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.
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 and CREDITS files to find out who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board maintainers.
In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at u-boot@lists.denx.de. There is also an archive of previous traffic on the mailing list - please search the archive before asking FAQ's. Please see http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot and http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot
The U-Boot source code is maintained in the git repository at git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git ; you can browse it online at http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
The "snapshot" links on this page allow you to download tarballs of any version you might be interested in. Official releases are also available for FTP download from the ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ directory.
Pre-built (and tested) images are available from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/images/
The "official" name of this project is "Das U-Boot". The spelling "U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments in source files etc.). Example:
This is the README file for the U-Boot project.File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples:
include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h
#include <asm/u-boot.h>Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example:
U_BOOT_VERSION u_boot_logo
IH_OS_U_BOOT u_boot_hush_startStarting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases were changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning 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.

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 "CONFIGSYS".
Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards as an example here.
For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
configurations available; just type "make
Example: For a TQM823L module type:
cd u-boot
make TQM823L_configFor the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
such information is kept in a configuration file
"include/configs/
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.
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.
CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) Define exactly one of CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD --- FIXME --- not tested yet: CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) Define exactly one of CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) Define one or more of CONFIG_CMA302
Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) Define one or more of CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on the LCD display every second with a "rotator" |-/|-/
Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) CONFIG_ADSTYPE Possible values are: CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS
Marvell Family Member CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable multiple fs option at one time for marvell soc family
MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) Define exactly one of CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if get_gclk_freq() cannot work e.g. if there is no 32KHz reference PIT/RTC clock CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK or XTAL/EXTAL)
859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT See doc/README.MPC866
CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
of relying on the correctness of the configured
values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
Define this option if you want to enable the
ICache only when Code runs from RAM.85xx CPU Options: 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.Intel Monahans options: CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
by this value.MIPS CPU options: CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
relocation.
CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
Possible values are:
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
CONF_CM_UNCACHED
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
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.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_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
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_BOOT_CPU
This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
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: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
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_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
this variable to initialize the extra register.
CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
variable to flush the UART at init time.Console Interface: Depending on board, define exactly one serial port (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
port routines must be defined elsewhere
(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
(default big endian)
VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
rectangle fill
(cf. smiLynxEM)
VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
(cols=pitch)
VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
(i.e. i8042_tstc)
VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
(i.e. i8042_getc)
CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
(requires blink timer
cf. i8042.c)
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
upper right corner
(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
upper left corner
CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
linux_logo.h for logo.
Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
additional board info beside
the logo
When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
environment 'console=serial'.
When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
the "silent" environment variable. See
doc/README.silent for more information.Console Baudrate: CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps Select one of the baudrates listed in CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
Console Rx buffer length With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for the SMC.
Pre-Console Buffer: Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to buffer any console messages prior to the console being initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ bytes are output before the console is initialised, the earlier bytes are discarded.
'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2Pre-console putc(): Prior to the console being initialised, console output is normally silently discarded. This can be annoying if a panic() happens in this time.
If the CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_PUTC option is defined, then
U-Boot will call board_pre_console_putc() for each output
character in this case, This function should try to output
the character if possible, perhaps on all available UARTs
(it will need to do this directly, since the console code
is not functional yet). Note that if the panic happens
early enough, then it is possible that board_init_f()
(or even arch_cpu_init() on ARM) has not been called yet.
You should init all clocks, GPIOs, etc. that are needed
to get the character out. Baud rates will need to default
to something sensible.Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds Delay before automatically booting the default image; set to -1 to disable autoboot.
See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRYAutoboot 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_BOOTARGS
This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
environment value "bootargs".
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 systemsSerial 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.
Monitor Functions: Monitor commands can be included or excluded from the build by using the #include files "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h" and augmenting with additional #define's for wanted commands.

EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
support you can write:
#include "config_cmd_all.h"
#undef CONFIG_CMD_NETOther Commands: fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an initial stack and some data.
XXX - this list needs to get updated!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 two 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->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.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 and 8260 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.U-Boot Version: CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE If this variable is defined, an environment variable named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot version as printed by the "version" command. This variable is readonly.
Real-Time Clock:
When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the

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.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 Support: CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION
If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or

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: At the moment only there is only support for the SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
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_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
control registers. This behavior won't affect the
correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.

Note: Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives (TEAC FD-05PUB). MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: CONFIG_USB_CLOCK for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb CONFIG_PSC3_USB for USB on PSC3 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG for differential drivers: 0x00001000 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL May be defined to allow interrupt polling instead of using asynchronous interrupts
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
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

- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
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"

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 0xFFFFULPI 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.
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_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
have not defined a custom partitionFAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: CONFIG_FAT_WRITE Support for saving memory data as a file in FAT formatted partition
Keyboard Support: CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
support
CONFIG_I8042_KBD
Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.Video support: CONFIG_VIDEO
Define this to enable video support (for output to
video).
CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
assumed.
For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
are possible:
- "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024

