For example, it shows the error code when U-Boot cannot be located. This can help to diagnose the problem and figure out a fix, particularly during development. This adds a small amount to SPL code size, perhaps 100 bytes. config SPL_BINMAN_SYMBOLS bool "Declare binman symbols in SPL" depends on SPL_FRAMEWORK && BINMAN default y help This enables use of symbols in SPL which refer to U-Boot, enabling SPL to obtain the location of U-Boot simply by calling spl_get_image_pos() and spl_get_image_size().

In some cases it might be required in SPL to load the image from different partition than the partition selected by EXT_CSC_PART_CONFIG register. Enable this option if you intend to use an eMMC boot partition other then selected via EXT_CSC_PART_CONFIG register and specify the custom partition number by the CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_EMMC_BOOT_PARTITION option. config SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_EMMC_BOOT_PARTITION int "Number of the eMMC boot partition to use" depends on SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT_OVERRIDE_PART_CONFIG default 1 help eMMC boot partition number to use when the eMMC in raw mode and the eMMC EXT_CSC_PART_CONFIG selection should be overridden in SPL by user defined partition number. config SPL_CRC32 bool "Support CRC32" default y if SPL_LEGACY_IMAGE_FORMAT || SPL_EFI_PARTITION default y if SPL_ENV_SUPPORT || TPL_BLOBLIST help Enable this to support CRC32 in uImages or FIT images within SPL. This is a 32-bit checksum value that can be used to verify images. For FIT images, this is the least secure type of checksum, suitable for detected accidental image corruption. For secure applications you should consider SHA1 or SHA256. config SPL_MD5 bool "Support MD5" depends on SPL_FIT help Enable this to support MD5 in FIT images within SPL. An MD5 checksum is a 128-bit hash value used to check that the image contents have not been corrupted. Note that MD5 is not considered secure as it is possible (with a brute-force attack) to adjust the image while still retaining the same MD5 hash value. For secure applications where images may be changed maliciously, you should consider SHA256 or SHA384. config SPL_FIT_IMAGE_TINY bool "Remove functionality from SPL FIT loading to reduce size" depends on SPL_FIT default y if MACH_SUN50I || MACH_SUN50I_H5 || SUN50I_GEN_H6 default y if ARCH_IMX8M help Enable this to reduce the size of the FIT image loading code in SPL, if space for the SPL binary is very tight. This skips the recording of each loaded payload (i.e. loadable) into the FDT (modifying the loaded FDT to ensure this information is available to the next image invoked). config SPL_CACHE bool "Support CACHE drivers" help Enable CACHE drivers in SPL. These drivers can keep data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/cache as part of an SPL build. config SPL_CPU bool "Support CPU drivers" help Enable this to support CPU drivers in SPL. These drivers can set up CPUs and provide information about them such as the model and name. This can be useful in SPL since setting up the CPUs earlier may improve boot performance. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/cpu as part of an SPL build. config SPL_CRYPTO bool "Support crypto drivers" help Enable crypto drivers in SPL. These drivers can be used to accelerate secure boot processing in secure applications. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/crypto as part of an SPL build. config SPL_DMA bool "Support DMA drivers" help Enable DMA (direct-memory-access) drivers in SPL.

These drivers perform various tasks that don't fall nicely into other categories, Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/misc as part of an SPL build, for those that support building in SPL (not all drivers do). config SPL_ENV_SUPPORT bool "Support an environment" help Enable environment support in SPL. The U-Boot environment provides a number of settings (essentially name/value pairs) which can control many aspects of U-Boot's operation. Normally this is not needed in SPL as it has a much simpler task with less configuration. But some boards use this to support 'Falcon' boot on EXT2 and FAT, where SPL boots directly into Linux without starting U-Boot first. Enabling this option will make env_get() and env_set() available in SPL. config SPL_SAVEENV bool "Support save environment" depends on SPL_ENV_SUPPORT select SPL_MMC_WRITE if ENV_IS_IN_MMC help Enable save environment support in SPL after setenv. By default the saveenv option is not provided in SPL, but some boards need this support in 'Falcon' boot, where SPL need to boot from different images based on environment variable set by OS. For example OS may set "reboot_image" environment variable to "recovery" inorder to boot recovery image by SPL. The SPL read "reboot_image" and act accordingly and change the reboot_image to default mode using setenv and save the environment. config SPL_ETH bool "Support Ethernet" depends on SPL_ENV_SUPPORT depends on SPL_NET help Enable access to the network subsystem and associated Ethernet drivers in SPL. This permits SPL to load U-Boot over an Ethernet link rather than from an on-board peripheral. Environment support is required since the network stack uses a number of environment variables. See also SPL_NET. config SPL_FS_EXT4 bool "Support EXT filesystems" help Enable support for EXT2/3/4 filesystems with SPL. This permits U-Boot (or Linux in Falcon mode) to be loaded from an EXT filesystem from within SPL. Support for the underlying block device (e.g. MMC or USB) must be enabled separately. config SPL_FS_SQUASHFS bool "Support SquashFS filesystems" select FS_SQUASHFS help Enable support for SquashFS filesystems with SPL. This permits U-Boot (or Linux in Falcon mode) to be loaded from a SquashFS filesystem from within SPL. Support for the underlying block device (e.g. MMC or USB) must be enabled separately. config SPL_FS_FAT bool "Support FAT filesystems" select FS_FAT help Enable support for FAT and VFAT filesystems with SPL.

