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

  164. Software Configuration:
  165. =======================
  166. Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
  167. rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
  168. There are two classes of configuration variables:
  169. * Configuration _OPTIONS_:
  170. These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
  171. "CONFIG_".
  172. * Configuration _SETTINGS_:
  173. These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
  174. you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
  175. "CONFIG_SYS_".
  176. Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
  177. identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
  178. do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
  179. links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
  180. as an example here.
  181. Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
  182. ---------------------------------------------------
  183. For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
  184. configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
  185. Example: For a TQM823L module type:
  186. cd u-boot
  187. make TQM823L_config
  188. For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
  189. e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
  190. directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
  191. Configuration Options:
  192. ----------------------
  193. Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
  194. such information is kept in a configuration file
  195. "include/configs/<board_name>.h".
  196. Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
  197. "include/configs/TQM823L.h".
  198. Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
  199. kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
  200. build a config tool - later.
  201. The following options need to be configured:
  202. - CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
  203. - Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
  204. - CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
  205. Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
  206. - CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  207. Define exactly one of
  208. CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
  209. --- FIXME --- not tested yet:
  210. CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
  211. CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
  212. - Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  213. Define exactly one of
  214. CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
  215. - Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
  216. Define one or more of
  217. CONFIG_CMA302
  218. - Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
  219. Define one or more of
  220. CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
  221. the LCD display every second with
  222. a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
  223. - Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
  224. CONFIG_ADSTYPE
  225. Possible values are:
  226. CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS
  227. CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS
  228. CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
  229. CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
  230. - MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
  231. Define exactly one of
  232. CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
  233. - 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
  234. CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
  235. get_gclk_freq() cannot work
  236. e.g. if there is no 32KHz
  237. reference PIT/RTC clock
  238. CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
  239. or XTAL/EXTAL)
  240. - 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
  241. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
  242. CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
  243. CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
  244. See doc/README.MPC866
  245. CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
  246. Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
  247. of relying on the correctness of the configured
  248. values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
  249. the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
  250. that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
  251. RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
  252. CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
  253. Define this option if you want to enable the
  254. ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
  255. - Intel Monahans options:
  256. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
  257. Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
  258. ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
  259. frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
  260. CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
  261. Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
  262. ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
  263. 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
  264. by this value.
  265. - Linux Kernel Interface:
  266. CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
  267. U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
  268. internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
  269. kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
  270. bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
  271. "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
  272. converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
  273. Linux kernel.
  274. When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
  275. "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
  276. default environment.
  277. CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
  278. When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
  279. expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
  280. Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
  281. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  282. New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
  283. passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
  284. concepts).
  285. CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
  286. * New libfdt-based support
  287. * Adds the "fdt" command
  288. * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
  289. OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node.
  290. OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node.
  291. OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
  292. OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
  293. boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
  294. addresses
  295. CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
  296. Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
  297. to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
  298. CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
  299. This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
  300. param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
  301. - vxWorks boot parameters:
  302. bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
  303. environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
  304. It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
  305. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
  306. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
  307. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
  308. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
  309. CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
  310. Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
  311. Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
  312. the defaults discussed just above.
  313. - Serial Ports:
  314. CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
  315. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
  316. CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
  317. Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
  318. CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
  319. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
  320. the clock speed of the UARTs.
  321. CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
  322. If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
  323. define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
  324. port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
  325. - Console Interface:
  326. Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
  327. (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
  328. CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
  329. console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
  330. Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
  331. port routines must be defined elsewhere
  332. (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
  333. CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
  334. Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
  335. defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)
  336. VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
  337. (default big endian)
  338. VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
  339. rectangle fill
  340. (cf. smiLynxEM)
  341. VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
  342. bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
  343. VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
  344. (cols=pitch)
  345. VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
  346. VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
  347. VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
  348. (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)

  350. VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
  351. (i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
  352. VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
  353. (i.e. i8042_tstc)
  354. VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
  355. (i.e. i8042_getc)
  356. CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
  357. (requires blink timer
  358. cf. i8042.c)
  359. CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
  360. CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
  361. upper right corner
  362. (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
  363. CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
  364. upper left corner
  365. CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
  366. linux_logo.h for logo.
  367. Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
  368. CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
  369. additional board info beside
  370. the logo
  371. When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
  372. default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
  373. environment 'console=serial'.
  374. When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
  375. messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
  376. the "silent" environment variable. See
  377. doc/README.silent for more information.
  378. - Console Baudrate:
  379. CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
  380. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  381. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  382. CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
  383. - Console Rx buffer length
  384. With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
  385. the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
  386. This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
  387. If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
  388. must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
  389. the SMC.
  390. - Interrupt driven serial port input:
  391. CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
  392. PPC405GP only.
  393. Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
  394. serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
  395. (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
  396. bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
  397. Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
  398. disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
  399. - Console UART Number:
  400. CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
  401. AMCC PPC4xx only.
  402. If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
  403. as default U-Boot console.
  404. - Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
  405. Delay before automatically booting the default image;
  406. set to -1 to disable autoboot.
  407. See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
  408. work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
  409. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  410. CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
  411. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
  412. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
  413. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  414. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  415. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
  416. CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
  417. CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
  418. CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
  419. - Autoboot Command:
  420. CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  421. Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
  422. define a command string that is automatically executed
  423. when no character is read on the console interface
  424. within "Boot Delay" after reset.
  425. CONFIG_BOOTARGS
  426. This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
  427. command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
  428. environment value "bootargs".
  429. CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
  430. The value of these goes into the environment as
  431. "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
  432. as a convenience, when switching between booting from
  433. RAM and NFS.
  434. - Pre-Boot Commands:
  435. CONFIG_PREBOOT
  436. When this option is #defined, the existence of the
  437. environment variable "preboot" will be checked
  438. immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  439. countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
  440. entering interactive mode.
  441. This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
  442. automatically generated or modified. For an example
  443. see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
  444. modified when the user holds down a certain
  445. combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
  446. booting the systems
  447. - Serial Download Echo Mode:
  448. CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  449. If defined to 1, all characters received during a
  450. serial download (using the "loads" command) are
  451. echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
  452. emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
  453. time on others. This setting #define's the initial
  454. value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
  455. - Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
  456. CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
  457. Select one of the baudrates listed in
  458. CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
  459. - Monitor Functions:
  460. Monitor commands can be included or excluded
  461. from the build by using the #include files
  462. "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted
  463. commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h"
  464. and augmenting with additional #define's
  465. for wanted commands.
  466. The default command configuration includes all commands
  467. except those marked below with a "*".

  542. what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
  543. cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or

  545. uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
  546. systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
  547. initial stack and some data.
  548. XXX - this list needs to get updated!
  549. - Watchdog:
  550. CONFIG_WATCHDOG
  551. If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
  552. support. There must be support in the platform specific
  553. code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the
  554. SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
  555. register.
  556. - U-Boot Version:
  557. CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
  558. If this variable is defined, an environment variable
  559. named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
  560. version as printed by the "version" command.
  561. This variable is readonly.
  562. - Real-Time Clock:
  563. When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
  564. has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
  565. following options:
  566. CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
  567. CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC

  690. Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
  691. Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
  692. command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
  693. attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
  694. it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
  695. can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
  696. appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
  697. Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
  698. If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
  699. a Linux host by
  700. # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
  701. else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
  702. variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
  703. might be defined in YourBoardName.h

  718. - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
  719. If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
  720. define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
  721. or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
  722. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
  723. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
  724. should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
  725. CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
  726. Define this string as the name of your company for
  727. - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
  728. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
  729. Define this string as the name of your product
  730. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
  731. CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
  732. Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
  733. Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
  734. to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
  735. - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
  736. CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
  737. Define this as the unique Product ID
  738. for your device
  739. - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
  740. - MMC Support:
  741. The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
  742. enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
  743. accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
  744. to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
  745. enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
  746. the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
  747. - Journaling Flash filesystem support:
  748. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
  749. CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV

  755. Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
  756. function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
  757. If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
  758. #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
  759. to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
  760. have not defined a custom partition
  761. - Keyboard Support:
  762. CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
  763. Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
  764. support

  772. Define this to enable video support (for output to
  773. video).
  774. CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
  775. Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
  776. CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
  777. Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
  778. video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
  779. (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
  780. assumed.
  781. For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
  782. selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
  783. are possible:
  784. - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
  785. Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
  786. Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
  787. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  788. 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307
  789. 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319

  791. 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
  792. -------------+---------------------------------------------
  793. (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
  794. - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
  795. from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
  796. CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
  797. Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
  798. and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
  799. or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
  800. - Keyboard Support:
  801. CONFIG_KEYBOARD
  802. Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
  803. This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
  804. defined in your board-specific files.
  805. The only board using this so far is RBC823.
  806. - LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
  807. Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
  808. display); also select one of the supported displays
  809. by defining one of these:
  810. CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
  811. HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
  812. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
  813. NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
  814. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
  815. NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
  816. Active, color, single scan.
  817. CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
  818. NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
  819. Active, color, single scan.
  820. CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
  821. Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
  822. It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
  823. CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
  824. Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
  825. Active, color, single scan.
  826. CONFIG_HLD1045
  827. HLD1045 display, 640x480.
  828. Active, color, single scan.
  829. CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
  830. Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
  831. or
  832. Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
  833. or
  834. Hitachi SP14Q002
  835. 320x240. Black & white.
  836. Normally display is black on white background; define
  837. CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
  838. - Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
  839. If this option is set, the environment is checked for
  840. a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
  841. of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
  842. is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
  843. specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
  844. console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
  845. allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
  846. loaded very quickly after power-on.
  847. CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
  848. If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
  849. on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
  850. position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
  851. number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
  852. is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
  853. specify 'm' for centering the image.
  854. Example:
  855. setenv splashpos m,m
  856. => image at center of screen
  857. setenv splashpos 30,20
  858. => image at x = 30 and y = 20
  859. setenv splashpos -10,m
  860. => vertically centered image
  861. at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
  862. - Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
  863. If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
  864. images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
  865. splashscreen support or the bmp command.
  866. - Compression support:
  867. CONFIG_BZIP2
  868. If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
  869. images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
  870. compressed images are supported.
  871. NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
  872. the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
  873. be at least 4MB.
  874. CONFIG_LZMA
  875. If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
  876. images is included.
  877. Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
  878. requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
  879. formula:
  880. (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
  881. Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
  882. and Literal pos bits.
  883. This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
  884. for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
  885. total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
  886. a very small buffer.
  887. Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
  888. then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
  889. the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
  890. - MII/PHY support:
  891. CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
  892. The address of PHY on MII bus.
  893. CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
  894. The clock frequency of the MII bus
  895. CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
  896. If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
  897. detection of gigabit PHY is included.
  898. CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
  899. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  900. reset before any MII register access is possible.
  901. For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
  902. required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
  903. CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
  904. Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
  905. command issued before MII status register can be read
  906. - Ethernet address:
  907. CONFIG_ETHADDR
  908. CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
  909. CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
  910. CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
  911. CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
  912. CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
  913. Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
  914. for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
  915. is not determined automatically.
  916. - IP address:
  917. CONFIG_IPADDR
  918. Define a default value for the IP address to use for
  919. the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
  920. determined through e.g. bootp.
  921. - Server IP address:
  922. CONFIG_SERVERIP
  923. Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
  924. server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
  925. CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
  926. Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
  927. for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
  928. - Multicast TFTP Mode:
  929. CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
  930. Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
  931. rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
  932. tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
  933. driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
  934. multicast group.
  935. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  936. - BOOTP Recovery Mode:
  937. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  938. If you have many targets in a network that try to
  939. boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
  940. systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
  941. moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
  942. from a power failure, when all systems will try to
  943. boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
  944. CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
  945. inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
  946. following delays are inserted then:
  947. 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
  948. 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
  949. 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
  950. 4th and following
  951. BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
  952. - DHCP Advanced Options:
  953. You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
  954. CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
  955. CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
  956. CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
  957. CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
  958. CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
  959. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
  960. CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
  961. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  962. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
  963. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
  964. CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
  965. CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
  966. CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
  967. CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
  968. environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
  969. CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
  970. serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
  971. than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
  972. If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
  973. serverip will be stored in the additional environment
  974. variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
  975. stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
  976. is defined.
  977. CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
  978. to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
  979. need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
  980. If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
  981. of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
  982. option 12 to the DHCP server.
  983. CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
  984. A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
  985. receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
  986. This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
  987. respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
  988. AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
  989. to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
  990. DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
  991. least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
  992. that one of the retries will be successful but note that
  993. the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
  994. this delay.
  995. - CDP Options:
  996. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
  997. The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
  998. CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
  999. A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
  1000. of the device.
  1001. CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
  1002. A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
  1003. the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
  1004. eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
  1005. CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
  1006. A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
  1007. 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
  1008. CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
  1009. An ascii string containing the version of the software.
  1010. CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
  1011. An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
  1012. CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
  1013. A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
  1014. CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
  1015. A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
  1016. device in .1 of milliwatts.
  1017. CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
  1018. A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
  1019. - Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
  1020. Several configurations allow to display the current
  1021. status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
  1022. fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
  1023. soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
  1024. start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
  1025. (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
  1026. kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
  1027. feature in U-Boot.
  1028. - CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
  1029. Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
  1030. on those systems that support this (optional)
  1031. feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
  1032. - I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
  1033. These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
  1034. (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
  1035. include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
  1036. This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
  1037. command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
  1038. CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
  1039. clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
  1040. command line interface.
  1041. CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
  1042. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
  1043. bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
  1044. support for I2C.
  1045. There are several other quantities that must also be
  1046. defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
  1047. In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
  1048. to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
  1049. to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
  1050. the CPU's i2c node address).
  1051. Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
  1052. sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should
  1053. therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
  1054. p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
  1055. That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
  1056. If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
  1057. then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
  1058. from include/configs/lwmon.h):
  1059. I2C_INIT
  1060. (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
  1061. controller or configure ports.
  1062. eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
  1063. I2C_PORT
  1064. (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
  1065. assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
  1066. are 0..3 for ports A..D.
  1067. I2C_ACTIVE
  1068. The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
  1069. (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
  1070. define can be null.
  1071. eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
  1072. I2C_TRISTATE
  1073. The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
  1074. (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
  1075. define can be null.
  1076. eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
  1077. I2C_READ
  1078. Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
  1079. FALSE if it is low.
  1080. eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
  1081. I2C_SDA(bit)
  1082. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
  1083. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1084. eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
  1085. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
  1086. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
  1087. I2C_SCL(bit)
  1088. If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
  1089. is FALSE, it clears it (low).
  1090. eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
  1091. if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
  1092. else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
  1093. I2C_DELAY
  1094. This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
  1095. controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
  1096. is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
  1097. like:
  1098. #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
  1099. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
  1100. When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
  1101. chips might think that the current transfer is still
  1102. in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
  1103. the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
  1104. processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
  1105. connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
  1106. custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
  1107. is run early in the boot sequence.
  1108. CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  1109. This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
