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:

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

  • 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.
  • 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
    
      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, board/eltec/bab7xx)
          VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN  graphic memory organisation
                      (default big endian)

          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.

  • 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
      except those marked below with a "*".
    
      CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV   * ask for env variable

      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 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
      following options:
    
      CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx   - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
      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
      CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR   - enable trickle charger on
                    RV3029 RTC.
    
      Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
      must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
  • GPIO Support: CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command

      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
      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)
  • NETWORK Support (PCI): CONFIG_E1000 Support for Intel 8254x gigabit chips.

      CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC
      default MAC for empty EEPROM after production.
    
      CONFIG_EEPRO100
      Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips.
      Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM
      write routine for first time initialisation.
    
      CONFIG_TULIP
      Support for Digital 2114x chips.
      Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific
      modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611).
    
      CONFIG_NATSEMI
      Support for National dp83815 chips.

      CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC
      Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC.
    
          CONFIG_RMII
          Define this to use reduced MII inteface
    
          CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET
          If this defined, the driver is quiet.
          The driver doen't show link status messages.
    
      CONFIG_DRIVER_LAN91C96
      Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips.
    
          CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE
          Define this to hold the physical address
          of the LAN91C96's I/O space
    
          CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT
          Define this to enable 32 bit addressing
    
      CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC91111
      Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip
    
          CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE

          of the device (I/O space)
    
          CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT
          Define this if data bus is 32 bits
    
          CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS
          Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros
          (some hardware wont work with macros)
    
      CONFIG_FTGMAC100
      Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet
    
          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.
    
      CONFIG_SMC911X
      Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips
    
          CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE

          of the device (I/O space)
    
          CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT
          Define this if data bus is 32 bits
    
          CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT
          Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor
          automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit
          words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT.
    
      CONFIG_SH_ETHER
      Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller
    
          CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT
          Define the number of ports to be used
    
          CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR
          Define the ETH PHY's address
    
          CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK
          If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush.
  • 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
    
          CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
          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

      -------------+---------------------------------------------
      (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.

      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.
  • 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