16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A
24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
-------------+---------------------------------------------
(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
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_CMD_BMP
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 README.video for a
description of this variable.Keyboard Support: 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.
The only board using this so far is RBC823.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.
Normally display is black on white background; define
CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.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_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 - 9Gzip 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_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.
CONFIG_LZMA
If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
images is included.
Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
formula:
(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
and Literal pos bits.
This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
a very small buffer.
Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).MII/PHY support: CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
The address of PHY on MII bus.
CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
The clock frequency of the MII bus
CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
detection of gigabit PHY is included.
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 readEthernet address: CONFIG_ETHADDR CONFIG_ETH1ADDR CONFIG_ETH2ADDR CONFIG_ETH3ADDR CONFIG_ETH4ADDR CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
is not determined automatically.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 secDHCP Advanced Options: You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining CONFIGBOOTP* symbols:
CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
serverip will be stored in the additional environment
variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
is defined.
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.CDP Options: CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address of the device.
CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
A printf format string which contains the ascii name of the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
An ascii string containing the version of the software.
CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the device in .1 of milliwatts.
CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
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_STATUS_LED enables this
feature in U-Boot.CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
on those systems that support this (optional)
feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
command line interface.
CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
support for I2C.
There are several other quantities that must also be
defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
the CPU's i2c node address).
Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
chips might think that the current transfer is still
in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
commands until the slave device responds.
That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
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_PORT
(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
are 0..3 for ports A..D.
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_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
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_MULTI_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_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
specified DTT device.
CONFIG_FSL_I2C
Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
CONFIG_I2C_MUX
Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
the muxes to activate this new "bus".
CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
feature!
Example:
Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
=> i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
of I2C Busses with muxes:
=> i2c bus
Busses reached over muxes:
Bus ID: 2
reached over Mux(es):
pca9544a@70 ch: 4
Bus ID: 3
reached over Mux(es):
pca9544a@70 ch: 6
pca9544a@71 ch: 4
=>
If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
the channel 4.
After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
the 2 muxes.
This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
to add this option to other architectures.
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_SH_SPI
Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
only SH7757 is supported.
CONFIG_SPI_X
Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
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_MXC_SPI
Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.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 deassert
after PROB_B has been deasserted 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 deassert 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_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_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
_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.]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":
ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
FLAGADM, TQM8260Error Recovery: CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
system where you want the system to reboot
automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
useful during development since you can try to debug
the conditions that lead to the situation.
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.Command Interpreter: CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
for the "hush" shell.
CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
powerful command line syntax like
if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
constructs ("shell scripts").
If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
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.Commandline Editing and History: CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
Enable editing and History functions for interactive
commandline input operationsDefault 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.DataFlash Support: CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
commands cp, md...SystemACE Support: CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
of the chip must also be defined in the
CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.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:Legacy uImage format:

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.
Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to
defined address instead of lcd_setmem (this function
grabs the memory for frame buffer by panel's 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_DEVICE
Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
Needed for mtdparts command support.
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
kernel. Needed for UBI support.SPL framework CONFIG_SPL Enable building of SPL globally.
CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT
Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary
CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT
Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary
CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT

Modem support enable: CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
RTS/CTS Flow control enable: CONFIG_HWFLOW
Modem debug support: CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.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().General:
In the target system modem support is enabled when a
specific key (key combination) is pressed during
power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
initialization.
If there are no modem init strings in the
environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
suppressed, though.
See also: doc/README.ModemDuring 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_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_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET Suppress display of console information at boot.
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV If the board specific function extern int overwrite_console (void); returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE Enable the call to overwrite_console().
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: Begin and End addresses of the area used by the simple memory test.
CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: Enable an alternate, more extensive 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_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 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_TFTP_LOADADDR: Default load address for network file downloads
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_MBIO_BASE: Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a Cogent motherboard)
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_compiletime (!) 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_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" enviroment 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_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_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.
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.
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In such a case you would place the environment in one of the 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap between U-Boot and the environment.
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
Offset of environment data (variable area) to the beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset for this sector is given here.
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
This is just another way to specify the start address of the flash sector containing the environment (instead of CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
Size of the sector containing the environment.
b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for the environment.
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part of this flash sector for the environment. This saves memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: updating the environment in flash makes it always necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in RAM, your target system will be dead.
CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
These settings describe a second storage area used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
source code will make it necessary to adapt
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the environment.
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory can just be read and written to, without any special provision.
BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early in U-Boot initalization (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.
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access device and a driver for it.
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. The default address is zero.
CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example would require six bits.
CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note that this is NOT the chip address length!
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 byte chips.
Note that we consider the length of the address field to still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden in the chip address.
CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this EEPROM. For example:
EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you want to use for the environment.
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These three #defines specify the offset and size of the environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed at the specified address.
CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use for the environment.
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be aligned to an erase block boundary.
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be aligned to an erase block boundary.
CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
Specifies the length of the region in which the environment can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within the range to be avoided.
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
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.
CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
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 getenv_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_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: Cache Line Size of the CPU.
CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
the IMMR register after a reset.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_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.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 dependant
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 requierd.
CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx 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 and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
- MPC824X: data cache
- PPC4xx: data cacheCONFIG_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 -
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_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_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6)
CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9)
CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26)

CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
cpm_8260.h.CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not required.
CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: Chip has SRIO or not
CONFIG_SRIO1: Board has SRIO 1 port available

CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_16 Defined to tell the NDFC that the NAND chip is using a 16 bit bus.
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.
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_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds to the given FEC; i. e.
means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
When set to -1, means to probe for first available.CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). (so program the FEC to ignore it).
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_MEM).
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_MEM).CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT [ARM, NDS32, MIPS 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_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_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST define this, if you want to read first the oob data and then the data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms.
CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will be used if available. These functions may be faster under some conditions but may increase the binary size.
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_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR The address in the storage device where the firmware 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_SPIFLASH Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
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_COMPILENote: 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_configwhere "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- rations; see the main Makefile 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_config
- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
make TQM823L_LCD_config
- 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:
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:
Add O= to the make command line invocations:
make O=/tmp/build distclean make O=/tmp/build NAME_config make O=/tmp/build all
Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build make distclean make NAME_config make all
Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment variable.
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:
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 "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools you can type
CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALLor to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALLWhen using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (
