You do not need to use the typedefs provided by compiler. Our compilers are either IPL32 or LP64. Hence, U-Boot can/should always use int-ll64.h typedefs like Linux kernel, whatever the typedefs the compiler internally uses. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

Summary:
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
|
|
Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
|
|
processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
|
|
initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
|
|
the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
|
|
header files in common, and special provision has been made to
|
|
support booting of Linux images.
|
|
|
|
Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
|
|
configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
|
|
implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
|
|
add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
|
|
code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
|
|
load and run it dynamically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Status:
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
|
|
Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
|
|
"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
|
|
|
|
In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
|
|
the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
|
|
scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
|
|
companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
|
|
|
|
Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
|
|
actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
|
|
from the Git log using:
|
|
|
|
make CHANGELOG
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
into a time stamp based numbering. Regular releases are identified by
|
|
names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date.
|
|
Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix
|
|
releases in "stable" maintenance trees.

|
Software Configuration:
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
|
|
rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
|
|
|
|
There are two classes of configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
|
|
These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
|
|
"CONFIG_".
|
|
|
|
* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
|
|
These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
|
|
you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
|
|
"CONFIG_SYS_".
|
|
|
|
Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
|
|
symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
|
|
U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
|
|
allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
|
|
build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
|
|
configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
|
|
|
|
Example: For a TQM823L module type:
|
|
|
|
cd u-boot
|
|
make TQM823L_defconfig
|
|
|
|
Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
|
|
you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
|
|
doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
|
|
|
|
Sandbox Environment:
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
|
|
board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
|
|
specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
|
|
run some of U-Boot's tests.
|
|
|
|
See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Board Initialisation Flow:
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
|
|
SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
|
|
|
|
Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
|
|
more detail later in this file.
|
|
|
|
At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
|
|
and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
|
|
may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
|
|
|
|
Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
|
|
CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
|
|
|
|
- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
|
|
- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
|
|
- arch/mips/cpu/start.S
|
|
|
|
and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
|
|
limitations of each of these functions are described below.
|
|
|
|
lowlevel_init():
|
|
- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
|
|
- no global_data or BSS
|
|
- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
|
|
- must not set up SDRAM or use console
|
|
- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
|
|
board_init_f()
|
|
- this is almost never needed
|
|
- return normally from this function
|
|
|
|
board_init_f():
|
|
- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
|
|
i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
|
|
- global_data is available
|
|
- stack is in SRAM
|
|
- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
|
|
only stack variables and global_data
|
|
|
|
Non-SPL-specific notes:
|
|
- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
|
|
can do nothing
|
|
|
|
SPL-specific notes:
|
|
- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
|
|
version as needed.
|
|
- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
|
|
- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
|
|
- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
|
|
- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
|
|
directly)
|
|
|
|
Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
|
|
this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
|
|
memory.
|
|
|
|
board_init_r():
|
|
- purpose: main execution, common code
|
|
- global_data is available
|
|
- SDRAM is available
|
|
- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
|
|
- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
|
|
|
|
Non-SPL-specific notes:
|
|
- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
SPL-specific notes:
|
|
- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
|
|
- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
|
|
done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
|
|
spl_board_init() function containing this call
|
|
- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration Options:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
|
|
such information is kept in a configuration file
|
|
"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
|
|
|
|
Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
|
|
"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
|
|
kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
|
|
build a config tool - later.
|
|
|
|
- ARM Platform Bus Type(CCI):
|
|
CoreLink Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI) is ARM BUS which
|
|
provides full cache coherency between two clusters of multi-core
|
|
CPUs and I/O coherency for devices and I/O masters
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCI400
|
|
|
|
Defined For SoC that has cache coherent interconnect
|
|
CCN-400
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCN504
|
|
|
|
Defined for SoC that has cache coherent interconnect CCN-504
|
|
|
|
The following options need to be configured:
|
|
|
|
- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
|
|
|
|
- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
|
|
|
|
- 85xx CPU Options:
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
|
|
|
|
Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
|
|
the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
|
|
compliance, among other possible reasons.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
|
|
|
|
Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
|
|
system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
|
|
devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
|
|
|
|
Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
|
|
tree nodes for the given platform.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
|
|
|
|
Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set,
|
|
then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
|
|
|
|
Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
|
|
for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
|
|
|
|
The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
|
|
of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
|
|
p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
|
|
whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
|
|
|
|
See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
|
|
this erratum.
|

|
|
connected to the DSP core.
|
|

|
|
This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
|
|
Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
|
|
In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
|
|
clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
|
|
This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
|
|
time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
|
|
|

|
|
CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
|
|
|
|
Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
|
|
XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
|
|
be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
|
|
|
|
- ARM options:
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
|
|
|
|
Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
|
|
clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
|
|
|
|
COUNTER_FREQUENCY
|
|
Generic timer clock source frequency.
|
|
|
|
COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL

|
|
|
|
- Tegra SoC options:
|
|
CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
|
|
|
|
Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
|
|
impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
|
|
such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
|
|
|
|
- Linux Kernel Interface:
|
|
CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
|
|
|
|
U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
|
|
internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
|
|
kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
|
|
bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
|
|
"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
|
|
converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
|
|
Linux kernel.
|
|
When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
|
|
"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
|
|
default environment.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
|
|
|
|
When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
|
|
expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
|
|
Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
|
|
|
|
New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
|
|
passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
|
|
concepts).
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
|
|
* New libfdt-based support
|
|
* Adds the "fdt" command
|
|
* The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
|
|
|
|
OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
|
|
OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
|
|
|
|
boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
|
|
addresses
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
|
|
|
|
Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
|
|
to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
|
|
|
|
Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
|
|
to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
|
|
This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
|
|
the kernel.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
|
|
|
|
U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
|
|
If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
|
|
removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
|
|
so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
|
|
crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
|
|
no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
|
|
|
|
This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
|
|
machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
|
|
number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
|
|
(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
|
|
Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
|
|
in a single configuration file and the machine type is
|
|
runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
|
|
|
|
- vxWorks boot parameters:
|
|
|
|
bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
|
|
environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
|
|
serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
|
|
It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
|
|
|
|
Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
|
|
the defaults discussed just above.
|
|
|
|
- Cache Configuration:
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
|
|
|
|
- Cache Configuration for ARM:
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
|
|
controller
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
|
|
controller register space
|
|
|
|
- Serial Ports:
|
|
CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
|
|
|
|
Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
|
|
|
|
Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
|
|
|
|
If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
|
|
the clock speed of the UARTs.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
|
|
|
|
If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
|
|
define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
|
|
port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
|
|
|
|
Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
|
|
Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
|
|
|
|
- Console Baudrate:
|
|
CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
|
|
Select one of the baudrates listed in
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
|
|
|
|
- Autoboot Command:
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
|
|
Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
|
|
define a command string that is automatically executed
|
|
when no character is read on the console interface
|
|
within "Boot Delay" after reset.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
|
|
The value of these goes into the environment as
|
|
"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
|
|
as a convenience, when switching between booting from
|
|
RAM and NFS.
|
|
|
|
- Pre-Boot Commands:
|
|
CONFIG_PREBOOT
|
|
|
|
When this option is #defined, the existence of the
|
|
environment variable "preboot" will be checked
|
|
immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
|
|
countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
|
|
entering interactive mode.
|
|
|
|
This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
|
|
automatically generated or modified. For an example
|
|
see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
|
|
modified when the user holds down a certain
|
|
combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
|
|
booting the systems
|
|
|
|
- Serial Download Echo Mode:
|
|
CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
|
|
If defined to 1, all characters received during a
|
|
serial download (using the "loads" command) are
|
|
echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
|
|
emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
|
|
time on others. This setting #define's the initial
|
|
value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
|
|
CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
|
|
Select one of the baudrates listed in
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
|
|
|
|
- Removal of commands
|
|
If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
|
|
CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
|
|
will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
|
|
boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
|
|
instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
|
|
simple boot procedures.
|
|
|
|
- Regular expression support:
|
|
CONFIG_REGEX
|
|
If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
|
|
the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
|
|
which adds regex support to some commands, as for
|
|
example "env grep" and "setexpr".
|
|
|
|
- Device tree:
|
|
CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
|
|
If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
|
|
to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
|
|
compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
|
|
experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
|
|
tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
|
|
be done using one of the three options below:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_EMBED
|
|
If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
|
|
binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
|
|
board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
|
|
is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
|
|
the global data structure as gd->fdt_blob.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
|
|
If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
|
|
binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
|
|
code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
|
|
|
|
cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
|
|
|
|
and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
|
|
u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
|
|
still use the individual files if you need something more
|
|
exotic.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OF_BOARD
|
|
If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
|
|
provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
|
|
the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
|
|
this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
|
|
|
|
- Watchdog:
|
|
CONFIG_WATCHDOG
|
|
If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
|
|
support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
|
|
specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
|
|
CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
|
|
register. When supported for a specific SoC is
|
|
available, then no further board specific code should
|
|
be needed to use it.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
|
|
When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
|
|
SoC, then define this variable and provide board
|
|
specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
|
|
specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
|
|
|
|
- Real-Time Clock:
|
|
|
|
When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
|
|
has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
|
|
following options:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
|
|
CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
|
|
RV3029 RTC.
|
|
|
|
Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
|
|
must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
|
|
|
|
- GPIO Support:
|
|
CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
|
|
|
|
The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
|
|
chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
|
|
pins supported by a particular chip.
|
|
|
|
Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
|
|
must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
|
|
|
|
- I/O tracing:
|
|
When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
|
|
accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
|
|
to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
|
|
useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
|
|
the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
|
|
change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
|
|
add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
|
|
to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
|
|
|
|
Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
|
|
Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
|
|
still continue to operate.
|
|
|
|
iotrace is enabled
|
|
Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
|
|
Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
|
|
Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
|
|
Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
|
|
Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
|
|
CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
|
|
|
|
- Timestamp Support:
|
|
|
|
When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
|
|
(date and time) of an image is printed by image
|
|
commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
|
|
automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
|
|
|
|
- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
|
|
Zero or more of the following:
|
|
CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
|
|
CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
|
|
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
|
|
bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
|
|
disk/part_efi.c
|
|
CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
|
|
least one non-MTD partition type as well.
|
|
|
|
- IDE Reset method:
|
|
CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
|
|
board configurations files but used nowhere!
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
|
|
be performed by calling the function
|
|
ide_set_reset(int reset)
|
|
which has to be defined in a board specific file
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
|
|
Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
|
|
Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
|
|
support disks up to 2.1TB.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
|
|
When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
|
|
Default is 32bit.
|
|
|
|
- SCSI Support:
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
|
|
maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
|
|
devices.
|
|
|
|
The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
|
|
SCSI devices found during the last scan.

CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_I2C
|
|
Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 I2C devices.
|
|
Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and I2C.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_SPI
|
|
Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 SPI devices.
|
|
Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and SPI.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI
|
|
Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC
|
|
Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device
|
|
per system is supported at this time.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS
|
|
Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped
|
|
to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
|
|
0xfed40000.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TPM
|
|
Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
|
|
functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
|
|
Requires support for a TPM device.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
|
|
Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
|
|
Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
|
|
|
|
- USB Support:
|
|
At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
|
|
supported (PIP405, MIP405); define
|
|
CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
|
|
define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
|
|
and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
|
|
storage devices.
|
|
Note:
|
|
Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
|
|
(TEAC FD-05PUB).
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
|
|
txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
|
|
HW module registers.
|
|
|
|
- USB Device:
|
|
Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
|
|
Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
|
|
command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
|
|
attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
|
|
it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
|
|
can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
|
|
appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
|
|
Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
|
|
If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
|
|
a Linux host by
|
|
# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
|
|
else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
|
|
variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
|
|
might be defined in YourBoardName.h
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
|
|
Define this to build a UDC device
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USB_TTY
|
|
Define this to have a tty type of device available to
|
|
talk to the UDC device
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USBD_HS
|
|
Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
|
|
device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
|
|
int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
|
|
also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
|
|
whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
|
|
speed.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
|
|
Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
|
|
be set to usbtty.
|
|
|
|
If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
|
|
define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
|
|
or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
|
|
CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
|
|
CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
|
|
should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
|
|
Define this string as the name of your company for
|
|
- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
|
|
Define this string as the name of your product
|
|
- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
|
|
Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
|
|
Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
|
|
to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
|
|
- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
|
|
Define this as the unique Product ID
|
|
for your device
|
|
- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
|
|
|
|
- ULPI Layer Support:
|
|
The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
|
|
the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
|
|
via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
|
|
the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
|
|
viewport is supported.
|
|
To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
|
|
CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
|
|
If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
|
|
standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
|
|
the appropriate value in Hz.
|
|
|
|
- MMC Support:
|
|
The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
|
|
enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
|
|
accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
|
|
to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
|
|
enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
|
|
the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
|
|
Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
|
|
Define the base address of MMCIF registers
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
|
|
Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
|
|
Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
|
|
|
|
- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
|
|
CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB
|
|
This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DFU_MMC
|
|
This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DFU_NAND
|
|
This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DFU_RAM
|
|
This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
|
|
Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
|
|
allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
|
|
one that would help mostly the developer.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
|
|
Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
|
|
raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
|
|
configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
|
|
through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
|
|
When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
|
|
we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
|
|
the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
|
|
this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
|
|
Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
|
|
|
|
DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
|
|
Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
|
|
host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
|
|
a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
|
|
|
|
DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
|
|
Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
|
|
entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
|
|
sending again an USB request to the device.
|
|
|
|
- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
|
|
CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
|
|
Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
|
|
Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
|
|
|
|
- Keyboard Support:
|
|
See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_KEYBOARD
|
|
|
|
Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
|
|
This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
|
|
defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
|
|
and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
- Video support:
|
|
CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
|
|
Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
|
|
SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
|
|
support, and should also define these other macros:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
|
|
CONFIG_VIDEO
|
|
CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
|
|
CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
|
|
CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
|
|
CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
|
|
CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
|
|
|
|
The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
|
|
variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
|
|
boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
|
|
description of this variable.
|
|
|
|
- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
|
|
|
|
Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
|
|
display); also select one of the supported displays
|
|
by defining one of these:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
|
|
|
|
HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
|
|
|
|
NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
|
|
|
|
NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
|
|
Active, color, single scan.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
|
|
|
|
NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
|
|
Active, color, single scan.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
|
|
|
|
Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
|
|
It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
|
|
|
|
Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
|
|
Active, color, single scan.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HLD1045
|
|
|
|
HLD1045 display, 640x480.
|
|
Active, color, single scan.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
|
|
|
|
Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
|
|
or
|
|
Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
|
|
or
|
|
Hitachi SP14Q002
|
|
|
|
320x240. Black & white.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
|
|
|
|
Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
|
|
defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
|
|
For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
|
|
here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
|
|
a per-section basis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
|
|
mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
|
|
we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
|
|
framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
|
|
printed out.
|
|
Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
|
|
initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
|
|
"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
|
|
The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
|
|
fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
|
|
0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
|
|
1 = 90 degree rotation
|
|
2 = 180 degree rotation
|
|
3 = 270 degree rotation
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
|
|
initialized with 0degree rotation.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
|
|
|
|
Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_I2C_EDID
|
|
|
|
Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
|
|
information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
|
|
|
|
- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
|
|
|
|
If this option is set, the environment is checked for
|
|
a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
|
|
of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
|
|
is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
|
|
specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
|
|
console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
|
|
allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
|
|
loaded very quickly after power-on.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
|
|
|
|
If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
|
|
variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
|
|
(see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
|
|
This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
|
|
restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
|
|
abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
|
|
accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
|
|
there is no need to set this option.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
|
|
|
|
If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
|
|
on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
|
|
position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
|
|
number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
|
|
is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
|
|
specify 'm' for centering the image.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
setenv splashpos m,m
|
|
=> image at center of screen
|
|
|
|
setenv splashpos 30,20
|
|
=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
|
|
|
|
setenv splashpos -10,m
|
|
=> vertically centered image
|
|
at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
|
|
|
|
- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
|
|
|
|
If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
|
|
images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
|
|
splashscreen support or the bmp command.
|
|
|
|
- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
|
|
|
|
If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
|
|
can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
|
|
bmp command.
|
|
|
|
- Compression support:
|
|
CONFIG_GZIP
|
|
|
|
Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BZIP2
|
|
|
|
If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
|
|
images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
|
|
compressed images are supported.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
|
|
the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
|
|
be at least 4MB.
|
|
|
|
- MII/PHY support:
|
|
CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
|
|
|
|
The clock frequency of the MII bus
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
|
|
|
|
Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
|
|
reset before any MII register access is possible.
|
|
For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
|
|
required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
|
|
|
|
Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
|
|
command issued before MII status register can be read
|
|
|
|
- IP address:
|
|
CONFIG_IPADDR
|
|
|
|
Define a default value for the IP address to use for
|
|
the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
|
|
determined through e.g. bootp.
|
|
(Environment variable "ipaddr")
|
|
|
|
- Server IP address:
|
|
CONFIG_SERVERIP
|
|
|
|
Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
|
|
server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
|
|
(Environment variable "serverip")
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
|
|
|
|
Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
|
|
for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
|
|
|
|
- Gateway IP address:
|
|
CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
|
|
|
|
Defines a default value for the IP address of the
|
|
default router where packets to other networks are
|
|
sent to.
|
|
(Environment variable "gatewayip")
|
|
|
|
- Subnet mask:
|
|
CONFIG_NETMASK
|
|
|
|
Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
|
|
routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
|
|
address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
|
|
forwarded through a router.
|
|
(Environment variable "netmask")
|
|
|
|
- Multicast TFTP Mode:
|
|
CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
|
|
|
|
Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
|
|
rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
|
|
tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
|
|
driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
|
|
multicast group.
|
|
|
|
- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
|
|
|
|
If you have many targets in a network that try to
|
|
boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
|
|
systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
|
|
moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
|
|
from a power failure, when all systems will try to
|
|
boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
|
|
inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
|
|
following delays are inserted then:
|
|
|
|
1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
|
|
2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
|
|
3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
|
|
4th and following
|
|
BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
|
|
|
|
BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
|
|
server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
|
|
U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
|
|
an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
|
|
aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
|
|
ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
|
|
respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
|
|
takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
|
|
time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
|
|
to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
|
|
retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
|
|
IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
|
|
cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
|
|
requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
|
|
from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
|
|
|
|
- DHCP Advanced Options:
|
|
You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
|
|
environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
|
|
after the configured retry count, the call will fail
|
|
instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
|
|
to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
|
|
is not available.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
|
|
to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
|
|
need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
|
|
If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
|
|
of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
|
|
option 12 to the DHCP server.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
|
|
|
|
A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
|
|
receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
|
|
This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
|
|
respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
|
|
AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
|
|
to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
|
|
DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
|
|
least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
|
|
that one of the retries will be successful but note that
|
|
the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
|
|
this delay.
|
|
|
|
- Link-local IP address negotiation:
|
|
Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
|
|
for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
|
|
This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
|
|
to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
|
|

|
|
environment variables. This config work on assumption that
|
|
non-usable ethernet node of device-tree are either not present
|
|
or their status has been marked as "disabled".
|
|
|
|

|
|
of the device.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
|
|
|
|

|
|
the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
|
|
eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
|
|
|
|

|
|
0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS
|
|
|
|
Several configurations allow to display the current
|
|
status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
|
|
fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
|
|
soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
|
|
start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
|
|
(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
|
|
kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
|
|
feature in U-Boot.
|
|
|
|
Additional options:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
|
|
The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
|
|
In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
|
|
status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
|
|
to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
|
|
Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
|
|
case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
|
|
GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
|
|
In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
|
|
with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
|
|
|
|
- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
|
|
|
|

|
CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
|
|
based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
|
|
common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
|
|
interface.

|
|
additional defines:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
|
|
Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
|
|
define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
|
|
if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
|
|
omit this define.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
|
|
define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
|
|
on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
|
|
define.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
|
|
hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
|
|
a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
|
|
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
|
|
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
|
|
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
|
|
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
|
|
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
|
|
{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
|
|
{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
|
|
{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
which defines
|
|
bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux

|
|
|
|
If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
|
|
|
|
- Legacy I2C Support:
|
|
If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
|
|
then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
|
|
from include/configs/lwmon.h):
|
|
|
|
I2C_INIT
|
|
|
|
(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
|
|
controller or configure ports.
|
|
|
|
eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
|
|
|
|
I2C_ACTIVE
|
|
|
|
The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
|
|
(driven). If the data line is open collector, this
|
|
define can be null.
|
|
|
|
eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
|
|
|
|
I2C_TRISTATE
|
|
|
|
The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
|
|
(inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
|
|
define can be null.
|
|
|
|
eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
|
|
|
|
I2C_READ
|
|
|
|
Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
|
|
false if it is low.
|
|
|
|
eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
|
|
|
|
I2C_SDA(bit)
|
|
|
|
If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
|
|
is false, it clears it (low).
|
|
|
|
eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
|
|
if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
|
|
else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
|
|
|
|
I2C_SCL(bit)
|
|
|
|
If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
|
|
is false, it clears it (low).
|
|
|
|
eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
|
|
if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
|
|
else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
|
|
|
|
I2C_DELAY
|
|
|
|
This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
|
|
controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
|
|
is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
#define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
|
|
|
|
If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
|
|
then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
|
|
used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
|
|
have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
|
|
the generic GPIO functions.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
|
|
|
|
When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
|
|
chips might think that the current transfer is still
|
|
in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
|
|
the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
|
|
processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
|
|
connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
|
|
custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
|
|
is run early in the boot sequence.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
|
|
|
|
This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
|
|
must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
|
|
active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
|
|
Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
|
|
|
|
This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
|
|
when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
|
|
is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
|
|
a 1D array of device addresses
|
|
|
|
e.g.
|
|
#undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
|
|
#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
|
|
|
|
will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
|
|
|
|
#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
|
|
#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
|
|
|
|
will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
|
|
|
|
If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
|
|
If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
|
|
|
|
If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
|
|
If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
|
|
|
|
defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
|
|
the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
|
|
between writing the address pointer and reading the
|
|
data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
|
|
of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
|
|
devices can use either method, but some require one or
|
|
the other.
|
|
|
|
- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
|
|
|
|
Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
|
|
SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
|
|
D/As on the SACSng board)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
|
|
|
|
Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
|
|
using hardware support. This is a general purpose
|
|
driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
|
|
(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
|
|
defined, the board configuration must define several
|
|
SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
|
|
an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_HARD_SPI
|
|
|
|
Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
|
|
and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
|
|
must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
|
|
Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
|
|
example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
|
|
Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
|
|
default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
|
|
|
|
- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
|
|
|
|
Enables FPGA subsystem.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
|
|
|
|
Enables support for specific chip vendors.
|
|
(ALTERA, XILINX)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
|
|
|
|
Enables support for FPGA family.

|
(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
|
|
|
|
Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
|
|
|
|
Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
|
|
|
|
Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
|
|
status by the configuration function. This option
|
|
will require a board or device specific function to
|
|
be written.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
|
|
|
|
If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
|
|
configuration driver.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
|
|
Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
|
|
|
|
Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
|
|
loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
|
|
configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
|
|
indicated a CRC error).
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
|
|
|
|
Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
|
|
after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
|
|
FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
|
|
ms.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
|
|
|
|
Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
|
|
Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
|
|
200 ms.
|
|
|
|
- Configuration Management:
|
|
CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
|
|
|
|
Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
|
|
with a special header) as build targets. By defining
|
|
CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
|
|
special image will be automatically built upon calling
|
|
make / buildman.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
|
|
|
|
If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
|
|
version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
|
|
|
|
- Vendor Parameter Protection:
|
|
|
|
U-Boot considers the values of the environment
|
|
variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
|
|
"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
|
|
are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
|
|
protects these variables from casual modification by
|
|
the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
|
|
and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
|
|
change this behaviour:
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
|
|
file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
|
|
completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
|
|
these parameters.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
|
|
default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
|
|
Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
|
|
which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
|
|
serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
|
|
read-only.]
|
|
|
|
The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
|
|
for any variable by configuring the type of access
|
|
to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
|
|
or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
|
|
|
|
- Protected RAM:
|
|
CONFIG_PRAM
|
|
|
|
Define this variable to enable the reservation of
|
|
"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
|
|
by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
|
|
kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
|
|
this default value by defining an environment
|
|
variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
|
|
reserve. Note that the board info structure will
|
|
still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
|
|
reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
|
|
automatically be defined to hold the amount of
|
|
remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
|
|
argument to Linux, for instance like that:
|
|
|
|
setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
|
|
saveenv
|
|
|
|
This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
|
|
either, which results in a memory region that will
|
|
not be affected by reboots.
|
|
|
|
*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
|
|
detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
|
|
this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
|
|
following board configurations are known to be
|
|
"pRAM-clean":
|
|
|
|
IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx,
|
|
HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
|
|
FLAGADM
|
|
|
|
- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
|
|
Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
|
|
normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
|
|
support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
|
|
machines using physical address extension or similar.
|
|
Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
|
|
currently only supports clearing the memory.
|
|
|
|
- Error Recovery:
|
|
CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
|
|
|
|
This variable defines the number of retries for
|
|
network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
|
|
before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
|
|
default value of 5 is used.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
|
|
|
|
Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
|
|
|
|
Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
|
|
If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
|
|
try longer timeout such as
|
|
#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
|
|
|
|
- Command Interpreter:
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
|
|
|
|
This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
|
|
printed when the command interpreter needs more input
|
|
to complete a command. Usually "> ".
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
|
|
In the current implementation, the local variables
|
|
space and global environment variables space are
|
|
separated. Local variables are those you define by
|
|
simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
|
|
variable later on, you have write `$name' or
|
|
`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
|
|
directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
|
|
|
|
Global environment variables are those you use
|
|
setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
|
|
in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
|
|
and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
|
|
|
|
To store commands and special characters in a
|
|
variable, please use double quotation marks
|
|
surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
|
|
of the backslashes before semicolons and special
|
|
symbols.
|
|
|
|
- Command Line Editing and History:
|
|
CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
|
|
|
|
Enable support for changing the command prompt string
|
|
at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
|
|
The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
|
|
and PS2.
|
|
|
|
- Default Environment:
|
|
CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
|
|
|
|
Define this to contain any number of null terminated
|
|
strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
|
|
the default environment compiled into the boot image.
|
|
|
|
For example, place something like this in your
|
|
board's config file:
|
|
|
|
#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
|
|
"myvar1=value1\0" \
|
|
"myvar2=value2\0"
|
|
|
|
Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
|
|
internal format how the environment is stored by the
|
|
U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
|
|
interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
|
|
will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
|
|
You better know what you are doing here.
|
|
|
|
Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
|
|
discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
|
|
the environment like the "source" command or the
|
|
boot command first.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
|
|
initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
|
|
that so that the environment is not available until
|
|
explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
|
|
this is instead controlled by the value of
|
|
/config/load-environment.
|
|
|
|
- Serial Flash support
|
|
Usage requires an initial 'sf probe' to define the serial
|
|
flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
The following defaults may be provided by the platform
|
|
to handle the common case when only a single serial
|
|
flash is present on the system.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
|
|
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
|
|
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
|
|
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
|
|
|
|
|
|
- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
|
|
CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
|
|
|
|
If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
|
|
is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
|
|
If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
|
|
number generator is used.
|
|
|
|
Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
|
|
the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
|
|
defined, the normal port 69 is used.
|
|
|
|
The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
|
|
blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
|
|
target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
|
|
"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
|
|
the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
|
|
A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
|
|
but sometimes that is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
- Show boot progress:
|
|
CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
|
|
|
|
Defining this option allows to add some board-
|
|
specific code (calling a user-provided function
|
|
"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
|
|
the system's boot progress on some display (for
|
|
example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
|
|
the following checkpoints are implemented:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
- Standalone program support:
|
|
CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
|
|
|
|
This option defines a board specific value for the
|
|
address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
|
|
overwriting the architecture dependent default
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
- Frame Buffer Address:
|
|
CONFIG_FB_ADDR
|
|
|
|
Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
|
|
address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
|
|
when using a graphics controller has separate video
|
|
memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
|
|
the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
|
|
in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
|
|
the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
|
|
configured panel size.
|
|
|
|
Please see board_init_f function.
|
|
|
|
- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
|
|
CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
|
|
CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
|
|
CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
|
|
|
|
These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
|
|
for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
|
|
|
|
- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
|
|
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
|
|
This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
|
|
erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
|
|
of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
|
|
wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
|
|
counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
|
|
|
|
The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
|
|
other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
|
|
However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
|
|
life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
|
|
to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
|
|
|
|
default: 4096
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
|
|
This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
|
|
expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
|
|
underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
|
|
flash), this value is ignored.
|
|
|
|
NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
|
|
(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
|
|
The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
|
|
then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
|
|
which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
|
|
count of eraseblocks on the chip).
|
|
|
|
To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
|
|
reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
|
|
handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
|
|
NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
|
|
that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
|
|
eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
|
|
size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
|
|
partition.
|
|
|
|
default: 20
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
|
|
Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
|
|
in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
|
|
only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
|
|
The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
|
|
the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
|
|
attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
|
|
a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
|
|
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
|
|
that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
|
|
without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
|
|
fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
|
|
Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
|
|
without a fastmap.
|
|
default: 0
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
|
|
Enable UBI fastmap debug
|
|
default: 0
|
|
|
|
- SPL framework

|
CONFIG_SPL
|
|
Enable building of SPL globally.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT

|
LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
|
|
Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.

|
|
used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.

|
|
must not be both defined at the same time.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
|
|
Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
|
|
linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
|
|
When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
|
|
not exceed it.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
|
|
TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
|
|
Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).

CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
|
|
Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
|
|
Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
|
|
When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
|
|
by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
|
|
must not be both defined at the same time.

|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_STACK
|
|
Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use

|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
|
|
When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
|
|
loaded does not have a signature.
|
|
Defining this is useful when code which loads images
|
|
in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
|
|
will be caught.
|
|
An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
|
|
consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
|
|
and thus should be skipped silently.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
|
|
Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
|
|
relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
|
|
Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
|
|
When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
|
|
it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
|
|
can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
|
|
|

|
|
when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
|
|
Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
|
|
start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
|
|
continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
|
|
loading the first page rather than the full 4K).