Support for the underlying block device (e.g. MMC or USB) must be enabled separately. config SPL_FPGA bool "Support FPGAs" help Enable support for FPGAs in SPL. Field-programmable Gate Arrays provide software-configurable hardware which is typically used to implement peripherals (such as UARTs, LCD displays, MMC) or accelerate custom processing functions, such as image processing or machine learning. Sometimes it is useful to program the FPGA as early as possible during boot, and this option can enable that within SPL. config SPL_GPIO bool "Support GPIO in SPL" help Enable support for GPIOs (General-purpose Input/Output) in SPL. GPIOs allow U-Boot to read the state of an input line (high or low) and set the state of an output line. This can be used to drive LEDs, control power to various system parts and read user input. GPIOs can be useful in SPL to enable a 'sign-of-life' LED, for example. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/gpio as part of an SPL build. config SPL_I2C bool "Support I2C" help Enable support for the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus in SPL. I2C works with a clock and data line which can be driven by a one or more masters or slaves. It is a fairly complex bus but is widely used as it only needs two lines for communication. Speeds of 400kbps are typical but up to 3.4Mbps is supported by some hardware. I2C can be useful in SPL to configure power management ICs (PMICs) before raising the CPU clock speed, for example. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/i2c as part of an SPL build. config SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT bool "Support common libraries" help Enable support for common U-Boot libraries within SPL. These libraries include common code to deal with U-Boot images, environment and USB, for example. This option is enabled on many boards. Enable this option to build the code in common/ as part of an SPL build. config SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT bool "Support disk partitions" select PARTITIONS help Enable support for disk partitions within SPL. 'Disk' is something of a misnomer as it includes non-spinning media such as flash (as used in MMC and USB sticks). Partitions provide a way for a disk to be split up into separate regions, with a partition table placed at the start or end which describes the location and size of each 'partition'. These partitions are typically uses as individual block devices, typically with an EXT2 or FAT filesystem in each. This option enables whatever partition support has been enabled in U-Boot to also be used in SPL. It brings in the code in disk/. config SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT bool "Support generic libraries" help Enable support for generic U-Boot libraries within SPL. These libraries include generic code to deal with device tree, hashing, printf(), compression and the like. This option is enabled on many boards. Enable this option to build the code in lib/ as part of an SPL build. config SPL_DM_MAILBOX bool "Support Mailbox" help Enable support for Mailbox within SPL. This enable the inter processor communication protocols tobe used within SPL. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/mailbox as part of SPL build. config SPL_MMC bool "Support MMC" depends on MMC select HAVE_BLOCK_DEVICE help Enable support for MMC (Multimedia Card) within SPL. This enables the MMC protocol implementation and allows any enabled drivers to be used within SPL. MMC can be used with or without disk partition support depending on the application (SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT). Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/mmc as part of an SPL build. config SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION int "MMC Boot Partition" default 1 help Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being used in fs mode. Use -1 as a special value to use the first bootable partition. config SPL_MMC_TINY bool "Tiny MMC framework in SPL" depends on SPL_MMC help Enable MMC framework tinification support. This option is useful if if your SPL is extremely size constrained. Heed the warning, enable this option if and only if you know exactly what you are doing, if you are reading this help text, you most likely have no idea :-) The MMC framework is reduced to bare minimum to be useful. No malloc support is needed for the MMC framework operation with this option enabled. The framework supports exactly one MMC device and exactly one MMC driver. The MMC driver can be adjusted to avoid any malloc operations too, which can remove the need for malloc support in SPL and thus further reduce footprint. config SPL_MMC_WRITE bool "MMC/SD/SDIO card support for write operations in SPL" depends on SPL_MMC help Enable write access to MMC and SD Cards in SPL config SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR bool "Support MPC8XXX DDR init" help Enable support for DDR-SDRAM (double-data-rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory) on the MPC8XXX family within SPL. This allows DRAM to be set up before loading U-Boot into that DRAM, where it can run. config SPL_MTD_SUPPORT bool "Support MTD drivers" help Enable support for MTD (Memory Technology Device) within SPL. MTD provides a block interface over raw NAND and can also be used with SPI flash. This allows SPL to load U-Boot from supported MTD devices. See SPL_NAND_SUPPORT and SPL_ONENAND_SUPPORT for how to enable specific MTD drivers. config SPL_MUSB_NEW bool "Support new Mentor Graphics USB" help Enable support for Mentor Graphics USB in SPL. This is a new driver used by some boards. Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/usb/musb-new as part of an SPL build. The old drivers are in drivers/usb/musb. config SPL_NAND_SUPPORT bool "Support NAND flash" help Enable support for NAND (Negative AND) flash in SPL.
