Summary:
========

27
This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for

28 29 30 31
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
34 35
the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
header files in common, and special provision has been made to

wdenk 已提交
36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49
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
50
Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered

"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

53
In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
54 55
who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
maintainers.

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
254
  "CONFIG_SYS_".

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 <board_name>_config".

Example: For a TQM823L module type:

	cd u-boot
	make TQM823L_config

M
Marcel Ziswiler 已提交
274
For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;

275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289
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/<board_name>.h".

Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
"include/configs/TQM823L.h".


W
wdenk 已提交

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.

W
wdenk 已提交
358 359 360 361 362
		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
363
		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
364

365 366 367 368 369
		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE

		Define this option if you want to enable the
		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.

370
- 85xx CPU Options:
371 372 373 374 375 376
		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64

		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
		compliance, among other possible reasons.

377 378 379 380 381 382
		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.

383 384 385 386 387
		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT

		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
		tree nodes for the given platform.

388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396
		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB

		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
		purpose.

397 398 399 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421
		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510

		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.

		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)

		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.

		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.

		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
		this erratum.

		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY

		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
		according to the A004510 workaround.

422 423 424 425 426 427
- Generic CPU options:
		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN

		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
		values is arch specific.

428
- Intel Monahans options:
429
		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
430 431 432 433 434

		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.

435
		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
W
Wolfgang Denk 已提交
436

437 438
		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
440
		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

		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.

474 475 476 477 478 479
- ARM options:
		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH

		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.

480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487
		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD

		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
		GCC.

		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,

		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

		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.

- 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.

915 916
		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
		be done using one of the two options below:
917 918 919 920 921 922 923

		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.

925 926 927 928 929 930 931 932 933 934 935 936
		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.

		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

		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
1571
		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
		is not available.

1703 1704 1705 1706 1707 1708 1709
		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.

		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY

		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
		this delay.

 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network

- 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

W

W

1821
		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED

1826
		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx

		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
1828 1829 1830

		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin

		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

		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"
M
Michael Jones 已提交
2031 2032
		u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
		channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
2033 2034 2035
		the channel 4.

		After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
M
Michael Jones 已提交
2036
		usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
2037 2038 2039 2040 2041 2042 2043
		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.

2044 2045 2046 2047 2048 2049 2050 2051 2052
		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.

		Define this variable to enable the reservation of

		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

		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
		argument to Linux, for instance like that:

		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.

		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the

		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG

		Define this in order to add variables describing the
		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.

		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:

		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC

2347 2348 2349 2350 2351 2352
		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG

- Serial Flash support
		CONFIG_CMD_SF

		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.

		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
		commands.

		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
		to handle the common case when only a single serial
		flash is present on the system.

		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz

- SystemACE Support:
		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE

		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
M
Marcel Ziswiler 已提交
2384
		of the chip must also be defined in the
2385
		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
W
wdenk 已提交
2386 2387

		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2388
		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
W

2389 2390 2391 2392

		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.

2393 2394 2395
- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT

2396
		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2397
		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2398
		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2399 2400
		number generator is used.

2401 2402 2403 2404 2405
		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
2406 2407 2408 2409 2410 2411 2412
		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.

- Detailed boot stage timing
		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
		of the boot process.

		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
		the limit, recording will stop.

		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:

		Timer summary in microseconds:
		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
			  0          0  reset
		  3,575,678  3,575,678  board_init_f start
		  3,575,695         17  arch_cpu_init A9
		  3,575,777         82  arch_cpu_init done
		  3,659,598     83,821  board_init_r start
		  3,910,375    250,777  main_loop
		 29,916,167 26,005,792  bootm_start

		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
		and un/stashing of bootstage data.

2452 2453 2454 2455 2456 2457 2458 2459 2460 2461 2462 2463 2464 2465 2466 2467 2468 2469 2470 2471 2472
		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
		For example:

		bootstage {
			154 {
				name = "board_init_f";
				mark = <3575678>;
			};
			170 {
				name = "lcd";
				accum = <33482>;
			};
		};

		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

Board initialization settings:
------------------------------

During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()

The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
following configurations:

3095 3096 3097 3098 3099
- 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.

3100
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
W
wdenk 已提交
3101 3102 3103 3104 3105 3106 3107 3108 3109 3110 3111 3112 3113 3114 3115

	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.

3116
	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
W
wdenk 已提交
3117 3118 3119 3120 3121 3122

	   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.

3123
	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
W
wdenk 已提交
3124

3125
	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
W
wdenk 已提交
3126 3127 3128

	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3129
	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
W

	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
W
wdenk 已提交
3132 3133 3134 3135 3136 3137 3138 3139

	   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.

3140
	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
W
wdenk 已提交
3141

3142
	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3143
	   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_IS_IN_NVRAM:
W
wdenk 已提交
3171 3172 3173 3174 3175

	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
	environment.

	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
W
wdenk 已提交
3180 3181 3182 3183 3184 3185
	  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
M

W
wdenk 已提交
3187 3188 3189 3190 3191 3192 3193 3194
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.


3195
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
W
wdenk 已提交
3196 3197 3198 3199

	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
	device and a driver for it.

3200 3201
	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
W
wdenk 已提交
3202 3203 3204 3205

	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.

3206
	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
W
wdenk 已提交
3207 3208 3209
	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
	  The default address is zero.

3210
	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
W
wdenk 已提交
3211 3212 3213 3214
	  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.

3215
	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
W
wdenk 已提交
3216
	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
W

3218

3219
	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
W
wdenk 已提交
3220 3221 3222
	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
	  that this is NOT the chip address length!

3223
	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3224 3225 3226 3227 3228 3229 3230 3231 3232 3233
	  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.

3234
	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
W
wdenk 已提交
3235 3236
	  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:

W
Wolfgang Denk 已提交
3246
	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  "pca9547:70:d\0"
H
Heiko Schocher 已提交

W
wdenk 已提交
3253
	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3254 3255
	want to use for the environment.

3256 3257 3258
	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3259 3260 3261 3262 3263

	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
	  at the specified address.

3264 3265 3266 3267 3268 3269 3270 3271 3272 3273 3274
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:

	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
	want to use for the local device's environment.

	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:

	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3275
	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3276 3277 3278

BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3279 3280
environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3281

3282
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
W

	  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.
3317

3318 3319 3320 3321 3322 3323
- 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.

3324
- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
W
wdenk 已提交
3325 3326 3327 3328 3329 3330 3331 3332 3333

	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.

3334
Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
W
wdenk 已提交
3335
has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3336
created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
W

3337 3338
until then to read environment variables.

W
wdenk 已提交
3339 3340 3341 3342 3343 3344
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.]
W
wdenk 已提交
3345 3346 3347

Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if

		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

Wolfgang Denk 已提交
3393
		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
3394 3395 3396 3397 3398 3399 3400 3401
		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR

		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:

		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
		by coreboot or similar.

Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
-----------------------------------

The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
within that device.

- CONFIG_SYS_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.

3735 3736 3737
- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
3738 3739 3740
	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
	master's memory space.

Building the Software:
======================

3745 3746 3747 3748 3749 3750
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.
W
wdenk 已提交
3751

3752 3753 3754 3755 3756
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:
W
wdenk 已提交
3757

3758 3759
	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
W
wdenk 已提交
3760

3761 3762 3763 3764 3765 3766 3767 3768 3769 3770
Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:

       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools

      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
      be executed on computers running Windows.

3771 3772
U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
W
wdenk 已提交
3773 3774 3775 3776
is done by typing:

	make NAME_config

3777
where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
3778
rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
3779

W
wdenk 已提交
3780 3781 3782 3783
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"
M
Marcel Ziswiler 已提交
3784
      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
W
wdenk 已提交
3785 3786 3787 3788 3789 3790 3791 3792 3793 3794 3795 3796 3797 3798 3799 3800 3801

      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:

- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format

3802 3803 3804 3805 3806 3807 3808 3809 3810 3811 3812 3813 3814 3815 3816 3817 3818 3819 3820 3821
By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:

1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:

	make O=/tmp/build distclean
	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
	make O=/tmp/build all

2. 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.

wdenk 已提交
3822 3823 3824 3825 3826 3827 3828 3829 3830 3831 3832

Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
native "make".


If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
steps:

1.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
3833 3834
    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
W
wdenk 已提交
3835 3836 3837 3838 3839 3840 3841 3842 3843 3844 3845 3846 3847 3848 3849 3850 3851
2.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
3.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
    your board
3.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
4.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
5.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
    to be installed on your target system.
6.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]


Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
==============================================================

3852 3853
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
W
wdenk 已提交
3854 3855
provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
3856
official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
W
wdenk 已提交
3857

3858 3859
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
W
wdenk 已提交
3860 3861
the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
3862 3863 3864 3865
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
W
wdenk 已提交
3866 3867 3868 3869 3870 3871 3872

	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL

or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type

	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL

3873 3874 3875 3876 3877 3878 3879
When 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 (<target>.ERR and
<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
variable. For example:
3880 3881 3882 3883 3884

	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL

3885 3886 3887
With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
during the whole build process.

Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
		  access it during the boot procedure.

4030 4031 4032 4033 4034 4035 4036
		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
		  must be accessible by the kernel.

4037 4038 4039 4040
  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
		  defined.

  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast

  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:

		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
		  is usually what you want since it allows for
		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4053
		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment

		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".

		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an

Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
=======================================
W
wdenk 已提交
4236

M
Marcel Ziswiler 已提交
4237
Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
W
wdenk 已提交
4238 4239
such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
W
wdenk 已提交
4240

W
wdenk 已提交
4241 4242 4243
Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
W
wdenk 已提交
4244

W
wdenk 已提交
4245 4246 4247 4248
If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
W
wdenk 已提交
4249

W
wdenk 已提交
4250 4251
o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
  environment, the SROM's address is used.
W
wdenk 已提交
4252

W
wdenk 已提交
4253 4254 4255
o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
  used.
W
wdenk 已提交
4256

W
wdenk 已提交
4257 4258
o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
W
wdenk 已提交
4259

W
wdenk 已提交
4260 4261 4262

U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
images in two formats:

New uImage format (FIT)
-----------------------

Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.


Old uImage format
-----------------

Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
serves several purposes:
W
wdenk 已提交
4326

W
wdenk 已提交
4327 4328 4329
- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
  Flash memory footprint)
W
wdenk 已提交
4330

W
wdenk 已提交
4331 4332
- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
W
wdenk 已提交
4333

W
wdenk 已提交
4334 4335 4336 4337 4338 4339
- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
  software is easier now.

U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to

(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
Linux :-).

But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
4354

Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
4357 4358
Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
4359
as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.

Building a Linux Image:

With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
100% compatible format.

Example:

	make TQM850L_config
	make oldconfig
	make dep
	make uImage

The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:

* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):

* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:

	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
				 -R .note -R .comment \
				 -S vmlinux linux.bin

* compress the binary image:

	gzip -9 linux.bin

* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:

	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
		-d linux.bin.gz uImage

The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
byte header containing information about target architecture,
operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.

"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
print the header information, or to build new images.

In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
checksum verification:

	tools/mkimage -l image
	  -l ==> list image header information

The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
from a "data file" which is used as image payload:

	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
		      -n name -d data_file image
	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'

address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
kernel version:

- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.

So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:

NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
need to be uncompressed:

Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:

	Entry Point:  0x00000000


Installing a Linux Image:
-------------------------

To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
you must convert the image to S-Record format:

	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec

The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
command.

Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):

	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF

	.......... done
	Erased 8 sectors

	=> loads 40100000
	## Ready for S-Record download ...
	~>examples/image.srec
	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
	...
	15989 15990 15991 15992
	[file transfer complete]
	[connected]
	## Start Addr = 0x00000000


You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;

this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data

Boot Linux:
-----------

The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
"printenv" and "setenv" commands:


	=> printenv bootargs
	bootargs=root=/dev/ram

More About U-Boot Image Types:
------------------------------

U-Boot supports the following image types:

   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
	the Standalone Program.
   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
	being started.
   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.

	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
	a multiple of 4 bytes).

   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
	flash memory.

   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
	as command interpreter.

4722 4723 4724 4725 4726 4727 4728
Booting the Linux zImage:
-------------------------

On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
as the syntax of "bootm" command.

4729 4730 4731 4732 4733
Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

Standalone HOWTO:
=================

One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

Two simple examples are included with the sources:

"Hello World" Demo:
-------------------

'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
like that:

	=> loads
	## Ready for S-Record download ...
	~>examples/hello_world.srec
	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
	[file transfer complete]
	[connected]
	## Start Addr = 0x00040004

	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
	Hello World
	argc = 7
	argv[0] = "40004"
	argv[1] = "Hello"
	argv[2] = "World!"
	argv[3] = "This"
	argv[4] = "is"
	argv[5] = "a"
	argv[6] = "test."
	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
	Hit any key to exit ...

	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0

Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
controlled by the following keys:

	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
	b - enable interrupts and start timer
	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
	q - quit application

	=> loads
	## Ready for S-Record download ...
	~>examples/timer.srec
	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
	[file transfer complete]
	[connected]
	## Start Addr = 0x00040004

	=> go 40004

NetBSD Notes:
=============

Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).

Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:

	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
	# mkdir powerpc
	# ln -s powerpc machine
	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST

Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
and U-Boot include files.

Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

Implementation Internals:
=========================

The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
hardware.


Initial Stack, Global Data:
---------------------------

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

	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's

	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
W
wdenk 已提交
4910 4911 4912 4913 4914
	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
	is another option for the system designer to use as an

	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
W
wdenk 已提交

	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
	board designers haven't used it for something that would
	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
	used.

4921
	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere

4922 4923
	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
4924

	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
	you get the config right.

It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
code for the initialization procedures:

* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
  to write it.

M

4940
* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized

  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).

* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
  that.

Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
reserve for this purpose.

When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
GCC's implementation.

For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
	R1:	stack pointer
4963
	R2:	reserved for system use
W
wdenk 已提交
4964 4965 4966 4967 4968 4969
	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
	R5-R10: parameter passing
	R13:	small data area pointer
	R30:	GOT pointer
	R31:	frame pointer

4970 4971 4972
	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
	going back and forth between asm and C)

W
wdenk 已提交
4975 4976 4977 4978 4979 4980 4981 4982

    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
    624 text + 127 data).

Memory Management:
------------------

U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.

The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
physical memory banks.

U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5042
memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
W
wdenk 已提交
5043 5044 5045 5046 5047 5048 5049 5050 5051 5052 5053 5054 5055 5056 5057 5058 5059 5060 5061 5062 5063 5064 5065 5066 5067 5068 5069 5070 5071 5072 5073
configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).

Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).

So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
this:

	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
	      :
	0x0000 1FFF
	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
	      :
	      :

	      :
	      :
	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
	      :
	0x00FD FFFF
	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]


System Initialization:

In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
M
Marcel Ziswiler 已提交
5076
(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset

wdenk 已提交
5077 5078 5079 5080 5081 5082 5083 5084 5085 5086 5087 5088 5089 5090 5091 5092 5093 5094 5095 5096 5097 5098 5099 5100 5101 5102 5103 5104 5105 5106 5107 5108 5109 5110 5111
configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
the caches and the SIU.

Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
banks.

When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
contiguous memory starting from 0.

Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
pages, and the final stack is set up.

Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
new address in RAM.
