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

172 Software Configuration:
173 =======================
175 Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
176 rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
178 There are two classes of configuration variables:
180 * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
181 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
184 * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
185 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
186 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
189 Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
190 symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
191 U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
192 allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
196 Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
197 ---------------------------------------------------
199 For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
200 configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
202 Example: For a TQM823L module type:
205 make TQM823L_defconfig
207 Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
208 you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
209 doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
214 U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
215 board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
216 specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
217 run some of U-Boot's tests.
219 See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
222 Board Initialisation Flow:
223 --------------------------
225 This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
226 SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
228 Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
229 more detail later in this file.
231 At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
232 and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
233 may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
234 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
236 Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
237 CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
239 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
240 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
241 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
243 and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
244 limitations of each of these functions are described below.
247 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
248 - no global_data or BSS
249 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
250 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
251 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
253 - this is almost never needed
254 - return normally from this function
257 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
258 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
259 - global_data is available
261 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
262 only stack variables and global_data
264 Non-SPL-specific notes:
265 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
269 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
271 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
272 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
273 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
274 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
277 Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
278 this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
279 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
283 - purpose: main execution, common code
284 - global_data is available
286 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
287 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
289 Non-SPL-specific notes:
290 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
294 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
295 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
296 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
297 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
298 spl_board_init() function containing this call
299 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
303 Configuration Options:
304 ----------------------
306 Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
307 such information is kept in a configuration file
308 "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
310 Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
311 "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
314 Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
315 kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
316 build a config tool - later.
319 The following options need to be configured:
321 - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
323 - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
325 - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
326 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
328 - Marvell Family Member
329 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
330 multiple fs option at one time
331 for marvell soc family
333 - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
337 reference PIT/RTC clock
338 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
341 - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
342 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
343 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
344 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
345 See doc/README.MPC866
347 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350 of relying on the correctness of the configured
351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
356 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
358 Define this option if you want to enable the
359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366 compliance, among other possible reasons.
368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
377 tree nodes for the given platform.
379 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
408 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
409 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
410 required during NOR boot.
412 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
413 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
414 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
416 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
418 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
419 according to the A004510 workaround.
421 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
422 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
423 connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
426 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
427 which is directly connected to the DSP core.
429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
430 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
431 connected to the DSP core.
433 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
434 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
436 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
437 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
438 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
439 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
441 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
442 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
443 time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
446 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
447 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
449 - Generic CPU options:
450 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
451 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
452 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
453 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
454 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
456 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
458 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
459 values is arch specific.
462 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is

495 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board
499 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with
500 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers.
503 Board config to use DDR3L. It can be enabled for SoCs with
507 Board config to use DDR4. It can be enabled for SoCs with

513 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_LE
514 Defines the IFC controller register space as Little Endian
516 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_PBI
517 It enables addition of RCW (Power on reset configuration) in built image.
518 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details
520 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_RCW
521 It adds PBI(pre-boot instructions) commands in u-boot build image.
522 PBI commands can be used to configure SoC before it starts the execution.
523 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details
526 It adds a target to create boot binary having SPL binary in PBI format
527 concatenated with u-boot binary.
529 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_BE
530 Defines the DDR controller register space as Big Endian
532 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_LE
533 Defines the DDR controller register space as Little Endian
535 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY
536 Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the
537 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But
538 it could be different for ARM SoCs.
540 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B
541 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special
542 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape

564 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
567 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
569 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
570 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
572 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
575 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
579 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
581 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
583 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
584 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
586 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
588 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
589 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
590 be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
593 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
595 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
596 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
598 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
600 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
601 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
602 better code density. For ARM architectures that support
603 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
606 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
607 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
608 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
609 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
610 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
611 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
612 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
613 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
615 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
616 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
617 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
618 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
619 set these options unless they apply!
622 Generic timer clock source frequency.
624 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
625 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
626 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
629 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
630 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
631 specific checks, but expect no product checks.
632 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
633 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
634 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
635 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
636 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
639 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
641 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
642 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
643 such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
645 - Linux Kernel Interface:
648 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
649 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
650 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
651 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
652 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
653 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
655 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
656 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
659 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
661 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
662 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
663 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
667 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
668 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
672 * New libfdt-based support
673 * Adds the "fdt" command
674 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
676 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
677 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
678 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
679 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
680 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
681 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
683 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
686 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
688 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
689 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
691 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
693 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
694 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
695 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
700 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
701 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
702 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
703 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
704 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
705 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
707 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
709 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
710 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
711 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
712 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
713 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
714 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
715 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
717 - vxWorks boot parameters:
719 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
720 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
721 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
722 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
724 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
725 the defaults discussed just above.
727 - Cache Configuration:
728 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
729 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
730 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
732 - Cache Configuration for ARM:
733 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
735 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
736 controller register space
741 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
745 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
749 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
750 the clock speed of the UARTs.
754 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
755 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
756 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
758 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
760 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
761 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
764 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
765 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
766 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
767 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
769 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
770 port routines must be defined elsewhere
771 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
774 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
775 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
776 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
778 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
781 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
782 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)

794 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
796 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
798 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
799 linux_logo.h for logo.
800 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
801 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
802 additional board info beside
804 CONFIG_HIDE_LOGO_VERSION
805 do not display bootloader
808 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
809 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
810 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
812 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
813 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
814 environment 'console=serial'.
816 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
817 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
818 the "silent" environment variable. See
819 doc/README.silent for more information.
821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
823 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
827 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
828 Select one of the baudrates listed in
829 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
830 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
832 - Console Rx buffer length
833 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
834 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
835 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
836 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
837 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
840 - Pre-Console Buffer:
841 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
842 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
843 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
844 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
845 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
846 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
847 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
848 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
849 earlier bytes are discarded.
851 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
852 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
854 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
855 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
859 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
860 define a command string that is automatically executed
861 when no character is read on the console interface
862 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
865 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
866 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
867 environment value "bootargs".
869 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
870 The value of these goes into the environment as
871 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
872 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
876 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
877 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
879 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
882 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
883 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
884 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
885 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
886 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
887 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
888 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
889 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
894 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
895 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
896 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
897 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
898 entering interactive mode.
900 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
901 automatically generated or modified. For an example
902 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
903 modified when the user holds down a certain
904 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
907 - Serial Download Echo Mode:
909 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
910 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
911 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
912 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
913 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
914 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
916 - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
918 Select one of the baudrates listed in
919 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
922 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
923 from the build by using the #include files
924 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
925 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

