  23. Summary:
  24. ========
  25. This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
  26. Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
  27. processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
  28. initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
  29. code.
  30. The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
  31. the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
  32. header files in common, and special provision has been made to
  33. support booting of Linux images.
  34. Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
  35. configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
  36. implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
  37. add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
  38. code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
  39. load and run it dynamically.
  40. Status:
  41. =======
  42. In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
  43. Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
  44. "working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
  45. In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
  46. who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
  47. maintainers.
  48. Where to get help:
  49. ==================
  50. In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for
  51. U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at
  52. <u-boot@lists.denx.de>. There is also an archive of previous traffic
  53. on the mailing list - please search the archive before asking FAQ's.
  54. Please see http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot and
  55. http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot
  56. Where to get source code:
  57. =========================
  58. The U-Boot source code is maintained in the git repository at
  59. git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git ; you can browse it online at
  60. http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
  61. The "snapshot" links on this page allow you to download tarballs of
  62. any version you might be interested in. Official releases are also
  63. available for FTP download from the ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
  64. directory.
  65. Pre-built (and tested) images are available from
  66. ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/images/
  67. Where we come from:
  68. ===================
  69. - start from 8xxrom sources
  70. - create PPCBoot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcboot)
  71. - clean up code
  72. - make it easier to add custom boards
  73. - make it possible to add other [PowerPC] CPUs
  74. - extend functions, especially:
  75. * Provide extended interface to Linux boot loader
  76. * S-Record download

  192. Software Configuration:
  193. =======================
  194. Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
  195. rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
  196. There are two classes of configuration variables:
  197. * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  198. These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  199. "CONFIG_".
  200. * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  201. These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  202. you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  203. "CONFIG_SYS_".
  204. Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
  205. identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
  206. do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
  207. links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
  208. as an example here.
  209. Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
  210. ---------------------------------------------------
  211. For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
  212. configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
  213. Example: For a TQM823L module type:
  214. cd u-boot
  215. make TQM823L_config
  216. For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
  217. e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
  218. directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
  219. Configuration Options:
  220. ----------------------
  221. Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
  222. such information is kept in a configuration file
  223. "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
  224. Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
  225. "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
  226. Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
  227. kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
  228. build a config tool - later.
  229. The following options need to be configured:
  230. - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
  231. - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
  232. - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
  233. Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
  234. - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  235. Define exactly one of
  236. CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
  237. --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
  238. CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
  239. CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
  240. - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  241. Define exactly one of
  242. CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
  243. - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  244. Define one or more of
  245. CONFIG_CMA302
  246. - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
  247. Define one or more of
  248. CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
  249. the LCD display every second with
  250. a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
  251. - Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
  252. CONFIG_ADSTYPE
  253. Possible values are:
  254. CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS
  255. CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
  256. CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
  257. CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
  258. - Marvell Family Member
  259. CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
  260. multiple fs option at one time
  261. for marvell soc family
  262. - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
  263. Define exactly one of
  264. CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
  265. - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
  266. CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
  267. get_gclk_freq() cannot work
  268. e.g. if there is no 32KHz
  269. reference PIT/RTC clock
  270. CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
  271. or XTAL/EXTAL)
  272. - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
  273. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
  274. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
  275. CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
  276. See doc/README.MPC866
  277. CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
  278. Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
  279. of relying on the correctness of the configured
  280. values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
  281. the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
  282. that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
  283. RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
  284. CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
  285. Define this option if you want to enable the
  286. ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
  287. - 85xx CPU Options:
  288. CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
  289. Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
  290. system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
  291. devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
  292. - Intel Monahans options:
  293. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
  294. Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
  295. ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
  296. frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
  297. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
  298. Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
  299. ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
  300. 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
  301. by this value.
  302. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  303. CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
  304. U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
  305. internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
  306. kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
  307. bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
  308. "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
  309. converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
  310. Linux kernel.
  311. When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
  312. "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
  313. default environment.
  314. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  315. When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
  316. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  317. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  318. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  319. New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
  320. passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
  321. concepts).
  322. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  323. * New libfdt-based support
  324. * Adds the "fdt" command
  325. * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
  326. OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
  327. MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
  328. OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
  329. MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
  330. OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
  331. OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
  332. boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
  333. addresses
  334. CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
  335. Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
  336. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
  337. CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
  338. This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
  339. param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
  340. CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
  341. U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
  342. If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
  343. removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
  344. so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
  345. crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
  346. no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
  347. - vxWorks boot parameters:
  348. bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
  349. environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
  350. It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
  351. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
  352. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
  353. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
  354. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
  355. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
  356. Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
  357. Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
  358. the defaults discussed just above.
  359. - Serial Ports:
  360. CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
  361. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  362. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
  363. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  364. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  365. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  366. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  367. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  368. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  369. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  370. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  371. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
  372. Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
  373. have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
  374. this variable to initialize the extra register.
  375. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
  376. On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
  377. boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
  378. variable to flush the UART at init time.
  379. - Console Interface:
  380. Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
  381. (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
  382. CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
  383. console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
  384. Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
  385. port routines must be defined elsewhere
  386. (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
  387. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  388. Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
  389. defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)
  390. VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
  391. (default big endian)
  392. VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
  393. rectangle fill
  394. (cf. smiLynxEM)
  395. VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
  396. bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
  397. VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
  398. (cols=pitch)
  399. VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
  400. VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
  401. VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
  402. (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
  403. VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
  404. VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
  405. (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
  406. VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
  407. (i.e. i8042_tstc)
  408. VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
  409. (i.e. i8042_getc)
  410. CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
  411. (requires blink timer
  412. cf. i8042.c)
  413. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
  414. CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
  415. upper right corner
  416. (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
  417. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
  418. upper left corner
  419. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
  420. linux_logo.h for logo.
  421. Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  422. CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
  423. additional board info beside
  424. the logo
  425. When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
  426. default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
  427. environment 'console=serial'.
  428. When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
  429. messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
  430. the "silent" environment variable. See
  431. doc/README.silent for more information.
  432. - Console Baudrate:
  433. CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
  434. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  435. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  436. CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
  437. - Console Rx buffer length
  438. With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
  439. the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
  440. This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
  441. If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
  442. must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
  443. the SMC.
  444. - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
  445. Delay before automatically booting the default image;
  446. set to -1 to disable autoboot.
  447. See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
  448. work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
  449. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  450. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
  451. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
  452. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
  453. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  454. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  455. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
  456. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
  457. CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
  458. CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
  459. - Autoboot Command:
  460. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  461. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  462. define a command string that is automatically executed
  463. when no character is read on the console interface
  464. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  465. CONFIG_BOOTARGS
  466. This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
  467. command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
  468. environment value "bootargs".
  469. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  470. The value of these goes into the environment as
  471. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  472. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  473. RAM and NFS.
  474. - Pre-Boot Commands:
  475. CONFIG_PREBOOT
  476. When this option is #defined, the existence of the
  477. environment variable "preboot" will be checked
  478. immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  479. countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
  480. entering interactive mode.
  481. This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
  482. automatically generated or modified. For an example
  483. see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
  484. modified when the user holds down a certain
  485. combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
  486. booting the systems
  487. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  488. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  489. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  490. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  491. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  492. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  493. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  494. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  495. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  496. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  497. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  498. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  499. - Monitor Functions:
  500. Monitor commands can be included or excluded
  501. from the build by using the #include files
  502. "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted
  503. commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h"
  504. and augmenting with additional #define's
  505. for wanted commands.
  506. The default command configuration includes all commands
  507. except those marked below with a "*".
  508. CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable
  509. CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo
  510. CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger
  511. CONFIG_CMD_BMP * BMP support

  600. XXX - this list needs to get updated!
  601. - Watchdog:
  602. CONFIG_WATCHDOG
  603. If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
  604. support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
  605. specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
  606. CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
  607. register. When supported for a specific SoC is
  608. available, then no further board specific code should
  609. be needed to use it.
  610. CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
  611. When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
  612. SoC, then define this variable and provide board
  613. specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
  614. - U-Boot Version:
  615. CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
  616. If this variable is defined, an environment variable

  645. Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
  646. must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  647. - Timestamp Support:
  648. When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
  649. (date and time) of an image is printed by image
  650. commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is

  735. wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
  736. useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
  737. control registers. This behavior won't affect the
  738. correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
  739. CONFIG_SMC911X

  784. command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
  785. attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
  786. it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
  787. can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
  788. appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
  789. Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
  790. If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate

  813. or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
  814. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
  815. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
  816. should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
  817. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER

  930. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  931. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  932. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  933. Active, color, single scan.
  934. CONFIG_HLD1045
  935. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  936. Active, color, single scan.
  937. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  938. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  939. or
  940. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  941. or
  942. Hitachi SP14Q002
  943. 320x240. Black & white.
  944. Normally display is black on white background; define
  945. CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
  946. - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
  947. If this option is set, the environment is checked for
  948. a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
  949. of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
  950. is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
  951. specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
  952. console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
  953. allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
  954. loaded very quickly after power-on.
  955. CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
  956. If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
  957. on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
  958. position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
  959. number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
  960. is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
  961. specify 'm' for centering the image.
  962. Example:
  963. setenv splashpos m,m
  964. => image at center of screen
  965. setenv splashpos 30,20
  966. => image at x = 30 and y = 20
  967. setenv splashpos -10,m
  968. => vertically centered image
  969. at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
  970. - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
  971. If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
  972. images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
  973. splashscreen support or the bmp command.
  974. - Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
  975. If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
  976. can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
  977. bmp command.
  978. - Compression support:
  979. CONFIG_BZIP2
  980. If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  981. images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  982. compressed images are supported.
  983. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  984. the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
  985. be at least 4MB.
  986. CONFIG_LZMA
  987. If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
  988. images is included.
  989. Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
  990. requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
  991. formula:
  992. (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
  993. Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
  994. and Literal pos bits.
  995. This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
  996. for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
  997. total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
  998. a very small buffer.
  999. Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
  1000. then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
  1001. the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
  1002. - MII/PHY support:
  1003. CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
  1004. The address of PHY on MII bus.
  1005. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  1006. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  1007. CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
  1008. If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
  1009. detection of gigabit PHY is included.
  1010. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  1011. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  1012. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  1013. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  1014. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  1015. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  1016. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  1017. command issued before MII status register can be read
  1018. - Ethernet address:
  1019. CONFIG_ETHADDR
  1020. CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
  1021. CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
  1022. CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
  1023. CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
  1024. CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
  1025. Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
  1026. for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
  1027. is not determined automatically.
  1028. - IP address:
  1029. CONFIG_IPADDR
  1030. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  1031. the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
  1032. determined through e.g. bootp.
  1033. - Server IP address:
  1034. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  1035. Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
  1036. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  1037. CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
  1038. Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
  1039. for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
  1040. - Multicast TFTP Mode:
  1041. CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
  1042. Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
  1043. rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
  1044. tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
  1045. driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
  1046. multicast group.
  1047. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  1048. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  1049. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  1050. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  1051. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  1052. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  1053. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  1054. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  1055. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  1056. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  1057. following delays are inserted then:
  1058. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  1059. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  1060. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  1061. 4th and following
  1062. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  1063. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  1064. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
  1065. CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
  1066. CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
  1067. CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
  1068. CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
  1069. CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
  1070. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
  1071. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
  1072. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  1073. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
  1074. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
  1075. CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
  1076. CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
  1077. CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
  1078. CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
  1079. environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
  1080. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
  1081. serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
  1082. than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
  1083. If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
  1084. serverip will be stored in the additional environment
  1085. variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
  1086. stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  1087. is defined.
  1088. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
  1089. to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
  1090. need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
  1091. If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
  1092. of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
  1093. option 12 to the DHCP server.
  1094. CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
  1095. A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
  1096. receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
  1097. This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
  1098. respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
  1099. AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
  1100. to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
  1101. DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
  1102. least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
  1103. that one of the retries will be successful but note that
  1104. the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
  1105. this delay.
  1106. - CDP Options:
  1107. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  1108. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  1109. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  1110. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  1111. of the device.
  1112. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  1113. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  1114. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  1115. eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  1116. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  1117. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  1118. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  1119. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  1120. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  1121. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  1122. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  1123. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  1124. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  1125. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  1126. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  1127. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  1128. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  1129. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  1130. - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
  1131. Several configurations allow to display the current
  1132. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  1133. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  1134. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  1135. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  1136. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  1137. kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
  1138. feature in U-Boot.
  1139. - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
  1140. Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
  1141. on those systems that support this (optional)
  1142. feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
  1143. - I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
  1144. These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
  1145. (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
  1146. include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
  1147. This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
  1148. command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
  1149. CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
  1150. clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
  1151. command line interface.
  1152. CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
  1153. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
  1154. bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
  1155. support for I2C.
  1156. There are several other quantities that must also be
  1157. defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
  1158. In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
  1159. to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
  1160. to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
  1161. the CPU's i2c node address).
  1162. Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
  1163. (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
  1164. and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
  1165. eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
  1166. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
  1167. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
  1168. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  1169. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  1170. in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
  1171. commands until the slave device responds.
  1172. That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
  1173. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
  1174. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  1175. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  1176. I2C_INIT
  1177. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  1178. controller or configure ports.
  1179. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  1180. I2C_PORT
  1181. (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
  1182. assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
  1183. are 0..3 for ports A..D.
  1184. I2C_ACTIVE
  1185. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  1186. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  1187. define can be null.
  1188. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  1189. I2C_TRISTATE
  1190. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  1191. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  1192. define can be null.
  1193. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  1194. I2C_READ
  1195. Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
  1196. FALSE if it is low.
  1197. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  1198. I2C_SDA(bit)
  1199. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  1200. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1201. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  1202. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  1203. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  1204. I2C_SCL(bit)
  1205. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  1206. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1207. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  1208. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  1209. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  1210. I2C_DELAY
  1211. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  1212. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  1213. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  1214. like:
  1215. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  1216. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
  1217. If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
  1218. then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
  1219. used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
  1220. have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
  1221. You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
  1222. the generic GPIO functions.
  1223. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  1224. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  1225. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  1226. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  1227. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  1228. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  1229. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  1230. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  1231. is run early in the boot sequence.
  1232. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
  1233. An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
  1234. defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
  1235. boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
  1236. is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
  1237. using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
  1238. controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
  1239. i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
  1240. controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
  1241. CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  1242. This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
  1243. in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
  1244. variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
  1245. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1246. This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
  1247. must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
  1248. active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
  1249. Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
  1250. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
  1251. This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
  1252. when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1253. is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
  1254. a 1D array of device addresses
  1255. e.g.
  1256. #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1257. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
  1258. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
  1259. #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1260. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
  1261. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
  1262. CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  1263. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
  1264. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
  1265. CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
  1266. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
  1267. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
  1268. CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
  1269. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
  1270. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
  1271. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
  1272. If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
  1273. If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
  1274. specified DTT device.
  1275. CONFIG_FSL_I2C
  1276. Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
  1277. drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
  1278. CONFIG_I2C_MUX
  1279. Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
  1280. I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
  1281. Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
  1282. new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
  1283. new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
  1284. the muxes to activate this new "bus".
  1285. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
  1286. feature!
  1287. Example:
  1288. Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
  1289. The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
  1290. The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
  1291. => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
  1292. Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
  1293. of I2C Busses with muxes:
  1294. => i2c bus
  1295. Busses reached over muxes:
  1296. Bus ID: 2
  1297. reached over Mux(es):
  1298. pca9544a@70 ch: 4
  1299. Bus ID: 3
  1300. reached over Mux(es):
  1301. pca9544a@70 ch: 6
  1302. pca9544a@71 ch: 4
  1303. =>
  1304. If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
  1305. u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
  1306. channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
  1307. the channel 4.
  1308. After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
  1309. usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
  1310. the 2 muxes.
  1311. This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
  1312. algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
  1313. Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
  1314. to add this option to other architectures.
  1315. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
  1316. defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
  1317. the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
  1318. between writing the address pointer and reading the
  1319. data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
  1320. of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
  1321. devices can use either method, but some require one or
  1322. the other.
  1323. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  1324. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  1325. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  1326. D/As on the SACSng board)
  1327. CONFIG_SH_SPI
  1328. Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
  1329. only SH7757 is supported.
  1330. CONFIG_SPI_X
  1331. Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
  1332. (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
  1333. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  1334. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  1335. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  1336. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  1337. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  1338. defined, the board configuration must define several
  1339. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  1340. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  1341. CONFIG_HARD_SPI
  1342. Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
  1343. and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
  1344. must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
  1345. Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
  1346. example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
  1347. CONFIG_MXC_SPI
  1348. Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
  1349. SoCs. Currently only i.MX31 is supported.
  1350. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
  1351. Enables FPGA subsystem.
  1352. CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
  1353. Enables support for specific chip vendors.
  1354. (ALTERA, XILINX)
  1355. CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
  1356. Enables support for FPGA family.
  1357. (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
  1358. CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  1359. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  1360. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  1361. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  1362. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  1363. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  1364. status by the configuration function. This option
  1365. will require a board or device specific function to
  1366. be written.
  1367. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  1368. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  1369. configuration driver.
  1370. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  1371. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  1372. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  1373. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  1374. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  1375. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  1376. indicated a CRC error).
  1377. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  1378. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
  1379. after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
  1380. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  1381. ms.
  1382. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  1383. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
  1384. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
  1385. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  1386. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  1387. 200 ms.
  1388. - Configuration Management:
  1389. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  1390. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  1391. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1392. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1393. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1394. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1395. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1396. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1397. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1398. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1399. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1400. change this behaviour:
  1401. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1402. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1403. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1404. these parameters.
  1405. Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
  1406. _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1407. Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1408. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1409. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1410. read-only.]
  1411. - Protected RAM:
  1412. CONFIG_PRAM
  1413. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1414. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1415. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1416. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1417. this default value by defining an environment
  1418. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1419. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1420. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1421. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1422. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1423. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1424. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1425. setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
  1426. saveenv
  1427. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1428. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1429. not be affected by reboots.
  1430. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1431. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1432. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1433. following board configurations are known to be
  1434. "pRAM-clean":
  1435. ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
  1436. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
  1437. FLAGADM, TQM8260
  1438. - Error Recovery:
  1439. CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
  1440. Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
  1441. fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
  1442. This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
  1443. system where you want the system to reboot
  1444. automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
  1445. useful during development since you can try to debug
  1446. the conditions that lead to the situation.
  1447. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1448. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1449. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1450. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1451. default value of 5 is used.
  1452. CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
  1453. Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
  1454. - Command Interpreter:
  1455. CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
  1456. Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
  1457. Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
  1458. for the "hush" shell.
  1459. CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
  1460. Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
  1461. Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
  1462. powerful command line syntax like
  1463. if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
  1464. constructs ("shell scripts").
  1465. If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
  1466. with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
  1467. CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1468. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1469. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1470. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1471. Note:
  1472. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1473. space and global environment variables space are
  1474. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1475. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1476. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1477. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1478. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1479. Global environment variables are those you use
  1480. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1481. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1482. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1483. To store commands and special characters in a
  1484. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1485. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1486. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1487. symbols.
  1488. - Commandline Editing and History:
  1489. CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
  1490. Enable editing and History functions for interactive
  1491. commandline input operations
  1492. - Default Environment:
  1493. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1494. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1495. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1496. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1497. For example, place something like this in your
  1498. board's config file:
  1499. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1500. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1501. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1502. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1503. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1504. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1505. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1506. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1507. You better know what you are doing here.
  1508. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1509. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1510. the environment like the "source" command or the
  1511. boot command first.
  1512. - DataFlash Support:
  1513. CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
  1514. Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
  1515. allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
  1516. commands cp, md...
  1517. - SystemACE Support:
  1518. CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1519. Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
  1520. chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
  1521. of the chip must also be defined in the
  1522. CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
  1523. #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1524. #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
  1525. When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
  1526. becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
  1527. - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
  1528. CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
  1529. If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
  1530. is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
  1531. If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
  1532. number generator is used.
  1533. Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
  1534. the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
  1535. defined, the normal port 69 is used.
  1536. The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
  1537. blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
  1538. target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
  1539. "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
  1540. the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
  1541. A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
  1542. but sometimes that is not allowed.
  1543. - Show boot progress:
  1544. CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
  1545. Defining this option allows to add some board-
  1546. specific code (calling a user-provided function
  1547. "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
  1548. the system's boot progress on some display (for
  1549. example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
  1550. the following checkpoints are implemented:
  1551. - Standalone program support:
  1552. CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
  1553. This option allows to define board specific values
  1554. for the address where standalone program gets loaded,
  1555. thus overwriting the architecutre dependent default
  1556. settings.
  1557. - Frame Buffer Address:
  1558. CONFIG_FB_ADDR
  1559. Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific address for
  1560. frame buffer.
  1561. Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to defined address
  1562. instead of lcd_setmem (this function grab the memory for frame buffer
  1563. by panel's size).
  1564. Please see board_init_f function.
  1565. If you want this config option then,
  1566. please define it at your board config file
  1567. Legacy uImage format:

  1706. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
  1707. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
  1708. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX

  1722. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
  1723. - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
  1724. CONFIG_HWFLOW
  1725. - Modem debug support:
  1726. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
  1727. Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
  1728. for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
  1729. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  1730. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  1731. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  1732. for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  1733. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  1734. CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  1735. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  1736. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
  1737. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  1738. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  1739. general timer_interrupt().
  1740. - General:
  1741. In the target system modem support is enabled when a
  1742. specific key (key combination) is pressed during
  1743. power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
  1744. (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
  1745. board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
  1746. function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
  1747. initialization.
  1748. If there are no modem init strings in the
  1749. environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
  1750. previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
  1751. suppressed, though.
  1752. See also: doc/README.Modem
  1753. Configuration Settings:
  1754. -----------------------
  1755. - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  1756. undefine this when you're short of memory.
  1757. - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
  1758. width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
  1759. - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
  1760. prompt for user input.
  1761. - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  1762. - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  1763. - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
  1764. - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
  1765. the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
  1766. booted
  1767. - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
  1768. List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
  1769. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
  1770. Suppress display of console information at boot.
  1771. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  1772. If the board specific function
  1773. extern int overwrite_console (void);
  1774. returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
  1775. serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
  1776. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
  1777. Enable the call to overwrite_console().
  1778. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
  1779. Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
  1780. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
  1781. Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
  1782. simple memory test.
  1783. - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
  1784. Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
  1785. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
  1786. Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
  1787. You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
  1788. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
  1789. If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
  1790. this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
  1791. (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
  1792. fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
  1793. the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
  1794. This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
  1795. board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
  1796. recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
  1797. will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
  1798. This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
  1799. CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
  1800. be touched.
  1801. WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
  1802. the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
  1803. then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
  1804. non page size aligned address and this could cause major
  1805. problems.
  1806. - CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR:
  1807. Default load address for network file downloads
  1808. - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  1809. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  1810. - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
  1811. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  1812. - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
  1813. Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
  1814. Cogent motherboard)
  1815. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
  1816. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  1817. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
  1818. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  1819. make config files to be same as the text base address
  1820. (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  1821. CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  1822. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
  1823. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  1824. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  1825. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  1826. flash sector.
  1827. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
  1828. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  1829. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
  1830. Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
  1831. uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
  1832. you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
  1833. to adjust this setting to your needs.
  1834. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
  1835. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  1836. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  1837. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
  1838. used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
  1839. enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
  1840. all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
  1841. and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
  1842. variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
  1843. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
  1844. then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
  1845. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
  1846. Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
  1847. initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
  1848. is enabled.
  1849. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
  1850. Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
  1851. "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
  1852. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
  1853. Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
  1854. space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
  1855. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  1856. Max number of Flash memory banks
  1857. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
  1858. Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
  1859. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
  1860. Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
  1861. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
  1862. Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
  1863. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
  1864. Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
  1865. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
  1866. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  1867. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
  1868. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  1869. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  1870. - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  1871. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  1872. without this option such a download has to be
  1873. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  1874. copy from RAM to flash.
  1875. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  1876. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  1877. the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
  1878. too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
  1879. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  1880. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
  1881. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  1882. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  1883. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  1884. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  1885. in the drivers directory
  1886. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
  1887. This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
  1888. in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
  1889. to the MTD layer.
  1890. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
  1891. Use buffered writes to flash.
  1892. - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
  1893. s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
  1894. write commands.
  1895. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
  1896. If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
  1897. print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
  1898. is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
  1899. optionally available.
  1900. - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
  1901. If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
  1902. digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
  1903. column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
  1904. - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  1905. Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
  1906. Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  1907. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  1908. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  1909. on high Ethernet traffic.
  1910. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  1911. - CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
  1912. Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
  1913. internally to store the environment settings. The default
  1914. setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
  1915. cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
  1916. lib/hashtable.c for details.
  1917. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  1918. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  1919. following configurations:
  1920. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
  1921. Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
  1922. a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
  1923. "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
  1924. happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
  1925. sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
  1926. sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
  1927. layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
  1928. such a case you would place the environment in one of the
  1929. 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
  1930. "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
  1931. environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
  1932. between U-Boot and the environment.
  1933. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1934. Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
  1935. beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
  1936. type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
  1937. for this sector is given here.
  1938. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
  1939. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1940. This is just another way to specify the start address of
  1941. the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
  1942. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
  1943. - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
  1944. Size of the sector containing the environment.
  1945. b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
  1946. In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
  1947. the environment.
  1948. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1949. If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
  1950. and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
  1951. of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
  1952. memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
  1953. It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
  1954. when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
  1955. since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
  1956. for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
  1957. STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
  1958. updating the environment in flash makes it always
  1959. necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
  1960. wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
  1961. RAM, your target system will be dead.
  1962. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
  1963. CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
  1964. These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
  1965. a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
  1966. a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
  1967. a "saveenv" operation.
  1968. BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
  1969. source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
  1970. accordingly!
  1971. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
  1972. Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
  1973. (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
  1974. environment.
  1975. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1976. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1977. These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
  1978. want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
  1979. can just be read and written to, without any special
  1980. provision.
  1981. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  1982. in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  1983. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
  1984. U-Boot will hang.
  1985. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  1986. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  1987. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  1988. to save the current settings.
  1989. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
  1990. Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
  1991. device and a driver for it.
  1992. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1993. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1994. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1995. environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
  1996. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
  1997. If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
  1998. The default address is zero.
  1999. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
  2000. If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
  2001. single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
  2002. would require six bits.
  2003. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
  2004. If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
  2005. page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
  2006. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
  2007. The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
  2008. that this is NOT the chip address length!
  2009. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
  2010. EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
  2011. like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
  2012. address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
  2013. slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
  2014. byte chips.
  2015. Note that we consider the length of the address field to
  2016. still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
  2017. in the chip address.
  2018. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
  2019. The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
  2020. - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
  2021. define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
  2022. EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
  2023. - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
  2024. if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
  2025. I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
  2026. EEPROM. For example:
  2027. #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0"
  2028. EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
  2029. a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
  2030. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
  2031. Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
  2032. want to use for the environment.
  2033. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  2034. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  2035. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  2036. These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
  2037. environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
  2038. at the specified address.
  2039. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
  2040. Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
  2041. for the environment.
  2042. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  2043. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  2044. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
  2045. area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
  2046. aligned to an erase block boundary.
  2047. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
  2048. This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
  2049. size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
  2050. that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
  2051. during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
  2052. aligned to an erase block boundary.
  2053. - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
  2054. Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
  2055. can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
  2056. block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
  2057. are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
  2058. the range to be avoided.
  2059. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
  2060. Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
  2061. environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
  2062. "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
  2063. Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
  2064. using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
  2065. - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
  2066. Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
  2067. environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
  2068. CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
  2069. - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
  2070. Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
  2071. area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
  2072. is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
  2073. scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
  2074. calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
  2075. to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
  2076. start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
  2077. Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
  2078. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  2079. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
  2080. until then to read environment variables.
  2081. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  2082. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  2083. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  2084. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  2085. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  2086. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  2087. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  2088. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  2089. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  2090. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  2091. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  2092. Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  2093. also needs to be defined.
  2094. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  2095. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  2096. - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
  2097. Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
  2098. and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
  2099. drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
  2100. space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
  2101. limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
  2102. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  2103. ---------------------------------------------------
  2104. - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  2105. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  2106. - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
  2107. Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
  2108. Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
  2109. and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
  2110. the IMMR register after a reset.
  2111. - Floppy Disk Support:
  2112. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
  2113. the default drive number (default value 0)
  2114. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
  2115. defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
  2116. (default value 1)
  2117. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
  2118. defines the offset of register from address. It
  2119. depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
  2120. the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
  2121. If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
  2122. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
  2123. default value.
  2124. if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
  2125. fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
  2126. setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
  2127. source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
  2128. initializations.
  2129. - CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
  2130. Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
  2131. interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
  2132. When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
  2133. IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
  2134. registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
  2135. is requierd.
  2136. - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
  2137. DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
  2138. doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
  2139. - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  2140. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  2141. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  2142. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  2143. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  2144. will become available only after programming the
  2145. memory controller and running certain initialization
  2146. sequences.
  2147. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  2148. - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  2149. - MPC824X: data cache
  2150. - PPC4xx: data cache
  2151. - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  2152. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  2153. area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  2154. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  2155. data is located at the end of the available space
  2156. (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
  2157. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  2158. below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  2159. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  2160. Note:
  2161. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  2162. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  2163. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  2164. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  2165. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

