- Hashing support:
CONFIG_CMD_HASH
This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
size a little.
CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
a boot from specific media.
This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
will set it back to normal. This command currently
supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
- Signing support:
CONFIG_RSA
This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
option.
- bootcount support:
CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
This enables the bootcounter support, see:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
CONFIG_BLACKFIN
enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
the bootcounter.
CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Defining this option allows to add some board-
specific code (calling a user-provided function
"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
the system's boot progress on some display (for
example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
the following checkpoints are implemented:

- 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

29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
and un/stashing of bootstage data.

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.

- legacy image format:
CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
Default:
enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
disable the legacy image format
This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
enabled per default for backward compatibility.
- FIT image support:
CONFIG_FIT
Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
signature check the legacy image format is default
disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
with this option.
- Standalone program support:
CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
This option defines a board specific value for the
address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
overwriting the architecture dependent default
settings.
- Frame Buffer Address:
CONFIG_FB_ADDR
Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
when using a graphics controller has separate video
memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
configured panel size.
Please see board_init_f function.
- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
Needed for mtdparts command support.
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
kernel. Needed for UBI support.
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE
verify if the written data is correct reread.
- UBI support
CONFIG_CMD_UBI
Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
with the UBI flash translation layer
Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
warnings and errors enabled.

CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
default: 4096
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
flash), this value is ignored.
NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
count of eraseblocks on the chip).
To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
partition.
default: 20
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
without a fastmap.
default: 0
- UBIFS support
CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

warnings and errors enabled.

use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
example if more than one image needs to be produced.
CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
bootm command when booting a FIT image.
- TPL framework
CONFIG_TPL
Enable building of TPL globally.
CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
CONFIG_HWFLOW
- Modem debug support:
CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
general timer_interrupt().
In the target system modem support is enabled when a
specific key (key combination) is pressed during
power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
initialization.
If there are no modem init strings in the
environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
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()
Configuration Settings:
-----------------------
- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console
- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output
- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
booted
- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
If the board specific function
extern int overwrite_console (void);
returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
simple memory test.
- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,

This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
be touched.
WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
non page size aligned address and this could cause major
problems.
- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
Cogent motherboard)
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
make config files to be same as the text base address
(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
flash sector.
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
will become available before relocation. The address is just
below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
space.
This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
U-Boot relocates itself.
Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
to adjust this setting to your needs.
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
is enabled.
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
instead of U-Boot software protection.
- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
without this option such a download has to be
performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
copy from RAM to flash.
The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
you can check if the download worked before you erase
the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
in the drivers directory
- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
to the MTD layer.
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

Guennadi Liakhovetski
committed
Use buffered writes to flash.
- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
write commands.
- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
optionally available.
- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
against the source after the write operation. An error message
will be printed when the contents are not identical.
Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
this option if you really know what you are doing.
- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
internally to store the environment settings. The default
setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
lib/hashtable.c for details.
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
The format of the list is:
type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
entry = variable_name[:attributes]
list = entry[,list]
The type attributes are:
s - String (default)
d - Decimal
x - Hexadecimal
b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
i - IP address
m - MAC address
The access attributes are:
a - Any (default)