  1110. in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
  1111. variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
  1112. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1113. This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
  1114. must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
  1115. active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
  1116. Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
  1117. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
  1118. This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
  1119. when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1120. is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
  1121. a 1D array of device addresses
  1122. e.g.
  1123. #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1124. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
  1125. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
  1126. #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
  1127. #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
  1128. will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
  1129. CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  1130. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
  1131. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
  1132. CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
  1133. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
  1134. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
  1135. CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
  1136. If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
  1137. If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
  1138. CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
  1139. If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
  1140. If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
  1141. specified DTT device.
  1142. CONFIG_FSL_I2C
  1143. Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
  1144. drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
  1145. CONFIG_I2C_MUX
  1146. Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
  1147. I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
  1148. Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
  1149. new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
  1150. new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
  1151. the muxes to activate this new "bus".
  1152. CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
  1153. feature!
  1154. Example:
  1155. Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
  1156. The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
  1157. The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
  1158. => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
  1159. Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
  1160. of I2C Busses with muxes:
  1161. => i2c bus
  1162. Busses reached over muxes:
  1163. Bus ID: 2
  1164. reached over Mux(es):
  1165. pca9544a@70 ch: 4
  1166. Bus ID: 3
  1167. reached over Mux(es):
  1168. pca9544a@70 ch: 6
  1169. pca9544a@71 ch: 4
  1170. =>
  1171. If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
  1172. u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
  1173. channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
  1174. the channel 4.
  1175. After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
  1176. usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
  1177. the 2 muxes.
  1178. This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
  1179. algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
  1180. Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
  1181. to add this option to other architectures.
  1182. CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
  1183. defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
  1184. the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
  1185. between writing the address pointer and reading the
  1186. data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
  1187. of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
  1188. devices can use either method, but some require one or
  1189. the other.
  1190. - SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
  1191. Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
  1192. SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
  1193. D/As on the SACSng board)
  1194. CONFIG_SPI_X
  1195. Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
  1196. (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
  1197. CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
  1198. Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
  1199. using hardware support. This is a general purpose
  1200. driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
  1201. (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
  1202. defined, the board configuration must define several
  1203. SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
  1204. an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
  1205. CONFIG_HARD_SPI
  1206. Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
  1207. and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
  1208. must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
  1209. Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
  1210. example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
  1211. CONFIG_MXC_SPI
  1212. Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
  1213. SoCs. Currently only i.MX31 is supported.
  1214. - FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
  1215. Enables FPGA subsystem.
  1216. CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
  1217. Enables support for specific chip vendors.
  1218. (ALTERA, XILINX)
  1219. CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
  1220. Enables support for FPGA family.
  1221. (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
  1222. CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
  1223. Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
  1224. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
  1225. Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
  1226. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
  1227. Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
  1228. status by the configuration function. This option
  1229. will require a board or device specific function to
  1230. be written.
  1231. CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
  1232. If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
  1233. configuration driver.
  1234. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
  1235. Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
  1236. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
  1237. Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
  1238. loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
  1239. configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
  1240. indicated a CRC error).
  1241. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
  1242. Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
  1243. after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
  1244. FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
  1245. ms.
  1246. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
  1247. Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
  1248. Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
  1249. CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
  1250. Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
  1251. 200 ms.
  1252. - Configuration Management:
  1253. CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
  1254. If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
  1255. version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
  1256. - Vendor Parameter Protection:
  1257. U-Boot considers the values of the environment
  1258. variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
  1259. "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
  1260. are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
  1261. protects these variables from casual modification by
  1262. the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
  1263. and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
  1264. change this behaviour:
  1265. If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
  1266. file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
  1267. completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
  1268. these parameters.
  1269. Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
  1270. _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
  1271. Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
  1272. which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
  1273. serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
  1274. read-only.]
  1275. - Protected RAM:
  1276. CONFIG_PRAM
  1277. Define this variable to enable the reservation of
  1278. "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
  1279. by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
  1280. kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
  1281. this default value by defining an environment
  1282. variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
  1283. reserve. Note that the board info structure will
  1284. still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
  1285. reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
  1286. automatically be defined to hold the amount of
  1287. remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
  1288. argument to Linux, for instance like that:
  1289. setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
  1290. saveenv
  1291. This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
  1292. either, which results in a memory region that will
  1293. not be affected by reboots.
  1294. *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
  1295. detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
  1296. this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
  1297. following board configurations are known to be
  1298. "pRAM-clean":
  1299. ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
  1300. HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
  1301. PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
  1302. - Error Recovery:
  1303. CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
  1304. Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
  1305. fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
  1306. This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
  1307. system where you want the system to reboot
  1308. automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
  1309. useful during development since you can try to debug
  1310. the conditions that lead to the situation.
  1311. CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
  1312. This variable defines the number of retries for
  1313. network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
  1314. before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
  1315. default value of 5 is used.
  1316. CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
  1317. Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
  1318. - Command Interpreter:
  1319. CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
  1320. Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
  1321. Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
  1322. for the "hush" shell.
  1323. CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
  1324. Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
  1325. Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
  1326. powerful command line syntax like
  1327. if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
  1328. constructs ("shell scripts").
  1329. If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
  1330. with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
  1331. CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
  1332. This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
  1333. printed when the command interpreter needs more input
  1334. to complete a command. Usually "> ".
  1335. Note:
  1336. In the current implementation, the local variables
  1337. space and global environment variables space are
  1338. separated. Local variables are those you define by
  1339. simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
  1340. variable later on, you have write `$name' or
  1341. `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
  1342. directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
  1343. Global environment variables are those you use
  1344. setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
  1345. in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
  1346. and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
  1347. To store commands and special characters in a
  1348. variable, please use double quotation marks
  1349. surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
  1350. of the backslashes before semicolons and special
  1351. symbols.
  1352. - Commandline Editing and History:
  1353. CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
  1354. Enable editing and History functions for interactive
  1355. commandline input operations
  1356. - Default Environment:
  1357. CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
  1358. Define this to contain any number of null terminated
  1359. strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
  1360. the default environment compiled into the boot image.
  1361. For example, place something like this in your
  1362. board's config file:
  1363. #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
  1364. "myvar1=value1\0" \
  1365. "myvar2=value2\0"
  1366. Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
  1367. internal format how the environment is stored by the
  1368. U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
  1369. interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
  1370. will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
  1371. You better know what you are doing here.
  1372. Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
  1373. discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
  1374. the environment like the "source" command or the
  1375. boot command first.
  1376. - DataFlash Support:
  1377. CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
  1378. Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
  1379. allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
  1380. commands cp, md...
  1381. - SystemACE Support:
  1382. CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1383. Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
  1384. chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
  1385. of the chip must also be defined in the
  1386. CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
  1387. #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
  1388. #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
  1389. When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
  1390. becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
  1391. - TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
  1392. CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
  1393. If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
  1394. is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
  1395. If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
  1396. number generator is used.
  1397. Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
  1398. the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
  1399. defined, the normal port 69 is used.
  1400. The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
  1401. blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
  1402. target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
  1403. "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
  1404. the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
  1405. A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
  1406. but sometimes that is not allowed.
  1407. - Show boot progress:
  1408. CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
  1409. Defining this option allows to add some board-
  1410. specific code (calling a user-provided function
  1411. "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
  1412. the system's boot progress on some display (for
  1413. example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
  1414. the following checkpoints are implemented:
  1415. - Automatic software updates via TFTP server
  1416. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
  1417. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
  1418. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
  1419. These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
  1420. for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
  1421. - MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
  1422. CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
  1423. Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
  1424. Needed for mtdparts command support.
  1425. CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
  1426. Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
  1427. kernel. Needed for UBI support.

