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

170 Software Configuration:
171 =======================
173 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
174 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
176 There are two classes of configuration variables:
178 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
179 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
182 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
183 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
184 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
187 Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
188 symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
189 U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
190 allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
194 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
195 ---------------------------------------------------
197 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
198 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
200 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
203 make TQM823L_defconfig
205 Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
206 you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
207 doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
212 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
213 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
214 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
215 run some of U-Boot's tests.
217 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
220 Board Initialisation Flow:
221 --------------------------
223 This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
224 SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
226 Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
227 more detail later in this file.
229 At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
230 and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
231 may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
232 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
234 Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
235 CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
237 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
238 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
239 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
241 and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
242 limitations of each of these functions are described below.
245 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
246 - no global_data or BSS
247 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
248 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
249 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
251 - this is almost never needed
252 - return normally from this function
255 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
256 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
257 - global_data is available
259 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
260 only stack variables and global_data
262 Non-SPL-specific notes:
263 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
267 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
269 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
270 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
271 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
272 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
275 Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
276 this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
277 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
281 - purpose: main execution, common code
282 - global_data is available
284 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
285 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
287 Non-SPL-specific notes:
288 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
292 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
293 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
294 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
295 done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
296 spl_board_init() function containing this call
297 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
301 Configuration Options:
302 ----------------------
304 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
305 such information is kept in a configuration file
306 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
308 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
309 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
312 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
313 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
314 build a config tool - later.
317 The following options need to be configured:
319 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
321 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
323 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
324 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
326 - Marvell Family Member
327 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
328 multiple fs option at one time
329 for marvell soc family
331 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
332 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
333 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
334 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
335 reference PIT/RTC clock
336 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
339 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
340 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
341 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
342 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
343 See doc/README.MPC866
345 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
347 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
348 of relying on the correctness of the configured
349 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
350 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
351 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
352 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
354 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
356 Define this option if you want to enable the
357 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
362 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
363 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
364 compliance, among other possible reasons.
366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
368 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
369 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
370 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
372 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
374 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
375 tree nodes for the given platform.
377 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
379 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
380 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
381 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
384 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
386 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
387 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
389 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
390 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
391 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
392 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
394 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
397 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
398 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
399 required during NOR boot.
401 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
402 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
403 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
405 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
407 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
408 according to the A004510 workaround.
410 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
411 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
412 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
414 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
415 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
416 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
418 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
419 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
420 connected to the DSP core.
422 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
423 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
426 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
427 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
428 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
430 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
431 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
432 time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
435 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
436 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
438 - Generic CPU options:
439 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
440 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
441 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
442 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
443 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
445 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
447 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
448 values is arch specific.

483 Board config to use DDR2. It can be enabled for SoCs with
484 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board
488 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with
489 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers.

515 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_RCW
516 It adds PBI(pre-boot instructions) commands in u-boot build image.
517 PBI commands can be used to configure SoC before it starts the execution.
518 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details
521 It adds a target to create boot binary having SPL binary in PBI format
522 concatenated with u-boot binary.
524 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_BE
525 Defines the DDR controller register space as Big Endian
527 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_LE
528 Defines the DDR controller register space as Little Endian
530 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY
531 Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the
532 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But
533 it could be different for ARM SoCs.
535 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B

553 Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian
556 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
558 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
559 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
562 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
564 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
565 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
567 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
570 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
574 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
576 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
578 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
579 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
581 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
583 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
584 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
585 be swapped if a flash programmer is used.

602 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
604 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
605 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
606 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
608 - Linux Kernel Interface:
611 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
612 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
613 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
614 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
615 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
616 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
618 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
619 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
622 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
624 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
625 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
626 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
630 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
631 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
635 * New libfdt-based support
636 * Adds the "fdt" command
637 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
639 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
640 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
641 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
642 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
643 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
644 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
646 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
649 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
651 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
652 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
654 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
656 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
657 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
658 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
663 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
664 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
665 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
666 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
667 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
668 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
670 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
672 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
673 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
674 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
675 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
676 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
677 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
678 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
680 - vxWorks boot parameters:
682 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
683 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
684 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
685 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
687 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
688 the defaults discussed just above.
690 - Cache Configuration:
691 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
692 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
693 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
695 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
696 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
698 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
699 controller register space
704 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
708 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
712 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
713 the clock speed of the UARTs.
717 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
718 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
719 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
721 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
723 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
724 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
727 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
728 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
729 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
730 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
732 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
733 port routines must be defined elsewhere
734 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
737 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
738 Select one of the baudrates listed in
739 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
740 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
742 - Console Rx buffer length
743 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
744 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
745 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
746 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
747 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
752 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
753 define a command string that is automatically executed
754 when no character is read on the console interface
755 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
758 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
759 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
760 environment value "bootargs".
762 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
763 The value of these goes into the environment as
764 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
765 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
769 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
770 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
772 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
775 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
776 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
777 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
778 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
779 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
780 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
781 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
782 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791 entering interactive mode.
793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794 automatically generated or modified. For an example
795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796 modified when the user holds down a certain
797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
800 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
809 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
811 Select one of the baudrates listed in
812 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
815 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
816 from the build by using the #include files
817 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
818 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

928 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
929 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
932 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
934 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
935 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
936 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
937 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
938 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
939 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
940 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
941 initial stack and some data.
944 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
946 - Removal of commands
947 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
948 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
949 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
950 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
951 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
952 simple boot procedures.
954 - Regular expression support:
956 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
957 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
958 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
959 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
963 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
964 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
965 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
966 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
967 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
969 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
970 be done using one of the three options below:
973 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
974 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
975 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
976 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
977 the global data structure as gd->blob.
980 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
981 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
982 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
984 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
986 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
987 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
988 still use the individual files if you need something more
992 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
993 provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
994 the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
995 this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
999 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1000 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1001 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1002 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1003 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1004 available, then no further board specific code should
1005 be needed to use it.
1008 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1009 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1010 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1012 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1013 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1016 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1017 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1018 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1019 version as printed by the "version" command.
1020 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1025 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1026 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1029 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1030 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1031 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1032 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1033 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1034 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1035 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1036 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1037 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1038 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1039 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1040 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1041 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1044 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1045 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1048 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1050 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1051 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1052 pins supported by a particular chip.
1054 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1055 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1058 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1059 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1060 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1061 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1062 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1063 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1064 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1065 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1067 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1068 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1069 still continue to operate.
1072 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1073 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1074 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1075 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1076 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1077 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1079 - Timestamp Support:
1081 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1082 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1083 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1084 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1086 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1087 Zero or more of the following:
1088 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1089 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1090 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1091 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1092 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1093 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1095 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1097 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1098 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1099 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1102 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1103 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1105 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1106 be performed by calling the function
1107 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1108 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1113 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1118 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1119 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1120 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1121 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1123 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1124 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1128 At the moment only there is only support for the
1129 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1130 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1132 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1133 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1134 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1135 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1137 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1139 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1140 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1142 - NETWORK Support (PCI):
1144 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1147 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1148 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1149 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1151 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1152 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for

1221 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1222 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1223 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1224 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1225 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1226 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

1339 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1340 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1341 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1342 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1343 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1344 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1345 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1346 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1348 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1349 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1350 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1351 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1354 Define this to build a UDC device
1357 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1358 talk to the UDC device
1361 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1362 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1363 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1364 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1365 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1368 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1369 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1373 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1374 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1375 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1377 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1378 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1379 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1380 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1381 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1382 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1384 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1385 Define this string as the name of your company for
1386 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1388 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1389 Define this string as the name of your product
1390 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1392 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1393 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1394 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1395 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1396 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1398 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1399 Define this as the unique Product ID
1401 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1403 - ULPI Layer Support:
1404 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1405 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1406 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1407 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1408 viewport is supported.
1409 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1410 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1411 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1412 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1413 the appropriate value in Hz.
1416 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1417 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1418 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1419 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1420 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1421 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1424 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1426 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1427 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1430 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1432 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1433 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1435 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1436 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1437 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1439 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1440 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1441 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1444 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1445 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1446 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1447 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1450 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1453 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1456 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1457 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1458 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1459 one that would help mostly the developer.
1461 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1462 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1463 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1464 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1465 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1467 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1468 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1469 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1470 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1471 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1472 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1474 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1475 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1476 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1477 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1479 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1480 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1481 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1482 sending again an USB request to the device.
1484 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1485 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1486 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1489 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1490 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1491 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1492 used on Android devices.
1493 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1495 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1496 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1497 image format header.
1499 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1500 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1501 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1504 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1505 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1506 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1507 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1509 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1510 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1511 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1512 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1514 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1515 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1516 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1517 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1519 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1520 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1521 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1522 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1523 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1524 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1525 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1526 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1528 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1529 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1531 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1532 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1533 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1535 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1537 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1539 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1540 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1541 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1543 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1546 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1547 file in FAT formatted partition.
1549 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1550 user to write files to FAT.
1552 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1553 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1555 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1556 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1559 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1563 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1564 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1565 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1566 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1571 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1572 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1573 support, and should also define these other macros:
1578 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1579 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1581 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1583 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1584 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1585 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1586 description of this variable.
1588 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1590 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1591 display); also select one of the supported displays
1592 by defining one of these:
1596 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1598 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1600 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1602 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1604 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1605 Active, color, single scan.
1607 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1609 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1610 Active, color, single scan.
1614 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1615 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1617 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1619 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1620 Active, color, single scan.
1624 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1625 Active, color, single scan.
1629 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1631 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1635 320x240. Black & white.
1637 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1639 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1640 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1641 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1642 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1643 a per-section basis.
1648 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1649 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1650 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1651 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1653 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1654 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1655 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1656 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1657 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1658 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1659 1 = 90 degree rotation
1660 2 = 180 degree rotation
1661 3 = 270 degree rotation
1663 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1664 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1668 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1672 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1673 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1675 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1677 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1678 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1679 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1680 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1681 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1682 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1683 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1684 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1686 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1688 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1689 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1690 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1691 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1692 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1693 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1694 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1695 there is no need to set this option.
1697 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1699 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1700 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1701 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1702 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1703 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1704 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1707 setenv splashpos m,m
1708 => image at center of screen
1710 setenv splashpos 30,20
1711 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1713 setenv splashpos -10,m
1714 => vertically centered image
1715 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1717 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1719 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1720 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1721 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1723 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1725 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1726 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1729 - Compression support:
1732 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1736 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1737 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1738 compressed images are supported.
1740 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1741 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1746 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1749 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1750 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1753 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1755 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1756 and Literal pos bits.
1758 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1759 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1760 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1761 a very small buffer.
1763 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1764 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1765 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1769 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1775 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1777 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1779 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1783 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1784 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1786 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1788 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1789 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1790 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1791 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1793 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1795 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1796 command issued before MII status register can be read
1801 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1802 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1803 determined through e.g. bootp.
1804 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1806 - Server IP address:
1809 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1810 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1811 (Environment variable "serverip")
1813 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1815 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1816 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1818 - Gateway IP address:
1821 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1822 default router where packets to other networks are
1824 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1829 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1830 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1831 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1832 forwarded through a router.
1833 (Environment variable "netmask")
1835 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
1838 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1839 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
1840 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
1841 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1844 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1845 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1847 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1848 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1849 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1850 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1851 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1852 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1853 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1854 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1855 following delays are inserted then:
1857 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1858 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1859 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1861 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1863 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1865 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1866 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1867 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1868 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1869 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1870 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1871 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1872 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1873 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1874 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1875 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1876 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1877 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1878 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1879 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1881 - DHCP Advanced Options:
1882 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1883 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1885 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1886 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1887 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1888 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1889 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1890 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1893 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1894 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1895 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1896 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1897 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1899 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1900 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1902 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1903 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1904 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1905 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1908 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1909 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1910 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1911 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1912 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1913 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1914 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1917 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1918 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1919 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1920 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1921 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1922 option 12 to the DHCP server.
1924 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1926 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1927 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1928 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1929 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1930 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1931 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1932 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1933 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1934 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1935 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1938 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1939 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1940 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1941 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1942 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1944 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1947 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1949 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1951 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1953 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1958 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1959 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1960 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1962 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1964 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1965 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1969 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1973 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1977 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1979 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1981 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1982 device in .1 of milliwatts.
1984 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1986 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1988 - Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1990 Several configurations allow to display the current
1991 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1992 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1993 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1994 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1995 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1996 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
2001 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
2002 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2003 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2004 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
2005 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2007 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2008 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2009 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2010 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2011 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2012 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2014 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2016 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2017 on those systems that support this (optional)
2018 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2020 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2022 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2023 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2024 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2025 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2026 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2029 ported i2c driver to the new framework:
2030 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c:
2031 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define
2032 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE

2178 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2179 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2180 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2182 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \

2204 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2206 - Legacy I2C Support:
2207 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2208 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2209 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2213 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2214 controller or configure ports.
2216 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2220 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2221 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2222 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2226 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2227 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2230 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2234 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2235 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2238 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2242 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2245 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2249 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2250 is false, it clears it (low).
2252 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2253 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2254 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2258 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2259 is false, it clears it (low).
2261 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2262 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2263 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2267 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2268 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2269 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2272 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2274 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2276 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2277 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2278 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2279 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2281 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2282 the generic GPIO functions.
2284 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2286 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2287 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2288 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2289 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2290 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2291 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2292 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2293 is run early in the boot sequence.
2295 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2297 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2298 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2299 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2300 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2302 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2304 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2305 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2306 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2307 a 1D array of device addresses
2310 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2311 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2313 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2315 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2316 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2318 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2320 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2322 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2323 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2325 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2327 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2328 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2330 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2332 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2333 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2335 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2337 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2338 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2339 specified DTT device.
2341 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2343 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2344 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2345 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2346 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2347 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2348 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2351 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2353 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2354 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2355 D/As on the SACSng board)
2359 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2360 only SH7757 is supported.
2364 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2365 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2366 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2367 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2368 defined, the board configuration must define several
2369 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2370 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2374 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2375 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2376 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2377 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2378 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2382 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2383 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2385 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2386 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2387 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2389 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2391 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2393 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2395 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2398 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2400 Enables support for FPGA family.
2401 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2405 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2407 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2409 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2411 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2413 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2415 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2417 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2420 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2422 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2424 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2426 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2427 status by the configuration function. This option
2428 will require a board or device specific function to
2433 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2434 configuration driver.
2436 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2437 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2439 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2441 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2442 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2443 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2444 indicated a CRC error).
2446 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2448 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2449 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2450 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2453 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2455 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2456 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2458 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2460 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2463 - Configuration Management:
2466 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2467 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2468 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2469 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2474 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2475 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2477 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2479 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2480 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2481 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2482 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2483 protects these variables from casual modification by
2484 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2485 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2486 change this behaviour:
2488 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2489 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2490 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2493 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2494 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2495 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2496 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2497 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2500 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2501 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2502 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2503 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2508 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2509 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2510 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2511 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2512 this default value by defining an environment
2513 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2514 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2515 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2516 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2517 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2518 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2519 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2521 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2524 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2525 either, which results in a memory region that will
2526 not be affected by reboots.
2528 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2529 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2530 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2531 following board configurations are known to be
2534 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2535 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2538 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2539 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2540 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2541 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2542 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2543 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2544 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2549 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2550 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2551 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2552 system where you want the system to reboot
2553 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2554 useful during development since you can try to debug
2555 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2557 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2559 This variable defines the number of retries for
2560 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2561 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2562 default value of 5 is used.
2566 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2570 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2571 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2572 try longer timeout such as
2573 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2575 - Command Interpreter:
2576 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2578 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2580 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2582 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2583 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2584 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2588 In the current implementation, the local variables
2589 space and global environment variables space are
2590 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2591 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2592 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2593 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2594 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2596 Global environment variables are those you use
2597 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2598 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2599 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2601 To store commands and special characters in a
2602 variable, please use double quotation marks
2603 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2604 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2607 - Command Line Editing and History:
2608 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2610 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2611 command line input operations
2613 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2614 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2616 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2617 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2618 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2621 - Default Environment:
2622 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2624 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2625 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2626 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2628 For example, place something like this in your
2629 board's config file:
2631 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2635 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2636 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2637 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2638 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2639 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2640 You better know what you are doing here.
2642 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2643 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2644 the environment like the "source" command or the
2647 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2649 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2650 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2651 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2653 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2661 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2663 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2664 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2665 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2667 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2669 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2670 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2671 that so that the environment is not available until
2672 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2673 this is instead controlled by the value of
2674 /config/load-environment.
2676 - DataFlash Support:
2677 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2679 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2680 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2683 - Serial Flash support
2686 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2687 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2689 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2690 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2693 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2694 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2695 flash is present on the system.
2697 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2698 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2699 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2700 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2704 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2707 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2709 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2710 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2711 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2713 - SystemACE Support:
2716 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2717 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2718 of the chip must also be defined in the
2719 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2721 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2722 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2724 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2725 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2727 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2730 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2731 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2732 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2733 number generator is used.
2735 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2736 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2737 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2739 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2740 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2741 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2742 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2743 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2744 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2745 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2750 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2751 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2755 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2758 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2759 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2761 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2762 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2763 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2764 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2766 - bootcount support:
2767 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2769 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2770 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2773 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2775 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2776 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2777 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2778 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2779 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2780 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2781 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2783 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2785 - Show boot progress:
2786 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2788 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2789 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2790 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2791 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2792 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2793 the following checkpoints are implemented:
2796 Legacy uImage format:

2946 -150 common/cmd_nand.c Incorrect FIT image format
2947 151 common/cmd_nand.c FIT image format OK
2949 - legacy image format:
2950 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
2951 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
2954 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
2956 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
2957 disable the legacy image format
2959 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
2960 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
2962 - Standalone program support:
2963 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2965 This option defines a board specific value for the
2966 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2967 overwriting the architecture dependent default
2970 - Frame Buffer Address:
2973 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
2974 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
2975 when using a graphics controller has separate video
2976 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2977 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2978 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2979 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2980 configured panel size.
2982 Please see board_init_f function.
2984 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
2986 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
2987 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
2989 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
2990 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
2992 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
2995 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
2996 Needed for mtdparts command support.
2998 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3000 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3001 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3006 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3007 with the UBI flash translation layer
3009 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3011 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3013 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3014 warnings and errors enabled.
3017 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3018 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3019 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3020 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3021 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3022 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3024 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3025 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3026 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3027 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3028 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3032 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3033 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3034 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3035 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3036 flash), this value is ignored.
3038 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3039 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3040 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3041 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3042 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3043 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3045 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3046 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3047 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3048 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3049 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3050 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3051 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3056 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3057 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3058 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3059 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3060 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3061 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3062 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3063 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3064 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3065 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3066 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3067 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3069 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3070 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3074 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3075 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3081 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3082 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3084 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3086 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3088 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3089 warnings and errors enabled.
3093 Enable building of SPL globally.
3096 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3098 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3099 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3100 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3101 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3102 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3103 must not be both defined at the same time.
3106 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3107 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3108 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3111 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3112 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3114 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3115 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3116 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3118 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3119 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3121 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3122 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3123 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3124 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3125 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3126 must not be both defined at the same time.
3129 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3131 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3132 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3133 loaded does not have a signature.
3134 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3135 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3137 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3138 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3139 and thus should be skipped silently.
3141 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3142 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3143 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3146 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3147 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3148 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3149 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3150 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3152 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3153 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3155 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3156 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3157 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3158 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3161 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3162 See also: doc/README.falcon
3164 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3165 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3166 about the running system.
3168 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3169 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3171 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3172 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3175 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3176 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3177 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3179 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3180 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3181 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3182 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3185 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3186 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3189 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3190 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem

3193 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3194 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3196 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3197 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3198 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3200 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3201 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3202 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3203 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3204 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3206 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3207 Avoid SPL relocation
3209 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3210 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3211 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3213 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3214 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3217 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3219 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3220 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3221 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3224 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3227 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3228 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3229 if you need to save space.
3231 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3232 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3235 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3236 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3237 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3238 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3239 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3240 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3243 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3244 Add support NAND boot
3246 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3247 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3249 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3250 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3252 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3253 Size of image to load
3255 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3256 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3258 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3259 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3260 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3262 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3263 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3264 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3266 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3267 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3270 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3271 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3272 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3273 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3274 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3277 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3278 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3279 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3281 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3282 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3283 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3284 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3285 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3289 Enable building of TPL globally.
3292 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3293 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3294 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3295 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3296 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3298 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3300 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3301 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3302 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3303 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3304 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3305 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3306 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3307 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3308 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3309 general timer_interrupt().
3312 Board initialization settings:
3313 ------------------------------
3315 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3316 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3317 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3318 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3319 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3320 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3322 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3323 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3324 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3325 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3327 Configuration Settings:
3328 -----------------------
3330 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3331 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3333 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3334 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3336 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3337 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3339 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3340 prompt for user input.
3342 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3344 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3346 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3348 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3349 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3352 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3353 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3355 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3356 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3359 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3360 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3362 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3363 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3364 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3366 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3367 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3368 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3369 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3370 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3371 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3372 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3373 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3375 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3376 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3377 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3378 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3379 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3380 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3381 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3382 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3383 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3384 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3386 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3387 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3390 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3391 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3392 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3393 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3396 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3397 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3399 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3400 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3402 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3403 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3405 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3406 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3407 make config files to be same as the text base address
3408 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3409 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3411 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3412 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3413 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3414 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3417 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3418 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3420 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3421 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3422 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3423 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3424 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3427 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3428 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3429 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3430 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3431 U-Boot relocates itself.
3433 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3434 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3435 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3436 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3438 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3439 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3440 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3441 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3442 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3443 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3444 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3445 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3446 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3447 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3448 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3449 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3450 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3451 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3452 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3453 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3455 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3457 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3458 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3459 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3460 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3461 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3463 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3464 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3465 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3466 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3467 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3468 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3469 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3470 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3471 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3472 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3473 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3475 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3476 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3477 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3480 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3481 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3482 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3484 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3485 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3486 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3488 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3489 Max number of Flash memory banks
3491 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3492 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3494 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3495 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3497 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3498 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3500 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3501 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3503 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3504 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3506 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3507 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3508 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3510 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3512 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3513 without this option such a download has to be
3514 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3515 copy from RAM to flash.
3517 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3518 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3519 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3520 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3521 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3523 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3524 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3525 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3527 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3528 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3529 in the drivers directory
3531 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3532 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3533 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3536 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3537 Use buffered writes to flash.
3539 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3540 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3543 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3544 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3545 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3546 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3547 optionally available.
3549 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3550 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3551 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3552 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3554 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3555 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3556 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3557 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3558 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3559 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3560 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3561 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3563 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3564 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3565 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3566 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3567 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3568 on high Ethernet traffic.
3569 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3571 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3573 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3574 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3575 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3576 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3577 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3579 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3580 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3581 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3582 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3583 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3584 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3586 The format of the list is:
3587 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3588 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3589 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3590 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3593 The type attributes are:
3594 s - String (default)
3597 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3601 The access attributes are:
3607 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3608 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3609 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3611 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3612 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3613 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3614 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3615 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3618 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3619 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3620 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3622 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3623 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3627 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3628 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3629 building U-Boot to enable this.
3631 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3632 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3633 following configurations:
3635 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3637 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3638 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3640 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3642 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3644 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3645 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3646 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3647 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3648 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3649 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3650 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3651 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3652 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3653 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3654 between U-Boot and the environment.
3656 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3658 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3659 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3660 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3661 for this sector is given here.
3663 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3667 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3668 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3671 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3673 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3676 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3677 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3682 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3683 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3684 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3685 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3687 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3688 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3689 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3690 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3691 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3692 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3693 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3694 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3695 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3697 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3698 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3700 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3701 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3702 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3703 a "saveenv" operation.
3705 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3706 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3710 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3712 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3713 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3719 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3720 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3721 can just be read and written to, without any special
3724 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3725 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3726 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3729 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3730 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3731 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3732 to save the current settings.
3735 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3737 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3738 device and a driver for it.
3740 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3743 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3744 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3746 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3747 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3748 The default address is zero.
3750 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
3751 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
3753 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3754 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3755 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3756 would require six bits.
3758 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3759 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3760 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
3762 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3763 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3764 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3766 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3767 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3768 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3769 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3770 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3773 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3774 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3775 in the chip address.
3777 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3778 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3780 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3781 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3782 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3784 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3785 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3786 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3787 EEPROM. For example:
3789 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
3791 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3792 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3794 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3796 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3797 want to use for the environment.
3799 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3803 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3804 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3805 at the specified address.
3807 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
3809 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
3810 want to use for the environment.
3812 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3815 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3816 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3817 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3819 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3821 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
3823 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3825 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3826 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3827 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3828 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3829 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3831 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
3832 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
3834 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
3836 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
3838 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
3840 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
3842 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
3844 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3846 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3847 want to use for the local device's environment.
3852 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3853 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3854 local device can get the environment from remote memory
3855 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3857 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3858 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3859 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3860 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3862 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3864 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3865 for the environment.
3867 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3870 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3871 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3872 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3874 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3876 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3877 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3878 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3879 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3880 aligned to an erase block boundary.
3882 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3884 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3885 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3886 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3887 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3888 the range to be avoided.
3890 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3892 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3893 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3894 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3895 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3896 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3898 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3900 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3901 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3902 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3904 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3906 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3907 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3908 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3910 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3912 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3914 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3916 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3919 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3921 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3922 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3923 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3925 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3926 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3928 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3929 when storing the env in UBI.
3931 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
3932 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
3934 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
3936 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
3938 - FAT_ENV_DEVICE_AND_PART:
3940 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
3943 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
3944 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
3947 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
3948 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
3950 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
3951 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
3952 partition table then means device D.
3956 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
3960 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
3962 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3964 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3967 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3969 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3971 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3973 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3974 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3975 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3977 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3980 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3981 area within the specified MMC device.
3983 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3984 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3985 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3986 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3987 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3988 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3989 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3991 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3992 MMC sector boundary.
3994 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3996 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3997 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3998 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3999 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4001 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4002 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4004 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4005 an MMC sector boundary.
4007 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4009 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4010 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4013 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4015 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4016 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4017 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4018 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4019 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4020 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4021 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4023 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4024 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4025 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4026 until then to read environment variables.
4028 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4029 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4030 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4031 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4032 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4033 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4035 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4036 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4037 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4039 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4040 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4042 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4043 also needs to be defined.
4045 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4046 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4048 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4049 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4050 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4051 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4052 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4053 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4055 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4056 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4057 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4060 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4061 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4062 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4065 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4066 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4067 build system checks that the actual size does not
4070 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4071 ---------------------------------------------------
4073 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4074 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4076 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4077 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4079 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4080 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4081 the IMMR register after a reset.
4083 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4084 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4087 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4088 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4089 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4091 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4092 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4094 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4095 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4096 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4097 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4098 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4099 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4100 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4102 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4103 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4105 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4106 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4107 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4108 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4109 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4111 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4112 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4113 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4114 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4116 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4117 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4118 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4120 - Floppy Disk Support:
4121 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4123 the default drive number (default value 0)
4125 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4127 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4130 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4132 defines the offset of register from address. It
4133 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4134 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4136 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4137 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4140 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4141 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4142 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4143 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4147 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4148 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4149 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4150 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4151 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4154 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4155 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4156 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4158 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4160 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4161 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4162 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4163 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4164 will become available only after programming the
4165 memory controller and running certain initialization
4168 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4169 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4170 - MPC824X: data cache
4171 - PPC4xx: data cache
4173 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4175 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4176 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4177 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4178 data is located at the end of the available space
4179 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4180 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4181 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4182 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4185 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4186 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4187 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4188 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4189 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4253 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4255 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4256 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4259 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4260 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4261 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4262 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4263 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4264 by coreboot or similar.
4266 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4267 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4270 Chip has SRIO or not
4273 Board has SRIO 1 port available
4276 Board has SRIO 2 port available
4278 - CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER

4290 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4291 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4293 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4294 Example of drivers that use it:
4295 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4296 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4298 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4299 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4300 a default value will be used.
4303 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4304 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4307 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4309 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4310 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4311 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4312 to something your driver can deal with.
4314 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4315 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4316 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4317 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4318 header files or board specific files.
4320 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4321 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4323 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4324 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4326 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4327 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4329 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4330 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4331 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4333 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4334 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4336 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4337 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4338 to the given FEC; i. e.
4339 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4340 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4342 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4344 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4345 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4346 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4349 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4350 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4351 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4353 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4354 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4357 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4359 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4360 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4364 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4365 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4368 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4373 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4375 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4376 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4378 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4379 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4381 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4382 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4383 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4384 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4385 relocate itself into RAM.
4387 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4388 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4389 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4390 these initializations itself.
4392 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4393 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4394 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4395 instruction cache) is still performed.
4398 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4399 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4400 compiling a NAND SPL.
4403 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4404 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4405 It is loaded by the SPL.
4407 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4408 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4409 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4410 previous 4k of the .text section.
4412 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4413 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4414 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4415 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4416 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4417 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4418 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4419 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4421 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4422 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4423 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4425 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4426 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4428 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4429 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4430 driver that uses this:
4431 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4433 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4434 -----------------------------------
4436 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4437 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4438 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4439 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4442 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4443 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4444 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4447 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4448 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4449 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4452 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4453 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4454 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4455 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4456 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4458 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4459 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4460 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4461 virtual address in NOR flash.
4463 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4464 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4465 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4467 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4468 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4469 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4471 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4472 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4473 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4474 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4475 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4476 master's memory space.
4478 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4479 ---------------------------------------------------------
4480 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4482 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4483 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4486 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4487 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4489 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4490 -------------------------------------------
4491 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4492 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4493 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4495 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4496 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4501 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4502 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4504 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4505 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4506 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4508 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4510 Building the Software:
4511 ======================
4513 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4514 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4515 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4516 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4517 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4518 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4520 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4521 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4522 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4523 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4524 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4526 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4527 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4529 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4530 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4531 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4532 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4534 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4536 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4537 be executed on computers running Windows.
4539 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4540 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4545 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4546 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4548 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4549 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4550 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4551 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4552 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4554 make TQM823L_defconfig
4555 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4557 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4558 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4563 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4564 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4566 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4567 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4568 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4570 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4571 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4572 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4574 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4576 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4577 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4578 make O=/tmp/build all
4580 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4582 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4587 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4591 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4592 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4596 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4597 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4600 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4601 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4602 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4603 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4605 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4606 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4607 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4608 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4609 to be installed on your target system.
4610 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4611 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4614 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4615 ==============================================================
4617 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4618 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4619 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4620 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4621 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4623 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4624 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4625 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4626 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4627 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4628 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4632 See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