|
CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
|
|
Avoid SPL relocation
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE

|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
|
|
Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
|
|
to read U-Boot
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
|
|
Add support NAND boot
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
|
|
Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
|
|
Location in memory to load U-Boot to
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
|
|
Size of image to load
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
|
|
Entry point in loaded image to jump to
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
|
|
Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
|
|
data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
|
|
Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
|
|
Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
|
|
the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
|
|
payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
|
|
Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
|
|
use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
|
|
example if more than one image needs to be produced.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_FIT_PRINT
|
|
Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
|
|
code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
|
|
option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
|
|
bootm command when booting a FIT image.
|
|
|
|
- TPL framework
|
|
CONFIG_TPL
|
|
Enable building of TPL globally.
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
|
|
Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
|
|
the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
|
|
CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
|
|
payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
|
|
|
|
- Interrupt support (PPC):
|
|
|
|
There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
|
|
for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
|
|
for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
|
|
should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
|
|
CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
|
|
(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
|
|
timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
|
|
specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
|
|
/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
|
|
general timer_interrupt().
|
|
|
|
|
|
Board initialization settings:
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
|
|
to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
|
|
before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
|
|
following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
|
|
architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
|
|
typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
|
|
- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
|
|
- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
|
|
- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
|
|
|
|
Configuration Settings:
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
|
|
Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
|
|
undefine this when you're short of memory.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
|
|
width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
|
|
prompt for user input.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
|
|
the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
|
|
booted
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
|
|
List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
|
|
Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
|
|
simple memory test.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
|
|
Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
|
|
You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
|
|
Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
|
|
If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
|
|
is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
|
|
This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
|
|
gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
|
|
the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
|
|
this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
|
|
If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
|
|
this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
|
|
(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
|
|
fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
|
|
the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
|
|
This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
|
|
board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
|
|
recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
|
|
will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
|
|
|
|
This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
|
|
CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
|
|
be touched.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
|
|
the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
|
|
then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
|
|
non page size aligned address and this could cause major
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
|
|
Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
|
|
Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
|
|
Physical start address of Flash memory.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
|
|
Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
|
|
make config files to be same as the text base address
|
|
(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
|
|
Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
|
|
determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
|
|
embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
|
|
flash sector.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
|
|
Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
|
|
Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
|
|
this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
|
|
will become available before relocation. The address is just
|
|
below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
|
|
space.
|
|
|
|
This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
|
|
within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
|
|
is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
|
|
The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
|
|
U-Boot relocates itself.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
|
|
Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
|
|
boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
|
|
enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
|
|
Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
|
|
typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
|
|
uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
|
|
otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
|
|
some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
|
|
cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
|
|
are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
|
|
cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
|
|
if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
|
|
size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
|
|
one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
|
|
written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
|
|
happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
|
|
buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
|
|
16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
|
|
|
|
Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
|
|
Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
|
|
uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
|
|
you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
|
|
to adjust this setting to your needs.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
|
|
Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
|
|
the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
|
|
the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
|
|
used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
|
|
environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
|
|
all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
|
|
and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
|
|
variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
|
|
then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
|
|
Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
|
|
initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
|
|
Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
|
|
"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
|
|
Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
|
|
space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
|
|
Max number of Flash memory banks
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
|
|
Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
|
|
Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
|
|
Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
|
|
Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
|
|
Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
|
|
If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
|
|
instead of U-Boot software protection.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
|
|
|
|
Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
|
|
without this option such a download has to be
|
|
performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
|
|
copy from RAM to flash.
|
|
|
|
The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
|
|
you can check if the download worked before you erase
|
|
the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
|
|
too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
|
|
downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
|
|
Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
|
|
common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
|
|
This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
|
|
in the drivers directory
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
|
|
This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
|
|
in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
|
|
to the MTD layer.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
|
|
Use buffered writes to flash.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
|
|
s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
|
|
write commands.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
|
|
If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
|
|
print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
|
|
is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
|
|
optionally available.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
|
|
If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
|
|
digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
|
|
column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
|
|
If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
|
|
against the source after the write operation. An error message
|
|
will be printed when the contents are not identical.
|
|
Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
|
|
since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
|
|
while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
|
|
this option if you really know what you are doing.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
|
|
Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
|
|
Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
|
|
to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
|
|
buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
|
|
on high Ethernet traffic.
|
|
Defaults to 4 if not defined.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
|
|
|
|
Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
|
|
internally to store the environment settings. The default
|
|
setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
|
|
cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
|
|
lib/hashtable.c for details.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
|
|
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
|
|
Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
|
|
calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
|
|
hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
|
|
the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
|
|
|
|
The format of the list is:
|
|
type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
|
|
access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
|
|
attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
|
|
entry = variable_name[:attributes]
|
|
list = entry[,list]
|
|
|
|
The type attributes are:
|
|
s - String (default)
|
|
d - Decimal
|
|
x - Hexadecimal
|
|
b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
|
|
i - IP address
|
|
m - MAC address
|
|
|
|
The access attributes are:
|
|
a - Any (default)
|
|
r - Read-only
|
|
o - Write-once
|
|
c - Change-default
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
|
|
Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
|
|
environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
|
|
Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
|
|
should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
|
|
environment variable. To override a setting in the static
|
|
list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
|
|
".flags" variable.
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
|
|
regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
|
|
flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
|
|
If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
|
|
access flags.
|
|
|
|
The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
|
|
of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
|
|
following configurations:
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
|
|
|
|
Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
|
|
may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
|
|
|
|
BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
|
|
in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
|
|
console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
|
|
U-Boot will hang.
|
|
|
|
Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
|
|
environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
|
|
keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
|
|
to save the current settings.
|
|
|
|
BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
|
|
"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
|
|
environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
|
|
but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
|
|
|
|
Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
|
|
environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
|
|
CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
|
|
has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
|
|
created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f()
|
|
until then to read environment variables.
|
|
|
|
The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
|
|
is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
|
|
with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
|
|
necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
|
|
"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
|
|
have any device yet where we could complain.]
|
|
|
|
Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
|
|
the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
|
|
use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
|
|
Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
|
|
|
|
Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
|
|
also needs to be defined.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
|
|
MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
|
|
Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
|
|
and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
|
|
drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
|
|
space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
|
|
limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
|
|
Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
|
|
when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
|
|
to do this.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
|
|
Similar to the previous option, but display this information
|
|
later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
|
|
present.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
|
|
Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
|
|
build system checks that the actual size does not
|
|
exceed it.
|
|
|
|
Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
|
|
Cache Line Size of the CPU.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
|
|
Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
|
|
PowerPC SOCs.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
|
|
Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
|
|
the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
|
|
Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
|
|
physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
|
|
be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
|
|
same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
|
|
is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
|
|
that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
|
|
|
|
#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
|
|
* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
|
|
Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
|
|
either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
|
|
used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
|
|
integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
|
|
Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
|
|
used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
|
|
integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
|
|
If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
|
|
forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
|
|
|
|
- Floppy Disk Support:
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
|
|
|
|
the default drive number (default value 0)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
|
|
|
|
defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
|
|
(default value 1)
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
|
|
|
|
defines the offset of register from address. It
|
|
depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
|
|
the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
|
|
default value.
|
|
|
|
if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
|
|
fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
|
|
setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
|
|
source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
|
|
initializations.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
|
|
Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
|
|
interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
|
|
When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
|
|
IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
|
|
registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
|
|
is required.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
|
|
DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
|
|
doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx systems only]
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
|
|
|
|
Start address of memory area that can be used for
|
|
initial data and stack; please note that this must be
|
|
writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
|
|
initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
|
|
will become available only after programming the
|
|
memory controller and running certain initialization
|
|
sequences.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot uses the following memory types:
|
|
- MPC8xx: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
|
|
|
|
Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
|
|
area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
|
|
data is located at the end of the available space
|
|
(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
|
|
GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
|
|
below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
|
|
cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
|
|
point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
|
|
the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27)

|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA:
|
|
periodic timer for refresh
|
|
|
|
- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM,
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP,
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM,
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM:

|
CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM,
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
|
|
Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
|
|
Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
|
|
Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
|
|
something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
|
|
a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
|
|
by coreboot or similar.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
|
|
Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
|
|
Chip has SRIO or not
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SRIO1:
|
|
Board has SRIO 1 port available
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SRIO2:
|
|
Board has SRIO 2 port available
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
|
|
Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:

|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
|
|
Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
|
|
a 16 bit bus.
|
|
Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
|
|
Example of drivers that use it:
|
|
- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
|
|
- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
|
|
Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
|
|
a default value will be used.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
|
|
Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
|
|
with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
|
|
|
|
SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
|
|
I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
|
|
If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
|
|
one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
|
|
to something your driver can deal with.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
|
|
Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
|
|
soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
|
|
parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
|
|
header files or board specific files.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
|
|
Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.

|
|
Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
|
|
Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
|
|
be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_RMII
|
|
Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
|
|
Note that this is a global option, we can't
|
|
have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
|
|
Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
|
|
The syntax is:
|
|
|
|
=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
|
|
|
|
Where address/count indicate a memory area
|
|
and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
|
|
area should have.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_LOOPW
|
|
Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
|
|
the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
|
|
Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
|
|
"md/mw" commands.
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
=> mdc.b 10 4 500
|
|
This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
|
|
|
|
=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
|
|
This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
|
|
|
|
This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
|
|
globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
|
|
[ARM, NDS32, MIPS, RISC-V only] If this variable is defined, then certain
|
|
low level initializations (like setting up the memory
|
|
controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
|
|
relocate itself into RAM.
|
|
|
|
Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
|
|
exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
|
|
other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
|
|
these initializations itself.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
|
|
[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
|
|
to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
|
|
instruction cache) is still performed.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
|
|
Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
|
|
that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
|
|
compiling a NAND SPL.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
|
|
Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
|
|
that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
|
|
It is loaded by the SPL.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
|
|
Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
|
|
.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
|
|
previous 4k of the .text section.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
|
|
Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
|
|
effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
|
|
U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
|
|
to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
|
|
it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
|
|
addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
|
|
to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
|
|
If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
|
|
needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
|
|
Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
|
|
driver that uses this:
|
|
drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
|
|
|
|
Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
|
|
loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
|
|
This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
|
|
are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
|
|
within that device.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
|
|
The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
|
|
meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
|
|
is also specified.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
|
|
The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
|
|
meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
|
|
is also specified.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
|
|
The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
|
|
has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
|
|
might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
|
|
local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
|
|
Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
|
|
normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
|
|
virtual address in NOR flash.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
|
|
Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
|
|
Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
|
|
device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
|
|
Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
|
|
memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
|
|
can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
|
|
window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
|
|
master's memory space.
|
|
|
|
Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
|
|
"firmware".
|
|
This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
|
|
are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
|
|
within that device.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
|
|
Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
|
|
|
|
Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
|
|
"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
|
|
This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
|
|
Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
|
|
|
|
Reproducible builds
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
|
|
process have to be set to a fixed value.
|
|
|
|
This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
|
|
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
|
|
option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
|
|
|
|
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
|
|
|
|
Building the Software:
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
|
|
and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
|
|
all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
|
|
(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
|
|
recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
|
|
which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
|
|
|
|
If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
|
|
have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
|
|
you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
|
|
Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
|
|
necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
|
|
|
|
$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
|
|
$ export CROSS_COMPILE
|
|
|
|
Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
|
|
the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
|
|
(http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
|
|
toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
|
|
|
|
$ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
|
|
|
|
Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
|
|
be executed on computers running Windows.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
|
|
sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
|
|
is done by typing:
|
|
|
|
make NAME_defconfig
|
|
|
|
where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
|
|
rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
|
|
|
|
Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
|
|
additional information is available from the board vendor; for
|
|
instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
|
|
or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
|
|
when choosing the configuration, i. e.
|
|
|
|
make TQM823L_defconfig
|
|
- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
|
|
|
|
make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
|
|
- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
|
|
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
|
|
images ready for download to / installation on your system:
|
|
|
|
- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
|
|
- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
|
|
- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
|
|
|
|
By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
|
|
in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
|
|
this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
|
|
|
|
1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
|
|
|
|
make O=/tmp/build distclean
|
|
make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
|
|
make O=/tmp/build all
|
|
|
|
2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
|
|
|
|
export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
|
|
make distclean
|
|
make NAME_defconfig
|
|
make all
|
|
|
|
Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
|
|
setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
|
|
For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
|
|
|
|
make KCFLAGS=-Werror
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
|
|
for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
|
|
native "make".
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
|
|
to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
|
|
steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
|
|
files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
|
|
the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
|
|
2. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
|
|
your board.
|
|
3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
|
|
directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
|
|
4. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
|
|
5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
|
|
to be installed on your target system.
|
|
6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
|
|
[Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
|
|
==============================================================
|
|
|
|
If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
|
|
or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
|
|
provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
|
|
the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
|
|
official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
|
|
|
|
But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
|
|
cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
|
|
the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
|
|
just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
|
|
configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
|
|
will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
|
|
for documentation.

Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
TODO.
|
|
|
|
For now: just type "help <command>".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Environment Variables:
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
|
|
can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
|
|
|
|
Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
|
|
"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
|
|
without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
|
|
environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
|
|
working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
|
|
environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
|
|
|
|
Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
|
|
|
|
List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
|
|
|
|
baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
|
|
|
|
bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
|
|
|
|
bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
|
|
|
|
bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
|
|
|
|
bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
|
|
|
|
bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
|
|
command can be restricted. This variable is given as
|
|
a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
|
|
for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
|
|
environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
|
|
also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
|
|
kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
|
|
bootm_mapsize.
|
|
|
|
bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
|
|
This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
|
|
defines the size of the memory region starting at base
|
|
address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
|
|
during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
|
|
as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
|
|
used otherwise.
|
|
|
|
bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
|
|
command can be restricted. This variable is given as
|
|
a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
|
|
allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
|
|
by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
|
|
documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
|
|
|
|
autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
|
|
"bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
|
|
configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
|
|
load any image using TFTP
|
|
|
|
autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
|
|
"rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
|
|
be automatically started (by internally calling
|
|
"bootm")
|
|
|
|
If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
|
|
"bootm" command will be copied to the load address
|
|
(and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
|
|
This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
|
|
flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
|
|
For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
|
|
at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
|
|
only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
|
|
may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
|
|
device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
|
|
of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
|
|
access it during the boot procedure.
|
|
|
|
If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
|
|
the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
|
|
to work it must reside in writable memory, have
|
|
sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
|
|
add the information it needs into it, and the memory
|
|
must be accessible by the kernel.
|
|
|
|
fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
|
|
device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
|
|
if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
|
|
mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
|
|
initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
|
|
it must be saved and board must be reset.
|
|
|
|
initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
|
|
If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
|
|
copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
|
|
is usually what you want since it allows for
|
|
maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
|
|
make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
|
|
variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
|
|
Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
|
|
address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
|
|
does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
|
|
|
|
For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
|
|
RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
|
|
you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
|
|
the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
|
|
sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
|
|
12 MB as well - this can be done with
|
|
|
|
setenv initrd_high 00c00000
|
|
|
|
If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
|
|
indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
|
|
for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
|
|
memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
|
|
ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
|
|
boot time on your system, but requires that this
|
|
feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
|
|
|
|
loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
|
|
"rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
|
|
|
|
loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
|
|
|
|
serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
|
|
|
|
bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
|
|
|
|
bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
|
|
|
|
bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
|
|
|
|
ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
|
|
|
|
ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
|
|
For example you can do the following
|
|
|
|
=> setenv ethact FEC
|
|
=> ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
|
|
=> setenv ethact SCC
|
|
=> ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
|
|
|
|
ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
|
|
available network interfaces.
|
|
It just stays at the currently selected interface.
|
|
|
|
netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
|
|
either succeed or fail without retrying.
|
|
When set to "once" the network operation will
|
|
fail when all the available network interfaces
|
|
are tried once without success.
|
|
Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
|
|
themselves.
|
|
|
|
npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
|
|
|
|
silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
|
|
changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
|
|
made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
|
|
unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
|
|
is silent.
|
|
|
|
tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
|
|
UDP source port.
|
|
|
|
tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
|
|
destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
|
|
|
|
tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
|
|
we use the TFTP server's default block size
|
|
|
|
tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
|
|
seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
|
|
when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
|
|
be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
|
|
Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
|
|
faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
|
|
with unreliable TFTP servers.
|
|
|
|
tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
|
|
unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
|
|
can happen during a single file transfer before that
|
|
transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
|
|
'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
|
|
downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
|
|
unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
|
|
|
|
vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
|
|
Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
|
|
VLAN tagged frames.
|
|
|
|
bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
|
|
Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
|
|
be either the default (28000), or a value based on
|
|
CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
|
|
precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
|
|
|
|
The following image location variables contain the location of images
|
|
used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
|
|
not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
|
|
variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
|
|
server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
|
|
loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
|
|
flash or offset in NAND flash.
|
|
|
|
*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
|
|
boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
|
|
boards use these variables for other purposes.
|
|
|
|
Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location
|
|
----- --------- ----------- --------------
|
|
u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr
|
|
Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr
|
|
device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr
|
|
ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr
|
|
|
|
The following environment variables may be used and automatically
|
|
updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
|
|
depending the information provided by your boot server:
|
|
|
|
bootfile - see above
|
|
dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
|
|
dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
|
|
gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
|
|
hostname - Target hostname
|
|
ipaddr - see above
|
|
netmask - Subnet Mask
|
|
rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
|
|
serverip - see above
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two special Environment Variables:
|
|
|
|
serial# - contains hardware identification information such
|
|
as type string and/or serial number
|
|
ethaddr - Ethernet address
|
|
|
|
These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
|
|
the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
|
|
once they have been set once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Further special Environment Variables:
|
|
|
|
ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
|
|
with the "version" command. This variable is
|
|
readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
|
|
only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Callback functions for environment variables:
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
|
|
when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
|
|
be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
|
|
deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
|
|
effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
|
|
|
|
The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
|
|
U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
|
|
|
|
These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
|
|
static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
|
|
in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
|
|
associations. The list must be in the following format:
|
|
|
|
entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
|
|
list = entry[,list]
|
|
|
|
If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
|
|
Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
|
|
|
|
Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
|
|
with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
|
|
override any association in the static list. You can define
|
|
CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
|
|
".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
|
|
regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
|
|
the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
|
|
|
|
The signature of the callback functions is:
|
|
|
|
int callback(const char *name, const char *value, enum env_op op, int flags)
|
|
|
|
* name - changed environment variable
|
|
* value - new value of the environment variable
|
|
* op - operation (create, overwrite, or delete)
|
|
* flags - attributes of the environment variable change, see flags H_* in
|
|
include/search.h
|
|
|
|
The return value is 0 if the variable change is accepted and 1 otherwise.

There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
|
|
the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
|
|
|
|
Old, simple command line parser:
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
|
|
- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
|
|
- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
|
|
- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
|
|
for example:
|
|
setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
|
|
- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
|
|
setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
|
|
|
|
Hush shell:
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
|
|
if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
|
|
until...do...done, ...
|
|
- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
|
|
commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
|
|
"name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
|
|
command
|
|
|
|
General rules:
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
|
|
command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
|
|
one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
|
|
executed anyway.
|
|
|
|
(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
|
|
calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
|
|
command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
|
|
variables are not executed.
|
|
|
|
Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
|
|
such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
|
|
"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
|
|
|
|
Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
|
|
MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
|
|
"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
|
|
|
|
If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
|
|
in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
|
|
ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
|
|
variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
|
|
|
|
o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
|
|
environment, the SROM's address is used.
|
|
|
|
o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
|
|
environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
|
|
both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
|
|
|
|
o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
|
|
addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
|
|
warning is printed.
|
|
|
|
o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
|
|
is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
|
|
a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
|
|
|
|
If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
|
|
will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
|
|
may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
|
|
The naming convention is as follows:
|
|
"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
|
|
|
|
Image Formats:
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
|
|
images in two formats:
|
|
|
|
New uImage format (FIT)
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
|
|
to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
|
|
components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
|
|
SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Old uImage format
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
|
|
preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
|
|
details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
|
|
|
|
* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
|
|
4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
|
|
LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
|
|
Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
|
|
INTEGRITY).
|
|
* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86,
|
|
IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
|
|
Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
|
|
* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
|
|
* Load Address
|
|
* Entry Point
|
|
* Image Name
|
|
* Image Timestamp
|
|
|
|
The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
|
|
and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
|
|
CRC32 checksums.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux Support:
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
|
|
easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
|
|
U-Boot.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
|
|
special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
|
|
"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
|
|
instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
|
|
serves several purposes:
|
|
|
|
- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
|
|
applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
|
|
Flash memory footprint)
|
|
|
|
- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
|
|
lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
|
|
|
|
- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
|
|
images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
|
|
be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
|
|
have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
|
|
change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
|
|
software is easier now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux HOWTO:
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
|
|
configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
|
|
(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
|
|
Linux :-).
|
|
|
|
But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
|
|
|
|
Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
|
|
include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
|
|
Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
|
|
and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
|
|
as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
|
|
|
|
Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
|
|
If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
|
|
is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
|
|
doc/driver-model.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring the Linux kernel:
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
|
|
device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building a Linux Image:
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
|
|
not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
|
|
"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
|
|
U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
|
|
which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
|
|
100% compatible format.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
make TQM850L_defconfig
|
|
make oldconfig
|
|
make dep
|
|
make uImage
|
|
|
|
The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
|
|
encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
|
|
CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
|
|
|
|
* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
|
|
|
|
* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
|
|
|
|
${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
|
|
-R .note -R .comment \
|
|
-S vmlinux linux.bin
|
|
|
|
* compress the binary image:
|
|
|
|
gzip -9 linux.bin
|
|
|
|
* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
|
|
|
|
mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
|
|
-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
|
|
-d linux.bin.gz uImage
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
|
|
with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
|
|
combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
|
|
byte header containing information about target architecture,
|
|
operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
|
|
stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
|
|
|
|
"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
|
|
print the header information, or to build new images.
|
|
|
|
In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
|
|
contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
|
|
checksum verification:
|
|
|
|
tools/mkimage -l image
|
|
-l ==> list image header information
|
|
|
|
The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
|
|
from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
|
|
|
|
tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
|
|
-n name -d data_file image
|
|
-A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
|
|
-O ==> set operating system to 'os'
|
|
-T ==> set image type to 'type'
|
|
-C ==> set compression type 'comp'
|
|
-a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
|
|
-e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
|
|
-n ==> set image name to 'name'
|
|
-d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
|
|
|
|
Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
|
|
address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
|
|
kernel version:
|
|
|
|
- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
|
|
- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
|
|
|
|
So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
|
|
|
|
-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
|
|
> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
|
|
> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
|
|
> examples/uImage.TQM850L
|
|

|
|

|
|
Load Address: 0x00000000
|
|
Entry Point: 0x00000000
|
|
|
|
To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
|
|
|
|
-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
|
|
Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
|
|

|
|

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

|
|
Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
|
|

|
|
Load Address: 0x00000000
|
|
Entry Point: 0x00000000
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
|
|
when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
|
|
|
|
-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
|
|
> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
|
|
> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
|
|
Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image
|
|
Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
|
|
Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
|
|
Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
|
|
Load Address: 0x00000000
|
|
Entry Point: 0x00000000
|
|
|
|
The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
|
|
option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
|
|
option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
|
|
from the image:
|
|
|
|
tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
|
|
-i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
|
|
-T ==> set image type to 'type'
|
|
-p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing a Linux Image:
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
|
|
you must convert the image to S-Record format:
|
|
|
|
objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
|
|
|
|
The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
|
|
image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
|
|
address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
|
|
specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
|
|
TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
|
|
|
|
=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
|
|
|
|
.......... done
|
|
Erased 8 sectors
|
|
|
|
=> loads 40100000
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
|
|
this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
|
|
corruption happened:
|
|
|
|
=> imi 40100000