  1566. Modem Support:
  1567. --------------
  1568. [so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards]
  1569. - Modem support enable:
  1570. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
  1571. - RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
  1572. CONFIG_HWFLOW
  1573. - Modem debug support:
  1574. CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
  1575. Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
  1576. for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
  1577. - Interrupt support (PPC):
  1578. There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
  1579. for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
  1580. for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
  1581. should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
  1582. CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
  1583. (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
  1584. timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
  1585. specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
  1586. / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
  1587. general timer_interrupt().
  1588. - General:
  1589. In the target system modem support is enabled when a
  1590. specific key (key combination) is pressed during
  1591. power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
  1592. (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
  1593. board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
  1594. function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
  1595. initialization.
  1596. If there are no modem init strings in the
  1597. environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
  1598. previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
  1599. suppressed, though.
  1600. See also: doc/README.Modem
  1601. Configuration Settings:
  1602. -----------------------
  1603. - CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
  1604. undefine this when you're short of memory.
  1605. - CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
  1606. width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
  1607. - CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
  1608. prompt for user input.
  1609. - CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
  1610. - CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
  1611. - CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
  1612. - CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
  1613. the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
  1614. booted
  1615. - CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
  1616. List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
  1617. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
  1618. Suppress display of console information at boot.
  1619. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
  1620. If the board specific function
  1621. extern int overwrite_console (void);
  1622. returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
  1623. serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
  1624. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
  1625. Enable the call to overwrite_console().
  1626. - CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
  1627. Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
  1628. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
  1629. Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
  1630. simple memory test.
  1631. - CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
  1632. Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
  1633. - CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
  1634. Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
  1635. You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
  1636. - CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
  1637. If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
  1638. this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
  1639. (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
  1640. fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
  1641. the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
  1642. This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
  1643. board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
  1644. recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
  1645. will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
  1646. This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
  1647. CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
  1648. be touched.
  1649. WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
  1650. the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
  1651. then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
  1652. non page size aligned address and this could cause major
  1653. problems.
  1654. - CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR:
  1655. Default load address for network file downloads
  1656. - CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
  1657. Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
  1658. - CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
  1659. Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
  1660. - CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
  1661. Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
  1662. Cogent motherboard)
  1663. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
  1664. Physical start address of Flash memory.
  1665. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
  1666. Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
  1667. make config files to be same as the text base address
  1668. (TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
  1669. CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
  1670. - CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
  1671. Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
  1672. determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
  1673. embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
  1674. flash sector.
  1675. - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
  1676. Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
  1677. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
  1678. Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
  1679. uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
  1680. you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
  1681. to adjust this setting to your needs.
  1682. - CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
  1683. Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
  1684. the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
  1685. the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
  1686. used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
  1687. enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
  1688. all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
  1689. and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
  1690. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
  1691. Max number of Flash memory banks
  1692. - CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
  1693. Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
  1694. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
  1695. Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
  1696. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
  1697. Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
  1698. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
  1699. Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
  1700. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
  1701. Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
  1702. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
  1703. If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
  1704. instead of U-Boot software protection.
  1705. - CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
  1706. Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
  1707. without this option such a download has to be
  1708. performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
  1709. copy from RAM to flash.
  1710. The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
  1711. you can check if the download worked before you erase
  1712. the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
  1713. too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
  1714. downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
  1715. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
  1716. Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
  1717. common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
  1718. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
  1719. This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
  1720. in the drivers directory
  1721. - CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
  1722. This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
  1723. in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
  1724. to the MTD layer.
  1725. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
  1726. Use buffered writes to flash.
  1727. - CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
  1728. s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
  1729. write commands.
  1730. - CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
  1731. If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
  1732. print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
  1733. is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
  1734. optionally available.
  1735. - CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
  1736. If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
  1737. digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
  1738. column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
  1739. - CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
  1740. Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
  1741. Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
  1742. to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
  1743. buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
  1744. on high Ethernet traffic.
  1745. Defaults to 4 if not defined.
  1746. The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
  1747. of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
  1748. following configurations:
  1749. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
  1750. Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
  1751. a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
  1752. "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
  1753. happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
  1754. sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
  1755. sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
  1756. layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
  1757. such a case you would place the environment in one of the
  1758. 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
  1759. "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
  1760. environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
  1761. between U-Boot and the environment.
  1762. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1763. Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
  1764. beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
  1765. type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
  1766. for this sector is given here.
  1767. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
  1768. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1769. This is just another way to specify the start address of
  1770. the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
  1771. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
  1772. - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
  1773. Size of the sector containing the environment.
  1774. b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
  1775. In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
  1776. the environment.
  1777. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1778. If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
  1779. and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
  1780. of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
  1781. memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
  1782. It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
  1783. when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
  1784. since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
  1785. for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
  1786. STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
  1787. updating the environment in flash makes it always
  1788. necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
  1789. wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
  1790. RAM, your target system will be dead.
  1791. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
  1792. CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
  1793. These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
  1794. a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
  1795. a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
  1796. a "saveenv" operation.
  1797. BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
  1798. source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
  1799. accordingly!
  1800. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
  1801. Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
  1802. (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
  1803. environment.
  1804. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1805. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1806. These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
  1807. want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
  1808. can just be read and written to, without any special
  1809. provision.
  1810. BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
  1811. in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
  1812. console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
  1813. U-Boot will hang.
  1814. Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
  1815. environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
  1816. keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
  1817. to save the current settings.
  1818. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
  1819. Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
  1820. device and a driver for it.
  1821. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1822. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1823. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1824. environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
  1825. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
  1826. If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
  1827. The default address is zero.
  1828. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
  1829. If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
  1830. single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
  1831. would require six bits.
  1832. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
  1833. If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
  1834. page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
  1835. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
  1836. The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
  1837. that this is NOT the chip address length!
  1838. - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
  1839. EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
  1840. like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
  1841. address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
  1842. slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
  1843. byte chips.
  1844. Note that we consider the length of the address field to
  1845. still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
  1846. in the chip address.
  1847. - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
  1848. The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
  1849. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
  1850. Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
  1851. want to use for the environment.
  1852. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1853. - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
  1854. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1855. These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
  1856. environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
  1857. at the specified address.
  1858. - CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
  1859. Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
  1860. for the environment.
  1861. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
  1862. - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
  1863. These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
  1864. area within the first NAND device.
  1865. - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND
  1866. This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
  1867. size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
  1868. so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
  1869. power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
  1870. Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
  1871. to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
  1872. the NAND devices block size.
  1873. - CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
  1874. Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
  1875. environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
  1876. CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
  1877. - CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
  1878. Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
  1879. area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
  1880. is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
  1881. scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
  1882. calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
  1883. to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
  1884. start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
  1885. Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
  1886. has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
  1887. created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
  1888. until then to read environment variables.
  1889. The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
  1890. is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
  1891. with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
  1892. necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
  1893. "baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
  1894. have any device yet where we could complain.]
  1895. Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
  1896. the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
  1897. use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
  1898. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
  1899. Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
  1900. Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
  1901. also needs to be defined.
  1902. - CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
  1903. MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
  1904. - CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF:
  1905. Makes vsprintf (and all *printf functions) support printing
  1906. of 64bit values by using the L quantifier
  1907. - CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL:
  1908. Adds simple_strtoull that returns a 64bit value
  1909. - CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
  1910. Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
  1911. and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
  1912. drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
  1913. space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
  1914. limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
  1915. Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
  1916. ---------------------------------------------------
  1917. - CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
  1918. Cache Line Size of the CPU.
  1919. - CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
  1920. Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
  1921. Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
  1922. and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
  1923. the IMMR register after a reset.
  1924. - Floppy Disk Support:
  1925. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
  1926. the default drive number (default value 0)
  1927. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
  1928. defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
  1929. (default value 1)
  1930. CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
  1931. defines the offset of register from address. It
  1932. depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
  1933. the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
  1934. If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
  1935. CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
  1936. default value.
  1937. if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
  1938. fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
  1939. setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
  1940. source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
  1941. initializations.
  1942. - CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
  1943. DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
  1944. doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
  1945. - CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
  1946. Start address of memory area that can be used for
  1947. initial data and stack; please note that this must be
  1948. writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
  1949. initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
  1950. will become available only after programming the
  1951. memory controller and running certain initialization
  1952. sequences.
  1953. U-Boot uses the following memory types:
  1954. - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
  1955. - MPC824X: data cache
  1956. - PPC4xx: data cache
  1957. - CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
  1958. Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
  1959. area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
  1960. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
  1961. data is located at the end of the available space
  1962. (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END -
  1963. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
  1964. below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
  1965. CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
  1966. Note:
  1967. On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
  1968. cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
  1969. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
  1970. point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
  1971. the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
  1972. - CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6)
  1973. - CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9)

