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

  135. Software Configuration:
  136. =======================
  137. Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
  138. rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
  139. There are two classes of configuration variables:
  140. * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  141. These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  142. "CONFIG_".
  143. * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  144. These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  145. you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  146. "CFG_".
  147. Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
  148. identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
  149. do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
  150. links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
  151. as an example here.
  152. Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
  153. ---------------------------------------------------
  154. For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
  155. configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
  156. Example: For a TQM823L module type:
  157. cd u-boot
  158. make TQM823L_config
  159. For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the cpu type as well;
  160. e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
  161. directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
  162. Configuration Options:
  163. ----------------------
  164. Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
  165. such information is kept in a configuration file
  166. "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
  167. Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
  168. "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
  169. Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
  170. kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
  171. build a config tool - later.
  172. The following options need to be configured:
  173. - CPU Type: Define exactly one of
  174. PowerPC based CPUs:

  242. CONFIG_VCMA9
  243. MicroBlaze based boards:
  244. ------------------------
  245. CONFIG_SUZAKU
  246. - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  247. Define exactly one of
  248. CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
  249. --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
  250. CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
  251. CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
  252. - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  253. Define exactly one of
  254. CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
  255. - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  256. Define one or more of
  257. CONFIG_CMA302
  258. - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
  259. Define one or more of
  260. CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
  261. the lcd display every second with
  262. a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
  263. - Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
  264. CONFIG_ADSTYPE
  265. Possible values are:
  266. CFG_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS
  267. CFG_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
  268. CFG_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
  269. CFG_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
  270. - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
  271. Define exactly one of
  272. CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
  273. - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx cpu)
  274. CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
  275. get_gclk_freq() cannot work
  276. e.g. if there is no 32KHz
  277. reference PIT/RTC clock
  278. CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
  279. or XTAL/EXTAL)
  280. - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
  281. CFG_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
  282. CFG_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
  283. CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
  284. See doc/README.MPC866
  285. CFG_MEASURE_CPUCLK
  286. Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
  287. of relying on the correctness of the configured
  288. values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
  289. the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
  290. that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
  291. RTC clock or CFG_8XX_XIN)
  292. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  293. CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
  294. U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
  295. internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
  296. kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
  297. bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
  298. "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
  299. converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
  300. Linux kernel.
  301. When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
  302. "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
  303. default environment.
  304. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  305. When transfering memsize parameter to linux, some versions
  306. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  307. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  308. - Serial Ports:
  309. CFG_PL010_SERIAL
  310. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  311. CFG_PL011_SERIAL
  312. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  313. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  314. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  315. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  316. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  317. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  318. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  319. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  320. - Console Interface:
  321. Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
  322. (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
  323. CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
  324. console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
  325. Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
  326. port routines must be defined elsewhere
  327. (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
  328. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  329. Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
  330. defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)
  331. VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
  332. (default big endian)
  333. VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
  334. rectangle fill
  335. (cf. smiLynxEM)
  336. VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
  337. bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
  338. VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
  339. (cols=pitch)
  340. VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
  341. VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
  342. VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
  343. (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
  344. VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
  345. VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
  346. (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
  347. VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
  348. (i.e. i8042_tstc)
  349. VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
  350. (i.e. i8042_getc)
  351. CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
  352. (requires blink timer
  353. cf. i8042.c)
  354. CFG_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
  355. CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
  356. upper right corner
  357. (requires CFG_CMD_DATE)
  358. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
  359. upper left corner
  360. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
  361. linux_logo.h for logo.
  362. Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  363. CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
  364. addional board info beside
  365. the logo
  366. When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
  367. default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
  368. environment 'console=serial'.
  369. When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
  370. messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
  371. the "silent" environment variable. See
  372. doc/README.silent for more information.
  373. - Console Baudrate:
  374. CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
  375. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  376. CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  377. CFG_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
  378. - Interrupt driven serial port input:
  379. CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
  380. PPC405GP only.
  381. Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
  382. serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
  383. (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
  384. bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
  385. Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
  386. disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
  387. - Console UART Number:
  388. CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
  389. IBM PPC4xx only.
  390. If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
  391. as default U-Boot console.
  392. - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
  393. Delay before automatically booting the default image;
  394. set to -1 to disable autoboot.
  395. See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
  396. work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
  397. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  398. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
  399. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
  400. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
  401. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  402. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  403. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
  404. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
  405. CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
  406. CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
  407. - Autoboot Command:
  408. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  409. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  410. define a command string that is automatically executed
  411. when no character is read on the console interface
  412. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  413. CONFIG_BOOTARGS
  414. This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
  415. command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
  416. environment value "bootargs".
  417. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  418. The value of these goes into the environment as
  419. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  420. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  421. ram and nfs.
  422. - Pre-Boot Commands:
  423. CONFIG_PREBOOT
  424. When this option is #defined, the existence of the
  425. environment variable "preboot" will be checked
  426. immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  427. countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
  428. entering interactive mode.
  429. This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
  430. automatically generated or modified. For an example
  431. see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
  432. modified when the user holds down a certain
  433. combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
  434. booting the systems
  435. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  436. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  437. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  438. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  439. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  440. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  441. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  442. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  443. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CFG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  444. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  445. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  446. CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  447. - Monitor Functions:
  448. CONFIG_COMMANDS
  449. Most monitor functions can be selected (or
  450. de-selected) by adjusting the definition of
  451. CONFIG_COMMANDS; to select individual functions,
  452. #define CONFIG_COMMANDS by "OR"ing any of the
  453. following values:
  454. #define enables commands:
  455. -------------------------
  456. CFG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable

  513. -----------------------------------------------
  514. CFG_CMD_ALL all
  515. CONFIG_CMD_DFL Default configuration; at the moment
  516. this is includes all commands, except
  517. the ones marked with "*" in the list
  518. above.
  519. If you don't define CONFIG_COMMANDS it defaults to
  520. CONFIG_CMD_DFL in include/cmd_confdefs.h. A board can
  521. override the default settings in the respective
  522. include file.
  523. EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
  524. support you can write:
  525. #define CONFIG_COMMANDS (CFG_CMD_ALL & ~CFG_CMD_NET)
  526. Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
  527. (configuration option CFG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
  528. what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
  529. cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
  530. 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
  531. uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
  532. systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
  533. initial stack and some data.
  534. XXX - this list needs to get updated!
  535. - Watchdog:
  536. CONFIG_WATCHDOG
  537. If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
  538. support. There must be support in the platform specific
  539. code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the
  540. SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
  541. register.
  542. - U-Boot Version:
  543. CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
  544. If this variable is defined, an environment variable
  545. named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
  546. version as printed by the "version" command.
  547. This variable is readonly.
  548. - Real-Time Clock:
  549. When CFG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
  550. has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
  551. following options:
  552. CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
  553. CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
  554. CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
  555. CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
  556. CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
  557. CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
  558. CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
  559. CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
  560. Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  561. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  562. - Timestamp Support:
  563. When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
  564. (date and time) of an image is printed by image
  565. commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
  566. automatically enabled when you select CFG_CMD_DATE .
  567. - Partition Support:
  568. CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION
  569. and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION
  570. If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CFG_CMD_IDE or
  571. CFG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at least
  572. one partition type as well.
  573. - IDE Reset method:
  574. CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
  575. board configurations files but used nowhere!
  576. CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
  577. be performed by calling the function
  578. ide_set_reset(int reset)
  579. which has to be defined in a board specific file
  580. - ATAPI Support:
  581. CONFIG_ATAPI
  582. Set this to enable ATAPI support.
  583. - LBA48 Support
  584. CONFIG_LBA48
  585. Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
  586. Also look at CFG_64BIT_LBA ,CFG_64BIT_VSPRINTF and CFG_64BIT_STRTOUL
  587. Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
  588. support disks up to 2.1TB.
  589. CFG_64BIT_LBA:
  590. When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
  591. Default is 32bit.
  592. - SCSI Support:
  593. At the moment only there is only support for the
  594. SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
  595. CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
  596. CFG_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CFG_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
  597. CFG_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CFG_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
  598. CFG_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
  599. maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
  600. devices.
  601. CFG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
  602. - NETWORK Support (PCI):

  630. CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT
  631. Define this if data bus is 32 bits
  632. CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS
  633. Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros
  634. (some hardware wont work with macros)
  635. - USB Support:
  636. At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
  637. supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
  638. CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
  639. define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
  640. and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
  641. storage devices.
  642. Note:
  643. Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
  644. (TEAC FD-05PUB).
  645. MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
  646. CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
  647. for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
  648. CONFIG_USB_CONFIG
  649. for differential drivers: 0x00001000
  650. for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
  651. - MMC Support:
  652. The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
  653. enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
  654. accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
  655. to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
  656. enabled with CFG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
  657. the FAT fs. This is enabled with CFG_CMD_FAT.
  658. - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
  659. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
  660. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
  661. Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
  662. CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
  663. CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CFG_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
  664. Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
  665. CFG_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
  666. Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
  667. function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
  668. If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
  669. #define CFG_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
  670. to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
  671. have not defined a custom partition
  672. - Keyboard Support:
  673. CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
  674. Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
  675. support
  676. CONFIG_I8042_KBD

  683. Define this to enable video support (for output to
  684. video).
  685. CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
  686. Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
  687. CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
  688. Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
  689. video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
  690. (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
  691. assumed.
  692. For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
  693. selected via environment 'videomode'. Two diferent ways
  694. are possible:
  695. - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
  696. Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
  697. Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
  698. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  699. 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
  700. 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
  701. 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
  702. 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
  703. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  704. (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
  705. - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
  706. from the bootargs. (See drivers/videomodes.c)
  707. CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
  708. Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
  709. and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
  710. or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
  711. - Keyboard Support:
  712. CONFIG_KEYBOARD
  713. Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
  714. This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
  715. defined in your board-specific files.
  716. The only board using this so far is RBC823.
  717. - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
  718. Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
  719. display); also select one of the supported displays
  720. by defining one of these:
  721. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
  722. NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
  723. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
  724. NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
  725. Active, color, single scan.
  726. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
  727. NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
  728. Active, color, single scan.
  729. CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
  730. Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
  731. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  732. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  733. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  734. Active, color, single scan.
  735. CONFIG_HLD1045
  736. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  737. Active, color, single scan.
  738. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  739. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  740. or
  741. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  742. or
  743. Hitachi SP14Q002
  744. 320x240. Black & white.
  745. Normally display is black on white background; define
  746. CFG_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
  747. - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
  748. If this option is set, the environment is checked for
  749. a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
  750. of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
  751. is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
  752. specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
  753. console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
  754. allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
  755. loaded very quickly after power-on.
  756. - Compression support:
  757. CONFIG_BZIP2
  758. If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  759. images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  760. compressed images are supported.
  761. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  762. the malloc area (as defined by CFG_MALLOC_LEN) should
  763. be at least 4MB.
  764. - MII/PHY support:
  765. CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
  766. The address of PHY on MII bus.
  767. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  768. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  769. CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
  770. If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
  771. detection of Gigabit PHY is included.
  772. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  773. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  774. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  775. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  776. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  777. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  778. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  779. command issued before MII status register can be read
  780. - Ethernet address:
  781. CONFIG_ETHADDR
  782. CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
  783. CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
  784. Define a default value for ethernet address to use
  785. for the respective ethernet interface, in case this
  786. is not determined automatically.
  787. - IP address:
  788. CONFIG_IPADDR
  789. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  790. the default ethernet interface, in case this is not
  791. determined through e.g. bootp.
  792. - Server IP address:
  793. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  794. Defines a default value for theIP address of a TFTP
  795. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  796. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  797. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  798. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  799. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  800. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  801. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  802. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  803. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  804. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  805. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  806. following delays are insterted then:
  807. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  808. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  809. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  810. 4th and following
  811. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  812. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  813. CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK
  814. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by adding
  815. these flags to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK define:
  816. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
  817. serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
  818. than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
  819. If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
  820. serverip will be stored in the additional environment
  821. variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
  822. stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  823. is added to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK.
  824. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
  825. to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
  826. need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
  827. If CONFIG_BOOP_SEND_HOSTNAME is added to the
  828. CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK, the content of the "hostname"
  829. environment variable is passed as option 12 to
  830. the DHCP server.
  831. - CDP Options:
  832. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  833. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  834. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  835. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  836. of the device.
  837. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  838. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  839. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  840. eth0 for the first ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  841. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  842. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  843. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  844. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  845. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  846. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  847. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  848. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  849. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  850. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  851. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  852. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  853. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  854. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  855. - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
  856. Several configurations allow to display the current
  857. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  858. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  859. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  860. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  861. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  862. kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
  863. feature in U-Boot.
  864. - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
  865. Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
  866. on those systems that support this (optional)
  867. feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
  868. - I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
  869. These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
  870. (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
  871. include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected cpu.
  872. This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
  873. command line (as long as you set CFG_CMD_I2C in
  874. CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
  875. clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
  876. command line interface.
  877. CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects the CPM hardware driver for I2C.
  878. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
  879. bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
  880. support for I2C.
  881. There are several other quantities that must also be
  882. defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
  883. In both cases you will need to define CFG_I2C_SPEED
  884. to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
  885. to run and CFG_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
  886. the cpu's i2c node address).
  887. Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
  888. sets the cpu up as a master node and so its address should
  889. therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
  890. p.16-473). So, set CFG_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
  891. That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
  892. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
  893. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  894. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  895. I2C_INIT
  896. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  897. controller or configure ports.
  898. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  899. I2C_PORT
  900. (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
  901. assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
  902. are 0..3 for ports A..D.
  903. I2C_ACTIVE
  904. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  905. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  906. define can be null.
  907. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  908. I2C_TRISTATE
  909. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  910. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  911. define can be null.
  912. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  913. I2C_READ
  914. Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
  915. FALSE if it is low.
  916. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  917. I2C_SDA(bit)
  918. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  919. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  920. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  921. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  922. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  923. I2C_SCL(bit)
  924. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  925. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  926. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  927. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  928. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  929. I2C_DELAY
  930. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  931. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  932. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  933. like:
  934. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  935. CFG_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  936. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  937. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  938. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  939. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  940. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  941. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  942. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  943. is run early in the boot sequence.
  944. CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  945. This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
  946. in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
  947. variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
  948. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  949. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  950. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  951. D/As on the SACSng board)
  952. CONFIG_SPI_X
  953. Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
  954. (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
  955. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  956. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  957. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  958. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  959. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  960. defined, the board configuration must define several
  961. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  962. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  963. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  964. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  965. CONFIG_FPGA
  966. Used to specify the types of FPGA devices. For example,
  967. #define CONFIG_FPGA CFG_XILINX_VIRTEX2
  968. CFG_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  969. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  970. CFG_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  971. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  972. status by the configuration function. This option
  973. will require a board or device specific function to
  974. be written.
  975. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  976. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  977. configuration driver.
  978. CFG_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  979. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  980. CFG_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  981. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  982. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  983. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  984. indicated a CRC error).
  985. CFG_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  986. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
  987. after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
  988. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  989. mS.
  990. CFG_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  991. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
  992. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 mS.
  993. CFG_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  994. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  995. 200 mS.
  996. - Configuration Management:
  997. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  998. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  999. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1000. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1001. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1002. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1003. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1004. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1005. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1006. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1007. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1008. change this behviour:
  1009. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1010. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1011. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1012. these parameters.
  1013. Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
  1014. _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1015. ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1016. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1017. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1018. read-only.]
  1019. - Protected RAM:
  1020. CONFIG_PRAM
  1021. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1022. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1023. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1024. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1025. this default value by defining an environment
  1026. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1027. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1028. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1029. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1030. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1031. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1032. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1033. setenv bootargs ... mem=\$(mem)
  1034. saveenv
  1035. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1036. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1037. not be affected by reboots.
  1038. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1039. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1040. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1041. following board configurations are known to be
  1042. "pRAM-clean":
  1043. ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
  1044. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
  1045. PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
  1046. - Error Recovery:
  1047. CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
  1048. Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
  1049. fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
  1050. This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
  1051. system where you want to system to reboot
  1052. automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
  1053. useful during development since you can try to debug
  1054. the conditions that lead to the situation.
  1055. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1056. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1057. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1058. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1059. default value of 5 is used.
  1060. - Command Interpreter:
  1061. CFG_AUTO_COMPLETE
  1062. Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
  1063. CFG_HUSH_PARSER
  1064. Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
  1065. Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
  1066. powerful command line syntax like
  1067. if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
  1068. constructs ("shell scripts").
  1069. If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
  1070. with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
  1071. CFG_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1072. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1073. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1074. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1075. Note:
  1076. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1077. space and global environment variables space are
  1078. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1079. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1080. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1081. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1082. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1083. Global environment variables are those you use
  1084. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1085. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1086. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1087. To store commands and special characters in a
  1088. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1089. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1090. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1091. symbols.
  1092. - Default Environment:
  1093. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1094. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1095. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1096. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1097. For example, place something like this in your
  1098. board's config file:
  1099. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1100. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1101. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1102. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1103. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1104. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1105. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1106. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1107. You better know what you are doing here.
  1108. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1109. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1110. the environment like the autoscript function or the
  1111. boot command first.
  1112. - DataFlash Support:
  1113. CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
  1114. Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
  1115. allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
  1116. commands cp, md...
  1117. - SystemACE Support:
  1118. CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1119. Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
  1120. chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
  1121. of the chip must alsh be defined in the
  1122. CFG_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
  1123. #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1124. #define CFG_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
  1125. When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
  1126. becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
  1127. - Show boot progress:
  1128. CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
  1129. Defining this option allows to add some board-
  1130. specific code (calling a user-provided function
  1131. "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
  1132. the system's boot progress on some display (for
  1133. example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
  1134. the following checkpoints are implemented:
  1135. Arg Where When
  1136. 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image
  1137. -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header has bad magic number