  2234. with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
  2235. SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
  2236. I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
  2237. - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  2238. If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
  2239. one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
  2240. to something your driver can deal with.
  2241. - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
  2242. Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
  2243. be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
  2244. - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
  2245. Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
  2246. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
  2247. Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
  2248. to the given FEC; i. e.
  2249. #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
  2250. means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
  2251. When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
  2252. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
  2253. The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
  2254. (so program the FEC to ignore it).
  2255. - CONFIG_RMII
  2256. Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
  2257. Note that this is a global option, we can't
  2258. have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
  2259. - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
  2260. Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
  2261. The syntax is:
  2262. => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
  2263. Where address/count indicate a memory area
  2264. and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
  2265. area should have.
  2266. - CONFIG_LOOPW
  2267. Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
  2268. the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
  2269. - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
  2270. Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
  2271. "md/mw" commands.
  2272. Examples:
  2273. => mdc.b 10 4 500
  2274. This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
  2275. => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
  2276. This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
  2277. This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
  2278. globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
  2279. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
  2280. [ARM only] If this variable is defined, then certain
  2281. low level initializations (like setting up the memory
  2282. controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
  2283. relocate itself into RAM.
  2284. Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
  2285. exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
  2286. other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
  2287. these initializations itself.
  2288. - CONFIG_PRELOADER
  2289. Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
  2290. that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
  2291. compiling a NAND SPL.
  2292. - CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
  2293. CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
  2294. If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
  2295. be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
  2296. conditions but may increase the binary size.
  2297. Building the Software:
  2298. ======================
  2299. Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
  2300. and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
  2301. all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
  2302. (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
  2303. recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
  2304. which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
  2305. If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
  2306. have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
  2307. you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
  2308. Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
  2309. necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
  2310. $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
  2311. $ export CROSS_COMPILE
  2312. Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
  2313. the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
  2314. (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
  2315. toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
  2316. $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
  2317. Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
  2318. be executed on computers running Windows.
  2319. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  2320. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  2321. is done by typing:
  2322. make NAME_config
  2323. where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
  2324. rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
  2325. Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
  2326. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  2327. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  2328. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  2329. when choosing the configuration, i. e.
  2330. make TQM823L_config
  2331. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  2332. make TQM823L_LCD_config
  2333. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  2334. etc.
  2335. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  2336. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  2337. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  2338. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  2339. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  2340. By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
  2341. in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
  2342. this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
  2343. 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
  2344. make O=/tmp/build distclean
  2345. make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
  2346. make O=/tmp/build all
  2347. 2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
  2348. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2349. make distclean
  2350. make NAME_config
  2351. make all
  2352. Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
  2353. variable.
  2354. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  2355. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  2356. native "make".
  2357. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  2358. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  2359. steps:
  2360. 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
  2361. "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
  2362. entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
  2363. boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
  2364. keep this order.
  2365. 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  2366. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  2367. the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
  2368. 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  2369. your board
  2370. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  2371. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  2372. 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
  2373. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  2374. to be installed on your target system.
  2375. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  2376. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  2377. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  2378. ==============================================================
  2379. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  2380. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  2381. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  2382. the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  2383. official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
  2384. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  2385. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  2386. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  2387. just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
  2388. for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
  2389. select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
  2390. environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
  2391. you can type
  2392. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2393. or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
  2394. CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
  2395. When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
  2396. U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
  2397. setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
  2398. built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
  2399. <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
  2400. location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
  2401. variable. For example:
  2402. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2403. export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
  2404. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2405. With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
  2406. log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
  2407. during the whole build process.
  2408. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

  2456. Environment Variables:
  2457. ======================
  2458. U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
  2459. can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
  2460. Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
  2461. "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
  2462. without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
  2463. environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
  2464. working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
  2465. environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
  2466. Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
  2467. List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
  2468. baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
  2469. bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  2470. bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  2471. bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
  2472. bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
  2473. bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2474. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2475. a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
  2476. for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
  2477. environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
  2478. also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
  2479. kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
  2480. bootm_mapsize.
  2481. bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
  2482. This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
  2483. defines the size of the memory region starting at base
  2484. address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
  2485. during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
  2486. as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
  2487. used otherwise.
  2488. bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2489. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2490. a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
  2491. allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
  2492. environment variable.
  2493. updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
  2494. by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
  2495. documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
  2496. autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
  2497. "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
  2498. configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
  2499. load any image using TFTP
  2500. autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
  2501. "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
  2502. be automatically started (by internally calling
  2503. "bootm")
  2504. If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
  2505. "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
  2506. (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
  2507. This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
  2508. data.
  2509. i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  2510. if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
  2511. mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
  2512. initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
  2513. it must be saved and board must be reset.
  2514. initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
  2515. If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
  2516. copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
  2517. is usually what you want since it allows for
  2518. maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
  2519. make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
  2520. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
  2521. variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
  2522. Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
  2523. address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
  2524. does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
  2525. For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
  2526. RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
  2527. you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
  2528. the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
  2529. sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
  2530. 12 MB as well - this can be done with
  2531. setenv initrd_high 00c00000
  2532. If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
  2533. indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
  2534. for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
  2535. memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
  2536. ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
  2537. boot time on your system, but requires that this
  2538. feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
  2539. ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2540. loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
  2541. "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
  2542. loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  2543. serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2544. bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  2545. bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  2546. bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  2547. ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2548. interface is used first.
  2549. ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2550. interface is currently active. For example you
  2551. can do the following
  2552. => setenv ethact FEC
  2553. => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
  2554. => setenv ethact SCC
  2555. => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
  2556. ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
  2557. available network interfaces.
  2558. It just stays at the currently selected interface.
  2559. netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
  2560. either succeed or fail without retrying.
  2561. When set to "once" the network operation will
  2562. fail when all the available network interfaces
  2563. are tried once without success.
  2564. Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
  2565. themselves.
  2566. npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
  2567. tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
  2568. UDP source port.
  2569. tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
  2570. destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
  2571. tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
  2572. we use the TFTP server's default block size
  2573. tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
  2574. seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
  2575. when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
  2576. be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
  2577. Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
  2578. faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
  2579. with unreliable TFTP servers.
  2580. vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
  2581. Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
  2582. VLAN tagged frames.
  2583. The following environment variables may be used and automatically
  2584. updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
  2585. depending the information provided by your boot server:
  2586. bootfile - see above
  2587. dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
  2588. dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
  2589. gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
  2590. hostname - Target hostname
  2591. ipaddr - see above
  2592. netmask - Subnet Mask
  2593. rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
  2594. serverip - see above
  2595. There are two special Environment Variables:
  2596. serial# - contains hardware identification information such
  2597. as type string and/or serial number
  2598. ethaddr - Ethernet address
  2599. These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
  2600. the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
  2601. once they have been set once.
  2602. Further special Environment Variables:
  2603. ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
  2604. with the "version" command. This variable is
  2605. readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
  2606. Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
  2607. only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
  2608. Command Line Parsing:
  2609. =====================
  2610. There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
  2611. the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
  2612. Old, simple command line parser:
  2613. --------------------------------
  2614. - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
  2615. - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
  2616. - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
  2617. - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
  2618. for example:
  2619. setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
  2620. - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
  2621. setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
  2622. Hush shell:
  2623. -----------
  2624. - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
  2625. if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
  2626. until...do...done, ...
  2627. - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
  2628. commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
  2629. "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
  2630. command
  2631. General rules:
  2632. --------------
  2633. (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
  2634. command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
  2635. one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
  2636. executed anyway.
  2637. (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
  2638. calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
  2639. command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
  2640. variables are not executed.
  2641. Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
  2642. =======================================
  2643. Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
  2644. such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
  2645. "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
  2646. Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
  2647. MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
  2648. "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
  2649. If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
  2650. in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
  2651. ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
  2652. variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
  2653. o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  2654. environment, the SROM's address is used.
  2655. o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  2656. environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  2657. used.
  2658. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  2659. both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
  2660. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
  2661. addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
  2662. warning is printed.
  2663. o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