  2008. doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
  2009. - CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
  2010. Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
  2011. (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
  2012. #define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

  2022. Overrides the default PCI memory map in cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
  2023. - CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
  2024. Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
  2025. required.
  2026. - CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
  2027. Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
  2028. with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
  2029. SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
  2030. I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
  2031. - CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
  2032. If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
  2033. one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
  2034. to something your driver can deal with.
  2035. - CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
  2036. Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
  2037. be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
  2038. - CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
  2039. Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
  2040. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
  2041. Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
  2042. to the given FEC; i. e.
  2043. #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
  2044. means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
  2045. When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
  2046. - CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
  2047. The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
  2048. (so program the FEC to ignore it).
  2049. - CONFIG_RMII
  2050. Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
  2051. Note that this is a global option, we can't
  2052. have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
  2053. - CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
  2054. Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
  2055. The syntax is:
  2056. => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
  2057. Where address/count indicate a memory area
  2058. and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
  2059. area should have.
  2060. - CONFIG_LOOPW
  2061. Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
  2062. the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
  2063. - CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
  2064. Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
  2065. "md/mw" commands.
  2066. Examples:
  2067. => mdc.b 10 4 500
  2068. This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
  2069. => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
  2070. This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
  2071. This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
  2072. globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
  2073. - CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
  2074. - CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT
  2075. [ARM only] If these variables are defined, then
  2076. certain low level initializations (like setting up
  2077. the memory controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does
  2078. not relocate itself into RAM.
  2079. Normally these variables MUST NOT be defined. The
  2080. only exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by
  2081. some other boot loader or by a debugger which
  2082. performs these initializations itself.
  2083. - CONFIG_PRELOADER
  2084. Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
  2085. that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
  2086. compiling a NAND SPL.
  2087. Building the Software:
  2088. ======================
  2089. Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
  2090. and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
  2091. all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
  2092. (potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
  2093. recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
  2094. which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
  2095. If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
  2096. have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
  2097. you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
  2098. Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
  2099. necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
  2100. $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
  2101. $ export CROSS_COMPILE
  2102. Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
  2103. the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
  2104. (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
  2105. toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
  2106. $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
  2107. Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
  2108. be executed on computers running Windows.
  2109. U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
  2110. sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
  2111. is done by typing:
  2112. make NAME_config
  2113. where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
  2114. rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
  2115. Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
  2116. additional information is available from the board vendor; for
  2117. instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
  2118. or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
  2119. when choosing the configuration, i. e.
  2120. make TQM823L_config
  2121. - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
  2122. make TQM823L_LCD_config
  2123. - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
  2124. etc.
  2125. Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
  2126. images ready for download to / installation on your system:
  2127. - "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
  2128. - "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
  2129. - "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
  2130. By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
  2131. in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
  2132. this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
  2133. 1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
  2134. make O=/tmp/build distclean
  2135. make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
  2136. make O=/tmp/build all
  2137. 2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
  2138. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2139. make distclean
  2140. make NAME_config
  2141. make all
  2142. Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
  2143. variable.
  2144. Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
  2145. for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
  2146. native "make".
  2147. If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
  2148. to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
  2149. steps:
  2150. 1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
  2151. "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
  2152. entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
  2153. boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
  2154. keep this order.
  2155. 2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
  2156. files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
  2157. the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
  2158. 3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
  2159. your board
  2160. 3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
  2161. directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
  2162. 4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
  2163. 5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
  2164. to be installed on your target system.
  2165. 6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
  2166. [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
  2167. Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
  2168. ==============================================================
  2169. If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
  2170. or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
  2171. provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
  2172. the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
  2173. official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
  2174. But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
  2175. cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
  2176. the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
  2177. just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
  2178. for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
  2179. select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
  2180. environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
  2181. you can type
  2182. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2183. or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
  2184. CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
  2185. When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
  2186. U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
  2187. setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
  2188. built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
  2189. <target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
  2190. location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
  2191. variable. For example:
  2192. export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
  2193. export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
  2194. CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
  2195. With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
  2196. log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
  2197. during the whole build process.
  2198. See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below.

  2246. Environment Variables:
  2247. ======================
  2248. U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
  2249. can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
  2250. Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
  2251. "printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
  2252. without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
  2253. environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
  2254. working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
  2255. environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
  2256. Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables:
  2257. baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
  2258. bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
  2259. bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
  2260. bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
  2261. bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
  2262. bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2263. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2264. a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
  2265. for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
  2266. environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
  2267. also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
  2268. kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
  2269. bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
  2270. command can be restricted. This variable is given as
  2271. a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
  2272. allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
  2273. environment variable.
  2274. updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
  2275. by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
  2276. documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
  2277. autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
  2278. "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
  2279. configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
  2280. load any image using TFTP
  2281. autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
  2282. "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
  2283. to automatically run script images (by internally
  2284. calling "source").
  2285. autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
  2286. variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
  2287. autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
  2288. "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
  2289. be automatically started (by internally calling
  2290. "bootm")
  2291. If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
  2292. "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
  2293. (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
  2294. This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
  2295. data.
  2296. i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
  2297. if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
  2298. mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
  2299. initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
  2300. it must be saved and board must be reset.
  2301. initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
  2302. If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
  2303. copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
  2304. is usually what you want since it allows for
  2305. maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
  2306. make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
  2307. CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
  2308. variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
  2309. Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
  2310. address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
  2311. does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
  2312. For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
  2313. RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
  2314. you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
  2315. the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
  2316. sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
  2317. 12 MB as well - this can be done with
  2318. setenv initrd_high 00c00000
  2319. If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
  2320. indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
  2321. for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
  2322. memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
  2323. ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
  2324. boot time on your system, but requires that this
  2325. feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
  2326. ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2327. loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
  2328. "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
  2329. loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
  2330. serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
  2331. bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
  2332. bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
  2333. bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
  2334. ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2335. interface is used first.
  2336. ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
  2337. interface is currently active. For example you
  2338. can do the following
  2339. => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
  2340. => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
  2341. => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
  2342. => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
  2343. ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
  2344. available network interfaces.
  2345. It just stays at the currently selected interface.
  2346. netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
  2347. either succeed or fail without retrying.
  2348. When set to "once" the network operation will
  2349. fail when all the available network interfaces
  2350. are tried once without success.
  2351. Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
  2352. themselves.
  2353. npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
  2354. tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
  2355. UDP source port.
  2356. tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
  2357. destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
  2358. vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
  2359. Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
  2360. VLAN tagged frames.
  2361. The following environment variables may be used and automatically
  2362. updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
  2363. depending the information provided by your boot server:
  2364. bootfile - see above
  2365. dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
  2366. dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
  2367. gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
  2368. hostname - Target hostname
  2369. ipaddr - see above
  2370. netmask - Subnet Mask
  2371. rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
  2372. serverip - see above
  2373. There are two special Environment Variables:
  2374. serial# - contains hardware identification information such
  2375. as type string and/or serial number
  2376. ethaddr - Ethernet address
  2377. These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
  2378. the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
  2379. once they have been set once.
  2380. Further special Environment Variables:
  2381. ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
  2382. with the "version" command. This variable is
  2383. readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
  2384. Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
  2385. only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
  2386. Command Line Parsing:
  2387. =====================
  2388. There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
  2389. the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
  2390. Old, simple command line parser:
  2391. --------------------------------
  2392. - supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
  2393. - several commands on one line, separated by ';'
  2394. - variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
  2395. - special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
  2396. for example:
  2397. setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
  2398. - You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
  2399. setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
  2400. Hush shell:
  2401. -----------
  2402. - similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
  2403. if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
  2404. until...do...done, ...
  2405. - supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
  2406. commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
  2407. "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
  2408. command
  2409. General rules:
  2410. --------------
  2411. (1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
  2412. command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
  2413. one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
  2414. executed anyway.
  2415. (2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
  2416. calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
  2417. command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
  2418. variables are not executed.
  2419. Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
  2420. =======================================
  2421. Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
  2422. such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
  2423. "working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
  2424. Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
  2425. MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
  2426. "eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
  2427. If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
  2428. in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
  2429. ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
  2430. variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
  2431. o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  2432. environment, the SROM's address is used.
  2433. o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  2434. environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  2435. used.
  2436. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  2437. both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
  2438. o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
  2439. addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
  2440. warning is printed.
  2441. o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
  2442. is raised.
  2443. Image Formats:
  2444. ==============
  2445. U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
  2446. images in two formats:
  2447. New uImage format (FIT)
  2448. -----------------------
  2449. Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
  2450. to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
  2451. components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
  2452. SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
  2453. Old uImage format
  2454. -----------------
  2455. Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
  2456. preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
  2457. details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
  2458. * Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
  2459. 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
  2460. LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
  2461. Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
  2462. INTEGRITY).
  2463. * Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
  2464. IA64, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
  2465. Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC).
  2466. * Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
  2467. * Load Address
  2468. * Entry Point
  2469. * Image Name
  2470. * Image Timestamp
  2471. The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
  2472. and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
  2473. CRC32 checksums.
  2474. Linux Support:
  2475. ==============
  2476. Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
  2477. easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
  2478. U-Boot.
  2479. U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
  2480. special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
  2481. "initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
  2482. instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
  2483. serves several purposes:
  2484. - the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  2485. applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  2486. Flash memory footprint)
  2487. - it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  2488. lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
  2489. - the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  2490. images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  2491. be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  2492. have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  2493. change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  2494. software is easier now.
  2495. Linux HOWTO:
  2496. ============
  2497. Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
  2498. ---------------------------------------
  2499. U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
  2500. configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
  2501. (no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
  2502. Linux :-).
  2503. But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
  2504. Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
  2505. include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
  2506. Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
  2507. and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
  2508. as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
  2509. Configuring the Linux kernel:
  2510. -----------------------------
  2511. No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
  2512. device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
  2513. Building a Linux Image:
  2514. -----------------------
  2515. With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
  2516. not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
  2517. "uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
  2518. U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
  2519. which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
  2520. 100% compatible format.
  2521. Example:
  2522. make TQM850L_config
  2523. make oldconfig
  2524. make dep
  2525. make uImage
  2526. The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
  2527. encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
  2528. CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
  2529. * build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
  2530. * convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
  2531. ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
  2532. -R .note -R .comment \
  2533. -S vmlinux linux.bin
  2534. * compress the binary image:
  2535. gzip -9 linux.bin
  2536. * package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
  2537. mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
  2538. -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
  2539. -d linux.bin.gz uImage
  2540. The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
  2541. with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
  2542. combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
  2543. byte header containing information about target architecture,
  2544. operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
  2545. stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
  2546. "mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
  2547. print the header information, or to build new images.
  2548. In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
  2549. contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
  2550. checksum verification:
  2551. tools/mkimage -l image
  2552. -l ==> list image header information
  2553. The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
  2554. from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
  2555. tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
  2556. -n name -d data_file image
  2557. -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
  2558. -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
  2559. -T ==> set image type to 'type'
  2560. -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
  2561. -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
  2562. -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
  2563. -n ==> set image name to 'name'
  2564. -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
  2565. Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
  2566. address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
  2567. kernel version:
  2568. - 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
  2569. - 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
  2570. So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
  2571. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2572. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
  2573. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
  2574. > examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2575. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2576. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2577. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2578. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2579. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2580. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2581. To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
  2582. -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
  2583. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2584. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
  2585. Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  2586. Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
  2587. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2588. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2589. NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
  2590. speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
  2591. needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
  2592. need to be uncompressed:
  2593. -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
  2594. -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
  2595. > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
  2596. > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux \
  2597. > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
  2598. Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
  2599. Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000

  2602. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2603. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2604. Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
  2605. when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
  2606. -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
  2607. > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
  2608. > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
  2609. Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
  2610. Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
  2611. Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
  2612. Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
  2613. Load Address: 0x00000000
  2614. Entry Point: 0x00000000
  2615. Installing a Linux Image:
  2616. -------------------------
  2617. To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
  2618. you must convert the image to S-Record format:
  2619. objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
  2620. The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
  2621. image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
  2622. address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
  2623. specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
  2624. command.
  2625. Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
  2626. TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
  2627. => erase 40100000 401FFFFF
  2628. .......... done
  2629. Erased 8 sectors
  2630. => loads 40100000
  2631. ## Ready for S-Record download ...

  2636. [file transfer complete]
  2637. [connected]
  2638. ## Start Addr = 0x00000000
  2639. You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
  2640. this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
  2641. corruption happened:
  2642. => imi 40100000
  2643. ## Checking Image at 40100000 ...

  2650. Boot Linux:
  2651. -----------
  2652. The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
  2653. memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
  2654. of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
  2655. parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
  2656. "printenv" and "setenv" commands:
  2657. => printenv bootargs
  2658. bootargs=root=/dev/ram
  2659. => setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
  2660. => printenv bootargs
  2661. bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

  2765. More About U-Boot Image Types:
  2766. ------------------------------
  2767. U-Boot supports the following image types:
  2768. "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
  2769. provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
  2770. well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
  2771. the Standalone Program.
  2772. "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
  2773. will take over control completely. Usually these programs
  2774. will install their own set of exception handlers, device
  2775. drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
  2776. expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
  2777. "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
  2778. parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
  2779. being started.
  2780. "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
  2781. (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
  2782. RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
  2783. to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
  2784. server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
  2785. for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
  2786. "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
  2787. image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
  2788. byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
  2789. Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
  2790. one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
  2791. a multiple of 4 bytes).
  2792. "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
  2793. U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
  2794. flash memory.
  2795. "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
  2796. U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
  2797. useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
  2798. as command interpreter.
  2799. Standalone HOWTO:
  2800. =================
  2801. One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
  2802. run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
  2803. U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
  2804. Two simple examples are included with the sources:
  2805. "Hello World" Demo:
  2806. -------------------
  2807. 'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
  2808. application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
  2809. It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
  2810. like that:
  2811. => loads
  2812. ## Ready for S-Record download ...
  2813. ~>examples/hello_world.srec
  2814. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
  2815. [file transfer complete]
  2816. [connected]
  2817. ## Start Addr = 0x00040004
  2818. => go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
  2819. ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
  2820. Hello World
  2821. argc = 7
  2822. argv[0] = "40004"
  2823. argv[1] = "Hello"
  2824. argv[2] = "World!"
  2825. argv[3] = "This"
  2826. argv[4] = "is"
  2827. argv[5] = "a"
  2828. argv[6] = "test."
  2829. argv[7] = "<NULL>"
  2830. Hit any key to exit ...
  2831. ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
  2832. Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
  2833. handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
  2834. Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
  2835. The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
  2836. character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
  2837. controlled by the following keys:
  2838. ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
  2839. b - enable interrupts and start timer
  2840. e - stop timer and disable interrupts
  2841. q - quit application
  2842. => loads

