  23. Summary:
  24. ========
  25. This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
  26. Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
  27. processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
  28. initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
  29. code.
  30. The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
  31. the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
  32. header files in common, and special provision has been made to
  33. support booting of Linux images.
  34. Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
  35. configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
  36. implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
  37. add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
  38. code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
  39. load and run it dynamically.
  40. Status:
  41. =======
  42. In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
  43. Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
  44. "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
  45. In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
  46. who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
  47. maintainers.
  48. Where to get help:
  49. ==================
  50. In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for
  51. U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at
  52. <u-boot@lists.denx.de>. There is also an archive of previous traffic
  53. on the mailing list - please search the archive before asking FAQ's.
  54. Please see http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot and
  55. http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot
  56. Where to get source code:
  57. =========================
  58. The U-Boot source code is maintained in the git repository at
  59. git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git ; you can browse it online at
  60. http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
  61. The "snapshot" links on this page allow you to download tarballs of
  62. any version you might be interested in. Official releases are also
  63. available for FTP download from the ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
  64. directory.
  65. Pre-built (and tested) images are available from
  66. ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/images/
  67. Where we come from:
  68. ===================
  69. - start from 8xxrom sources
  70. - create PPCBoot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcboot)
  71. - clean up code
  72. - make it easier to add custom boards
  73. - make it possible to add other [PowerPC] CPUs
  74. - extend functions, especially:
  75. * Provide extended interface to Linux boot loader
  76. * S-Record download
  77. * network boot
  78. * PCMCIA / CompactFlash / ATA disk / SCSI ... boot
  79. - create ARMBoot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/armboot)
  80. - add other CPU families (starting with ARM)
  81. - create U-Boot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot)
  82. - current project page: see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot
  83. Names and Spelling:
  84. ===================
  85. The "official" name of this project is "Das U-Boot". The spelling
  86. "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments
  87. in source files etc.). Example:
  88. This is the README file for the U-Boot project.
  89. File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples:
  90. include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h
  91. #include <asm/u-boot.h>
  92. Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on
  93. the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example:
  94. U_BOOT_VERSION u_boot_logo
  95. IH_OS_U_BOOT u_boot_hush_start
  96. Versioning:
  97. ===========
  98. U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
  99. sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
  100. sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
  101. The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
  102. between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
  103. U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

  164. Software Configuration:
  165. =======================
  166. Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
  167. rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
  168. There are two classes of configuration variables:
  169. * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  170. These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  171. "CONFIG_".
  172. * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  173. These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  174. you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  175. "CONFIG_SYS_".
  176. Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
  177. identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
  178. do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
  179. links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
  180. as an example here.
  181. Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
  182. ---------------------------------------------------
  183. For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
  184. configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
  185. Example: For a TQM823L module type:
  186. cd u-boot
  187. make TQM823L_config
  188. For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
  189. e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
  190. directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
  191. Configuration Options:
  192. ----------------------
  193. Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
  194. such information is kept in a configuration file
  195. "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
  196. Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
  197. "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
  198. Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
  199. kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
  200. build a config tool - later.
  201. The following options need to be configured:
  202. - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
  203. - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
  204. - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
  205. Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
  206. - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  207. Define exactly one of
  208. CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
  209. --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
  210. CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
  211. CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
  212. - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  213. Define exactly one of
  214. CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
  215. - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  216. Define one or more of
  217. CONFIG_CMA302
  218. - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
  219. Define one or more of
  220. CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
  221. the LCD display every second with
  222. a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
  223. - Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
  224. CONFIG_ADSTYPE
  225. Possible values are:
  226. CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS
  227. CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
  228. CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
  229. CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
  230. - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
  231. Define exactly one of
  232. CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
  233. - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
  234. CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
  235. get_gclk_freq() cannot work
  236. e.g. if there is no 32KHz
  237. reference PIT/RTC clock
  238. CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
  239. or XTAL/EXTAL)
  240. - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
  241. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
  242. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
  243. CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
  244. See doc/README.MPC866
  245. CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
  246. Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
  247. of relying on the correctness of the configured
  248. values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
  249. the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
  250. that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
  251. RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
  252. - Intel Monahans options:
  253. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
  254. Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
  255. ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
  256. frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
  257. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
  258. Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
  259. ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
  260. 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
  261. by this value.
  262. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  263. CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
  264. U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
  265. internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
  266. kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
  267. bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
  268. "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
  269. converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
  270. Linux kernel.
  271. When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
  272. "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
  273. default environment.
  274. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  275. When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
  276. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  277. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  278. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  279. New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
  280. passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
  281. concepts).
  282. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  283. * New libfdt-based support
  284. * Adds the "fdt" command
  285. * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
  286. OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node.
  287. OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node.
  288. OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
  289. OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
  290. boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
  291. addresses
  292. CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
  293. Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
  294. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
  295. CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
  296. This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
  297. param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
  298. - vxWorks boot parameters:
  299. bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
  300. environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
  301. It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
  302. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
  303. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
  304. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
  305. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
  306. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
  307. Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
  308. Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
  309. the defaults discussed just above.
  310. - Serial Ports:
  311. CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
  312. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  313. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
  314. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  315. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  316. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  317. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  318. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  319. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  320. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  321. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  322. - Console Interface:
  323. Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
  324. (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
  325. CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
  326. console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
  327. Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
  328. port routines must be defined elsewhere
  329. (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
  330. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  331. Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
  332. defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)
  333. VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
  334. (default big endian)
  335. VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
  336. rectangle fill
  337. (cf. smiLynxEM)
  338. VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
  339. bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
  340. VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
  341. (cols=pitch)
  342. VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
  343. VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
  344. VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
  345. (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)

  348. (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
  349. VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
  350. (i.e. i8042_tstc)
  351. VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
  352. (i.e. i8042_getc)
  353. CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
  354. (requires blink timer
  355. cf. i8042.c)
  356. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
  357. CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
  358. upper right corner
  359. (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
  360. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
  361. upper left corner
  362. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
  363. linux_logo.h for logo.
  364. Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  365. CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
  366. additional board info beside
  367. the logo
  368. When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
  369. default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
  370. environment 'console=serial'.
  371. When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
  372. messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
  373. the "silent" environment variable. See
  374. doc/README.silent for more information.
  375. - Console Baudrate:
  376. CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
  377. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  378. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  379. CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
  380. - Interrupt driven serial port input:
  381. CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
  382. PPC405GP only.
  383. Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
  384. serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
  385. (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
  386. bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
  387. Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
  388. disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
  389. - Console UART Number:
  390. CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
  391. AMCC PPC4xx only.
  392. If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
  393. as default U-Boot console.
  394. - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
  395. Delay before automatically booting the default image;
  396. set to -1 to disable autoboot.
  397. See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
  398. work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
  399. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  400. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
  401. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
  402. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
  403. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  404. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  405. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
  406. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
  407. CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
  408. CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
  409. - Autoboot Command:
  410. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  411. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  412. define a command string that is automatically executed
  413. when no character is read on the console interface
  414. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  415. CONFIG_BOOTARGS
  416. This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
  417. command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
  418. environment value "bootargs".
  419. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  420. The value of these goes into the environment as
  421. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  422. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  423. RAM and NFS.
  424. - Pre-Boot Commands:
  425. CONFIG_PREBOOT
  426. When this option is #defined, the existence of the
  427. environment variable "preboot" will be checked
  428. immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  429. countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
  430. entering interactive mode.
  431. This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
  432. automatically generated or modified. For an example
  433. see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
  434. modified when the user holds down a certain
  435. combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
  436. booting the systems
  437. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  438. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  439. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  440. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  441. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  442. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  443. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  444. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  445. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  446. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  447. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  448. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  449. - Monitor Functions:
  450. Monitor commands can be included or excluded
  451. from the build by using the #include files
  452. "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted
  453. commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h"
  454. and augmenting with additional #define's
  455. for wanted commands.
  456. The default command configuration includes all commands
  457. except those marked below with a "*".

  532. what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
  533. cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
  534. 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
  535. uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
  536. systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
  537. initial stack and some data.
  538. XXX - this list needs to get updated!
  539. - Watchdog:
  540. CONFIG_WATCHDOG
  541. If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
  542. support. There must be support in the platform specific
  543. code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the
  544. SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
  545. register.
  546. - U-Boot Version:
  547. CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
  548. If this variable is defined, an environment variable
  549. named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
  550. version as printed by the "version" command.
  551. This variable is readonly.
  552. - Real-Time Clock:
  553. When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
  554. has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
  555. following options:
  556. CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
  557. CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC

  566. CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
  567. Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  568. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  569. - GPIO Support:
  570. CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
  571. CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command
  572. Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  573. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  574. - Timestamp Support:
  575. When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
  576. (date and time) of an image is printed by image
  577. commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
  578. automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
  579. - Partition Support:
  580. CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION
  581. and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION
  582. If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
  583. CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
  584. least one partition type as well.
  585. - IDE Reset method:
  586. CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
  587. board configurations files but used nowhere!
  588. CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
  589. be performed by calling the function
  590. ide_set_reset(int reset)

  657. Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor
  658. automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit
  659. words you may also try CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_32_BIT.
  660. - USB Support:
  661. At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
  662. supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
  663. CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
  664. define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard

  673. CONFIG_USB_CONFIG
  674. for differential drivers: 0x00001000
  675. for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
  676. CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
  677. May be defined to allow interrupt polling
  678. instead of using asynchronous interrupts
  679. - USB Device:
  680. Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
  681. Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
  682. command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
  683. attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
  684. it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
  685. can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
  686. appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
  687. Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
  688. If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
  689. a Linux host by
  690. # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
  691. else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
  692. variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
  693. might be defined in YourBoardName.h
  694. CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
  695. Define this to build a UDC device
  696. CONFIG_USB_TTY
  697. Define this to have a tty type of device available to
  698. talk to the UDC device
  699. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  700. Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
  701. be set to usbtty.
  702. mpc8xx:
  703. CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
  704. Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
  705. - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
  706. CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
  707. Derive USB clock from brgclk
  708. - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
  709. If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
  710. define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
  711. or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
  712. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
  713. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
  714. should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
  715. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
  716. Define this string as the name of your company for
  717. - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
  718. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
  719. Define this string as the name of your product
  720. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
  721. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
  722. Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
  723. Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
  724. to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
  725. - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
  726. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
  727. Define this as the unique Product ID
  728. for your device
  729. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
  730. - MMC Support:
  731. The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
  732. enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
  733. accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
  734. to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
  735. enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
  736. the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
  737. - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
  738. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
  739. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
  740. Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
  741. CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
  742. CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
  743. Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
  744. CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
  745. Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
  746. function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
  747. If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
  748. #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
  749. to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
  750. have not defined a custom partition
  751. - Keyboard Support:
  752. CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
  753. Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
  754. support
  755. CONFIG_I8042_KBD
  756. Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
  757. GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
  758. Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
  759. for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
  760. - Video support:
  761. CONFIG_VIDEO
  762. Define this to enable video support (for output to
  763. video).
  764. CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
  765. Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
  766. CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
  767. Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
  768. video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
  769. (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
  770. assumed.
  771. For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
  772. selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
  773. are possible:
  774. - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
  775. Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
  776. Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
  777. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  778. 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
  779. 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
  780. 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
  781. 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
  782. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  783. (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
  784. - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
  785. from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
  786. CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
  787. Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
  788. and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
  789. or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
  790. - Keyboard Support:
  791. CONFIG_KEYBOARD
  792. Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
  793. This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
  794. defined in your board-specific files.
  795. The only board using this so far is RBC823.
  796. - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
  797. Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
  798. display); also select one of the supported displays
  799. by defining one of these:
  800. CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
  801. HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
  802. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
  803. NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
  804. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
  805. NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
  806. Active, color, single scan.
  807. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
  808. NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
  809. Active, color, single scan.
  810. CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
  811. Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
  812. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  813. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  814. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  815. Active, color, single scan.
  816. CONFIG_HLD1045
  817. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  818. Active, color, single scan.
  819. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  820. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  821. or
  822. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  823. or
  824. Hitachi SP14Q002
  825. 320x240. Black & white.
  826. Normally display is black on white background; define
  827. CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
  828. - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
  829. If this option is set, the environment is checked for
  830. a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
  831. of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
  832. is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
  833. specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
  834. console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
  835. allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
  836. loaded very quickly after power-on.
  837. - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
  838. If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
  839. images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
  840. splashscreen support or the bmp command.
  841. - Compression support:
  842. CONFIG_BZIP2
  843. If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  844. images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  845. compressed images are supported.
  846. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  847. the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
  848. be at least 4MB.
  849. CONFIG_LZMA
  850. If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
  851. images is included.
  852. Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
  853. requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
  854. formula:
  855. (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
  856. Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
  857. and Literal pos bits.
  858. This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
  859. for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
  860. total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
  861. a very small buffer.
  862. Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
  863. then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
  864. the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
  865. - MII/PHY support:
  866. CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
  867. The address of PHY on MII bus.
  868. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  869. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  870. CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
  871. If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
  872. detection of gigabit PHY is included.
  873. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  874. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  875. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  876. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  877. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  878. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  879. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  880. command issued before MII status register can be read
  881. - Ethernet address:
  882. CONFIG_ETHADDR
  883. CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
  884. CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
  885. CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
  886. CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
  887. CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
  888. Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
  889. for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
  890. is not determined automatically.
  891. - IP address:
  892. CONFIG_IPADDR
  893. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  894. the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
  895. determined through e.g. bootp.
  896. - Server IP address:
  897. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  898. Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
  899. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  900. - Multicast TFTP Mode:
  901. CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
  902. Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
  903. rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
  904. tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
  905. driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
  906. multicast group.
  907. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  908. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  909. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  910. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  911. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  912. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  913. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  914. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  915. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  916. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  917. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  918. following delays are inserted then:
  919. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  920. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  921. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  922. 4th and following
  923. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  924. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  925. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
  926. CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
  927. CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
  928. CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
  929. CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
  930. CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
  931. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
  932. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
  933. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  934. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
  935. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
  936. CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
  937. CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
  938. CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
  939. CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
  940. environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
  941. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
  942. serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
  943. than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
  944. If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
  945. serverip will be stored in the additional environment
  946. variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
  947. stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  948. is defined.
  949. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
  950. to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
  951. need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
  952. If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
  953. of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
  954. option 12 to the DHCP server.
  955. CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
  956. A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
  957. receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
  958. This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
  959. respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
  960. AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
  961. to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
  962. DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
  963. least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
  964. that one of the retries will be successful but note that
  965. the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
  966. this delay.
  967. - CDP Options:
  968. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  969. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  970. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  971. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  972. of the device.
  973. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  974. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  975. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  976. eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  977. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  978. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  979. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  980. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  981. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  982. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  983. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  984. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  985. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  986. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  987. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  988. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  989. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  990. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  991. - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
  992. Several configurations allow to display the current
  993. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  994. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  995. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  996. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  997. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  998. kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
  999. feature in U-Boot.
  1000. - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
  1001. Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
  1002. on those systems that support this (optional)
  1003. feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
  1004. - I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
  1005. These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
  1006. (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
  1007. include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
  1008. This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
  1009. command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
  1010. CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
  1011. clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
  1012. command line interface.
  1013. CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE is a recommended option that places
  1014. all I2C commands under a single 'i2c' root command. The
  1015. older 'imm', 'imd', 'iprobe' etc. commands are considered
  1016. deprecated and may disappear in the future.
  1017. CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
  1018. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
  1019. bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
  1020. support for I2C.
  1021. There are several other quantities that must also be
  1022. defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
  1023. In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
  1024. to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
  1025. to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
  1026. the CPU's i2c node address).
  1027. Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
  1028. sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
  1029. therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
  1030. p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
  1031. That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
  1032. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
  1033. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  1034. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  1035. I2C_INIT
  1036. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  1037. controller or configure ports.
