  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.

  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".

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

  250. Nios-2 based boards:
  251. ------------------------
  252. CONFIG_PCI5441 CONFIG_PK1C20
  253. - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  254. Define exactly one of
  255. CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
  256. --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
  257. CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
  258. CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
  259. - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  260. Define exactly one of
  261. CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
  262. - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  263. Define one or more of
  264. CONFIG_CMA302
  265. - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
  266. Define one or more of
  267. CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
  268. the lcd display every second with
  269. a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
  270. - Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
  271. CONFIG_ADSTYPE
  272. Possible values are:
  273. CFG_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS
  274. CFG_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
  275. CFG_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
  276. CFG_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
  277. - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
  278. Define exactly one of
  279. CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
  280. - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx cpu)
  281. CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
  282. get_gclk_freq() cannot work
  283. e.g. if there is no 32KHz
  284. reference PIT/RTC clock
  285. CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
  286. or XTAL/EXTAL)
  287. - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
  288. CFG_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
  289. CFG_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
  290. CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
  291. See doc/README.MPC866
  292. CFG_MEASURE_CPUCLK
  293. Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
  294. of relying on the correctness of the configured
  295. values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
  296. the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
  297. that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
  298. RTC clock or CFG_8XX_XIN)
  299. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  300. CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
  301. U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
  302. internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
  303. kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
  304. bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
  305. "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
  306. converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
  307. Linux kernel.
  308. When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
  309. "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
  310. default environment.
  311. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  312. When transfering memsize parameter to linux, some versions
  313. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  314. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  315. - Serial Ports:
  316. CFG_PL010_SERIAL
  317. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  318. CFG_PL011_SERIAL
  319. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  320. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  321. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  322. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  323. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  324. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  325. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  326. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  327. - Console Interface:
  328. Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
  329. (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
  330. CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
  331. console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
  332. Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
  333. port routines must be defined elsewhere
  334. (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
  335. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  336. Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
  337. defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)
  338. VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
  339. (default big endian)
  340. VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
  341. rectangle fill
  342. (cf. smiLynxEM)
  343. VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
  344. bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
  345. VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
  346. (cols=pitch)
  347. VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
  348. VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
  349. VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
  350. (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
  351. VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
  352. VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
  353. (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
  354. VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
  355. (i.e. i8042_tstc)
  356. VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
  357. (i.e. i8042_getc)
  358. CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
  359. (requires blink timer
  360. cf. i8042.c)
  361. CFG_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
  362. CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
  363. upper right corner
  364. (requires CFG_CMD_DATE)
  365. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
  366. upper left corner
  367. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
  368. linux_logo.h for logo.
  369. Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  370. CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
  371. addional board info beside
  372. the logo
  373. When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
  374. default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
  375. environment 'console=serial'.
  376. When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
  377. messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
  378. the "silent" environment variable. See
  379. doc/README.silent for more information.
  380. - Console Baudrate:
  381. CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
  382. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  383. CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  384. CFG_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
  385. - Interrupt driven serial port input:
  386. CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
  387. PPC405GP only.
  388. Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
  389. serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
  390. (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
  391. bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
  392. Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
  393. disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
  394. - Console UART Number:
  395. CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
  396. IBM PPC4xx only.
  397. If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
  398. as default U-Boot console.
  399. - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
  400. Delay before automatically booting the default image;
  401. set to -1 to disable autoboot.
  402. See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
  403. work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
  404. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  405. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
  406. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
  407. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
  408. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  409. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  410. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
  411. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
  412. CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
  413. CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
  414. - Autoboot Command:
  415. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  416. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  417. define a command string that is automatically executed
  418. when no character is read on the console interface
  419. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  420. CONFIG_BOOTARGS
  421. This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
  422. command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
  423. environment value "bootargs".
  424. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  425. The value of these goes into the environment as
  426. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  427. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  428. ram and nfs.
  429. - Pre-Boot Commands:
  430. CONFIG_PREBOOT
  431. When this option is #defined, the existence of the
  432. environment variable "preboot" will be checked
  433. immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  434. countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
  435. entering interactive mode.
  436. This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
  437. automatically generated or modified. For an example
  438. see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
  439. modified when the user holds down a certain
  440. combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
  441. booting the systems
  442. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  443. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  444. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  445. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  446. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  447. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  448. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  449. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  450. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CFG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  451. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  452. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  453. CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  454. - Monitor Functions:
  455. CONFIG_COMMANDS
  456. Most monitor functions can be selected (or
  457. de-selected) by adjusting the definition of
  458. CONFIG_COMMANDS; to select individual functions,
  459. #define CONFIG_COMMANDS by "OR"ing any of the
  460. following values:
  461. #define enables commands:
  462. -------------------------
  463. CFG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable
  464. CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT Autoscript Support
  465. CFG_CMD_BDI bdinfo
  466. CFG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger

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

  615. write routine for first time initialisation.
  616. CONFIG_TULIP
  617. Support for Digital 2114x chips.
  618. Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific
  619. modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611).
  620. CONFIG_NATSEMI
  621. Support for National dp83815 chips.
  622. CONFIG_NS8382X

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

  687. for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
  688. - Video support:
  689. CONFIG_VIDEO
  690. Define this to enable video support (for output to
  691. video).
  692. CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
  693. Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
  694. CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
  695. Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
  696. video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
  697. (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
  698. assumed.
  699. For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
  700. selected via environment 'videomode'. Two diferent ways
  701. are possible:
  702. - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
  703. Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
  704. Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
  705. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  706. 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
  707. 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319
  708. 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
  709. 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
  710. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  711. (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
  712. - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
  713. from the bootargs. (See drivers/videomodes.c)
  714. CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
  715. Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
  716. and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
  717. or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
  718. - Keyboard Support:
  719. CONFIG_KEYBOARD
  720. Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
  721. This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
  722. defined in your board-specific files.
  723. The only board using this so far is RBC823.
  724. - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
  725. Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
  726. display); also select one of the supported displays
  727. by defining one of these:
  728. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
  729. NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
  730. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
  731. NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
  732. Active, color, single scan.
  733. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
  734. NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
  735. Active, color, single scan.
  736. CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
  737. Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
  738. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  739. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  740. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  741. Active, color, single scan.
  742. CONFIG_HLD1045
  743. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  744. Active, color, single scan.
  745. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  746. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  747. or
  748. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  749. or
  750. Hitachi SP14Q002
  751. 320x240. Black & white.
  752. Normally display is black on white background; define
  753. CFG_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
  754. - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
  755. If this option is set, the environment is checked for
  756. a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
  757. of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
  758. is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
  759. specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
  760. console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
  761. allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
  762. loaded very quickly after power-on.
  763. - Compression support:
  764. CONFIG_BZIP2
  765. If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  766. images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  767. compressed images are supported.
  768. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  769. the malloc area (as defined by CFG_MALLOC_LEN) should
  770. be at least 4MB.
  771. - MII/PHY support:
  772. CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
  773. The address of PHY on MII bus.
  774. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  775. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  776. CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
  777. If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
  778. detection of Gigabit PHY is included.
  779. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  780. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  781. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  782. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  783. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  784. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  785. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  786. command issued before MII status register can be read
  787. - Ethernet address:
  788. CONFIG_ETHADDR
  789. CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
  790. CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
  791. Define a default value for ethernet address to use
  792. for the respective ethernet interface, in case this
  793. is not determined automatically.
  794. - IP address:
  795. CONFIG_IPADDR
  796. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  797. the default ethernet interface, in case this is not
  798. determined through e.g. bootp.
  799. - Server IP address:
  800. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  801. Defines a default value for theIP address of a TFTP
  802. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  803. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  804. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  805. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  806. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  807. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  808. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  809. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  810. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  811. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  812. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  813. following delays are insterted then:
  814. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  815. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  816. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  817. 4th and following
  818. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  819. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  820. CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK
  821. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by adding
  822. these flags to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK define:
  823. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
  824. serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
  825. than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
  826. If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
  827. serverip will be stored in the additional environment
  828. variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
  829. stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  830. is added to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK.
  831. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
  832. to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
  833. need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
  834. If CONFIG_BOOP_SEND_HOSTNAME is added to the
  835. CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK, the content of the "hostname"
  836. environment variable is passed as option 12 to
  837. the DHCP server.
  838. - CDP Options:
  839. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  840. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  841. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  842. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  843. of the device.
  844. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  845. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  846. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  847. eth0 for the first ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  848. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  849. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  850. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  851. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  852. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  853. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  854. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  855. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  856. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  857. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  858. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  859. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  860. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  861. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  862. - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
  863. Several configurations allow to display the current
  864. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  865. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  866. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  867. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  868. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  869. kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
  870. feature in U-Boot.
  871. - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
  872. Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
  873. on those systems that support this (optional)
  874. feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
  875. - I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
  876. These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
  877. (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
  878. include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected cpu.
  879. This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
  880. command line (as long as you set CFG_CMD_I2C in
  881. CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
  882. clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
  883. command line interface.
  884. CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects the CPM hardware driver for I2C.
  885. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
  886. bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
  887. support for I2C.
  888. There are several other quantities that must also be
  889. defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
  890. In both cases you will need to define CFG_I2C_SPEED
  891. to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
  892. to run and CFG_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
  893. the cpu's i2c node address).
  894. Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
  895. sets the cpu up as a master node and so its address should
  896. therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
  897. p.16-473). So, set CFG_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
  898. That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
  899. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
  900. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  901. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  902. I2C_INIT
  903. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  904. controller or configure ports.
  905. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  906. I2C_PORT
  907. (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