1041 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1042 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1045 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1047 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1048 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1049 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1050 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1051 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1052 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1053 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1054 initial stack and some data.
1057 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1059 - Removal of commands
1060 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1061 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1062 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1063 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1064 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1065 simple boot procedures.
1067 - Regular expression support:
1069 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1070 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1071 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1072 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1076 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1077 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1078 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1079 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1080 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1082 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1083 be done using one of the two options below:
1086 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1087 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1088 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1089 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1090 the global data structure as gd->blob.
1093 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1094 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1095 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1097 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1099 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1100 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1101 still use the individual files if you need something more
1106 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1107 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1108 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1109 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1110 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1111 available, then no further board specific code should
1112 be needed to use it.
1115 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1116 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1117 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1119 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1120 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1123 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1124 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1125 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1126 version as printed by the "version" command.
1127 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1132 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1133 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1136 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1137 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1138 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1139 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
1140 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1141 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1142 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1143 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1144 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
1145 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1146 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1147 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1148 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1151 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1152 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1155 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1157 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1158 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1159 pins supported by a particular chip.
1161 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1162 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1165 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1166 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1167 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1168 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1169 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1170 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1171 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1172 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1174 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1175 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1176 still continue to operate.
1179 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1180 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1181 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1182 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1183 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1184 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1186 - Timestamp Support:
1188 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1189 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1190 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1191 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1193 - Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1194 Zero or more of the following:
1195 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1196 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1197 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1198 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1199 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1200 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1202 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
1204 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1205 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1206 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1209 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1210 board configurations files but used nowhere!
1212 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1213 be performed by calling the function
1214 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1215 which has to be defined in a board specific file
1220 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1225 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1226 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1227 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1228 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1230 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1231 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1235 At the moment only there is only support for the
1236 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1237 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1239 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1240 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1241 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1242 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1244 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1246 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1247 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1249 - NETWORK Support (PCI):
1251 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1254 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1255 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1256 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1258 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1259 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1260 example with the "sspi" command.
1263 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1264 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
1267 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips.
1268 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM
1269 write routine for first time initialisation.
1272 Support for Digital 2114x chips.
1273 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific
1274 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611).
1277 Support for National dp83815 chips.
1280 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips.
1282 - NETWORK Support (other):
1284 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC
1285 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC.
1288 Define this to use reduced MII inteface
1290 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET
1291 If this defined, the driver is quiet.
1292 The driver doen't show link status messages.
1294 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC
1295 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device
1298 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips.

1307 Define this to hold the physical address
1308 of the device (I/O space)
1310 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT
1311 Define this if data bus is 32 bits
1313 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS

1321 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs.
1324 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet
1326 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
1327 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1328 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1329 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1330 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1331 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1332 control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1333 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1336 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips
1339 Define this to hold the physical address
1340 of the device (I/O space)

1343 Define this if data bus is 32 bits
1345 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT
1346 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor
1347 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit
1348 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT.
1351 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller
1353 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT
1354 Define the number of ports to be used
1356 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR
1357 Define the ETH PHY's address