  2664. is raised.
  2665. If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
  2666. will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
  2667. may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
  2668. The naming convention is as follows:
  2669. "ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
  2670. Image Formats:
  2671. ==============
  2672. U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
  2673. images in two formats:
  2674. New uImage format (FIT)
  2675. -----------------------
  2676. Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
  2677. to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
  2678. components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
  2679. SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
  2680. Old uImage format
  2681. -----------------
  2682. Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
  2683. preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
  2684. details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
  2685. * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  2686. 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
  2687. LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
  2688. Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
  2689. INTEGRITY).
  2690. * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
  2691. IA64, MIPS, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
  2692. Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, Nios II, PowerPC).
  2693. * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
  2694. * Load Address
  2695. * Entry Point
  2696. * Image Name
  2697. * Image Timestamp
  2698. The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
  2699. and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
  2700. CRC32 checksums.
  2701. Linux Support:
  2702. ==============
  2703. Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
  2704. easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
  2705. U-Boot.
  2706. U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
  2707. special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
  2708. "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
  2709. instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
  2710. serves several purposes:
  2711. - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  2712. applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  2713. Flash memory footprint)
  2714. - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  2715. lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
  2716. - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  2717. images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  2718. be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  2719. have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  2720. change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  2721. software is easier now.
  2722. Linux HOWTO:
  2723. ============
  2724. Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
  2725. ---------------------------------------
  2726. U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
  2727. configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
  2728. (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
  2729. Linux :-).
  2730. But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
  2731. Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
  2732. include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
  2733. Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
  2734. and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
  2735. as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
  2736. Configuring the Linux kernel:
  2737. -----------------------------
  2738. No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
  2739. device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
  2740. Building a Linux Image:
  2741. -----------------------
  2742. With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
  2743. not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
  2744. "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
  2745. U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
  2746. which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
  2747. 100% compatible format.
  2748. Example:
  2749. make TQM850L_config
  2750. make oldconfig
  2751. make dep
  2752. make uImage
  2753. The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
  2754. encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
  2755. CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
  2756. * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
  2757. * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
  2758. ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
  2759. -R .note -R .comment \
  2760. -S vmlinux linux.bin
  2761. * compress the binary image:
  2762. gzip -9 linux.bin
  2763. * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
  2764. mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
  2765. -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
  2766. -d linux.bin.gz uImage
  2767. The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
  2768. with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
  2769. combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
  2770. byte header containing information about target architecture,
  2771. operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
  2772. stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
  2773. "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
  2774. print the header information, or to build new images.
  2775. In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
  2776. contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
  2777. checksum verification:
  2778. tools/mkimage -l image
  2779. -l ==> list image header information
  2780. The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
  2781. from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
  2782. tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
  2783. -n name -d data_file image
  2784. -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  2785. -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  2786. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  2787. -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  2788. -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  2789. -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  2790. -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  2791. -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  2792. Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
  2793. address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
  2794. kernel version:
  2795. - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
  2796. - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
  2797. So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
  2798. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2799. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
  2800. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
  2801. > examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2802. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2803. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2804. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2805. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2806. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2807. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2808. To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
  2809. -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2810. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2811. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2812. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2813. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2814. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2815. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2816. NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
  2817. speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
  2818. needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
  2819. need to be uncompressed:
  2820. -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
  2821. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2822. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
  2823. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
  2824. > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
  2825. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2826. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2827. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
  2828. Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
  2829. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2830. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2831. Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
  2832. when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
  2833. -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
  2834. > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
  2835. > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
  2836. Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
  2837. Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
  2838. Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
  2839. Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
  2840. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2841. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2842. Installing a Linux Image:
  2843. -------------------------
  2844. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  2845. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  2846. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  2847. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  2848. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  2849. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  2850. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  2851. command.
  2852. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  2853. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  2854. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
  2855. .......... done
  2856. Erased 8 sectors
  2857. => loads 40100000
  2858. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  2859. ~>examples/image.srec
  2860. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
  2861. ...
  2862. 15989 15990 15991 15992
  2863. [file transfer complete]
  2864. [connected]
  2865. ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
  2866. You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
  2867. this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
  2868. corruption happened:
  2869. => imi 40100000
  2870. ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
  2871. Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
  2872. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2873. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
  2874. Load Address: 00000000
  2875. Entry Point: 0000000c
  2876. Verifying Checksum ... OK
  2877. Boot Linux:
  2878. -----------
  2879. The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
  2880. memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
  2881. of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
  2882. parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
  2883. "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
  2884. => printenv bootargs
  2885. bootargs=root=/dev/ram

