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 and CREDITS files to find out who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board maintainers.

Where to get help:

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 [email protected].

Names and Spelling:

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_start

Versioning:

U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2", sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".

The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

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 "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.

Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:

For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default configurations available; just type "make _config".

Example: For a TQM823L module type:

cd u-boot
make TQM823L_config

For 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 Options:

Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all such information is kept in a configuration file "include/configs/.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.

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

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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, board/eltec/bab7xx)

                    (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.

  • Interrupt driven serial port input: CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO

    PPC405GP only.
    Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
    serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
    (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
    bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
    
    Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
    disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
  • Console UART Number: CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE

    AMCC PPC4xx only.
    If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
    as default U-Boot console.
  • 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_RETRY
  • 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_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 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.

  • 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.

    The default command configuration includes all commands

    EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
    support you can write:
    
    #include "config_cmd_all.h"
    #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

    Other 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!
  • Watchdog: CONFIG_WATCHDOG If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog support. There must be support in the platform specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR register.

  • 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
    following options:

    CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563  - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
    CONFIG_RTC_MC13783  - use MC13783 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_DS164x   - use Dallas DS164x RTC
    CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208  - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
    CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900  - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
    CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
    
    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 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command

    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
    CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
    least one 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
  • ATAPI Support: CONFIG_ATAPI

    Set this to enable ATAPI support.
  • LBA48 Support CONFIG_LBA48

    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: 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_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
    maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
    devices.
    CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

        automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit
        words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT.
  • USB Support: At the moment only the UHCI host controller is supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); 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). 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

    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

        Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
        be set to usbtty.
    
        mpc8xx:
            CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
            Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
            - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
    
            CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
            Derive USB clock from brgclk
            - 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"
    
        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
  • 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.

  • Journaling Flash filesystem support: CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 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
    
    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 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
    -------------+---------------------------------------------
          8 bits |  0x301*  0x303    0x305    0x161     0x307
         15 bits |  0x310   0x313    0x316    0x162     0x319

    -------------+---------------------------------------------
    (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
  • 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 - 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_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 read
  • Ethernet 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.
  • Server IP address: CONFIG_SERVERIP

    Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
    server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
    
    CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
    
    Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
    for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
  • 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.
    
    CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
  • 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
  • DHCP 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 addre
