28 At present the environment can be stored in only one place. Use this
29 option to select the location. This is either a device (where the
30 environemnt information is simply written to a fixed location or
31 partition on the device) or a filesystem (where the environment
32 information is written to a file).
35 bool "Environment is not stored"
37 Define this if you don't want to or can't have an environment stored
38 on a storage medium. In this case the environemnt will still exist
39 while U-Boot is running, but once U-Boot exits it will not be
40 stored. U-Boot will therefore always start up with a default
43 config ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH
44 bool "Environment in dataflash"
45 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
47 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
48 want to use for the environment.
54 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
55 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
56 at the specified address.
58 config ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM
59 bool "Environment in EEPROM"
60 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
62 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
63 device and a driver for it.
68 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
69 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
71 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
72 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
73 The default address is zero.
75 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
76 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
78 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
79 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
80 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
81 would require six bits.
83 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
84 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
85 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
87 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
88 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
89 that this is NOT the chip address length!
91 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
92 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
93 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
94 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
95 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
98 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
99 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
102 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
103 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
105 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
106 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
107 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
109 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
110 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
111 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
114 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
116 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
117 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
120 bool "Environment is in a FAT filesystem"
121 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
124 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
127 This must be enabled. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
129 config ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
130 bool "Environment in flash memory"
131 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
133 Define this if you have a flash device which you want to use for the
136 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
137 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
138 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
139 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
140 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
141 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
142 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
143 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
144 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
145 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
146 between U-Boot and the environment.
150 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
151 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
152 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
153 for this sector is given here.
155 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
159 This is just another way to specify the start address of
160 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
163 CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
165 Size of the sector containing the environment.
168 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
169 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
174 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
175 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
176 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
177 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
179 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
180 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
181 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
182 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
183 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
184 updating the environment in flash makes it always
185 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
186 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
187 RAM, your target system will be dead.
189 CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
190 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
192 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
193 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
194 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
195 a "saveenv" operation.
197 BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
198 source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
202 bool "Environment in an MMC device"
203 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
205 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
208 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
210 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
212 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
214 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
215 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
216 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
221 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
222 area within the specified MMC device.
224 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
225 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
226 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
227 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
228 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
229 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
230 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
232 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
235 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
237 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
238 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
239 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
240 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
242 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
243 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
245 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
246 an MMC sector boundary.
248 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
250 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
251 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
254 config ENV_IS_IN_NAND
255 bool "Environment in a NAND device"
256 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
258 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use for the
264 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
265 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
266 aligned to an erase block boundary.
268 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
270 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
271 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
272 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
273 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
274 aligned to an erase block boundary.
276 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
278 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
279 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
280 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
281 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
282 the range to be avoided.
284 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
286 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
287 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
288 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
289 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
290 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
292 config ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM
293 bool "Environment in a non-volatile RAM"
294 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
296 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
297 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
303 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
304 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
305 can just be read and written to, without any special
308 config ENV_IS_IN_ONENAND
309 bool "Environment is in OneNAND"
310 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
312 Define this if you want to put your local device's environment in
318 These two #defines are used to determine the device range you
319 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
320 can just be read and written to, without any special
323 config ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE
324 bool "Environment is in remove memory space"
325 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
327 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
328 want to use for the local device's environment.
333 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
334 environment area within the remote memory space. The
335 local device can get the environment from remote memory
336 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
338 config ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH
339 bool "Environment is in SPI flash"
340 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
342 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
343 want to use for the environment.
348 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
349 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
350 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
352 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
354 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
356 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
358 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
359 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
360 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
361 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
362 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
364 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
365 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
367 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
369 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
371 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
373 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
375 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
378 bool "Environment in a UBI volume"
379 depends on !CHAIN_OF_TRUST
381 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
382 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
383 accesses, which is important on NAND.
385 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
387 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
389 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
391 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
394 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
396 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
397 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
398 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
400 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
401 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
403 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
404 when storing the env in UBI.

420 default "0" if ARCH_AT91
422 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
425 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
426 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
429 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
430 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
432 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
433 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
434 partition table then means device D.
437 string "Name of the FAT file to use for the environemnt"