1381 Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 I2C devices.
1382 Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and I2C.
1384 CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_SPI
1385 Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 SPI devices.
1386 Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and SPI.
1388 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI
1389 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support.
1392 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device
1393 per system is supported at this time.
1395 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS
1396 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped
1397 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
1401 Add tpm monitor functions.
1402 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also
1403 provides monitor access to authorized functions.
1406 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1407 functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1408 Requires support for a TPM device.
1410 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1411 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1412 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1415 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1416 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1417 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1418 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1419 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1422 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1424 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1426 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1430 for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1431 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
1432 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100
1433 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
1434 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
1435 May be defined to allow interrupt polling
1436 instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1438 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1439 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1441 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1442 HW module registers.
1445 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1446 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1447 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1448 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1449 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1450 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1451 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1452 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1453 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1455 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1456 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1457 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1458 might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1461 Define this to build a UDC device
1464 Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1465 talk to the UDC device
1468 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1469 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1470 int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1471 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1472 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1475 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1476 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1480 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1481 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1482 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1484 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1485 Derive USB clock from brgclk
1486 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1488 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1489 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1490 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1491 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1492 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1493 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1495 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1496 Define this string as the name of your company for
1497 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1499 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1500 Define this string as the name of your product
1501 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1503 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1504 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1505 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1506 to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1507 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1509 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1510 Define this as the unique Product ID
1512 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1514 - ULPI Layer Support:
1515 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1516 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1517 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1518 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1519 viewport is supported.
1520 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1521 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1522 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1523 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1524 the appropriate value in Hz.
1527 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1528 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1529 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1530 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1531 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1532 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1535 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1537 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1538 Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1541 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1544 Enable the generic MMC driver
1546 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1547 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1549 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1550 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1551 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1553 - USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1554 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1555 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1558 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1559 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1560 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1561 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1564 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1567 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1570 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1571 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1572 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1573 one that would help mostly the developer.
1575 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1576 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1577 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1578 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1579 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1581 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1582 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1583 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1584 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1585 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1586 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1588 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1589 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1590 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1591 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1593 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1594 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1595 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1596 sending again an USB request to the device.
1598 - USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1599 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1600 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1603 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1604 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1605 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1606 used on Android devices.
1607 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1609 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1610 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1611 image format header.
1613 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1614 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1615 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1618 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1619 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1620 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1621 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1623 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1624 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1625 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1626 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1628 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1629 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1630 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1631 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1633 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1634 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1635 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1636 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1637 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1638 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1639 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1640 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1642 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1643 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1645 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1646 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1647 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1649 - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1651 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1653 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1654 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1655 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1657 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1660 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1661 file in FAT formatted partition.
1663 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1664 user to write files to FAT.
1666 CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1669 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1670 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1673 - FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1674 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1676 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1677 a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1680 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1684 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1685 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1686 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1687 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1693 Define this to enable video support (for output to
1696 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1698 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1700 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1701 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1702 video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1703 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1706 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1707 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1709 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1710 Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
1712 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1713 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1714 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
1715 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
1716 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
1717 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
1718 -------------+---------------------------------------------
1719 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1721 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1722 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1725 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1726 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1727 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1728 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1731 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1732 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1733 support, and should also define these other macros:
1739 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1740 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1742 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1744 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1745 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1746 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1747 description of this variable.
1749 - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
1751 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1752 display); also select one of the supported displays
1753 by defining one of these:
1757 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1759 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1761 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1763 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1765 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1766 Active, color, single scan.
1768 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1770 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1771 Active, color, single scan.
1775 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1776 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1778 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1780 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1781 Active, color, single scan.
1785 HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1786 Active, color, single scan.
1790 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1792 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
1796 320x240. Black & white.
1798 Normally display is black on white background; define
1799 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1801 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1803 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1804 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1805 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1806 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1807 a per-section basis.
1809 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1811 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1812 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1813 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1818 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1819 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1820 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1821 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1823 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1824 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1825 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1826 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1827 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1828 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1829 1 = 90 degree rotation
1830 2 = 180 degree rotation
1831 3 = 270 degree rotation
1833 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1834 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1838 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1842 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1843 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1845 - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1847 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1848 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1849 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1850 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1851 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1852 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1853 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1854 loaded very quickly after power-on.
1856 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1858 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1859 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1860 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1861 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1862 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1863 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1864 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1865 there is no need to set this option.
1867 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1869 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1870 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1871 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1872 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1873 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1874 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1877 setenv splashpos m,m
1878 => image at center of screen
1880 setenv splashpos 30,20
1881 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1883 setenv splashpos -10,m
1884 => vertically centered image
1885 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1887 - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1889 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1890 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1891 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1893 - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1895 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1896 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1899 - Do compressing for memory range:
1902 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1903 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1905 - Compression support:
1908 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1912 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1913 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1914 compressed images are supported.
1916 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1917 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1922 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1925 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1926 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1929 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1931 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1932 and Literal pos bits.
1934 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1935 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1936 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1937 a very small buffer.
1939 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1940 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1941 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1945 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1951 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1953 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1955 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1959 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1960 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1962 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1964 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1965 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1966 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1967 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1969 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1971 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1972 command issued before MII status register can be read
1977 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1978 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1979 determined through e.g. bootp.
1980 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
1982 - Server IP address:
1985 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1986 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1987 (Environment variable "serverip")
1989 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1991 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1992 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1994 - Gateway IP address:
1997 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1998 default router where packets to other networks are
2000 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2005 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2006 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2007 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2008 forwarded through a router.
2009 (Environment variable "netmask")
2011 - Multicast TFTP Mode:
2014 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2015 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
2016 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
2017 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2020 - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2021 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2023 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2024 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2025 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2026 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2027 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2028 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2029 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2030 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2031 following delays are inserted then:
2033 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2034 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2035 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2037 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2039 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2041 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2042 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2043 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2044 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2045 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2046 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2047 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2048 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2049 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2050 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2051 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2052 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2053 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2054 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2055 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2057 - DHCP Advanced Options:
2058 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2059 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2061 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2062 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2063 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2064 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2065 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2066 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2069 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2070 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2071 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2072 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2073 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2075 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2076 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2078 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2079 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2080 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2081 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2084 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2085 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2086 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2087 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2088 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2089 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2090 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2093 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2094 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2095 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2096 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2097 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2098 option 12 to the DHCP server.
2100 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2102 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2103 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2104 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2105 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2106 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2107 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2108 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2109 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2110 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2111 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2114 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2115 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2116 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2117 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2118 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2120 See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2123 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2125 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2127 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2129 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2134 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2135 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2136 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2138 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2140 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2141 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2145 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2149 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2153 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2155 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2157 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2158 device in .1 of milliwatts.
2160 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2162 A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2164 - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2166 Several configurations allow to display the current
2167 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2168 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2169 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2170 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2171 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2172 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2178 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2179 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2180 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2181 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2183 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2184 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2185 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2186 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2187 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2188 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2190 - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2192 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2193 on those systems that support this (optional)
2194 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2196 - I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2198 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2199 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2200 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2201 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2202 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line

2341 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2342 Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you

2344 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2347 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2348 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2349 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2352 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2353 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2354 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2357 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2358 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2359 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2360 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2361 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2363 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2364 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2365 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2366 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2367 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2368 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2369 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2370 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2371 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2375 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux

2382 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2383 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2385 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2387 - Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2389 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2390 provides the following compelling advantages:
2392 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2393 - approved multibus support
2394 - better i2c mux support
2396 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2398 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2399 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2400 for the selected CPU.
2402 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2403 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2404 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2405 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2406 command line interface.
2408 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2410 There are several other quantities that must also be
2411 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2413 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2414 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2415 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2416 the CPU's i2c node address).
2418 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2419 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2420 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2421 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2422 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2424 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2426 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2427 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2428 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2429 commands until the slave device responds.
2431 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2433 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2434 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2435 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2439 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2440 controller or configure ports.
2442 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
2446 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2447 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2448 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2452 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2453 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2456 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2460 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2461 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2464 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2468 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2471 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2475 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2476 is false, it clears it (low).
2478 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2479 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
2480 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2484 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2485 is false, it clears it (low).
2487 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2488 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
2489 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2493 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2494 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
2495 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2498 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
2500 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2502 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2503 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2504 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2505 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2507 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2508 the generic GPIO functions.
2510 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2512 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2513 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2514 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2515 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2516 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2517 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2518 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2519 is run early in the boot sequence.
2521 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2523 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2524 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2525 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2526 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2527 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2528 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2529 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2530 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2532 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2534 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2535 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2536 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2538 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2540 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2541 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2542 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2543 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2545 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2547 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2548 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2549 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2550 a 1D array of device addresses
2553 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2554 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2556 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2558 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2559 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2561 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2563 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2565 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2566 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2568 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2570 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2571 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2573 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2575 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2576 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2578 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2580 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2581 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2582 specified DTT device.
2584 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2586 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2587 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2588 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2589 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2590 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2591 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2594 - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
2596 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2597 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2598 D/As on the SACSng board)
2602 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2603 only SH7757 is supported.
2607 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2608 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2609 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2610 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2611 defined, the board configuration must define several
2612 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2613 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2617 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2618 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2619 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2620 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
2621 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2625 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2626 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2628 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2629 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2630 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
2632 - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2634 Enables FPGA subsystem.
2636 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2638 Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2641 CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2643 Enables support for FPGA family.
2644 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2648 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2650 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2652 Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2654 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2656 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2658 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2660 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2663 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2665 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2667 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2669 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2670 status by the configuration function. This option
2671 will require a board or device specific function to
2676 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2677 configuration driver.
2679 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2680 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2682 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2684 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2685 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2686 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2687 indicated a CRC error).
2689 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2691 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2692 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2693 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2696 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2698 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2699 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2701 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2703 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2706 - Configuration Management:
2709 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2710 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2711 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2712 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2717 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2718 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2720 - Vendor Parameter Protection:
2722 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2723 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2724 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2725 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2726 protects these variables from casual modification by
2727 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2728 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2729 change this behaviour:
2731 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2732 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2733 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2736 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2737 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2738 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2739 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2740 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2743 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2744 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2745 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2746 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2751 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2752 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2753 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2754 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2755 this default value by defining an environment
2756 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2757 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2758 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2759 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2760 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2761 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2762 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2764 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2767 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2768 either, which results in a memory region that will
2769 not be affected by reboots.
2771 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2772 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2773 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2774 following board configurations are known to be
2777 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2778 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2781 - Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2782 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2783 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2784 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2785 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2786 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2787 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2792 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2793 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2794 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2795 system where you want the system to reboot
2796 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2797 useful during development since you can try to debug
2798 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2800 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2802 This variable defines the number of retries for
2803 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2804 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2805 default value of 5 is used.
2809 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2813 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2814 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2815 try longer timeout such as
2816 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2818 - Command Interpreter:
2819 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2821 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2823 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2825 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2826 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2827 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2831 In the current implementation, the local variables
2832 space and global environment variables space are
2833 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2834 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2835 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2836 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2837 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2839 Global environment variables are those you use
2840 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2841 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2842 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2844 To store commands and special characters in a
2845 variable, please use double quotation marks
2846 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2847 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2850 - Command Line Editing and History:
2851 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2853 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2854 command line input operations
2856 - Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2857 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2859 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2860 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2861 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2864 - Default Environment:
2865 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2867 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2868 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2869 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2871 For example, place something like this in your
2872 board's config file:
2874 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2878 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2879 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2880 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2881 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2882 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2883 You better know what you are doing here.
2885 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2886 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2887 the environment like the "source" command or the
2890 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2892 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2893 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2894 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2896 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2904 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2906 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2907 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2908 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2910 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2912 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2913 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2914 that so that the environment is not available until
2915 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2916 this is instead controlled by the value of
2917 /config/load-environment.
2919 - Parallel Flash support:
2922 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2923 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2924 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2927 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2928 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2929 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2930 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2932 - DataFlash Support:
2933 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2935 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2936 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2939 - Serial Flash support
2942 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2943 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2945 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2946 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2949 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2950 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2951 flash is present on the system.
2953 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2954 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2955 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2956 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2960 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2963 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2965 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2966 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2967 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2969 - SystemACE Support:
2972 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2973 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2974 of the chip must also be defined in the
2975 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2977 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2978 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2980 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2981 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2983 - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2986 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2987 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2988 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2989 number generator is used.
2991 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2992 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2993 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2995 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2996 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2997 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2998 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2999 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3000 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3001 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3006 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3007 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3011 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3014 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3015 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3016 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3017 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3018 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3019 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3020 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3021 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3022 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3023 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3024 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3025 is performed in hardware.
3027 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3028 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3030 - Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3031 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3032 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3033 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3036 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3037 a boot from specific media.
3039 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3040 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3041 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3042 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3043 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3045 - bootcount support:
3046 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3048 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3049 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3052 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3054 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3056 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3057 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3058 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3059 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3060 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3061 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3062 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3064 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3066 - Show boot progress:
3067 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3069 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3070 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3071 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3072 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3073 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3074 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3230 - legacy image format:
3231 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3232 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3235 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3237 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3238 disable the legacy image format
3240 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3241 enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3243 - FIT image support:
3244 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3245 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3246 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3249 TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3250 and move it to Kconfig
3252 - Standalone program support:
3253 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3255 This option defines a board specific value for the
3256 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3257 overwriting the architecture dependent default
3260 - Frame Buffer Address:
3263 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3264 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3265 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3266 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3267 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3268 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3269 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3270 configured panel size.
3272 Please see board_init_f function.
3274 - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3276 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3277 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3279 These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3280 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3282 - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3285 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3286 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3288 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3290 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3291 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3296 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3297 with the UBI flash translation layer
3299 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3301 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3303 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3304 warnings and errors enabled.
3307 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3308 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3309 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3310 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3311 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3312 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3314 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3315 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3316 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3317 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3318 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3322 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3323 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3324 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3325 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3326 flash), this value is ignored.
3328 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3329 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3330 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3331 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3332 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3333 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3335 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3336 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3337 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3338 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3339 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3340 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3341 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3346 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3347 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3348 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3349 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3350 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3351 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3352 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3353 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3354 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3355 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3356 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3357 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3359 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3360 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3364 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3365 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3371 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3372 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3374 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3376 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3378 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves
3379 warnings and errors enabled.
3383 Enable building of SPL globally.
3386 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3388 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3389 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3390 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3391 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3392 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3393 must not be both defined at the same time.
3396 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3397 linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3398 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3401 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3402 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3404 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3405 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
3406 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3408 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3409 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3411 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3412 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3413 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3414 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3415 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3416 must not be both defined at the same time.
3419 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3421 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3422 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3423 loaded does not have a signature.
3424 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3425 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3427 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3428 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3429 and thus should be skipped silently.
3431 CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3432 When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3433 if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3435 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3436 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3437 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
3440 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3441 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3442 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3443 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3444 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3446 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3447 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3449 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3450 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework
3451 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3452 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3455 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3456 See also: doc/README.falcon
3458 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3459 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3460 about the running system.
3462 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3463 Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3465 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR,
3466 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS,
3467 Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3468 when the MMC is being used in raw mode.
3470 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION

3479 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3480 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3481 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3484 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3485 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3488 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3489 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3491 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3492 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3493 from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3495 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3496 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3497 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3499 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3500 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3501 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3502 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3503 loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3505 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3506 Avoid SPL relocation
3508 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3509 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
3510 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3512 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3513 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3516 Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3518 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3519 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3520 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3523 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3526 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3527 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3528 if you need to save space.
3530 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3531 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3534 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3535 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3536 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3537 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3538 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3539 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3542 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3543 Add support NAND boot
3545 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3546 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3548 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3549 Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3551 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3552 Size of image to load
3554 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3555 Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3557 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3558 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3559 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3561 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3562 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3563 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3565 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3566 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3569 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3570 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3571 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3572 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3573 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3576 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3577 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3578 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3580 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3581 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3582 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3583 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3584 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3588 Enable building of TPL globally.
3591 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3592 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3593 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3594 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3595 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3597 - Interrupt support (PPC):
3599 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3600 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3601 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3602 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3603 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3604 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3605 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3606 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3607 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3608 general timer_interrupt().
3611 Board initialization settings:
3612 ------------------------------
3614 During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3615 to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3616 before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3617 following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3618 architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3619 typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3621 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3622 - CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3623 - CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3624 - CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3626 Configuration Settings:
3627 -----------------------
3629 - CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3630 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3632 - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3633 undefine this when you're short of memory.
3635 - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3636 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3638 - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3639 prompt for user input.
3641 - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
3643 - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
3645 - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3647 - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3648 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3651 - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3652 List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3654 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3655 Suppress display of console information at boot.
3657 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3658 If the board specific function
3659 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3660 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3661 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3663 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3664 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3666 - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3667 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3669 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3670 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3673 - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3674 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3676 - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3677 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3678 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3680 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3681 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3682 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3683 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3684 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3685 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3686 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3687 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3689 - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3690 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3691 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3692 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3693 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3694 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3695 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3696 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3697 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3698 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3700 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3701 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3704 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3705 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3706 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3707 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3710 - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3711 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3713 - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3714 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3716 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3717 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3719 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3720 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3721 make config files to be same as the text base address
3722 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3723 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3725 - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3726 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3727 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3728 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3731 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3732 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3734 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3735 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3736 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3737 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3738 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3741 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3742 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3743 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3744 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3745 U-Boot relocates itself.
3747 - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3748 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3749 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3750 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3752 - CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3753 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3754 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3755 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3756 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3757 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3758 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3759 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3760 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3761 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3762 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3763 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3764 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3765 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3766 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3767 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3769 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3771 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3772 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3773 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3774 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3775 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3777 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3778 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3779 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3780 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3781 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3782 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3783 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3784 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
3785 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3786 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3787 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3789 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3790 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3791 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3794 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3795 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3796 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3798 - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3799 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3800 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3802 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3803 Max number of Flash memory banks
3805 - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3806 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3808 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3809 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3811 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3812 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3814 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3815 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3817 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3818 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3820 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3821 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3822 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3824 - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3826 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3827 without this option such a download has to be
3828 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3829 copy from RAM to flash.
3831 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3832 you can check if the download worked before you erase
3833 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3834 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3835 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3837 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3838 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3839 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3841 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3842 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3843 in the drivers directory
3845 - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3846 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3847 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3850 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3851 Use buffered writes to flash.
3853 - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3854 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3857 - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3858 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3859 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3860 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3861 optionally available.
3863 - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3864 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3865 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3866 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3868 - CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3869 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3870 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3871 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3872 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3873 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3874 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3875 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3877 - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3878 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3879 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3880 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3881 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3882 on high Ethernet traffic.
3883 Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3885 - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3887 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3888 internally to store the environment settings. The default
3889 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3890 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3891 lib/hashtable.c for details.
3893 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3894 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3895 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3896 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3897 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3898 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3900 The format of the list is:
3901 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3902 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3903 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3904 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3907 The type attributes are:
3908 s - String (default)
3911 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3915 The access attributes are:
3921 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3922 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3923 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3925 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3926 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3927 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3928 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3929 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3932 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3933 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3934 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3936 - CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3937 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3940 - CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3941 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3942 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3943 the value can be calculated on a given board.
3946 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3947 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3948 building U-Boot to enable this.
3950 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3951 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3952 following configurations:
3954 - CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3956 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3957 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3959 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3961 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3963 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3964 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3965 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3966 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3967 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3968 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3969 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3970 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3971 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3972 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3973 between U-Boot and the environment.
3975 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3977 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3978 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3979 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3980 for this sector is given here.
3982 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3986 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3987 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3990 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3992 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3995 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3996 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4001 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4002 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4003 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4004 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4006 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4007 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4008 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4009 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4010 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4011 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4012 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4013 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4014 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4016 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4017 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4019 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4020 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4021 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4022 a "saveenv" operation.
4024 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4025 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4029 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4031 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4032 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4038 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4039 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4040 can just be read and written to, without any special
4043 BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4044 in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4045 console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4048 Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4049 environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4050 keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4051 to save the current settings.
4054 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4056 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4057 device and a driver for it.
4059 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4062 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4063 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4065 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4066 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4067 The default address is zero.
4069 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4070 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4072 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4073 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4074 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4075 would require six bits.
4077 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4078 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4079 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
4081 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4082 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4083 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4085 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4086 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4087 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4088 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4089 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4092 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4093 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4094 in the chip address.
4096 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4097 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4099 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4100 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4101 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4103 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4104 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4105 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4106 EEPROM. For example:
4108 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
4110 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4111 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4113 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4115 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4116 want to use for the environment.
4118 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4122 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4123 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4124 at the specified address.
4126 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4128 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4129 want to use for the environment.
4131 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4134 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4135 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4136 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4138 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4140 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4142 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4144 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4145 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4146 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4147 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4148 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4150 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4151 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4153 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4155 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4157 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4161 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4163 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4165 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4166 want to use for the local device's environment.
4171 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4172 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4173 local device can get the environment from remote memory
4174 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4176 BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4177 "saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4178 environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4179 but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4181 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4183 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4184 for the environment.
4186 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4189 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4190 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4191 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4193 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4195 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4196 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4197 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4198 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4199 aligned to an erase block boundary.
4201 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4203 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4204 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4205 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4206 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4207 the range to be avoided.
4209 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4211 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4212 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4213 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4214 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4215 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4217 - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4219 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4220 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4221 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4223 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4225 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4226 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4227 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4229 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4231 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4233 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4235 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4238 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4240 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4241 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4242 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4244 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4245 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4247 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4248 when storing the env in UBI.
4250 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4251 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4253 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4255 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4257 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4259 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4262 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4263 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4266 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4267 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4269 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4270 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4271 partition table then means device D.
4275 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4279 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4281 - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4283 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4286 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4288 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4290 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4292 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4293 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4294 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4296 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4299 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4300 area within the specified MMC device.
4302 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4303 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4304 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4305 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4306 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4307 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4308 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4310 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4311 MMC sector boundary.
4313 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4315 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4316 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4317 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4318 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4320 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4321 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4323 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4324 an MMC sector boundary.
4326 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4328 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4329 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4332 - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4334 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4335 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4336 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4337 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4338 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4339 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4340 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4342 Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4343 has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4344 created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4345 until then to read environment variables.
4347 The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4348 is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4349 with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4350 necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4351 "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4352 have any device yet where we could complain.]
4354 Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4355 the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4356 use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4358 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4359 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4361 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4362 also needs to be defined.
4364 - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4365 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4367 - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4368 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4369 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4370 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4371 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4372 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4374 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4375 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4376 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4379 - CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4380 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4381 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4384 - CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4385 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4386 build system checks that the actual size does not
4389 Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4390 ---------------------------------------------------
4392 - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4393 Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4395 - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4396 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4398 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4399 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4400 the IMMR register after a reset.
4402 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4403 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4406 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4407 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4408 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4410 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4411 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4413 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4414 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4415 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
4416 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
4417 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4418 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4419 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4421 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4422 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4424 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4425 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4426 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
4427 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4428 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4430 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4431 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4432 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4433 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4435 - CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4436 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4437 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4439 - Floppy Disk Support:
4440 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4442 the default drive number (default value 0)
4444 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4446 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4449 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4451 defines the offset of register from address. It
4452 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4453 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4455 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4456 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4459 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4460 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4461 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4462 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4466 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4467 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4468 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4469 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4470 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4473 - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4474 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4475 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4477 - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4479 Start address of memory area that can be used for
4480 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4481 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4482 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4483 will become available only after programming the
4484 memory controller and running certain initialization
4487 U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4488 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4489 - MPC824X: data cache
4490 - PPC4xx: data cache
4492 - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4494 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4495 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4496 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4497 data is located at the end of the available space
4498 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4499 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4500 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4501 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4504 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4505 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4506 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4507 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4508 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4558 - CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4559 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4560 wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4561 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4563 - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)