  1038. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  1039. I2C_PORT
  1040. (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
  1041. assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
  1042. are 0..3 for ports A..D.
  1043. I2C_ACTIVE
  1044. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  1045. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  1046. define can be null.
  1047. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  1048. I2C_TRISTATE
  1049. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  1050. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  1051. define can be null.
  1052. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  1053. I2C_READ
  1054. Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
  1055. FALSE if it is low.
  1056. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  1057. I2C_SDA(bit)
  1058. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  1059. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1060. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  1061. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  1062. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  1063. I2C_SCL(bit)
  1064. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  1065. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1066. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  1067. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  1068. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  1069. I2C_DELAY
  1070. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  1071. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  1072. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  1073. like:
  1074. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  1075. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  1076. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  1077. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  1078. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  1079. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  1080. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  1081. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  1082. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  1083. is run early in the boot sequence.
  1084. CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  1085. This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
  1086. in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
  1087. variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
  1088. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1089. This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
  1090. must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
  1091. active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
  1092. Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
  1093. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
  1094. This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
  1095. when the 'i2c probe' command is issued (or 'iprobe' using the legacy
  1096. command). If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS is set, specify a list of bus-device
  1097. pairs. Otherwise, specify a 1D array of device addresses
  1098. e.g.
  1099. #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1100. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
  1101. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
  1102. #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1103. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
  1104. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
  1105. CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  1106. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
  1107. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
  1108. CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
  1109. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
  1110. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
  1111. CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
  1112. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
  1113. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
  1114. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
  1115. If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
  1116. If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
  1117. specified DTT device.
  1118. CONFIG_FSL_I2C
  1119. Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
  1120. drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
  1121. CONFIG_I2C_MUX
  1122. Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
  1123. I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
  1124. Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
  1125. new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
  1126. new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
  1127. the muxes to activate this new "bus".
  1128. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
  1129. feature!
  1130. Example:
  1131. Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
  1132. The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
  1133. The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
  1134. => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
  1135. Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
  1136. of I2C Busses with muxes:
  1137. => i2c bus
  1138. Busses reached over muxes:
  1139. Bus ID: 2
  1140. reached over Mux(es):
  1141. pca9544a@70 ch: 4
  1142. Bus ID: 3
  1143. reached over Mux(es):
  1144. pca9544a@70 ch: 6
  1145. pca9544a@71 ch: 4
  1146. =>
  1147. If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
  1148. u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
  1149. channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
  1150. the channel 4.
  1151. After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
  1152. usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
  1153. the 2 muxes.
  1154. This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
  1155. algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
  1156. Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
  1157. to add this option to other architectures.
  1158. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
  1159. defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
  1160. the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
  1161. between writing the address pointer and reading the
  1162. data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
  1163. of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
  1164. devices can use either method, but some require one or
  1165. the other.
  1166. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  1167. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  1168. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  1169. D/As on the SACSng board)
  1170. CONFIG_SPI_X
  1171. Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
  1172. (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
  1173. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  1174. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  1175. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  1176. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  1177. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  1178. defined, the board configuration must define several
  1179. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  1180. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  1181. CONFIG_HARD_SPI
  1182. Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
  1183. and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
  1184. must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
  1185. Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
  1186. example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
  1187. CONFIG_MXC_SPI
  1188. Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
  1189. SoCs. Currently only i.MX31 is supported.
  1190. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
  1191. Enables FPGA subsystem.
  1192. CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
  1193. Enables support for specific chip vendors.
  1194. (ALTERA, XILINX)
  1195. CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
  1196. Enables support for FPGA family.
  1197. (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
  1198. CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  1199. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  1200. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  1201. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  1202. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  1203. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  1204. status by the configuration function. This option
  1205. will require a board or device specific function to
  1206. be written.
  1207. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  1208. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  1209. configuration driver.
  1210. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  1211. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  1212. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  1213. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  1214. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  1215. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  1216. indicated a CRC error).
  1217. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  1218. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
  1219. after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
  1220. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  1221. ms.
  1222. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  1223. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
  1224. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
  1225. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  1226. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  1227. 200 ms.
  1228. - Configuration Management:
  1229. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  1230. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  1231. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1232. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1233. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1234. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1235. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1236. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1237. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1238. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1239. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1240. change this behaviour:
  1241. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1242. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1243. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1244. these parameters.
  1245. Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
  1246. _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1247. Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1248. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1249. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1250. read-only.]
  1251. - Protected RAM:
  1252. CONFIG_PRAM
  1253. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1254. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1255. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1256. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1257. this default value by defining an environment
  1258. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1259. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1260. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1261. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1262. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1263. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1264. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1265. setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
  1266. saveenv
  1267. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1268. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1269. not be affected by reboots.
  1270. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1271. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1272. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1273. following board configurations are known to be
  1274. "pRAM-clean":
  1275. ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
  1276. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
  1277. PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
  1278. - Error Recovery:
  1279. CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
  1280. Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
  1281. fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
  1282. This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
  1283. system where you want the system to reboot
  1284. automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
  1285. useful during development since you can try to debug
  1286. the conditions that lead to the situation.
  1287. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1288. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1289. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1290. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1291. default value of 5 is used.
  1292. CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
  1293. Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
  1294. - Command Interpreter:
  1295. CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
  1296. Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
  1297. Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
  1298. for the "hush" shell.
  1299. CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
  1300. Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
  1301. Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
  1302. powerful command line syntax like
  1303. if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
  1304. constructs ("shell scripts").
  1305. If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
  1306. with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
  1307. CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1308. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1309. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1310. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1311. Note:
  1312. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1313. space and global environment variables space are
  1314. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1315. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1316. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1317. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1318. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1319. Global environment variables are those you use
  1320. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1321. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1322. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1323. To store commands and special characters in a
  1324. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1325. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1326. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1327. symbols.
  1328. - Commandline Editing and History:
  1329. CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
  1330. Enable editing and History functions for interactive
  1331. commandline input operations
  1332. - Default Environment:
  1333. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1334. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1335. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1336. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1337. For example, place something like this in your
  1338. board's config file:
  1339. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1340. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1341. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1342. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1343. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1344. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1345. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1346. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1347. You better know what you are doing here.
  1348. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1349. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1350. the environment like the autoscript function or the
  1351. boot command first.
  1352. - DataFlash Support:
  1353. CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
  1354. Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
  1355. allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
  1356. commands cp, md...
  1357. - SystemACE Support:
  1358. CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1359. Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
  1360. chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
  1361. of the chip must also be defined in the
  1362. CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
  1363. #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1364. #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
  1365. When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
  1366. becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
  1367. - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
  1368. CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
  1369. If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
  1370. is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
  1371. If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
  1372. number generator is used.
  1373. Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
  1374. the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
  1375. defined, the normal port 69 is used.
  1376. The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
  1377. blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
  1378. target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
  1379. "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
  1380. the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
  1381. A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
  1382. but sometimes that is not allowed.
  1383. - Show boot progress:
  1384. CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
  1385. Defining this option allows to add some board-
  1386. specific code (calling a user-provided function
  1387. "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
  1388. the system's boot progress on some display (for
  1389. example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
  1390. the following checkpoints are implemented:
  1391. - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
  1392. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
  1393. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
  1394. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
  1395. These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
  1396. for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
  1397. Legacy uImage format:
  1398. Arg Where When
  1399. 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image
  1400. -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header has bad magic number
  1401. 2 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header has correct magic number
  1402. -2 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header has bad checksum
  1403. 3 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header has correct checksum
  1404. -3 common/cmd_bootm.c Image data has bad checksum
  1405. 4 common/cmd_bootm.c Image data has correct checksum
  1406. -4 common/cmd_bootm.c Image is for unsupported architecture
  1407. 5 common/cmd_bootm.c Architecture check OK