  2873. Minicom warning:
  2874. ================
  2875. Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
  2876. "minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
  2877. consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
  2878. Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
  2879. especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
  2880. use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).
  2881. Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
  2882. configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
  2883. Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
  2884. X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
  2885. Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N
  2886. NetBSD Notes:
  2887. =============
  2888. Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
  2889. (build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
  2890. Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
  2891. NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
  2892. need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
  2893. Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
  2894. attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
  2895. missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
  2896. # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
  2897. # mkdir powerpc
  2898. # ln -s powerpc machine
  2899. # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
  2900. # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
  2901. Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
  2902. and U-Boot include files.
  2903. Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
  2904. stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
  2905. proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
  2906. tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
  2907. meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
  2908. Implementation Internals:
  2909. =========================
  2910. The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
  2911. implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
  2912. inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
  2913. hardware.
  2914. Initial Stack, Global Data:

  2916. The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
  2917. starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
  2918. system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
  2919. This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
  2920. is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
  2921. at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
  2922. options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
  2923. models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
  2924. MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
  2925. locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
  2926. Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
  2927. U-Boot mailing list:

  2931. ...
  2932. Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
  2933. is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
  2934. require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
  2935. is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
  2936. necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
  2937. beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
  2938. can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
  2939. operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
  2940. OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
  2941. is another option for the system designer to use as an
  2942. initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
  2943. option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
  2944. board designers haven't used it for something that would
  2945. cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
  2946. used.
  2947. CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
  2948. with your processor/board/system design. The default value
  2949. you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
  2950. walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
  2951. than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
  2952. it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
  2953. that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
  2954. start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
  2955. you get the config right.

  2958. It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
  2959. code for the initialization procedures:
  2960. * Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  2961. to write it.
  2962. * Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
  2963. as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  2964. zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
  2965. * Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  2966. that.
  2967. Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
  2968. normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
  2969. turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
  2970. simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
  2971. functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
  2972. functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
  2973. the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
  2974. place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
  2975. reserve for this purpose.
  2976. When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
  2977. relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
  2978. GCC's implementation.
  2979. For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
  2980. R1: stack pointer
  2981. R2: reserved for system use
  2982. R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
  2983. R5-R10: parameter passing
  2984. R13: small data area pointer
  2985. R30: GOT pointer
  2986. R31: frame pointer
  2987. (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
  2988. ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2989. Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
  2990. address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
  2991. but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
  2992. smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
  2993. average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
  2994. 624 text + 127 data).
  2995. On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:
  2996. http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
  2997. ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data
  2998. On ARM, the following registers are used:
  2999. R0: function argument word/integer result
  3000. R1-R3: function argument word
  3001. R9: GOT pointer
  3002. R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
  3003. R11: argument (frame) pointer
  3004. R12: temporary workspace
  3005. R13: stack pointer
  3006. R14: link register
  3007. R15: program counter
  3008. ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
  3009. NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
  3010. or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
  3011. Memory Management:
  3012. ------------------
  3013. U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
  3014. MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
  3015. The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
  3016. controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
  3017. memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
  3018. physical memory banks.
  3019. U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
  3020. TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
  3021. booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
  3022. to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
  3023. memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
  3024. configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
  3025. Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
  3026. Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
  3027. of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
  3028. So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
  3029. this:
  3030. 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
  3031. :
  3032. 0x0000 1FFF
  3033. 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
  3034. :
  3035. :
  3036. :
  3037. :
  3038. 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
  3039. 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
  3040. 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
  3041. :
  3042. 0x00FD FFFF
  3043. 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
  3044. ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
  3045. ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
  3046. 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
  3047. System Initialization:
  3048. ----------------------
  3049. In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
  3050. (on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
  3051. configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
  3052. To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
  3053. To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
  3054. initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
  3055. which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
  3056. part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
  3057. the caches and the SIU.
  3058. Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
  3059. preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
  3060. (multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
  3061. on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
  3062. programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
  3063. simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
  3064. banks.
  3065. When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
  3066. different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
  3067. bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
  3068. 0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
  3069. contiguous memory starting from 0.
  3070. Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
  3071. and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
  3072. Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
  3073. pages, and the final stack is set up.
  3074. Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
  3075. until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
  3076. running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
  3077. new address in RAM.

  3136. Coding Standards:
  3137. -----------------
  3138. All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
  3139. coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
  3140. "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
  3141. originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
  3142. spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
  3143. Source files originating from a different project (for example the
  3144. MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
  3145. reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
  3146. sources.
  3147. Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
  3148. Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
  3149. in your code.
  3150. Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
  3151. - remove any trailing white space
  3152. - use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
  3153. - make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
  3154. - do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
  3155. - do not add trailing empty lines to source files
  3156. Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
  3157. with a request to reformat the changes.
  3158. Submitting Patches:
  3159. -------------------
  3160. Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
  3161. establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
  3162. may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
  3163. Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
  3164. Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
  3165. see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
  3166. When you send a patch, please include the following information with
  3167. it:
  3168. * For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
  3169. this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
  3170. patch actually fixes something.
  3171. * For new features: a description of the feature and your
  3172. implementation.
  3173. * A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
  3174. * For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
  3175. * When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
  3176. board to the MAKEALL script, too.
  3177. * If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
  3178. document these in the README file.
  3179. * The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
  3180. recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
  3181. "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
  3182. the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
  3183. with some other mail clients.
  3184. If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
  3185. diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
  3186. GNU diff.
  3187. The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
  3188. directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
  3189. your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
  3190. affected files).
  3191. We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
  3192. and compressed attachments must not be used.
  3193. * If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
  3194. files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
  3195. * Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
  3196. submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
  3197. Notes:
  3198. * Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
  3199. source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
  3200. for any of the boards.
  3201. * Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
  3202. containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
  3203. returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
  3204. * If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
  3205. add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
  3206. When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
  3207. (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
  3208. disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
  3209. modification.
  3210. * Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
  3211. u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
  3212. reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
  3213. bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