  908. assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
  909. are 0..3 for ports A..D.
  910. I2C_ACTIVE
  911. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  912. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  913. define can be null.
  914. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  915. I2C_TRISTATE
  916. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  917. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  918. define can be null.
  919. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  920. I2C_READ
  921. Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
  922. FALSE if it is low.
  923. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  924. I2C_SDA(bit)
  925. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  926. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  927. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  928. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  929. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  930. I2C_SCL(bit)
  931. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  932. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  933. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  934. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  935. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  936. I2C_DELAY
  937. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  938. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  939. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  940. like:
  941. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  942. CFG_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  943. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  944. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  945. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  946. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  947. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  948. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  949. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  950. is run early in the boot sequence.
  951. CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  952. This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
  953. in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
  954. variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
  955. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  956. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  957. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  958. D/As on the SACSng board)
  959. CONFIG_SPI_X
  960. Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
  961. (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
  962. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  963. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  964. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  965. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  966. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  967. defined, the board configuration must define several
  968. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  969. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  970. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  971. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  972. CONFIG_FPGA
  973. Used to specify the types of FPGA devices. For example,
  974. #define CONFIG_FPGA CFG_XILINX_VIRTEX2
  975. CFG_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  976. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  977. CFG_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  978. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  979. status by the configuration function. This option
  980. will require a board or device specific function to
  981. be written.
  982. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  983. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  984. configuration driver.
  985. CFG_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  986. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  987. CFG_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  988. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  989. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  990. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  991. indicated a CRC error).
  992. CFG_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  993. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
  994. after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
  995. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  996. mS.
  997. CFG_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  998. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
  999. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 mS.
  1000. CFG_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  1001. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  1002. 200 mS.
  1003. - Configuration Management:
  1004. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  1005. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  1006. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1007. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1008. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1009. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1010. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1011. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1012. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1013. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1014. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1015. change this behviour:
  1016. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1017. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1018. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1019. these parameters.
  1020. Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
  1021. _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1022. ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1023. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1024. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1025. read-only.]
  1026. - Protected RAM:
  1027. CONFIG_PRAM
  1028. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1029. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1030. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1031. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1032. this default value by defining an environment
  1033. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1034. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1035. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1036. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1037. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1038. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1039. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1040. setenv bootargs ... mem=\$(mem)
  1041. saveenv
  1042. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1043. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1044. not be affected by reboots.
  1045. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1046. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1047. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1048. following board configurations are known to be
  1049. "pRAM-clean":
  1050. ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
  1051. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
  1052. PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
  1053. - Error Recovery:
  1054. CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
  1055. Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
  1056. fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
  1057. This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
  1058. system where you want to system to reboot
  1059. automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
  1060. useful during development since you can try to debug
  1061. the conditions that lead to the situation.
  1062. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1063. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1064. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1065. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1066. default value of 5 is used.
  1067. - Command Interpreter:
  1068. CFG_AUTO_COMPLETE
  1069. Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
  1070. CFG_HUSH_PARSER
  1071. Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
  1072. Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
  1073. powerful command line syntax like
  1074. if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
  1075. constructs ("shell scripts").
  1076. If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
  1077. with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
  1078. CFG_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1079. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1080. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1081. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1082. Note:
  1083. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1084. space and global environment variables space are
  1085. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1086. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1087. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1088. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1089. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1090. Global environment variables are those you use
  1091. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1092. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1093. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1094. To store commands and special characters in a
  1095. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1096. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1097. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1098. symbols.
  1099. - Default Environment:
  1100. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1101. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1102. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1103. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1104. For example, place something like this in your
  1105. board's config file:
  1106. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1107. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1108. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1109. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1110. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1111. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1112. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1113. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1114. You better know what you are doing here.
  1115. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1116. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1117. the environment like the autoscript function or the
  1118. boot command first.
  1119. - DataFlash Support:
  1120. CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
  1121. Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
  1122. allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
  1123. commands cp, md...
  1124. - SystemACE Support:
  1125. CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1126. Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
  1127. chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
  1128. of the chip must alsh be defined in the
  1129. CFG_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
  1130. #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1131. #define CFG_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
  1132. When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
  1133. becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
  1134. - Show boot progress:
  1135. CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
  1136. Defining this option allows to add some board-
  1137. specific code (calling a user-provided function
  1138. "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
  1139. the system's boot progress on some display (for
  1140. example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
  1141. the following checkpoints are implemented:
  1142. Arg Where When
  1143. 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image
  1144. -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header has bad magic number

  1192. Modem Support:
  1193. --------------
  1194. [so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
  1195. - Modem support endable:
  1196. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
  1197. - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
  1198. CONFIG_HWFLOW
  1199. - Modem debug support:
  1200. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
  1201. Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
  1202. for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
  1203. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  1204. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  1205. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  1206. for cpu specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  1207. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  1208. cpu resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  1209. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  1210. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for cpu
  1211. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  1212. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  1213. general timer_interrupt().
  1214. - General:
  1215. In the target system modem support is enabled when a
  1216. specific key (key combination) is pressed during
  1217. power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
  1218. (autoboot). The key_pressed() fuction is called from
  1219. board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
  1220. function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
  1221. initialization.
  1222. If there are no modem init strings in the
  1223. environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
  1224. previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
  1225. supressed, though.
  1226. See also: doc/README.Modem
  1227. Configuration Settings:
  1228. -----------------------
  1229. - CFG_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  1230. undefine this when you're short of memory.

  1232. prompt for user input.
  1233. - CFG_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  1234. - CFG_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  1235. - CFG_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands

  1243. - CFG_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  1244. If the board specific function
  1245. extern int overwrite_console (void);
  1246. returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
  1247. serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
  1248. - CFG_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
  1249. Enable the call to overwrite_console().

  1254. simple memory test.
  1255. - CFG_ALT_MEMTEST:
  1256. Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
  1257. - CFG_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
  1258. Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
  1259. You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
  1260. - CFG_TFTP_LOADADDR:
  1261. Default load address for network file downloads
  1262. - CFG_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  1263. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  1264. - CFG_SDRAM_BASE:
  1265. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  1266. - CFG_MBIO_BASE:
  1267. Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
  1268. Cogent motherboard)
  1269. - CFG_FLASH_BASE:
  1270. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  1271. - CFG_MONITOR_BASE:
  1272. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  1273. make config files to be same as the text base address
  1274. (TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  1275. CFG_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  1276. - CFG_MONITOR_LEN:
  1277. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  1278. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  1279. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  1280. flash sector.
  1281. - CFG_MALLOC_LEN:
  1282. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  1283. - CFG_BOOTMAPSZ:
  1284. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  1285. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  1286. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, eventually
  1287. initrd image) must be put below this limit.
  1288. - CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  1289. Max number of Flash memory banks

  1299. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  1300. - CFG_FLASH_PROTECTION
  1301. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  1302. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  1303. - CFG_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  1304. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  1305. without this option such a download has to be
  1306. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  1307. copy from RAM to flash.
  1308. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  1309. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  1310. the flash, but in some situations (when sytem RAM is
  1311. too limited to allow for a tempory copy of the
  1312. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  1313. - CFG_FLASH_CFI:
  1314. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  1315. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  1316. - CFG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  1317. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  1318. in the drivers directory
  1319. - CFG_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  1320. Defines the number of ethernet receive buffers. On some
  1321. ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  1322. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  1323. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  1324. on high ethernet traffic.
  1325. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  1326. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  1327. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  1328. following configurations:
  1329. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
  1330. Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
  1331. a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
  1332. "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
  1333. happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
  1334. sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
  1335. sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
  1336. layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
  1337. such a case you would place the environment in one of the
  1338. 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
  1339. "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
  1340. environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
  1341. between U-Boot and the environment.
  1342. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1343. Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
  1344. beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
  1345. type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
  1346. for this sector is given here.
  1347. CFG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CFG_FLASH_BASE.
  1348. - CFG_ENV_ADDR:
  1349. This is just another way to specify the start address of
  1350. the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
  1351. CFG_ENV_OFFSET).
  1352. - CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
  1353. Size of the sector containing the environment.
  1354. b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
  1355. In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
  1356. the environment.
  1357. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1358. If you use this in combination with CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
  1359. and CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
  1360. of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
  1361. memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
  1362. It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
  1363. when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
  1364. since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
  1365. for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
  1366. STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
  1367. updating the environment in flash makes it always
  1368. necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
  1369. wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
  1370. RAM, your target system will be dead.
  1371. - CFG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
  1372. CFG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
  1373. These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
  1374. a redundand copy of the environment data, so that there is
  1375. a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
  1376. a "saveenv" operation.
  1377. BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
  1378. source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
  1379. accordingly!
  1380. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
  1381. Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
  1382. (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
  1383. environment.
  1384. - CFG_ENV_ADDR:
  1385. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1386. These two #defines are used to determin the memory area you
  1387. want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
  1388. can just be read and written to, without any special
  1389. provision.
  1390. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  1391. in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  1392. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mappend your NVRAM area then, or
  1393. U-Boot will hang.
  1394. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  1395. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  1396. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  1397. to save the current settings.
  1398. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
  1399. Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
  1400. device and a driver for it.
  1401. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1402. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1403. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1404. environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
  1405. - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
  1406. If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
  1407. The default address is zero.
  1408. - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
  1409. If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
  1410. single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
  1411. would require six bits.
  1412. - CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
  1413. If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
  1414. page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
  1415. - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
  1416. The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
  1417. that this is NOT the chip address length!
  1418. - CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
  1419. EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
  1420. like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
  1421. address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
  1422. slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
  1423. byte chips.
  1424. Note that we consider the length of the address field to
  1425. still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
  1426. in the chip address.
  1427. - CFG_EEPROM_SIZE:
  1428. The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
  1429. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
  1430. Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
  1431. want to use for the environment.
  1432. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1433. - CFG_ENV_ADDR:
  1434. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1435. These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1436. environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
  1437. at the specified address.
  1438. - CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
  1439. Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
  1440. for the environment.
  1441. - CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1442. - CFG_ENV_SIZE:
  1443. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
  1444. area within the first NAND device.
  1445. - CFG_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
  1446. Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
  1447. area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
  1448. is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
  1449. scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
  1450. calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
  1451. to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
  1452. start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
  1453. Please note that the environment is read-only as long as the monitor
  1454. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  1455. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
  1456. until then to read environment variables.
  1457. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  1458. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  1459. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  1460. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  1461. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  1462. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  1463. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  1464. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  1465. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  1466. - CFG_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  1467. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  1468. Note: If this option is active, then CFG_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  1469. also needs to be defined.
  1470. - CFG_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  1471. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  1472. - CFG_64BIT_VSPRINTF:
  1473. Makes vsprintf (and all *printf functions) support printing
  1474. of 64bit values by using the L quantifier
  1475. - CFG_64BIT_STRTOUL:
  1476. Adds simple_strtoull that returns a 64bit value
  1477. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  1478. ---------------------------------------------------
  1479. - CFG_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  1480. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  1481. - CFG_DEFAULT_IMMR:
  1482. Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
  1483. Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
  1484. and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
  1485. the IMMR register after a reset.
  1486. - Floppy Disk Support:
  1487. CFG_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
  1488. the default drive number (default value 0)
  1489. CFG_ISA_IO_STRIDE
  1490. defines the spacing between fdc chipset registers
  1491. (default value 1)
  1492. CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET
  1493. defines the offset of register from address. It
  1494. depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
  1495. the fdc chipset. (default value 0)
  1496. If CFG_ISA_IO_STRIDE CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
  1497. CFG_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
  1498. default value.
  1499. if CFG_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
  1500. fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
  1501. setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
  1502. source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
  1503. initializations.
  1504. - CFG_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory Mapped
  1505. Register; DO NOT CHANGE! (11-4)
  1506. [MPC8xx systems only]
  1507. - CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  1508. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  1509. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  1510. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  1511. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  1512. will become available only after programming the
  1513. memory controller and running certain initialization
  1514. sequences.
  1515. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  1516. - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  1517. - MPC824X: data cache
  1518. - PPC4xx: data cache
  1519. - CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  1520. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  1521. area defined by CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  1522. CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  1523. data is located at the end of the available space
  1524. (sometimes written as (CFG_INIT_RAM_END -
  1525. CFG_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  1526. below that area (growing from (CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  1527. CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  1528. Note:
  1529. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  1530. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  1531. CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  1532. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  1533. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

  1562. enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
  1563. define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
  1564. - CFG_USE_OSCCLK:
  1565. Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
  1566. wrong setting might damage your board. Read
  1567. doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
  1568. - CFG_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
  1569. Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
  1570. (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
  1571. #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

  1581. Overrides the default PCI memory map in cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
  1582. - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
  1583. Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
  1584. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
  1585. Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
  1586. to the given FEC; i. e.
  1587. #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
  1588. means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
  1589. When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
  1590. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
  1591. The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
  1592. (so program the FEC to ignore it).
  1593. - CONFIG_RMII

  1602. and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
  1603. area should have.
  1604. - CONFIG_LOOPW
  1605. Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
  1606. the memory commands are activated globally (CFG_CMD_MEM).
  1607. Building the Software:
  1608. ======================
  1609. Building U-Boot has been tested in native PPC environments (on a
  1610. PowerBook G3 running LinuxPPC 2000) and in cross environments
  1611. (running RedHat 6.x and 7.x Linux on x86, Solaris 2.6 on a SPARC, and
  1612. NetBSD 1.5 on x86).
  1613. If you are not using a native PPC environment, it is assumed that you
  1614. have the GNU cross compiling tools available in your path and named
  1615. with a prefix of "powerpc-linux-". If this is not the case, (e.g. if
  1616. you are using Monta Vista's Hard Hat Linux CDK 1.2) you must change
  1617. the definition of CROSS_COMPILE in Makefile. For HHL on a 4xx CPU,
  1618. change it to:
  1619. CROSS_COMPILE = ppc_4xx-
  1620. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  1621. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  1622. is done by typing:
  1623. make NAME_config
  1624. where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing
  1625. configurations; the following names are supported:
  1626. ADCIOP_config FPS860L_config omap730p2_config
  1627. ADS860_config GEN860T_config pcu_e_config
  1628. AR405_config GENIETV_config PIP405_config
  1629. at91rm9200dk_config GTH_config QS823_config
  1630. CANBT_config hermes_config QS850_config
  1631. cmi_mpc5xx_config hymod_config QS860T_config
  1632. cogent_common_config IP860_config RPXlite_config
  1633. cogent_mpc8260_config IVML24_config RPXlite_DW_config
  1634. cogent_mpc8xx_config IVMS8_config RPXsuper_config
  1635. CPCI405_config JSE_config rsdproto_config
  1636. CPCIISER4_config LANTEC_config Sandpoint8240_config