  1535. Modem Support:
  1536. --------------
  1537. [so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
  1538. - Modem support enable:
  1539. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
  1540. - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
  1541. CONFIG_HWFLOW
  1542. - Modem debug support:
  1543. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
  1544. Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
  1545. for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
  1546. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  1547. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  1548. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  1549. for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  1550. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  1551. CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  1552. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  1553. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
  1554. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  1555. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  1556. general timer_interrupt().
  1557. - General:
  1558. In the target system modem support is enabled when a
  1559. specific key (key combination) is pressed during
  1560. power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
  1561. (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
  1562. board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
  1563. function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
  1564. initialization.
  1565. If there are no modem init strings in the
  1566. environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
  1567. previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
  1568. suppressed, though.
  1569. See also: doc/README.Modem
  1570. Configuration Settings:
  1571. -----------------------
  1572. - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  1573. undefine this when you're short of memory.
  1574. - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
  1575. prompt for user input.
  1576. - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  1577. - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  1578. - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
  1579. - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
  1580. the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
  1581. booted
  1582. - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
  1583. List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
  1584. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
  1585. Suppress display of console information at boot.
  1586. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  1587. If the board specific function
  1588. extern int overwrite_console (void);
  1589. returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
  1590. serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
  1591. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
  1592. Enable the call to overwrite_console().
  1593. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
  1594. Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
  1595. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
  1596. Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
  1597. simple memory test.
  1598. - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
  1599. Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
  1600. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
  1601. Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
  1602. You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
  1603. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
  1604. If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
  1605. this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
  1606. (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
  1607. fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
  1608. the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
  1609. This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
  1610. board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
  1611. recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
  1612. will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
  1613. This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
  1614. CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
  1615. be touched.
  1616. WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
  1617. the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
  1618. then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
  1619. non page size aligned address and this could cause major
  1620. problems.
  1621. - CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR:
  1622. Default load address for network file downloads
  1623. - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  1624. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  1625. - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
  1626. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  1627. - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
  1628. Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
  1629. Cogent motherboard)
  1630. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
  1631. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  1632. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
  1633. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  1634. make config files to be same as the text base address
  1635. (TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  1636. CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  1637. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
  1638. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  1639. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  1640. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  1641. flash sector.
  1642. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
  1643. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  1644. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
  1645. Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
  1646. uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
  1647. you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
  1648. to adjust this setting to your needs.
  1649. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
  1650. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  1651. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  1652. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
  1653. used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
  1654. enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
  1655. all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
  1656. and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
  1657. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  1658. Max number of Flash memory banks
  1659. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
  1660. Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
  1661. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
  1662. Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
  1663. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
  1664. Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
  1665. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
  1666. Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
  1667. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
  1668. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  1669. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
  1670. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  1671. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  1672. - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  1673. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  1674. without this option such a download has to be
  1675. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  1676. copy from RAM to flash.
  1677. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  1678. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  1679. the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
  1680. too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
  1681. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  1682. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
  1683. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  1684. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  1685. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  1686. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  1687. in the drivers directory
  1688. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
  1689. This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
  1690. in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
  1691. to the MTD layer.
  1692. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
  1693. Use buffered writes to flash.
  1694. - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
  1695. s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
  1696. write commands.
  1697. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
  1698. If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
  1699. print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
  1700. is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
  1701. optionally available.
  1702. - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
  1703. If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
  1704. digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
  1705. column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
  1706. - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  1707. Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
  1708. Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  1709. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  1710. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  1711. on high Ethernet traffic.
  1712. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  1713. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  1714. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  1715. following configurations:
  1716. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
  1717. Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
  1718. a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
  1719. "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
  1720. happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
  1721. sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
  1722. sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
  1723. layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
  1724. such a case you would place the environment in one of the
  1725. 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
  1726. "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
  1727. environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
  1728. between U-Boot and the environment.
  1729. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1730. Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
  1731. beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
  1732. type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
  1733. for this sector is given here.
  1734. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
  1735. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1736. This is just another way to specify the start address of
  1737. the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
  1738. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
  1739. - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
  1740. Size of the sector containing the environment.
  1741. b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
  1742. In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
  1743. the environment.
  1744. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1745. If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
  1746. and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
  1747. of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
  1748. memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
  1749. It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
  1750. when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
  1751. since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
  1752. for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
  1753. STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
  1754. updating the environment in flash makes it always
  1755. necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
  1756. wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
  1757. RAM, your target system will be dead.
  1758. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
  1759. CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
  1760. These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
  1761. a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
  1762. a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
  1763. a "saveenv" operation.
  1764. BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
  1765. source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
  1766. accordingly!
  1767. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
  1768. Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
  1769. (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
  1770. environment.
  1771. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1772. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1773. These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
  1774. want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
  1775. can just be read and written to, without any special
  1776. provision.
  1777. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  1778. in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  1779. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
  1780. U-Boot will hang.
  1781. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  1782. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  1783. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  1784. to save the current settings.
  1785. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
  1786. Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
  1787. device and a driver for it.
  1788. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1789. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1790. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1791. environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
  1792. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
  1793. If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
  1794. The default address is zero.
  1795. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
  1796. If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
  1797. single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
  1798. would require six bits.
  1799. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
  1800. If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
  1801. page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
  1802. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
  1803. The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
  1804. that this is NOT the chip address length!
  1805. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
  1806. EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
  1807. like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
  1808. address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
  1809. slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
  1810. byte chips.
  1811. Note that we consider the length of the address field to
  1812. still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
  1813. in the chip address.
  1814. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
  1815. The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
  1816. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
  1817. Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
  1818. want to use for the environment.
  1819. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1820. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1821. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1822. These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1823. environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
  1824. at the specified address.
  1825. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
  1826. Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
  1827. for the environment.
  1828. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1829. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1830. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
  1831. area within the first NAND device.
  1832. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND
  1833. This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
  1834. size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
  1835. so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
  1836. power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
  1837. Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
  1838. to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
  1839. the NAND devices block size.
  1840. - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
  1841. Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
  1842. area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
  1843. is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
  1844. scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
  1845. calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
  1846. to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
  1847. start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
  1848. Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
  1849. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  1850. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
  1851. until then to read environment variables.
  1852. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  1853. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  1854. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  1855. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  1856. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  1857. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  1858. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  1859. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  1860. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  1861. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  1862. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  1863. Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  1864. also needs to be defined.
  1865. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  1866. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  1867. - CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF:
  1868. Makes vsprintf (and all *printf functions) support printing
  1869. of 64bit values by using the L quantifier
  1870. - CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL:
  1871. Adds simple_strtoull that returns a 64bit value
  1872. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  1873. ---------------------------------------------------
  1874. - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  1875. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  1876. - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
  1877. Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
  1878. Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
  1879. and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
  1880. the IMMR register after a reset.
  1881. - Floppy Disk Support:
  1882. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
  1883. the default drive number (default value 0)
  1884. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
  1885. defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
  1886. (default value 1)
  1887. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
  1888. defines the offset of register from address. It
  1889. depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
  1890. the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
  1891. If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
  1892. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
  1893. default value.
  1894. if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
  1895. fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
  1896. setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
  1897. source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
  1898. initializations.
  1899. - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
  1900. DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
  1901. doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
  1902. - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  1903. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  1904. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  1905. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  1906. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  1907. will become available only after programming the
  1908. memory controller and running certain initialization
  1909. sequences.
  1910. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  1911. - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  1912. - MPC824X: data cache
  1913. - PPC4xx: data cache
  1914. - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  1915. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  1916. area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  1917. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  1918. data is located at the end of the available space
  1919. (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END -
  1920. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  1921. below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  1922. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  1923. Note:
  1924. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  1925. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  1926. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  1927. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  1928. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