4577 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4579 - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4580 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4583 - CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4584 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4585 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4586 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4587 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4588 by coreboot or similar.
4590 - CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4591 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4594 Chip has SRIO or not
4597 Board has SRIO 1 port available
4600 Board has SRIO 2 port available

4615 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4617 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4618 Example of drivers that use it:
4619 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4620 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4622 - CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4623 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4624 a default value will be used.
4627 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4628 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4631 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4633 - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4634 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4635 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4636 to something your driver can deal with.
4638 - CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4639 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4640 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4641 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4642 header files or board specific files.
4644 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4645 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4647 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4648 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4650 - CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4651 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4653 - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4654 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4655 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4657 - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4658 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4660 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4661 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4662 to the given FEC; i. e.
4663 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4664 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4666 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4668 - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4669 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4670 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4673 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4674 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4675 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4677 - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4678 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4681 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4683 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4684 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4688 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4689 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4692 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4697 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4699 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4700 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4702 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4703 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4705 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4706 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4707 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4708 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4709 relocate itself into RAM.
4711 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4712 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4713 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4714 these initializations itself.
4716 - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4717 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4718 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4719 instruction cache) is still performed.
4722 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4723 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4724 compiling a NAND SPL.
4727 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4728 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4729 It is loaded by the SPL.
4731 - CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4732 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4733 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4734 previous 4k of the .text section.
4736 - CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4737 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4738 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4739 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4740 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4741 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4742 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4743 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4745 - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4746 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4747 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4748 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4749 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4751 - CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4752 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4753 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4756 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4758 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4760 - CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4761 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4763 - CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4764 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4765 driver that uses this:
4766 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4768 Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4769 -----------------------------------
4771 The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4772 loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4773 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4774 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4777 - CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4778 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4779 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4782 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4783 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
4784 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4787 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4788 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4789 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4790 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4791 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4793 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4794 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4795 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4796 virtual address in NOR flash.
4798 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4799 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4800 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4802 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4803 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4804 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4806 - CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4807 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4808 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4809 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4810 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4811 master's memory space.
4813 Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4814 ---------------------------------------------------------
4815 The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4817 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4818 are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4821 - CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4822 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4824 Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4825 -------------------------------------------
4826 The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4827 "Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4828 This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4830 - CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4831 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4836 In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4837 process have to be set to a fixed value.
4839 This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4840 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4841 option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4843 SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4845 Building the Software:
4846 ======================
4848 Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4849 and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4850 all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4851 (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4852 recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4853 which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4855 If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4856 have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4857 you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4858 Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4859 necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4861 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4862 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
4864 Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4865 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4866 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4867 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4869 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4871 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4872 be executed on computers running Windows.
4874 U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4875 sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4880 where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4881 rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4883 Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4884 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4885 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4886 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4887 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4889 make TQM823L_defconfig
4890 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4892 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4893 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4898 Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4899 images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4901 - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4902 - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4903 - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4905 By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4906 in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4907 this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4909 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4911 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4912 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4913 make O=/tmp/build all
4915 2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4917 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4922 Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4926 Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4927 for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4931 If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4932 to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4935 1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4936 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4937 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
4938 2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4940 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4941 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4942 4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
4943 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4944 to be installed on your target system.
4945 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4946 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4949 Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4950 ==============================================================
4952 If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4953 or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4954 provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4955 the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4956 official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4958 But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4959 cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4960 the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4961 just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4962 configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4963 will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4967 See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