  1639. DUET_ADS_config MBX_config sbc8560_66_config
  1640. EBONY_config MPC8260ADS_config SM850_config
  1641. ELPT860_config MPC8540ADS_config SPD823TS_config
  1642. ESTEEM192E_config MPC8560ADS_config stxgp3_config
  1643. ETX094_config NETVIA_config SXNI855T_config
  1644. FADS823_config omap1510inn_config TQM823L_config
  1645. FADS850SAR_config omap1610h2_config TQM850L_config
  1646. FADS860T_config omap1610inn_config TQM855L_config
  1647. FPS850L_config omap5912osk_config TQM860L_config
  1648. WALNUT405_config
  1649. ZPC1900_config
  1650. Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
  1651. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  1652. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  1653. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  1654. when chosing the configuration, i. e.
  1655. make TQM823L_config
  1656. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  1657. make TQM823L_LCD_config
  1658. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  1659. etc.
  1660. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  1661. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  1662. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  1663. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  1664. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  1665. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  1666. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  1667. native "make".
  1668. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  1669. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  1670. steps:
  1671. 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
  1672. "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
  1673. entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
  1674. boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
  1675. keep this order.
  1676. 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  1677. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  1678. the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
  1679. 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  1680. your board
  1681. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  1682. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  1683. 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
  1684. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  1685. to be installed on your target system.
  1686. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  1687. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  1688. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  1689. ==============================================================
  1690. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  1691. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  1692. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  1693. the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  1694. official or latest in CVS) version of U-Boot sources.
  1695. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  1696. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  1697. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  1698. just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
  1699. for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
  1700. select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
  1701. environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the cross tools from
  1702. MontaVista's Hard Hat Linux you can type
  1703. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  1704. or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
  1705. CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
  1706. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

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

  2053. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2054. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2055. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2056. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2057. To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
  2058. -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2059. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2060. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

  2063. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2064. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2065. NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
  2066. speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
  2067. needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
  2068. need to be uncompressed:
  2069. -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
  2070. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2071. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
  2072. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux \

  2080. Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
  2081. when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
  2082. -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \

  2091. Installing a Linux Image:
  2092. -------------------------
  2093. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  2094. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  2095. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  2096. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  2097. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  2098. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  2099. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  2100. command.
  2101. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  2102. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  2103. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF

  2126. Boot Linux:
  2127. -----------
  2128. The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
  2129. memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
  2130. of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
  2131. parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
  2132. "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
  2133. => printenv bootargs
  2134. bootargs=root=/dev/ram
  2135. => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
  2136. => printenv bootargs
  2137. bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

  2196. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  2197. ------------------------------
  2198. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  2199. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  2200. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  2201. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  2202. the Standalone Program.
  2203. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  2204. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  2205. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  2206. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  2207. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  2208. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  2209. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  2210. being started.
  2211. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  2212. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  2213. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  2214. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  2215. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  2216. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  2217. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  2218. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  2219. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  2220. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  2221. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  2222. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  2223. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  2224. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  2225. flash memory.
  2226. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  2227. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  2228. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  2229. as command interpreter.
  2230. Standalone HOWTO:
  2231. =================
  2232. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  2233. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  2234. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  2235. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  2236. "Hello World" Demo:
  2237. -------------------
  2238. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  2239. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  2240. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  2241. like that:
  2242. => loads
  2243. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  2244. ~>examples/hello_world.srec

  2247. [connected]
  2248. ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
  2249. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  2250. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  2251. Hello World
  2252. argc = 7
  2253. argv[0] = "40004"
  2254. argv[1] = "Hello"
  2255. argv[2] = "World!"
  2256. argv[3] = "This"
  2257. argv[4] = "is"
  2258. argv[5] = "a"
  2259. argv[6] = "test."
  2260. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  2261. Hit any key to exit ...
  2262. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  2263. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  2264. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  2265. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  2266. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  2267. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  2268. controlled by the following keys:
  2269. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  2270. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  2271. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  2272. q - quit application