  1985. - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  1986. If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
  1987. one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
  1988. to something your driver can deal with.
  1989. - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
  1990. Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
  1991. be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
  1992. - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
  1993. Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should

  1995. - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
  1996. Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
  1997. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY

  2026. => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
  2027. This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
  2028. This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
  2029. globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
  2030. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
  2031. - CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT
  2032. [ARM only] If these variables are defined, then
  2033. certain low level initializations (like setting up
  2034. the memory controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does
  2035. not relocate itself into RAM.
  2036. Normally these variables MUST NOT be defined. The
  2037. only exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by
  2038. some other boot loader or by a debugger which
  2039. performs these initializations itself.
  2040. Building the Software:
  2041. ======================
  2042. Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
  2043. and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
  2044. all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
  2045. (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
  2046. recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
  2047. which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
  2048. If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
  2049. have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
  2050. you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
  2051. Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
  2052. necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
  2053. $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
  2054. $ export CROSS_COMPILE
  2055. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  2056. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  2057. is done by typing:
  2058. make NAME_config
  2059. where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
  2060. rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
  2061. Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
  2062. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  2063. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  2064. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  2065. when choosing the configuration, i. e.
  2066. make TQM823L_config
  2067. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  2068. make TQM823L_LCD_config
  2069. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  2070. etc.
  2071. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  2072. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  2073. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  2074. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  2075. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  2076. By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
  2077. in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
  2078. this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
  2079. 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
  2080. make O=/tmp/build distclean
  2081. make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
  2082. make O=/tmp/build all
  2083. 2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
  2084. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2085. make distclean
  2086. make NAME_config
  2087. make all
  2088. Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
  2089. variable.
  2090. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  2091. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  2092. native "make".
  2093. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  2094. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  2095. steps:
  2096. 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
  2097. "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
  2098. entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
  2099. boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
  2100. keep this order.
  2101. 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  2102. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  2103. the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
  2104. 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  2105. your board
  2106. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  2107. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  2108. 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
  2109. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  2110. to be installed on your target system.
  2111. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  2112. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  2113. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  2114. ==============================================================
  2115. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  2116. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  2117. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  2118. the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  2119. official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
  2120. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  2121. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  2122. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  2123. just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
  2124. for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
  2125. select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
  2126. environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
  2127. you can type
  2128. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2129. or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
  2130. CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
  2131. When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
  2132. U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
  2133. setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
  2134. built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
  2135. <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
  2136. location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
  2137. variable. For example:
  2138. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2139. export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
  2140. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2141. With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
  2142. log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
  2143. during the whole build process.
  2144. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