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

More About U-Boot Image Types:
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot supports the following image types:
|
|
|
|
"Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
|
|
provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
|
|
well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
|
|
the Standalone Program.
|
|
"OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
|
|
will take over control completely. Usually these programs
|
|
will install their own set of exception handlers, device
|
|
drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
|
|
expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
|
|
"RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
|
|
parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
|
|
being started.
|
|
"Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
|
|
(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
|
|
RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
|
|
to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
|
|
server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
|
|
for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
|
|
|
|
"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
|
|
image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
|
|
byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
|
|
Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
|
|
one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
|
|
a multiple of 4 bytes).
|
|
|
|
"Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
|
|
U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
|
|
flash memory.
|
|
|
|
"Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
|
|
U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
|
|
useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
|
|
as command interpreter.
|
|
|
|
Booting the Linux zImage:
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
|
|
using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
|
|
as the syntax of "bootm" command.
|
|
|
|
Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
|
|
kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
|
|
address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
|
|
format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Standalone HOWTO:
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
|
|
run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
|
|
U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
|
|
|
|
Two simple examples are included with the sources:
|
|
|
|
"Hello World" Demo:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
|
|
application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
|
|
It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
|
|
like that:
|
|
|
|
=> loads
|
|
## Ready for S-Record download ...
|
|
~>examples/hello_world.srec
|
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
|
|

|
|

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

Minicom warning:
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
|
|
"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
|
|
consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
|
|
Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
|
|
especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
|
|
use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See
|
|
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
|
|
for help with kermit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
|
|
configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
|
|
|
|
Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
|
|
X kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s Y U Y N N
|
|
Y kermit /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r N D Y N N

NetBSD Notes:
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
|
|
(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
|
|
|
|
Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
|
|
NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
|
|
need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
|
|
Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
|
|
attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
|
|
missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
|
|
# mkdir powerpc
|
|
# ln -s powerpc machine
|
|
# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
|
|
# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
|
|
|
|
Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
|
|
and U-Boot include files.
|
|
|
|
Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
|
|
stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
|
|
proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
|
|
tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
|
|
meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implementation Internals:
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
|
|
implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
|
|
inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
|
|
hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Initial Stack, Global Data:
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
|
|
starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
|
|
system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
|
|
This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
|
|
is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
|
|
at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
|
|
options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
|
|
models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
|
|
MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
|
|
locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
|
|
|
|
Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
|
|
U-Boot mailing list:

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

It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
|
|
code for the initialization procedures:
|
|
|
|
* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
|
|
to write it.
|
|
|
|
* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
|
|
as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
|
|
zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
|
|
|
|
* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
|
|
normal global data to share information between the code. But it
|
|
turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
|
|
simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
|
|
functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
|
|
functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
|
|
the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
|
|
place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
|
|
reserve for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
|
|
relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
|
|
GCC's implementation.
|
|
|
|
For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
|
|
R1: stack pointer
|
|
R2: reserved for system use
|
|
R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
|
|
R5-R10: parameter passing
|
|
R13: small data area pointer
|
|
R30: GOT pointer
|
|
R31: frame pointer
|
|
|
|
(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
|
|
is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
|
|
going back and forth between asm and C)
|
|
|
|
==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
|
|
|
|
Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
|
|
address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
|
|
but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
|
|
smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
|
|
average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
|
|
624 text + 127 data).
|
|
|
|
On ARM, the following registers are used:
|
|
|
|
R0: function argument word/integer result
|
|
R1-R3: function argument word
|
|
R9: platform specific
|
|
R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
|
|
R11: argument (frame) pointer
|
|
R12: temporary workspace
|
|
R13: stack pointer
|
|
R14: link register
|
|
R15: program counter
|
|
|
|
==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
|
|
|
|
Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
|
|
|
|
On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
|
|
http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
|
|
|
|
==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
|
|
|
|
Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
|
|
to access small data sections, so gp is free.
|
|
|
|
On NDS32, the following registers are used:
|
|
|
|
R0-R1: argument/return
|
|
R2-R5: argument
|
|
R15: temporary register for assembler
|
|
R16: trampoline register
|
|
R28: frame pointer (FP)
|
|
R29: global pointer (GP)
|
|
R30: link register (LP)
|
|
R31: stack pointer (SP)
|
|
PC: program counter (PC)
|
|
|
|
==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
|
|
|
|
NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
|
|
or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
|
|
|
|
On RISC-V, the following registers are used:
|
|
|
|
x0: hard-wired zero (zero)
|
|
x1: return address (ra)
|
|
x2: stack pointer (sp)
|
|
x3: global pointer (gp)
|
|
x4: thread pointer (tp)
|
|
x5: link register (t0)
|
|
x8: frame pointer (fp)
|
|
x10-x11: arguments/return values (a0-1)
|
|
x12-x17: arguments (a2-7)
|
|
x28-31: temporaries (t3-6)
|
|
pc: program counter (pc)
|
|
|
|
==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
|
|
|
|
Memory Management:
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
|
|
MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
|
|
|
|
The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
|
|
controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
|
|
memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
|
|
physical memory banks.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
|
|
TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
|
|
booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
|
|
to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
|
|
memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
|
|
configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
|
|
Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
|
|
of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
|
|
|
|
So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
|
|
:
|
|
0x0000 1FFF
|
|
0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
|
|
:
|
|
:
|
|
|
|
:
|
|
:
|
|
0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
|
|
0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
|
|
0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
|
|
:
|
|
0x00FD FFFF
|
|
0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
|
|
... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
|
|
... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
|
|
0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
|
|
|
|
|
|
System Initialization:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
|
|
(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
|
|
configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
|
|
To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
|
|
To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
|
|
initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
|
|
which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
|
|
cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
|
|
the SIU.
|
|
|
|
Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
|
|
preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
|
|
(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
|
|
on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
|
|
programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
|
|
simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
|
|
banks.
|
|
|
|
When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
|
|
different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
|
|
bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
|
|
0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
|
|
contiguous memory starting from 0.
|
|
|
|
Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
|
|
and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
|
|
Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
|
|
pages, and the final stack is set up.
|
|
|
|
Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
|
|
until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
|
|
running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
|
|
new address in RAM.

Coding Standards:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
|
|
coding style; see the kernel coding style guide at
|
|
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html, and the
|
|
script "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
|
|
|
|
Source files originating from a different project (for example the
|
|
MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
|
|
reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
|
|
sources.
|
|
|
|
Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
|
|
Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
|
|
in your code.
|
|
|
|
Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
|
|
- remove any trailing white space
|
|
- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
|
|
- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
|
|
- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
|
|
- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
|
|
|
|
Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
|
|
with a request to reformat the changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Submitting Patches:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
|
|
establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
|
|
may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
|
|
|
|
Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
|
|
|
|
Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
|
|
see https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
|
|
|
|
When you send a patch, please include the following information with
|
|
it:
|
|
|
|
* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
|
|
this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
|
|
patch actually fixes something.
|
|
|
|
* For new features: a description of the feature and your
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
|
|
|
|
* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
|
|
information and associated file and directory references.
|
|
|
|
* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
|
|
maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
|
|
|
|
* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
|
|
document these in the README file.
|
|
|
|
* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
|
|
recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
|
|
"git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
|
|
the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
|
|
with some other mail clients.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
|
|
diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
|
|
GNU diff.
|
|
|
|
The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
|
|
directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
|
|
your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
|
|
affected files).
|
|
|
|
We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
|
|
and compressed attachments must not be used.
|
|
|
|
* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
|
|
files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
|
|
|
|
* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
|
|
submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
|
|
source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
|
|
for any of the boards.
|
|
|
|
* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
|
|
containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
|
|
returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
|
|
|
|
* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
|
|
add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
|
|
When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
|
|
(using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
|
|
disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
|
|
modification.
|
|
|
|
* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
|
|
u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
|
|
reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
|
|
bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
