 environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5070 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5072 or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5074 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5076 When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5077 U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5078 setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5079 built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5080 <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5081 location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5082 variable. For example:
5084 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5085 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5086 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5088 With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5089 log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5090 during the whole build process.

5153 Environment Variables:
5154 ======================
5156 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5157 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5159 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5160 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5161 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5162 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5163 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5164 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5166 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5168 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5170 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5172 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5174 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5176 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5178 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
5180 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5181 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5182 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5183 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5184 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5185 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5186 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5189 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5190 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5191 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5192 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5193 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5194 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5197 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5198 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5199 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5200 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5201 environment variable.
5203 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5204 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5205 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5207 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5208 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5209 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5210 load any image using TFTP
5212 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5213 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5214 be automatically started (by internally calling
5217 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5218 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5219 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5220 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5223 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5224 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5225 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5226 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5227 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5228 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5229 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5230 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5231 access it during the boot procedure.
5233 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5234 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5235 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5236 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5237 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5238 must be accessible by the kernel.
5240 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5241 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5244 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5245 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5246 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5247 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5248 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5250 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5251 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5252 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5253 is usually what you want since it allows for
5254 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5255 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5256 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5257 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5258 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5259 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5260 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5262 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5263 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5264 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5265 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5266 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5267 12 MB as well - this can be done with
5269 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5271 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5272 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5273 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5274 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5275 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5276 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5277 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5279 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5281 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5282 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5284 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5286 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5288 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5290 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5292 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5294 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
5296 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5297 For example you can do the following
5299 => setenv ethact FEC
5300 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5301 => setenv ethact SCC
5302 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5304 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5305 available network interfaces.
5306 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5308 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5309 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5310 When set to "once" the network operation will
5311 fail when all the available network interfaces
5312 are tried once without success.
5313 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5316 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5318 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5319 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5320 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5321 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5324 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5327 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5328 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5330 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5331 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5333 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5334 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5335 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5336 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5337 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5338 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5339 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5341 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5342 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5345 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5346 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5347 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5348 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5349 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5350 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5351 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5353 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5354 boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5355 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5357 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5358 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5359 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5360 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5361 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5362 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5364 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5365 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5366 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5368 bootfile - see above
5369 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5370 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5371 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5372 hostname - Target hostname
5374 netmask - Subnet Mask
5375 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5376 serverip - see above
5379 There are two special Environment Variables:
5381 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5382 as type string and/or serial number
5383 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5385 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5386 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5387 once they have been set once.
5390 Further special Environment Variables:
5392 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5393 with the "version" command. This variable is
5394 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5397 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5398 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5401 Callback functions for environment variables:
5402 ---------------------------------------------
5404 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5405 when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5406 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5407 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5408 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5410 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5411 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5413 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5414 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5415 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5416 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5418 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5421 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5422 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5424 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5425 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5426 override any association in the static list. You can define
5427 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5428 ".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5431 Command Line Parsing:
5432 =====================
5434 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5435 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5437 Old, simple command line parser:
5438 --------------------------------
5440 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5441 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5442 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5443 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5445 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5446 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5447 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5452 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5453 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5454 until...do...done, ...
5455 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5456 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5457 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5463 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5464 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5465 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5468 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5469 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5470 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5471 variables are not executed.
5473 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5474 =======================================
5476 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5477 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5478 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5480 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5481 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5482 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5484 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5485 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5486 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5487 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5489 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5490 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5492 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5493 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5496 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5497 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5499 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5500 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5503 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5506 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5507 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5508 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5509 The naming convention is as follows:
5510 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5515 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5516 images in two formats:
5518 New uImage format (FIT)
5519 -----------------------
5521 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5522 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5523 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5524 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5530 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5531 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5532 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5534 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5535 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5536 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5537 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5539 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5540 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5541 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5542 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5548 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5549 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5556 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5557 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5560 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5561 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5562 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5563 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5564 serves several purposes:
5566 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5567 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5568 Flash memory footprint)
5570 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5571 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5573 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5574 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5575 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5576 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5577 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5578 software is easier now.
5584 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5585 ---------------------------------------
5587 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5588 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5589 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5592 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5594 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5595 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5596 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5597 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5598 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5600 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5601 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5602 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5606 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5607 -----------------------------
5609 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5610 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5613 Building a Linux Image:
5614 -----------------------
5616 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5617 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5618 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5619 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5620 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5621 100% compatible format.
5625 make TQM850L_defconfig
5630 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5631 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5632 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5634 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5636 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5638 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5639 -R .note -R .comment \
5640 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5642 * compress the binary image:
5646 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5648 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5649 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5650 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5653 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5654 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5655 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5656 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5657 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5658 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5660 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5661 print the header information, or to build new images.
5663 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5664 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5665 checksum verification:
5667 tools/mkimage -l image
5668 -l ==> list image header information
5670 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5671 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5673 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5674 -n name -d data_file image
5675 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5676 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5677 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5678 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5679 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5680 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5681 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5682 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5684 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5685 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5688 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5689 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5691 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5693 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5694 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5695 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \

5701 Load Address: 0x00000000
5702 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5704 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5706 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5707 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5711 Load Address: 0x00000000
5712 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5714 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5715 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5716 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5717 need to be uncompressed:
5719 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5720 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5721 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5722 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \

5732 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5733 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5735 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5736 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5737 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5742 Load Address: 0x00000000
5743 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5745 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5746 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5747 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5750 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5751 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5752 indexed by 'position'
5755 Installing a Linux Image:
5756 -------------------------
5758 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5759 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5761 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5763 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5764 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5765 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5766 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5769 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5770 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5772 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5778 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5788 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5789 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5790 corruption happened:

5806 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5807 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5808 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5809 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5810 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5813 => printenv bootargs
5814 bootargs=root=/dev/ram

5935 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5936 ------------------------------
5938 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5940 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5941 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5942 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5943 the Standalone Program.
5944 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5945 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5946 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5947 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5948 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5949 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5950 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5952 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5953 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5954 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5955 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5956 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5957 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5959 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5960 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5961 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5962 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5963 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5964 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5966 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5967 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5970 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5971 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5972 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5973 as command interpreter.
5975 Booting the Linux zImage:
5976 -------------------------
5978 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5979 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5980 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5982 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5983 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5984 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5985 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5991 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5992 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5993 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5995 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6000 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6001 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6002 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6006 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
6007 ~>examples/hello_world.srec

6014 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6025 Hit any key to exit ...
6027 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6029 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6030 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6031 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6032 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6033 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6034 controlled by the following keys:
6036 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6037 b - enable interrupts and start timer
6038 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6039 q - quit application

6079 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6080 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6081 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6082 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6083 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6084 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
6085 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6086 for help with kermit.
6089 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6090 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6092 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6093 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
6094 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
6100 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6101 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6103 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6104 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6105 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6106 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6107 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6108 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6110 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6112 # ln -s powerpc machine
6113 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6114 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6116 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6117 and U-Boot include files.
6119 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6120 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6121 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6122 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6123 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6126 Implementation Internals:
6127 =========================
6129 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6130 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6131 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6135 Initial Stack, Global Data:
6136 ---------------------------
6138 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6139 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6140 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6141 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6142 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6143 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6144 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6145 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6146 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6147 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6149 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6150 U-Boot mailing list:
6152 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6153 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6154 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6157 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6158 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6159 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6160 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6161 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6162 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6163 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6164 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6166 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6167 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6168 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6169 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6170 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6171 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6174 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6175 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6176 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6177 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6178 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6179 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6180 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6181 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6182 you get the config right.
6187 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6188 code for the initialization procedures:
6190 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6193 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
6194 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6195 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6197 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6200 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6201 normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6202 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6203 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6204 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6205 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6206 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6207 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6208 reserve for this purpose.
6210 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6211 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6212 GCC's implementation.
6214 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6216 R2: reserved for system use
6217 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6218 R5-R10: parameter passing
6219 R13: small data area pointer
6223 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6224 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6225 going back and forth between asm and C)
6227 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6229 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6230 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6231 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6232 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6233 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6234 624 text + 127 data).
6236 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6237 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6239 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6241 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6243 R0: function argument word/integer result
6244 R1-R3: function argument word
6245 R9: platform specific
6246 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6247 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6248 R12: temporary workspace
6251 R15: program counter
6253 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6255 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6257 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6258 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6260 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6262 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6263 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6265 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6267 R0-R1: argument/return
6269 R15: temporary register for assembler
6270 R16: trampoline register
6271 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6272 R29: global pointer (GP)
6273 R30: link register (LP)
6274 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6275 PC: program counter (PC)
6277 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6279 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6280 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6285 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6286 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6288 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6289 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6290 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6291 physical memory banks.
6293 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6294 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6295 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6296 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6297 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6298 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6299 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6301 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6302 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6304 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6307 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6310 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6316 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6317 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6318 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6321 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6322 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6323 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6324 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6327 System Initialization:
6328 ----------------------
6330 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6331 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6332 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6333 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6334 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6335 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6336 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6337 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6338 the caches and the SIU.
6340 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6341 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6342 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6343 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6344 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6345 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6348 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6349 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6350 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6351 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6352 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6354 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6355 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6356 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6357 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6359 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6360 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6361 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a

6451 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6452 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6455 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6456 - remove any trailing white space
6457 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6458 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6459 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6460 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6462 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6463 with a request to reformat the changes.
6469 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6470 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6471 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6473 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6475 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6476 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6478 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6481 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6482 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6483 patch actually fixes something.
6485 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6488 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6490 * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6492 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6493 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6495 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6496 document these in the README file.
6498 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6499 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6500 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6501 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6502 with some other mail clients.
6504 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6505 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of

6514 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6516 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6517 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6519 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6520 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6525 * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6526 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6527 for any of the boards.
6529 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6530 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6531 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6533 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6534 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6535 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6536 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6537 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6540 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6541 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6542 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6543 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