  2992. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  2993. ------------------------------
  2994. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  2995. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  2996. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  2997. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  2998. the Standalone Program.
  2999. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  3000. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  3001. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  3002. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  3003. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  3004. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  3005. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  3006. being started.
  3007. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  3008. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  3009. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  3010. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  3011. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  3012. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  3013. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  3014. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  3015. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  3016. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  3017. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  3018. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  3019. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  3020. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  3021. flash memory.
  3022. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  3023. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  3024. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  3025. as command interpreter.
  3026. Standalone HOWTO:
  3027. =================
  3028. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  3029. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  3030. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  3031. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  3032. "Hello World" Demo:
  3033. -------------------
  3034. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  3035. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  3036. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  3037. like that:
  3038. => loads
  3039. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  3040. ~>examples/hello_world.srec
  3041. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
  3042. [file transfer complete]
  3043. [connected]
  3044. ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
  3045. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  3046. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  3047. Hello World
  3048. argc = 7
  3049. argv[0] = "40004"
  3050. argv[1] = "Hello"
  3051. argv[2] = "World!"
  3052. argv[3] = "This"
  3053. argv[4] = "is"
  3054. argv[5] = "a"
  3055. argv[6] = "test."
  3056. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  3057. Hit any key to exit ...
  3058. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  3059. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  3060. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  3061. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  3062. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  3063. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  3064. controlled by the following keys:
  3065. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  3066. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  3067. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  3068. q - quit application
  3069. => loads

  3100. Minicom warning:
  3101. ================
  3102. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  3103. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  3104. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  3105. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  3106. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  3107. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
  3108. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  3109. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  3110. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  3111. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  3112. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  3113. NetBSD Notes:
  3114. =============
  3115. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  3116. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  3117. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  3118. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  3119. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  3120. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  3121. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  3122. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  3123. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  3124. # mkdir powerpc
  3125. # ln -s powerpc machine
  3126. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  3127. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  3128. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  3129. and U-Boot include files.
  3130. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  3131. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  3132. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  3133. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  3134. meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
  3135. Implementation Internals:
  3136. =========================
  3137. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  3138. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  3139. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  3140. hardware.
  3141. Initial Stack, Global Data:
  3142. ---------------------------
  3143. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  3144. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  3145. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  3146. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  3147. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  3148. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  3149. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  3150. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  3151. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  3152. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  3153. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  3154. U-Boot mailing list:
  3155. Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
  3156. From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
  3157. Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
  3158. ...
  3159. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  3160. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  3161. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  3162. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  3163. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  3164. beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
  3165. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  3166. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  3167. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  3168. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  3169. initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  3170. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  3171. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  3172. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  3173. used.
  3174. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  3175. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  3176. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  3177. walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  3178. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  3179. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  3180. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  3181. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  3182. you get the config right.
  3183. -Chris Hallinan

  3185. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  3186. code for the initialization procedures:
  3187. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  3188. to write it.
  3189. * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
  3190. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  3191. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  3192. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  3193. that.
  3194. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  3195. normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
  3196. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  3197. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  3198. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  3199. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  3200. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  3201. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  3202. reserve for this purpose.
  3203. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  3204. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  3205. GCC's implementation.
  3206. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  3207. R1: stack pointer
  3208. R2: reserved for system use
  3209. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  3210. R5-R10: parameter passing
  3211. R13: small data area pointer
  3212. R30: GOT pointer
  3213. R31: frame pointer
  3214. (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
  3215. is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
  3216. going back and forth between asm and C)
  3217. ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3218. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  3219. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  3220. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  3221. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  3222. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  3223. 624 text + 127 data).
  3224. On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
  3225. http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
  3226. ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3227. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  3228. R0: function argument word/integer result
  3229. R1-R3: function argument word
  3230. R9: GOT pointer
  3231. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
  3232. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  3233. R12: temporary workspace
  3234. R13: stack pointer
  3235. R14: link register
  3236. R15: program counter
  3237. ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3238. On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
  3239. http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
  3240. ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
  3241. Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
  3242. to access small data sections, so gp is free.
  3243. NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
  3244. or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
  3245. Memory Management:
  3246. ------------------
  3247. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  3248. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  3249. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  3250. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  3251. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  3252. physical memory banks.
  3253. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  3254. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  3255. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  3256. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  3257. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
  3258. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  3259. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  3260. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  3261. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  3262. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  3263. this:
  3264. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
  3265. :
  3266. 0x0000 1FFF
  3267. 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
  3268. :
  3269. :
  3270. :
  3271. :
  3272. 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
  3273. 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
  3274. 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
  3275. :
  3276. 0x00FD FFFF
  3277. 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
  3278. ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
  3279. ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
  3280. 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
  3281. System Initialization:
  3282. ----------------------
  3283. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  3284. (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  3285. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
  3286. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  3287. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  3288. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  3289. which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
  3290. part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
  3291. the caches and the SIU.
  3292. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  3293. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  3294. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  3295. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  3296. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  3297. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  3298. banks.
  3299. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  3300. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  3301. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  3302. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  3303. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  3304. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  3305. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  3306. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  3307. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  3308. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  3309. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  3310. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  3311. new address in RAM.

  3370. Coding Standards:
  3371. -----------------
  3372. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  3373. coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
  3374. "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
  3375. originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
  3376. spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
  3377. Source files originating from a different project (for example the
  3378. MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
  3379. reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
  3380. sources.
  3381. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
  3382. Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
  3383. in your code.
  3384. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  3385. - remove any trailing white space
  3386. - use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
  3387. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  3388. - do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
  3389. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  3390. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  3391. with a request to reformat the changes.
  3392. Submitting Patches:
  3393. -------------------
  3394. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  3395. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  3396. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  3397. Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
  3398. Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
  3399. see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
  3400. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  3401. it:
  3402. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  3403. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  3404. patch actually fixes something.
  3405. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  3406. implementation.
  3407. * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
  3408. * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
  3409. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
  3410. board to the MAKEALL script, too.
  3411. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  3412. document these in the README file.
  3413. * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
  3414. recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
  3415. "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
  3416. the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
  3417. with some other mail clients.
  3418. If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
  3419. diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
  3420. GNU diff.
  3421. The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
  3422. directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
  3423. your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
  3424. affected files).
  3425. We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
  3426. and compressed attachments must not be used.
  3427. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  3428. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  3429. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  3430. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  3431. Notes:
  3432. * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
  3433. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  3434. for any of the boards.
  3435. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  3436. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  3437. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  3438. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  3439. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  3440. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  3441. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  3442. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  3443. modification.
  3444. * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
  3445. u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
  3446. reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
  3447. bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