  1185. Modem Support:
  1186. --------------
  1187. [so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
  1188. - Modem support endable:
  1189. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
  1190. - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
  1191. CONFIG_HWFLOW
  1192. - Modem debug support:
  1193. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
  1194. Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
  1195. for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
  1196. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  1197. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  1198. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  1199. for cpu specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  1200. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  1201. cpu resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  1202. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  1203. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for cpu
  1204. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  1205. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  1206. general timer_interrupt().
  1207. - General:
  1208. In the target system modem support is enabled when a
  1209. specific key (key combination) is pressed during
  1210. power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
  1211. (autoboot). The key_pressed() fuction is called from
  1212. board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
  1213. function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
  1214. initialization.
  1215. If there are no modem init strings in the
  1216. environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
  1217. previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
  1218. supressed, though.
  1219. See also: doc/README.Modem
  1220. Configuration Settings:
  1221. -----------------------
  1222. - CFG_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  1223. undefine this when you're short of memory.
  1224. - CFG_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
  1225. prompt for user input.
  1226. - CFG_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  1227. - CFG_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  1228. - CFG_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands

  1234. - CFG_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
  1235. Suppress display of console information at boot.
  1236. - CFG_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  1237. If the board specific function
  1238. extern int overwrite_console (void);
  1239. returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
  1240. serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
  1241. - CFG_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
  1242. Enable the call to overwrite_console().
  1243. - CFG_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
  1244. Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
  1245. - CFG_MEMTEST_START, CFG_MEMTEST_END:
  1246. Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
  1247. simple memory test.
  1248. - CFG_ALT_MEMTEST:
  1249. Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
  1250. - CFG_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
  1251. Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
  1252. You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
  1253. - CFG_TFTP_LOADADDR:
  1254. Default load address for network file downloads
  1255. - CFG_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  1256. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  1257. - CFG_SDRAM_BASE:
  1258. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  1259. - CFG_MBIO_BASE:
  1260. Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
  1261. Cogent motherboard)
  1262. - CFG_FLASH_BASE:
  1263. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  1264. - CFG_MONITOR_BASE:
  1265. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  1266. make config files to be same as the text base address
  1267. (TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  1268. CFG_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  1269. - CFG_MONITOR_LEN:
  1270. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  1271. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  1272. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  1273. flash sector.
  1274. - CFG_MALLOC_LEN:
  1275. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  1276. - CFG_BOOTMAPSZ:
  1277. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  1278. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  1279. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, eventually
  1280. initrd image) must be put below this limit.
  1281. - CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  1282. Max number of Flash memory banks
  1283. - CFG_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
  1284. Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
  1285. - CFG_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
  1286. Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
  1287. - CFG_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
  1288. Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
  1289. - CFG_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
  1290. Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
  1291. - CFG_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
  1292. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  1293. - CFG_FLASH_PROTECTION
  1294. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  1295. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  1296. - CFG_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  1297. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  1298. without this option such a download has to be
  1299. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  1300. copy from RAM to flash.
  1301. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  1302. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  1303. the flash, but in some situations (when sytem RAM is
  1304. too limited to allow for a tempory copy of the
  1305. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  1306. - CFG_FLASH_CFI:
  1307. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  1308. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  1309. - CFG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  1310. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  1311. in the drivers directory
  1312. - CFG_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  1313. Defines the number of ethernet receive buffers. On some
  1314. ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  1315. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  1316. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  1317. on high ethernet traffic.
  1318. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  1319. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  1320. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  1321. following configurations:
  1322. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
  1323. Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
  1324. a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
  1325. "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
  1326. happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
  1327. sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
  1328. sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
  1329. layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
  1330. such a case you would place the environment in one of the
  1331. 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
  1332. "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
  1333. environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
  1334. between U-Boot and the environment.
  1335. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1336. Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
  1337. beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
  1338. type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
  1339. for this sector is given here.
  1340. CFG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CFG_FLASH_BASE.
  1341. - CFG_ENV_ADDR:
  1342. This is just another way to specify the start address of
  1343. the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
  1344. CFG_ENV_OFFSET).
  1345. - CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
  1346. Size of the sector containing the environment.
  1347. b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
  1348. In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
  1349. the environment.
  1350. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1351. If you use this in combination with CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
  1352. and CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
  1353. of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
  1354. memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
  1355. It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
  1356. when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
  1357. since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
  1358. for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
  1359. STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
  1360. updating the environment in flash makes it always
  1361. necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
  1362. wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
  1363. RAM, your target system will be dead.
  1364. - CFG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
  1365. CFG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
  1366. These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
  1367. a redundand copy of the environment data, so that there is
  1368. a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
  1369. a "saveenv" operation.
  1370. BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
  1371. source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
  1372. accordingly!
  1373. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
  1374. Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
  1375. (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
  1376. environment.
  1377. - CFG_ENV_ADDR:
  1378. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1379. These two #defines are used to determin the memory area you
  1380. want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
  1381. can just be read and written to, without any special
  1382. provision.
  1383. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  1384. in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  1385. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mappend your NVRAM area then, or
  1386. U-Boot will hang.
  1387. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  1388. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  1389. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  1390. to save the current settings.
  1391. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
  1392. Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
  1393. device and a driver for it.
  1394. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1395. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1396. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1397. environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
  1398. - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
  1399. If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
  1400. The default address is zero.
  1401. - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
  1402. If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
  1403. single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
  1404. would require six bits.
  1405. - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
  1406. If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
  1407. page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
  1408. - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
  1409. The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
  1410. that this is NOT the chip address length!
  1411. - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
  1412. EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
  1413. like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
  1414. address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
  1415. slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
  1416. byte chips.
  1417. Note that we consider the length of the address field to
  1418. still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
  1419. in the chip address.
  1420. - CFG_EEPROM_SIZE:
  1421. The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
  1422. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
  1423. Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
  1424. want to use for the environment.
  1425. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1426. - CFG_ENV_ADDR:
  1427. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1428. These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1429. environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
  1430. at the specified address.
  1431. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
  1432. Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
  1433. for the environment.
  1434. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1435. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1436. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
  1437. area within the first NAND device.
  1438. - CFG_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
  1439. Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
  1440. area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
  1441. is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
  1442. scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
  1443. calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
  1444. to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
  1445. start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
  1446. Please note that the environment is read-only as long as the monitor
  1447. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  1448. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
  1449. until then to read environment variables.
  1450. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  1451. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  1452. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  1453. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  1454. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  1455. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  1456. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  1457. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  1458. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  1459. - CFG_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  1460. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  1461. Note: If this option is active, then CFG_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  1462. also needs to be defined.
  1463. - CFG_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  1464. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  1465. - CFG_64BIT_VSPRINTF:
  1466. Makes vsprintf (and all *printf functions) support printing
  1467. of 64bit values by using the L quantifier
  1468. - CFG_64BIT_STRTOUL:
  1469. Adds simple_strtoull that returns a 64bit value
  1470. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  1471. ---------------------------------------------------
  1472. - CFG_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  1473. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  1474. - CFG_DEFAULT_IMMR:
  1475. Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
  1476. Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
  1477. and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
  1478. the IMMR register after a reset.
  1479. - Floppy Disk Support:
  1480. CFG_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
  1481. the default drive number (default value 0)
  1482. CFG_ISA_IO_STRIDE
  1483. defines the spacing between fdc chipset registers
  1484. (default value 1)
  1485. CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET
  1486. defines the offset of register from address. It
  1487. depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
  1488. the fdc chipset. (default value 0)
  1489. If CFG_ISA_IO_STRIDE CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
  1490. CFG_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
  1491. default value.
  1492. if CFG_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
  1493. fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
  1494. setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
  1495. source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
  1496. initializations.
  1497. - CFG_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory Mapped
  1498. Register; DO NOT CHANGE! (11-4)
  1499. [MPC8xx systems only]
  1500. - CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  1501. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  1502. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  1503. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  1504. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  1505. will become available only after programming the
  1506. memory controller and running certain initialization
  1507. sequences.
  1508. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  1509. - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  1510. - MPC824X: data cache
  1511. - PPC4xx: data cache
  1512. - CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  1513. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  1514. area defined by CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  1515. CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  1516. data is located at the end of the available space
  1517. (sometimes written as (CFG_INIT_RAM_END -
  1518. CFG_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  1519. below that area (growing from (CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  1520. CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  1521. Note:
  1522. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  1523. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  1524. CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  1525. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  1526. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

  1557. - CFG_USE_OSCCLK:
  1558. Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
  1559. wrong setting might damage your board. Read
  1560. doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
  1561. - CFG_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
  1562. Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post

  1575. - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
  1576. Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
  1577. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
  1578. Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
  1579. to the given FEC; i. e.
  1580. #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
  1581. means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
  1582. When set to -1, means to probe for first available.