4684 Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4685 ========================================

4692 Environment Variables:
4693 ======================
4695 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4696 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4698 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4699 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4700 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4701 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4702 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4703 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4705 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4707 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4709 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4711 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4713 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4715 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4717 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
4719 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4720 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4721 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4722 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4723 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4724 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4725 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4728 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4729 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4730 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4731 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4732 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4733 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4736 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4737 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4738 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4739 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4740 environment variable.
4742 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4743 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4744 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4746 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4747 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4748 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4749 load any image using TFTP
4751 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4752 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4753 be automatically started (by internally calling
4756 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4757 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4758 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4759 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4762 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4763 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4764 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4765 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4766 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4767 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4768 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4769 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4770 access it during the boot procedure.
4772 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4773 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4774 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4775 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4776 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4777 must be accessible by the kernel.
4779 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4780 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4783 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4784 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4785 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4786 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4787 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4789 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4790 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4791 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4792 is usually what you want since it allows for
4793 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4794 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4795 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4796 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4797 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4798 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4799 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4801 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4802 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4803 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4804 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4805 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4806 12 MB as well - this can be done with
4808 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4810 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4811 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4812 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4813 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4814 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4815 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4816 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4818 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4820 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4821 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4823 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4825 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4827 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4829 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4831 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4833 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
4835 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4836 For example you can do the following
4838 => setenv ethact FEC
4839 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4840 => setenv ethact SCC
4841 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4843 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4844 available network interfaces.
4845 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4847 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
4848 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4849 When set to "once" the network operation will
4850 fail when all the available network interfaces
4851 are tried once without success.
4852 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4855 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
4857 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
4858 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4859 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4860 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4863 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4866 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4867 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4869 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4870 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4872 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4873 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4874 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4875 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4876 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4877 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4878 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4880 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4881 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4882 can happen during a single file transfer before that
4883 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4884 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4885 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4886 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
4888 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4889 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4892 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4893 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4894 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4895 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4896 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4898 The following image location variables contain the location of images
4899 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4900 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4901 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4902 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4903 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4904 flash or offset in NAND flash.
4906 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4907 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
4908 boards use these variables for other purposes.
4910 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
4911 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
4912 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
4913 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
4914 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
4915 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
4917 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4918 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4919 depending the information provided by your boot server:
4921 bootfile - see above
4922 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4923 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4924 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4925 hostname - Target hostname
4927 netmask - Subnet Mask
4928 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4929 serverip - see above
4932 There are two special Environment Variables:
4934 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4935 as type string and/or serial number
4936 ethaddr - Ethernet address
4938 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4939 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4940 once they have been set once.
4943 Further special Environment Variables:
4945 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4946 with the "version" command. This variable is
4947 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4950 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4951 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4954 Callback functions for environment variables:
4955 ---------------------------------------------
4957 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4958 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
4959 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4960 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4961 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4963 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4964 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4966 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4967 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4968 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4969 associations. The list must be in the following format:
4971 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4974 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4975 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4977 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4978 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4979 override any association in the static list. You can define
4980 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4981 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4983 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4984 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
4985 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
4988 Command Line Parsing:
4989 =====================
4991 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4992 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4994 Old, simple command line parser:
4995 --------------------------------
4997 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4998 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4999 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5000 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5002 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5003 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5004 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5009 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5010 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5011 until...do...done, ...
5012 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5013 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5014 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5020 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5021 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5022 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5025 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5026 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5027 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5028 variables are not executed.
5030 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5031 =======================================
5033 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5034 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5035 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5037 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5038 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5039 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5041 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5042 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5043 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5044 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5046 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5047 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5049 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5050 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5053 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5054 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5056 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5057 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5060 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5061 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5062 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5064 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5065 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5066 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5067 The naming convention is as follows:
5068 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5073 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5074 images in two formats:
5076 New uImage format (FIT)
5077 -----------------------
5079 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5080 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5081 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5082 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5088 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5089 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5090 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5092 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5093 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5094 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5095 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5097 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5098 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5099 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5100 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5106 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5107 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5114 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5115 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5118 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5119 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5120 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5121 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5122 serves several purposes:
5124 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5125 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5126 Flash memory footprint)
5128 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5129 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5131 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5132 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5133 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5134 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5135 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5136 software is easier now.
5142 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5143 ---------------------------------------
5145 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5146 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5147 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5150 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5152 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5153 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5154 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5155 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5156 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5158 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5159 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5160 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5164 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5165 -----------------------------
5167 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5168 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5171 Building a Linux Image:
5172 -----------------------
5174 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5175 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5176 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5177 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5178 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5179 100% compatible format.
5183 make TQM850L_defconfig
5188 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5189 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5190 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5192 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5194 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5196 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5197 -R .note -R .comment \
5198 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5200 * compress the binary image:
5204 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5206 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5207 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5208 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5211 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5212 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5213 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5214 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5215 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5216 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5218 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5219 print the header information, or to build new images.
5221 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5222 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5223 checksum verification:
5225 tools/mkimage -l image
5226 -l ==> list image header information
5228 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5229 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5231 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5232 -n name -d data_file image
5233 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5234 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5235 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5236 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5237 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5238 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5239 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5240 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5242 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5243 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5246 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5247 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5249 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5251 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5252 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5253 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5254 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5255 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5256 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5257 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5258 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5259 Load Address: 0x00000000
5260 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5262 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5264 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5265 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5266 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5267 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5268 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5269 Load Address: 0x00000000
5270 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5272 NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5273 speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5274 needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5275 need to be uncompressed:
5277 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5278 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5279 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5280 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5281 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5282 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5283 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5284 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5285 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5286 Load Address: 0x00000000
5287 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5290 Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5291 when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5293 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5294 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5295 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5296 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
5297 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5298 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5299 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5300 Load Address: 0x00000000
5301 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5303 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5304 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5305 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5308 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5309 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5310 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5311 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5314 Installing a Linux Image:
5315 -------------------------
5317 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5318 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5320 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5322 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5323 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5324 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5325 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5328 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5329 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5331 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5337 ## Ready for S-Record download ...