5027 Environment Variables:
5028 ======================
5030 U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5031 can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5033 Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5034 "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5035 without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5036 environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5037 working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5038 environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5040 Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5042 List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5044 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5046 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5048 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5050 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5052 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
5054 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5055 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5056 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5057 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5058 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5059 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5060 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5063 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5064 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5065 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5066 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5067 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5068 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5071 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5072 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5073 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5074 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5075 environment variable.
5077 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5078 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5079 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5081 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5082 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5083 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5084 load any image using TFTP
5086 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5087 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5088 be automatically started (by internally calling
5091 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5092 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5093 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5094 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5097 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5098 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5099 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5100 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5101 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5102 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5103 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5104 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5105 access it during the boot procedure.
5107 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5108 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5109 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5110 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5111 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5112 must be accessible by the kernel.
5114 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5115 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5118 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5119 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5120 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5121 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5122 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5124 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5125 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5126 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5127 is usually what you want since it allows for
5128 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5129 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5130 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5131 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5132 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5133 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5134 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5136 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5137 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5138 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5139 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5140 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5141 12 MB as well - this can be done with
5143 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5145 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5146 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5147 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5148 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5149 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5150 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5151 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5153 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5155 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5156 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5158 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5160 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5162 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5164 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5166 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5168 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
5170 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5171 For example you can do the following
5173 => setenv ethact FEC
5174 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5175 => setenv ethact SCC
5176 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5178 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5179 available network interfaces.
5180 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5182 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
5183 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5184 When set to "once" the network operation will
5185 fail when all the available network interfaces
5186 are tried once without success.
5187 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5190 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
5192 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5193 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5194 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5195 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5198 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5201 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5202 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5204 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5205 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5207 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5208 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5209 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5210 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5211 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5212 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5213 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5215 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5216 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5217 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5218 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5219 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5220 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5221 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5223 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5224 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5227 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5228 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5229 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5230 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5231 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5233 The following image location variables contain the location of images
5234 used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5235 not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5236 variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5237 server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5238 loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5239 flash or offset in NAND flash.
5241 *Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5242 boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5243 boards use these variables for other purposes.
5245 Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
5246 ----- --------- ----------- --------------
5247 u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
5248 Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
5249 device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
5250 ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
5252 The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5253 updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5254 depending the information provided by your boot server:
5256 bootfile - see above
5257 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5258 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5259 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5260 hostname - Target hostname
5262 netmask - Subnet Mask
5263 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5264 serverip - see above
5267 There are two special Environment Variables:
5269 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5270 as type string and/or serial number
5271 ethaddr - Ethernet address
5273 These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5274 the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5275 once they have been set once.
5278 Further special Environment Variables:
5280 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5281 with the "version" command. This variable is
5282 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5285 Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5286 only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5289 Callback functions for environment variables:
5290 ---------------------------------------------
5292 For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5293 when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
5294 be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5295 deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5296 effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5298 The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5299 U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5301 These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5302 static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5303 in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5304 associations. The list must be in the following format:
5306 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5309 If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5310 Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5312 Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5313 with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5314 override any association in the static list. You can define
5315 CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5316 ".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5318 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5319 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5320 the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5323 Command Line Parsing:
5324 =====================
5326 There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5327 the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5329 Old, simple command line parser:
5330 --------------------------------
5332 - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5333 - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5334 - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5335 - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5337 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5338 - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5339 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5344 - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5345 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5346 until...do...done, ...
5347 - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5348 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5349 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5355 (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5356 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5357 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5360 (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5361 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5362 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5363 variables are not executed.
5365 Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5366 =======================================
5368 Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5369 such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5370 "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5372 Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5373 MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5374 "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5376 If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5377 in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5378 ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5379 variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5381 o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5382 environment, the SROM's address is used.
5384 o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5385 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5388 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5389 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5391 o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5392 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5395 o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5396 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5397 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5399 If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5400 will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
5401 may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5402 The naming convention is as follows:
5403 "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5408 U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5409 images in two formats:
5411 New uImage format (FIT)
5412 -----------------------
5414 Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5415 to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5416 components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5417 SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5423 Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5424 preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5425 details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5427 * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5428 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5429 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5430 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5432 * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5433 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5434 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5435 * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5441 The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5442 and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5449 Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5450 easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5453 U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5454 special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5455 "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5456 instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5457 serves several purposes:
5459 - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5460 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5461 Flash memory footprint)
5463 - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5464 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5466 - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5467 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5468 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5469 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5470 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5471 software is easier now.
5477 Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5478 ---------------------------------------
5480 U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5481 configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5482 (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5485 But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5487 Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5488 include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5489 Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5490 and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5491 as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5493 Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5494 If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5495 is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5499 Configuring the Linux kernel:
5500 -----------------------------
5502 No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5503 device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5506 Building a Linux Image:
5507 -----------------------
5509 With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5510 not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5511 "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5512 U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5513 which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5514 100% compatible format.
5518 make TQM850L_defconfig
5523 The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5524 encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5525 CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5527 * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5529 * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5531 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5532 -R .note -R .comment \
5533 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5535 * compress the binary image:
5539 * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5541 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5542 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5543 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
5546 The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5547 with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5548 combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5549 byte header containing information about target architecture,
5550 operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5551 stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5553 "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5554 print the header information, or to build new images.
5556 In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5557 contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5558 checksum verification:
5560 tools/mkimage -l image
5561 -l ==> list image header information
5563 The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5564 from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5566 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5567 -n name -d data_file image
5568 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5569 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5570 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5571 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5572 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5573 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5574 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5575 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5577 Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5578 address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5581 - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5582 - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5584 So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5586 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5587 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5588 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5589 > examples/uImage.TQM850L
5590 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5591 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5592 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5593 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5594 Load Address: 0x00000000
5595 Entry Point: 0x00000000
5597 To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5599 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5600 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5601 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5602 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)