  1595. and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
  1596. area should have.
  1597. - CONFIG_LOOPW
  1598. Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
  1599. the memory commands are activated globally (CFG_CMD_MEM).
  1600. Building the Software:
  1601. ======================
  1602. Building U-Boot has been tested in native PPC environments (on a
  1603. PowerBook G3 running LinuxPPC 2000) and in cross environments
  1604. (running RedHat 6.x and 7.x Linux on x86, Solaris 2.6 on a SPARC, and
  1605. NetBSD 1.5 on x86).
  1606. If you are not using a native PPC environment, it is assumed that you
  1607. have the GNU cross compiling tools available in your path and named
  1608. with a prefix of "powerpc-linux-". If this is not the case, (e.g. if
  1609. you are using Monta Vista's Hard Hat Linux CDK 1.2) you must change
  1610. the definition of CROSS_COMPILE in Makefile. For HHL on a 4xx CPU,
  1611. change it to:
  1612. CROSS_COMPILE = ppc_4xx-
  1613. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  1614. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  1615. is done by typing:
  1616. make NAME_config
  1617. where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing
  1618. configurations; the following names are supported:
  1619. ADCIOP_config FPS860L_config omap730p2_config
  1620. ADS860_config GEN860T_config pcu_e_config
  1621. AR405_config GENIETV_config PIP405_config
  1622. at91rm9200dk_config GTH_config QS823_config
  1623. CANBT_config hermes_config QS850_config
  1624. cmi_mpc5xx_config hymod_config QS860T_config
  1625. cogent_common_config IP860_config RPXlite_config
  1626. cogent_mpc8260_config IVML24_config RPXlite_DW_config
  1627. cogent_mpc8xx_config IVMS8_config RPXsuper_config
  1628. CPCI405_config JSE_config rsdproto_config

  1638. FADS850SAR_config omap1610h2_config TQM850L_config
  1639. FADS860T_config omap1610inn_config TQM855L_config
  1640. FPS850L_config omap5912osk_config TQM860L_config
  1641. WALNUT405_config
  1642. ZPC1900_config
  1643. Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
  1644. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  1645. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  1646. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  1647. when chosing the configuration, i. e.
  1648. make TQM823L_config
  1649. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  1650. make TQM823L_LCD_config
  1651. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  1652. etc.
  1653. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  1654. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  1655. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  1656. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  1657. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  1658. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  1659. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  1660. native "make".
  1661. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  1662. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  1663. steps:
  1664. 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
  1665. "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
  1666. entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
  1667. boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
  1668. keep this order.
  1669. 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  1670. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  1671. the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
  1672. 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  1673. your board
  1674. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  1675. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  1676. 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
  1677. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  1678. to be installed on your target system.
  1679. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  1680. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  1681. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  1682. ==============================================================
  1683. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  1684. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  1685. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  1686. the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  1687. official or latest in CVS) version of U-Boot sources.
  1688. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  1689. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  1690. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  1691. just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
  1692. for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
  1693. select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
  1694. environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the cross tools from
  1695. MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux you can type
  1696. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  1697. or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
  1698. CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
  1699. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

  1752. TODO.
  1753. For now: just type "help <command>".
  1754. Environment Variables:
  1755. ======================
  1756. U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
  1757. can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
  1758. Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
  1759. "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
  1760. without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
  1761. environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
  1762. working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
  1763. environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
  1764. Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables:
  1765. baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
  1766. bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  1767. bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  1768. bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
  1769. bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
  1770. autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
  1771. "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
  1772. configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
  1773. load any image using TFTP
  1774. autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
  1775. "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
  1776. be automatically started (by internally calling
  1777. "bootm")
  1778. If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
  1779. "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
  1780. (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
  1781. This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
  1782. data.
  1783. i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  1784. if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
  1785. mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
  1786. initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
  1787. it must be saved and board must be reset.
  1788. initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
  1789. If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
  1790. copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
  1791. is usually what you want since it allows for
  1792. maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
  1793. make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
  1794. CFG_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
  1795. variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
  1796. Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
  1797. address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
  1798. does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
  1799. For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
  1800. RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
  1801. you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
  1802. the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
  1803. sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
  1804. 12 MB as well - this can be done with
  1805. setenv initrd_high 00c00000
  1806. If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
  1807. indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
  1808. for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
  1809. memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
  1810. ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
  1811. boot time on your system, but requires that this
  1812. feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
  1813. ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  1814. loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
  1815. "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
  1816. loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  1817. serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  1818. bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  1819. bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  1820. bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  1821. ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  1822. interface is used first.
  1823. ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  1824. interface is currently active. For example you
  1825. can do the following
  1826. => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
  1827. => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
  1828. => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
  1829. => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
  1830. netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
  1831. either succeed or fail without retrying.
  1832. When set to "once" the network operation will
  1833. fail when all the available network interfaces
  1834. are tried once without success.
  1835. Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
  1836. themselves.
  1837. vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
  1838. ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
  1839. VLAN tagged frames.
  1840. The following environment variables may be used and automatically
  1841. updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
  1842. depending the information provided by your boot server:
  1843. bootfile - see above
  1844. dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
  1845. dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
  1846. gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
  1847. hostname - Target hostname
  1848. ipaddr - see above
  1849. netmask - Subnet Mask
  1850. rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
  1851. serverip - see above
  1852. There are two special Environment Variables:
  1853. serial# - contains hardware identification information such
  1854. as type string and/or serial number
  1855. ethaddr - Ethernet address
  1856. These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
  1857. the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
  1858. once they have been set once.
  1859. Further special Environment Variables:
  1860. ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
  1861. with the "version" command. This variable is
  1862. readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
  1863. Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
  1864. only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
  1865. Command Line Parsing:
  1866. =====================
  1867. There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
  1868. the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
  1869. Old, simple command line parser:
  1870. --------------------------------
  1871. - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
  1872. - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
  1873. - variable substitution using "... $(name) ..." syntax
  1874. - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
  1875. for example:
  1876. setenv bootcmd bootm \$(address)
  1877. - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
  1878. setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
  1879. Hush shell:
  1880. -----------
  1881. - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
  1882. if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
  1883. until...do...done, ...
  1884. - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
  1885. commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
  1886. "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
  1887. command
  1888. General rules:
  1889. --------------
  1890. (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
  1891. command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
  1892. one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
  1893. executed anyway.
  1894. (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
  1895. calling run with a list af variables as arguments), any failing
  1896. command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
  1897. variables are not executed.
  1898. Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
  1899. =======================================
  1900. Some boards come with redundant ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
  1901. such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
  1902. "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
  1903. Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
  1904. MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
  1905. "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
  1906. If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
  1907. in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
  1908. ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
  1909. variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
  1910. o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  1911. environment, the SROM's address is used.
  1912. o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  1913. environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  1914. used.
  1915. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  1916. both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
  1917. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
  1918. addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
  1919. warning is printed.
  1920. o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
  1921. is raised.
  1922. Image Formats:
  1923. ==============
  1924. The "boot" commands of this monitor operate on "image" files which
  1925. can be basicly anything, preceeded by a special header; see the
  1926. definitions in include/image.h for details; basicly, the header
  1927. defines the following image properties:
  1928. * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  1929. 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
  1930. LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, ARTOS;
  1931. Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, ARTOS, LynxOS).
  1932. * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86,
  1933. IA64, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
  1934. Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC).
  1935. * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
  1936. * Load Address
  1937. * Entry Point
  1938. * Image Name
  1939. * Image Timestamp
  1940. The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
  1941. and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
  1942. CRC32 checksums.
  1943. Linux Support:
  1944. ==============
  1945. Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
  1946. easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
  1947. U-Boot.
  1948. U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
  1949. special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
  1950. "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
  1951. instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
  1952. serves several purposes:
  1953. - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  1954. applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  1955. Flash memory footprint)
  1956. - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  1957. lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
  1958. - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  1959. images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  1960. be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  1961. have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  1962. change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  1963. software is easier now.
  1964. Linux HOWTO:
  1965. ============
  1966. Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
  1967. ---------------------------------------
  1968. U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
  1969. configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
  1970. (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
  1971. Linux :-).
  1972. But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
  1973. Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
  1974. include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
  1975. Information structure as we define in include/u-boot.h, and make
  1976. sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value as your
  1977. U-Boot configuration in CFG_IMMR.
  1978. Configuring the Linux kernel:
  1979. -----------------------------
  1980. No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
  1981. device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
  1982. Building a Linux Image:
  1983. -----------------------
  1984. With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
  1985. not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
  1986. "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
  1987. U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
  1988. which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
  1989. 100% compatible format.
  1990. Example:
  1991. make TQM850L_config
  1992. make oldconfig
  1993. make dep
  1994. make uImage
  1995. The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
  1996. encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
  1997. CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
  1998. * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
  1999. * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
  2000. ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
  2001. -R .note -R .comment \
  2002. -S vmlinux linux.bin
  2003. * compress the binary image:
  2004. gzip -9 linux.bin
  2005. * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
  2006. mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
  2007. -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
  2008. -d linux.bin.gz uImage
  2009. The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
  2010. with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
  2011. combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
  2012. byte header containing information about target architecture,
  2013. operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
  2014. stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
  2015. "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
  2016. print the header information, or to build new images.
  2017. In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
  2018. contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
  2019. checksum verification:
  2020. tools/mkimage -l image
  2021. -l ==> list image header information
  2022. The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
  2023. from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
  2024. tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
  2025. -n name -d data_file image
  2026. -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  2027. -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  2028. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  2029. -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  2030. -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  2031. -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  2032. -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  2033. -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  2034. Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
  2035. address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
  2036. kernel version:
  2037. - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
  2038. - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
  2039. So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
  2040. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2041. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
  2042. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
  2043. > examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2044. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2045. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2046. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2047. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2048. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2049. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2050. To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
  2051. -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2052. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2053. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2054. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)

  2056. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2057. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2058. NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
  2059. speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
  2060. needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
  2061. need to be uncompressed:
  2062. -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
  2063. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2064. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
  2065. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux \
  2066. > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed

  2071. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2072. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2073. Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
  2074. when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
  2075. -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
  2076. > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
  2077. > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

  2082. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2083. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2084. Installing a Linux Image:
  2085. -------------------------
  2086. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  2087. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  2088. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  2089. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  2090. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  2091. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  2092. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  2093. command.
  2094. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  2095. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  2096. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF

  2189. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  2190. ------------------------------
  2191. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  2192. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  2193. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  2194. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  2195. the Standalone Program.
  2196. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  2197. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  2198. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  2199. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  2200. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  2201. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  2202. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  2203. being started.
  2204. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  2205. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  2206. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  2207. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  2208. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  2209. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  2210. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  2211. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  2212. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  2213. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  2214. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  2215. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  2216. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  2217. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  2218. flash memory.
  2219. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  2220. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  2221. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  2222. as command interpreter.
  2223. Standalone HOWTO:
  2224. =================
  2225. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  2226. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  2227. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  2228. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  2229. "Hello World" Demo:
  2230. -------------------
  2231. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  2232. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  2233. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  2234. like that:
  2235. => loads
  2236. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  2237. ~>examples/hello_world.srec

  2241. ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
  2242. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  2243. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  2244. Hello World
  2245. argc = 7
  2246. argv[0] = "40004"
  2247. argv[1] = "Hello"
  2248. argv[2] = "World!"
  2249. argv[3] = "This"
  2250. argv[4] = "is"
  2251. argv[5] = "a"
  2252. argv[6] = "test."
  2253. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  2254. Hit any key to exit ...
  2255. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  2256. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  2257. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  2258. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  2259. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  2260. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  2261. controlled by the following keys:
  2262. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  2263. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  2264. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  2265. q - quit application

  2297. Minicom warning:
  2298. ================
  2299. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  2300. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  2301. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  2302. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  2303. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  2304. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
  2305. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  2306. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  2307. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  2308. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  2309. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  2310. NetBSD Notes:
  2311. =============
  2312. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  2313. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  2314. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  2315. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  2316. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  2317. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  2318. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  2319. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  2320. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  2321. # mkdir powerpc
  2322. # ln -s powerpc machine
  2323. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  2324. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  2325. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  2326. and U-Boot include files.
  2327. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  2328. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  2329. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  2330. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  2331. meantime, send mail to bruno@exet-ag.de and/or wd@denx.de for
  2332. details.
  2333. Implementation Internals:
  2334. =========================
  2335. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  2336. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  2337. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  2338. hardware.
  2339. Initial Stack, Global Data:
  2340. ---------------------------
  2341. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  2342. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  2343. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  2344. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  2345. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  2346. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  2347. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  2348. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  2349. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  2350. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  2351. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  2352. u-boot-users mailing list:
  2353. Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
  2354. From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
  2355. Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
  2356. ...
  2357. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  2358. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  2359. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  2360. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  2361. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  2362. beyond the scope of this list to expain the details, but you
  2363. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  2364. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  2365. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  2366. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  2367. initial stack/ram area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  2368. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  2369. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  2370. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  2371. used.
  2372. CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  2373. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  2374. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  2375. Walnut405.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  2376. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  2377. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  2378. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  2379. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  2380. you get the config right.
  2381. -Chris Hallinan
  2382. DS4.COM, Inc.
  2383. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  2384. code for the initialization procedures:
  2385. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  2386. to write it.
  2387. * Do not use any unitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
  2388. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  2389. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  2390. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  2391. that.
  2392. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  2393. normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
  2394. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  2395. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  2396. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  2397. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  2398. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  2399. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  2400. reserve for this purpose.
  2401. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  2402. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  2403. GCC's implementation.
  2404. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  2405. R1: stack pointer
  2406. R2: TOC pointer
  2407. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  2408. R5-R10: parameter passing
  2409. R13: small data area pointer
  2410. R30: GOT pointer
  2411. R31: frame pointer
  2412. (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
  2413. ==> U-Boot will use R29 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2414. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  2415. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  2416. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  2417. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  2418. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  2419. 624 text + 127 data).
  2420. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  2421. R0: function argument word/integer result
  2422. R1-R3: function argument word
  2423. R9: GOT pointer
  2424. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
  2425. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  2426. R12: temporary workspace
  2427. R13: stack pointer
  2428. R14: link register
  2429. R15: program counter
  2430. ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2431. Memory Management:
  2432. ------------------
  2433. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  2434. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  2435. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  2436. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  2437. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  2438. physical memory banks.
  2439. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  2440. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  2441. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  2442. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  2443. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CFG_MALLOC_LEN
  2444. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  2445. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  2446. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  2447. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  2448. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  2449. this:
  2450. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
  2451. :
  2452. 0x0000 1FFF
  2453. 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
  2454. :
  2455. :
  2456. :
  2457. :
  2458. 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
  2459. 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
  2460. 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena

  2467. System Initialization:
  2468. ----------------------
  2469. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  2470. (on most PowerPC systens at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  2471. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
  2472. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  2473. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  2474. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  2475. which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
  2476. part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
  2477. the caches and the SIU.
  2478. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  2479. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  2480. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  2481. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  2482. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  2483. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  2484. banks.
  2485. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  2486. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  2487. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  2488. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  2489. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  2490. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  2491. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  2492. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  2493. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  2494. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  2495. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  2496. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  2497. new address in RAM.

  2543. Coding Standards:
  2544. -----------------
  2545. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  2546. coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" in your Linux
  2547. kernel source directory.
  2548. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts
  2549. in Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style
  2550. comments (//) in your code.
  2551. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  2552. - remove any trailing white space
  2553. - use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
  2554. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  2555. - do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
  2556. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  2557. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  2558. with a request to reformat the changes.
  2559. Submitting Patches:
  2560. -------------------
  2561. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  2562. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  2563. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  2564. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  2565. it:
  2566. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  2567. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  2568. patch actually fixes something.
  2569. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  2570. implementation.
  2571. * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
  2572. * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
  2573. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
  2574. board to the MAKEALL script, too.
  2575. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  2576. document these in the README file.
  2577. * The patch itself. If you are accessing the CVS repository use "cvs
  2578. update; cvs diff -puRN"; else, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your
  2579. version of diff does not support these options, then get the latest
  2580. version of GNU diff.
  2581. The current directory when running this command shall be the top
  2582. level directory of the U-Boot source tree, or it's parent directory
  2583. (i. e. please make sure that your patch includes sufficient
  2584. directory information for the affected files).
  2585. We accept patches as plain text, MIME attachments or as uuencoded
  2586. gzipped text.
  2587. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  2588. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  2589. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  2590. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  2591. Notes:
  2592. * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
  2593. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  2594. for any of the boards.
  2595. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  2596. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  2597. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  2598. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  2599. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  2600. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  2601. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  2602. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  2603. modification.