5342 [file transfer complete]
5344 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5347 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5348 this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5349 corruption happened:
5353 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...

5365 The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5366 memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5367 of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5368 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5369 "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5372 => printenv bootargs
5373 bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5375 => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5494 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5495 ------------------------------
5497 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5499 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5500 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5501 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5502 the Standalone Program.
5503 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5504 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5505 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5506 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5507 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5508 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5509 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5511 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5512 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5513 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5514 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5515 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5516 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5518 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5519 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5520 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5521 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5522 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5523 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5525 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5526 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5529 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5530 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5531 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5532 as command interpreter.
5534 Booting the Linux zImage:
5535 -------------------------
5537 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5538 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5539 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5541 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5542 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5543 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5544 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5550 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5551 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5552 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5554 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5559 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5560 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5561 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5565 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5566 ~>examples/hello_world.srec

5573 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5584 Hit any key to exit ...
5586 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5588 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5589 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5590 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5591 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5592 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5593 controlled by the following keys:
5595 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5596 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5597 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5598 q - quit application

5638 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5639 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5640 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5641 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5642 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5643 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5644 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5645 for help with kermit.
5648 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5649 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5651 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5652 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5653 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5659 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5660 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5662 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5663 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5664 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5665 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5666 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5667 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5669 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5671 # ln -s powerpc machine
5672 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5673 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5675 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5676 and U-Boot include files.
5678 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5679 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5680 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5681 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5682 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5685 Implementation Internals:
5686 =========================
5688 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5689 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5690 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5694 Initial Stack, Global Data:
5695 ---------------------------
5697 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5698 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5699 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5700 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5701 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5702 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5703 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5704 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5705 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5706 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5708 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5709 U-Boot mailing list:
5711 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5712 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5713 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5716 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5717 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5718 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5719 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5720 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5721 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5722 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5723 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5725 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5726 is another option for the system designer to use as an
5727 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5728 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5729 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5730 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5733 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5734 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5735 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5736 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5737 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5738 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5739 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5740 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5741 you get the config right.
5746 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5747 code for the initialization procedures:
5749 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5752 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5753 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5754 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5756 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5759 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5760 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5761 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5762 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5763 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5764 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5765 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5766 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5767 reserve for this purpose.
5769 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5770 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5771 GCC's implementation.
5773 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5775 R2: reserved for system use
5776 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5777 R5-R10: parameter passing
5778 R13: small data area pointer
5782 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5783 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5784 going back and forth between asm and C)
5786 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5788 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5789 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5790 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5791 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5792 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5793 624 text + 127 data).
5795 On ARM, the following registers are used:
5797 R0: function argument word/integer result
5798 R1-R3: function argument word
5799 R9: platform specific
5800 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5801 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5802 R12: temporary workspace
5805 R15: program counter
5807 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5809 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5811 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5812 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5814 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5816 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5817 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5819 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5821 R0-R1: argument/return
5823 R15: temporary register for assembler
5824 R16: trampoline register
5825 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5826 R29: global pointer (GP)
5827 R30: link register (LP)
5828 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5829 PC: program counter (PC)
5831 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5833 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5834 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5839 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5840 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5842 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5843 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5844 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5845 physical memory banks.
5847 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5848 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5849 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5850 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5851 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5852 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5853 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5855 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5856 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5858 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5861 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5864 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5870 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5871 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5872 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
5875 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5876 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5877 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5878 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
5881 System Initialization:
5882 ----------------------
5884 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5885 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5886 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
5887 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5888 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5889 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5890 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5891 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5892 the caches and the SIU.
5894 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5895 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5896 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5897 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5898 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5899 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5902 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5903 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5904 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
5905 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5906 contiguous memory starting from 0.
5908 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5909 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5910 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5911 pages, and the final stack is set up.
5913 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5914 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5915 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a

6032 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6035 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6036 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6037 patch actually fixes something.
6039 * For new features: a description of the feature and your

6044 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6045 information and associated file and directory references.
6047 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6048 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6050 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6051 document these in the README file.
6053 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6054 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6055 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6056 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6057 with some other mail clients.