  2304. Minicom warning:
  2305. ================
  2306. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  2307. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  2308. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  2309. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  2310. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  2311. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
  2312. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  2313. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  2314. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  2315. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  2316. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  2317. NetBSD Notes:
  2318. =============
  2319. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  2320. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  2321. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  2322. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  2323. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  2324. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  2325. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  2326. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  2327. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  2328. # mkdir powerpc
  2329. # ln -s powerpc machine
  2330. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  2331. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  2332. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  2333. and U-Boot include files.
  2334. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  2335. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  2336. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  2337. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  2338. meantime, send mail to bruno@exet-ag.de and/or wd@denx.de for
  2339. details.
  2340. Implementation Internals:
  2341. =========================
  2342. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  2343. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  2344. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  2345. hardware.
  2346. Initial Stack, Global Data:
  2347. ---------------------------
  2348. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  2349. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  2350. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  2351. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  2352. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  2353. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  2354. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  2355. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  2356. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  2357. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  2358. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  2359. u-boot-users mailing list:
  2360. Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
  2361. From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
  2362. Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
  2363. ...
  2364. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  2365. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  2366. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  2367. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  2368. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  2369. beyond the scope of this list to expain the details, but you
  2370. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  2371. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  2372. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  2373. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  2374. initial stack/ram area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  2375. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  2376. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  2377. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  2378. used.
  2379. CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  2380. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  2381. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  2382. Walnut405.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  2383. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  2384. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  2385. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  2386. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  2387. you get the config right.

  2390. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  2391. code for the initialization procedures:
  2392. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  2393. to write it.
  2394. * Do not use any unitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
  2395. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  2396. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  2397. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  2398. that.
  2399. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  2400. normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
  2401. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  2402. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  2403. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  2404. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  2405. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  2406. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  2407. reserve for this purpose.
  2408. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  2409. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  2410. GCC's implementation.
  2411. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  2412. R1: stack pointer
  2413. R2: TOC pointer
  2414. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  2415. R5-R10: parameter passing
  2416. R13: small data area pointer
  2417. R30: GOT pointer
  2418. R31: frame pointer
  2419. (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
  2420. ==> U-Boot will use R29 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2421. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  2422. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  2423. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  2424. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  2425. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  2426. 624 text + 127 data).
  2427. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  2428. R0: function argument word/integer result
  2429. R1-R3: function argument word
  2430. R9: GOT pointer
  2431. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
  2432. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  2433. R12: temporary workspace
  2434. R13: stack pointer
  2435. R14: link register
  2436. R15: program counter
  2437. ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2438. Memory Management:
  2439. ------------------
  2440. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  2441. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  2442. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  2443. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  2444. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  2445. physical memory banks.
  2446. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  2447. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  2448. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  2449. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  2450. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CFG_MALLOC_LEN
  2451. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  2452. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  2453. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  2454. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  2455. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  2456. this:
  2457. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

  2474. System Initialization:
  2475. ----------------------
  2476. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  2477. (on most PowerPC systens at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  2478. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
  2479. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  2480. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  2481. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  2482. which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
  2483. part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
  2484. the caches and the SIU.
  2485. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  2486. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  2487. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  2488. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  2489. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  2490. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  2491. banks.
  2492. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  2493. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  2494. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  2495. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  2496. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  2497. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  2498. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  2499. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  2500. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  2501. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  2502. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  2503. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  2504. new address in RAM.

  2550. Coding Standards:
  2551. -----------------
  2552. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  2553. coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" in your Linux
  2554. kernel source directory.
  2555. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts
  2556. in Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style
  2557. comments (//) in your code.
  2558. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  2559. - remove any trailing white space
  2560. - use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
  2561. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  2562. - do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
  2563. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  2564. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  2565. with a request to reformat the changes.
  2566. Submitting Patches:
  2567. -------------------
  2568. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  2569. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  2570. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  2571. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  2572. it:
  2573. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  2574. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  2575. patch actually fixes something.
  2576. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  2577. implementation.
  2578. * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
  2579. * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
  2580. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
  2581. board to the MAKEALL script, too.
  2582. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  2583. document these in the README file.
  2584. * The patch itself. If you are accessing the CVS repository use "cvs
  2585. update; cvs diff -puRN"; else, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your
  2586. version of diff does not support these options, then get the latest
  2587. version of GNU diff.
  2588. The current directory when running this command shall be the top
  2589. level directory of the U-Boot source tree, or it's parent directory
  2590. (i. e. please make sure that your patch includes sufficient
  2591. directory information for the affected files).
  2592. We accept patches as plain text, MIME attachments or as uuencoded
  2593. gzipped text.
  2594. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  2595. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  2596. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  2597. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  2598. Notes:
  2599. * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
  2600. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  2601. for any of the boards.
  2602. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  2603. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  2604. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  2605. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  2606. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  2607. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  2608. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  2609. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  2610. modification.
