CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
Defines a default value for the IP address of the
default router where packets to other networks are
sent to.
(Environment variable "gatewayip")
- Subnet mask:
CONFIG_NETMASK
Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
forwarded through a router.
(Environment variable "netmask")
- Multicast TFTP Mode:
CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
multicast group.
- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
If you have many targets in a network that try to
boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
from a power failure, when all systems will try to
boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
following delays are inserted then:
1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
4th and following
BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

- DHCP Advanced Options:
You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS

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.

Stefan Roese
committed
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.

Stefan Roese
committed
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

Stefan Roese
committed
CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
option 12 to the DHCP server.

CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
that one of the retries will be successful but note that
the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
this delay.
- Link-local IP address negotiation:
Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
See doc/README.link-local for more information.
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.

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.
Additional options:
CONFIG_GPIO_LED
The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
- 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_SYS_I2C
This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and 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 or other i2c devices. See
common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
interface.

additional defines:
CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
omit this define.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
omit this define.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
define.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
}
which defines
bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
provides the following compelling advantages:
- more than one i2c adapter is usable
- approved multibus support
- better i2c mux support
** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
CONFIG_HARD_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
CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
There are several other quantities that must also be
defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_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
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_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
from include/configs/lwmon.h):
(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
controller or configure ports.
eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
(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)
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)
If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
is false, it clears it (low).
if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
is false, it clears it (low).
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:
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
the generic GPIO functions.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
chips might think that the current transfer is still
in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
is run early in the boot sequence.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
a 1D array of device addresses
e.g.
#undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
specified DTT device.
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
between writing the address pointer and reading the
data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
devices can use either method, but some require one or
the other.
- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI
Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
D/As on the SACSng board)
CONFIG_SH_SPI
Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
only SH7757 is supported.
CONFIG_SPI_X
Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
using hardware support. This is a general purpose
driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
defined, the board configuration must define several
SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
CONFIG_HARD_SPI
Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an
example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
CONFIG_MXC_SPI
Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
Enables FPGA subsystem.
CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
Enables support for specific chip vendors.

(Xilinx only)
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
status by the configuration function. This option
will require a board or device specific function to
be written.

If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
configuration driver.
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
indicated a CRC error).
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
- Configuration Management:
CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
U-Boot considers the values of the environment
variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
protects these variables from casual modification by
the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
these parameters.
Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
read-only.]
The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
for any variable by configuring the type of access
to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
- Protected RAM:
CONFIG_PRAM
Define this variable to enable the reservation of
"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
this default value by defining an environment
variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
reserve. Note that the board info structure will
still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
automatically be defined to hold the amount of
remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
argument to Linux, for instance like that:
setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
saveenv
This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
either, which results in a memory region that will
not be affected by reboots.
*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
following board configurations are known to be
"pRAM-clean":
IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
machines using physical address extension or similar.
Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
currently only supports clearing the memory.
- Error Recovery:
CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
system where you want the system to reboot
automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
useful during development since you can try to debug
the conditions that lead to the situation.
CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
This variable defines the number of retries for
network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
default value of 5 is used.
CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
try longer timeout such as
#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
for the "hush" shell.
CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
powerful command line syntax like
if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
constructs ("shell scripts").
If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
printed when the command interpreter needs more input
to complete a command. Usually "> ".
Note:
In the current implementation, the local variables
space and global environment variables space are
separated. Local variables are those you define by
simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
variable later on, you have write `$name' or
`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
Global environment variables are those you use
setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
To store commands and special characters in a
variable, please use double quotation marks
surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
of the backslashes before semicolons and special
symbols.
- Commandline Editing and History:
CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Define this to contain any number of null terminated
strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
the default environment compiled into the boot image.
For example, place something like this in your
board's config file:
#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
"myvar1=value1\0" \
"myvar2=value2\0"
Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
internal format how the environment is stored by the
U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
the environment like the "source" command or the
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
CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
Define this in order to add variables describing certain
run-time determined information about the hardware to the
environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
that so that the environment is not available until
explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
this is instead controlled by the value of
/config/load-environment.
CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
commands cp, md...
- 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
CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
test ('sf test').
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
memories can be connected with a given cs line.
currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
- SystemACE Support:
CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
of the chip must also be defined in the
CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
number generator is used.
Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
defined, the normal port 69 is used.
The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
but sometimes that is not allowed.