5638 The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5639 option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5640 option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5643 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5644 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5645 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5646 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5649 Installing a Linux Image:
5650 -------------------------
5652 To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5653 you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5655 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5657 The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5658 image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5659 address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5660 specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5663 Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5664 TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5666 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF

5682 You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;

5684 corruption happened:

5703 parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the

5829 More About U-Boot Image Types:
5830 ------------------------------
5832 U-Boot supports the following image types:
5834 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5835 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5836 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5837 the Standalone Program.
5838 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5839 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5840 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5841 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5842 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5843 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5844 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5846 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5847 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5848 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5849 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5850 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5851 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5853 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5854 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5855 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5856 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5857 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5858 a multiple of 4 bytes).
5860 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5861 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5864 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5865 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5866 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5867 as command interpreter.
5869 Booting the Linux zImage:
5870 -------------------------
5872 On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5873 using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5874 as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5876 Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5877 kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5878 address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5879 format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5885 One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5886 run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5887 U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5889 Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5894 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5895 application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5896 It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5900 ## Ready for S-Record download ...
5901 ~>examples/hello_world.srec

5908 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5919 Hit any key to exit ...
5921 ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5923 Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5924 handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5925 Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5926 The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5927 character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5928 controlled by the following keys:
5930 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5931 b - enable interrupts and start timer
5932 e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5933 q - quit application

5973 Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5974 "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5975 consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5976 Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5977 especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5978 use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
5979 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5980 for help with kermit.
5983 Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5984 configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5986 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5987 X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
5988 Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
5994 Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5995 (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5997 Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5998 NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5999 need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6000 Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6001 attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6002 missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6004 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6006 # ln -s powerpc machine
6007 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6008 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6010 Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6011 and U-Boot include files.
6013 Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6014 stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6015 proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6016 tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6017 meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6020 Implementation Internals:
6021 =========================
6023 The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6024 implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6025 inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6029 Initial Stack, Global Data:
6030 ---------------------------
6032 The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6033 starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6034 system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6035 This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6036 is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6037 at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6038 options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6039 models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6040 MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6041 locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6043 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6044 U-Boot mailing list:
6046 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6047 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6048 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6051 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6052 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6053 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6054 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6055 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6056 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6057 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6058 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6060 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6061 is another option for the system designer to use as an
6062 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6063 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6064 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6065 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6068 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6069 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6070 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6071 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6072 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6073 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6074 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6075 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6076 you get the config right.
6081 It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6082 code for the initialization procedures:
6084 * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6087 * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6088 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6089 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6091 * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6094 Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6095 normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6096 turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6097 simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6098 functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6099 functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6100 the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6101 place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6102 reserve for this purpose.
6104 When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6105 relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6106 GCC's implementation.
6108 For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6110 R2: reserved for system use
6111 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6112 R5-R10: parameter passing
6113 R13: small data area pointer
6117 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6118 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6119 going back and forth between asm and C)
6121 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6123 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6124 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6125 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6126 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6127 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6128 624 text + 127 data).
6130 On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6131 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6133 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6135 On ARM, the following registers are used:
6137 R0: function argument word/integer result
6138 R1-R3: function argument word
6139 R9: platform specific
6140 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6141 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6142 R12: temporary workspace
6145 R15: program counter
6147 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6149 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6151 On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6152 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6154 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6156 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6157 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6159 On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6161 R0-R1: argument/return
6163 R15: temporary register for assembler
6164 R16: trampoline register
6165 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6166 R29: global pointer (GP)
6167 R30: link register (LP)
6168 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6169 PC: program counter (PC)
6171 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6173 NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6174 or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6179 U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6180 MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6182 The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6183 controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6184 memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6185 physical memory banks.
6187 U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6188 TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6189 booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6190 to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6191 memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6192 configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6193 Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6195 Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6196 of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6198 So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6201 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6204 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6210 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6211 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6212 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6215 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6216 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6217 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6218 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
6221 System Initialization:
6222 ----------------------
6224 In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6225 (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6226 configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6227 To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6228 To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6229 initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6230 which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6231 part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6232 the caches and the SIU.
6234 Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6235 preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6236 (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6237 on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6238 programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6239 simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6242 When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6243 different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6244 bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
6245 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6246 contiguous memory starting from 0.
6248 Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6249 and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6250 Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6251 pages, and the final stack is set up.
6253 Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6254 until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6255 running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a

6336 All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6337 coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6338 "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6340 Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6341 MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6342 reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6345 Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6346 Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6349 Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6350 - remove any trailing white space
6351 - use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6352 - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6353 - do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6354 - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6356 Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6357 with a request to reformat the changes.
6363 Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6364 establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6365 may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6367 Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6369 Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6370 see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6372 When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6375 * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6376 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6377 patch actually fixes something.
6379 * For new features: a description of the feature and your
6382 * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6384 * For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6385 information and associated file and directory references.
6387 * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6388 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6390 * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6391 document these in the README file.
6393 * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6394 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6395 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6396 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6397 with some other mail clients.
6399 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6400 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6403 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6404 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6405 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6408 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6409 and compressed attachments must not be used.
6411 * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6412 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6414 * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6415 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6420 * Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6421 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6422 for any of the boards.
6424 * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6425 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6426 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6428 * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6429 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6430 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6431 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6432 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6435 * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6436 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6437 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6438 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