  2195. Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
  2196. ========================================
  2197. TODO.
  2198. For now: just type "help <command>".
  2199. Environment Variables:
  2200. ======================
  2201. U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
  2202. can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
  2203. Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
  2204. "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
  2205. without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
  2206. environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
  2207. working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
  2208. environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
  2209. Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables:
  2210. baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
  2211. bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  2212. bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  2213. bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
  2214. bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
  2215. bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2216. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2217. a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
  2218. for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
  2219. environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
  2220. also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
  2221. kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
  2222. bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2223. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2224. a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
  2225. allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
  2226. environment variable.
  2227. updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
  2228. by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
  2229. documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
  2230. autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
  2231. "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
  2232. configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
  2233. load any image using TFTP
  2234. autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
  2235. "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
  2236. to automatically run script images (by internally
  2237. calling "autoscript").
  2238. autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
  2239. variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
  2240. autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
  2241. "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
  2242. be automatically started (by internally calling
  2243. "bootm")
  2244. If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
  2245. "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
  2246. (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
  2247. This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
  2248. data.
  2249. i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  2250. if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
  2251. mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
  2252. initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
  2253. it must be saved and board must be reset.
  2254. initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
  2255. If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
  2256. copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
  2257. is usually what you want since it allows for
  2258. maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
  2259. make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
  2260. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
  2261. variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
  2262. Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
  2263. address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
  2264. does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
  2265. For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
  2266. RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
  2267. you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
  2268. the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
  2269. sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
  2270. 12 MB as well - this can be done with
  2271. setenv initrd_high 00c00000
  2272. If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
  2273. indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
  2274. for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
  2275. memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
  2276. ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
  2277. boot time on your system, but requires that this
  2278. feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
  2279. ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2280. loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
  2281. "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
  2282. loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  2283. serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2284. bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  2285. bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  2286. bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  2287. ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2288. interface is used first.
  2289. ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2290. interface is currently active. For example you
  2291. can do the following
  2292. => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
  2293. => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
  2294. => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
  2295. => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
  2296. ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
  2297. available network interfaces.
  2298. It just stays at the currently selected interface.
  2299. netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
  2300. either succeed or fail without retrying.
  2301. When set to "once" the network operation will
  2302. fail when all the available network interfaces
  2303. are tried once without success.
  2304. Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
  2305. themselves.
  2306. npe_ucode - see CONFIG_IXP4XX_NPE_EXT_UCOD
  2307. if set load address for the NPE microcode
  2308. tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
  2309. UDP source port.
  2310. tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
  2311. destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
  2312. vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
  2313. Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
  2314. VLAN tagged frames.
  2315. The following environment variables may be used and automatically
  2316. updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
  2317. depending the information provided by your boot server:
  2318. bootfile - see above
  2319. dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
  2320. dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
  2321. gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
  2322. hostname - Target hostname
  2323. ipaddr - see above
  2324. netmask - Subnet Mask
  2325. rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
  2326. serverip - see above
  2327. There are two special Environment Variables:
  2328. serial# - contains hardware identification information such
  2329. as type string and/or serial number
  2330. ethaddr - Ethernet address
  2331. These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
  2332. the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
  2333. once they have been set once.
  2334. Further special Environment Variables:
  2335. ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
  2336. with the "version" command. This variable is
  2337. readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
  2338. Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
  2339. only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
  2340. Command Line Parsing:
  2341. =====================
  2342. There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
  2343. the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
  2344. Old, simple command line parser:
  2345. --------------------------------
  2346. - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
  2347. - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
  2348. - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
  2349. - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
  2350. for example:
  2351. setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
  2352. - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
  2353. setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
  2354. Hush shell:
  2355. -----------
  2356. - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
  2357. if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
  2358. until...do...done, ...
  2359. - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
  2360. commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
  2361. "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
  2362. command
  2363. General rules:
  2364. --------------
  2365. (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
  2366. command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
  2367. one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
  2368. executed anyway.
  2369. (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
  2370. calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
  2371. command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
  2372. variables are not executed.
  2373. Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
  2374. =======================================
  2375. Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
  2376. such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
  2377. "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
  2378. Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
  2379. MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
  2380. "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
  2381. If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
  2382. in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
  2383. ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
  2384. variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
  2385. o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  2386. environment, the SROM's address is used.
  2387. o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  2388. environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  2389. used.
  2390. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  2391. both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
  2392. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
  2393. addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
  2394. warning is printed.
  2395. o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
  2396. is raised.
  2397. Image Formats:
  2398. ==============
  2399. U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
  2400. images in two formats:
  2401. New uImage format (FIT)
  2402. -----------------------
  2403. Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
  2404. to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
  2405. components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
  2406. SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
  2407. Old uImage format
  2408. -----------------
  2409. Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
  2410. preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
  2411. details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
  2412. * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  2413. 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
  2414. LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
  2415. Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
  2416. INTEGRITY).
  2417. * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
  2418. IA64, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
  2419. Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC).
  2420. * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
  2421. * Load Address
  2422. * Entry Point
  2423. * Image Name
  2424. * Image Timestamp
  2425. The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
  2426. and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
  2427. CRC32 checksums.
  2428. Linux Support:
  2429. ==============
  2430. Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
  2431. easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
  2432. U-Boot.
  2433. U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
  2434. special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
  2435. "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
  2436. instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
  2437. serves several purposes:
  2438. - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  2439. applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  2440. Flash memory footprint)
  2441. - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  2442. lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
  2443. - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  2444. images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  2445. be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  2446. have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  2447. change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  2448. software is easier now.
  2449. Linux HOWTO:
  2450. ============
  2451. Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
  2452. ---------------------------------------
  2453. U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
  2454. configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
  2455. (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
  2456. Linux :-).
  2457. But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
  2458. Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
  2459. include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
  2460. Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
  2461. and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
  2462. as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
  2463. Configuring the Linux kernel:
  2464. -----------------------------
  2465. No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
  2466. device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
  2467. Building a Linux Image:
  2468. -----------------------
  2469. With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
  2470. not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
  2471. "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
  2472. U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
  2473. which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
  2474. 100% compatible format.
  2475. Example:
  2476. make TQM850L_config
  2477. make oldconfig
  2478. make dep
  2479. make uImage
  2480. The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
  2481. encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
  2482. CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
  2483. * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
  2484. * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
  2485. ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
  2486. -R .note -R .comment \
  2487. -S vmlinux linux.bin
  2488. * compress the binary image:
  2489. gzip -9 linux.bin
  2490. * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
  2491. mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
  2492. -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
  2493. -d linux.bin.gz uImage
  2494. The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
  2495. with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
  2496. combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
  2497. byte header containing information about target architecture,
  2498. operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
  2499. stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
  2500. "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
  2501. print the header information, or to build new images.
  2502. In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
  2503. contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
  2504. checksum verification:
  2505. tools/mkimage -l image
  2506. -l ==> list image header information
  2507. The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
  2508. from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
  2509. tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
  2510. -n name -d data_file image
  2511. -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  2512. -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  2513. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  2514. -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  2515. -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  2516. -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  2517. -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  2518. -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  2519. Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
  2520. address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
  2521. kernel version:
  2522. - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
  2523. - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
  2524. So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
  2525. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2526. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
  2527. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
  2528. > examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2529. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2530. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2531. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2532. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2533. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2534. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2535. To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
  2536. -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2537. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2538. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2539. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2540. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2541. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2542. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2543. NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
  2544. speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
  2545. needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
  2546. need to be uncompressed:
  2547. -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
  2548. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2549. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
  2550. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux \

  2569. Installing a Linux Image:
  2570. -------------------------
  2571. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  2572. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  2573. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  2574. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  2575. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  2576. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  2577. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  2578. command.
  2579. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  2580. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  2581. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF

  2608. of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
  2609. parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
  2610. "printenv" and "setenv" commands:

  2719. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  2720. ------------------------------
  2721. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  2722. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  2723. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  2724. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  2725. the Standalone Program.
  2726. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  2727. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  2728. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  2729. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  2730. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  2731. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  2732. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  2733. being started.
  2734. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  2735. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  2736. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  2737. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  2738. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  2739. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  2740. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  2741. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  2742. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  2743. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  2744. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  2745. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  2746. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  2747. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  2748. flash memory.
  2749. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  2750. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  2751. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  2752. as command interpreter.
  2753. Standalone HOWTO:
  2754. =================
  2755. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  2756. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  2757. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  2758. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  2759. "Hello World" Demo:
  2760. -------------------
  2761. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  2762. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  2763. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  2764. like that:
  2765. => loads
  2766. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  2767. ~>examples/hello_world.srec
  2768. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
  2769. [file transfer complete]
  2770. [connected]
  2771. ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
  2772. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  2773. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  2774. Hello World
  2775. argc = 7
  2776. argv[0] = "40004"
  2777. argv[1] = "Hello"
  2778. argv[2] = "World!"
  2779. argv[3] = "This"
  2780. argv[4] = "is"
  2781. argv[5] = "a"
  2782. argv[6] = "test."
  2783. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  2784. Hit any key to exit ...
  2785. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  2786. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  2787. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  2788. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  2789. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  2790. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  2791. controlled by the following keys:
  2792. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  2793. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  2794. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  2795. q - quit application
  2796. => loads

  2827. Minicom warning:
  2828. ================
  2829. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  2830. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  2831. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  2832. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  2833. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  2834. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
  2835. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  2836. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  2837. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  2838. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  2839. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  2840. NetBSD Notes:
  2841. =============
  2842. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  2843. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  2844. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  2845. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  2846. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  2847. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  2848. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  2849. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  2850. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  2851. # mkdir powerpc
  2852. # ln -s powerpc machine
  2853. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  2854. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  2855. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  2856. and U-Boot include files.
  2857. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  2858. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  2859. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  2860. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  2861. meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
  2862. Implementation Internals:
  2863. =========================
  2864. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  2865. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  2866. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  2867. hardware.
  2868. Initial Stack, Global Data:
  2869. ---------------------------
  2870. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  2871. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  2872. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  2873. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  2874. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  2875. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  2876. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  2877. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  2878. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  2879. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  2880. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  2881. U-Boot mailing list:
  2882. Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
  2883. From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
  2884. Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
  2885. ...
  2886. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  2887. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  2888. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  2889. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  2890. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  2891. beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
  2892. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  2893. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  2894. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  2895. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  2896. initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  2897. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  2898. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  2899. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  2900. used.
  2901. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  2902. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  2903. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  2904. walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  2905. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  2906. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  2907. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  2908. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  2909. you get the config right.

  2912. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  2913. code for the initialization procedures:
  2914. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  2915. to write it.
  2916. * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
  2917. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  2918. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  2919. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  2920. that.
  2921. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  2922. normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
  2923. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  2924. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  2925. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  2926. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  2927. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  2928. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  2929. reserve for this purpose.
  2930. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  2931. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  2932. GCC's implementation.
  2933. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  2934. R1: stack pointer
  2935. R2: reserved for system use
  2936. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  2937. R5-R10: parameter passing
  2938. R13: small data area pointer
  2939. R30: GOT pointer
  2940. R31: frame pointer
  2941. (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
  2942. ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2943. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  2944. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  2945. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  2946. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  2947. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  2948. 624 text + 127 data).
  2949. On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:
  2950. http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
  2951. ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2952. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  2953. R0: function argument word/integer result
  2954. R1-R3: function argument word
  2955. R9: GOT pointer
  2956. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
  2957. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  2958. R12: temporary workspace
  2959. R13: stack pointer
  2960. R14: link register
  2961. R15: program counter
  2962. ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2963. NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
  2964. or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
  2965. Memory Management:
  2966. ------------------
  2967. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  2968. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  2969. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  2970. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  2971. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  2972. physical memory banks.
  2973. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  2974. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  2975. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  2976. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  2977. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
  2978. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  2979. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  2980. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  2981. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  2982. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  2983. this:
  2984. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
  2985. :
  2986. 0x0000 1FFF
  2987. 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
  2988. :
  2989. :
  2990. :
  2991. :
  2992. 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
  2993. 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
  2994. 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
  2995. :
  2996. 0x00FD FFFF
  2997. 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
  2998. ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
  2999. ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
  3000. 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
  3001. System Initialization:
  3002. ----------------------
  3003. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  3004. (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  3005. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
  3006. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  3007. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  3008. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  3009. which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
  3010. part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
  3011. the caches and the SIU.
  3012. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  3013. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  3014. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  3015. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  3016. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  3017. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  3018. banks.
  3019. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  3020. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  3021. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  3022. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  3023. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  3024. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  3025. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  3026. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  3027. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  3028. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  3029. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  3030. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  3031. new address in RAM.

  3077. Coding Standards:
  3078. -----------------
  3079. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  3080. coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
  3081. "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
  3082. originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
  3083. spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
  3084. Source files originating from a different project (for example the
  3085. MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
  3086. reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
  3087. sources.
  3088. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
  3089. Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
  3090. in your code.
  3091. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  3092. - remove any trailing white space
  3093. - use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
  3094. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  3095. - do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
  3096. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  3097. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  3098. with a request to reformat the changes.
  3099. Submitting Patches:
  3100. -------------------
  3101. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  3102. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  3103. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  3104. Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
  3105. Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
  3106. see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
  3107. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  3108. it:
  3109. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  3110. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  3111. patch actually fixes something.
  3112. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  3113. implementation.
  3114. * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
  3115. * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
  3116. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
  3117. board to the MAKEALL script, too.
  3118. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  3119. document these in the README file.
  3120. * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
  3121. recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
  3122. "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
  3123. the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
  3124. with some other mail clients.
  3125. If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
  3126. diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
  3127. GNU diff.
  3128. The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
  3129. directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
  3130. your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
  3131. affected files).
  3132. We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
  3133. and compressed attachments must not be used.
  3134. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  3135. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  3136. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  3137. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  3138. Notes:
  3139. * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
  3140. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  3141. for any of the boards.
  3142. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  3143. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  3144. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  3145. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  3146. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  3147. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  3148. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  3149. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  3150. modification.
  3151. * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
  3152. u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
  3153. reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
  3154. bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
