Summary:
========
This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
Embedded boards based on PowerPC and ARM processors, which can be
installed in a boot ROM and used to initialize and test the hardware
or to download and run application code.
The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
header files in common, and special provision has been made to
support booting of Linux images.
Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
load and run it dynamically.
Status:
=======
In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
who contributed the specific port.
Where to get help:
==================
In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for
U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at
<u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net>. There is also an archive of
previous traffic on the mailing list - please search the archive
before asking FAQ's. Please see
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/u-boot-users/
Where we come from:
===================
- start from 8xxrom sources
- create PPCBoot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcboot)
- clean up code
- make it easier to add custom boards
- make it possible to add other [PowerPC] CPUs
- extend functions, especially:
* Provide extended interface to Linux boot loader
* S-Record download
* network boot
* PCMCIA / CompactFLash / ATA disk / SCSI ... boot
- create ARMBoot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/armboot)
- create U-Boot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot)
Names and Spelling:
===================
The "official" name of this project is "Das U-Boot". The spelling
"U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments
in source files etc.). Example:
This is the README file for the U-Boot project.
File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples:
include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h
#include <asm/u-boot.h>
Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on
the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example:
U_BOOT_VERSION u_boot_logo
IH_OS_U_BOOT u_boot_hush_start
Versioning:
===========
U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

Software Configuration:
=======================
Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
There are two classes of configuration variables:
* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
"CONFIG_".
* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
"CFG_".
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
For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the cpu type as well;
e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
Configuration Options:
----------------------
Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
such information is kept in a configuration file
"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
build a config tool - later.
The following options need to be configured:
- CPU Type: Define exactly one of
PowerPC based CPUs:
-------------------
CONFIG_MPC823, CONFIG_MPC850, CONFIG_MPC855, CONFIG_MPC860
or CONFIG_MPC824X, CONFIG_MPC8260

CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,

Define one or more of
CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
the lcd display every second with
a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)

CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - if get_gclk_freq() can not work e.g.
no 32KHz reference PIT/RTC clock
- Clock Interface:
CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
Linux kernel.
When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
default environment.
- Console Interface:
Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE

CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
upper right corner
(requires CFG_CMD_DATE)
CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
upper left corner
CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
linux_logo.h for logo.
Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
addional board info beside
the logo
When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
environment 'console=serial'.
- Console Baudrate:
CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
Select one of the baudrates listed in
CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
- Interrupt driven serial port input:
CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
PPC405GP only.
Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
(RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
Set to 0 to disable this feature (this is the default).
This will also disable hardware handshake.
- Console UART Number:
CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE
IBM PPC4xx only.
If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used
as default U-Boot console.
- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
Delay before automatically booting the default image;
set to -1 to disable autoboot.
See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
- Autoboot Command:
CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
define a command string that is automatically executed
when no character is read on the console interface
within "Boot Delay" after reset.
CONFIG_BOOTARGS
This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
environment value "bootargs".
The value of these goes into the environment as
"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
as a convenience, when switching between booting from
ram and nfs.

- Pre-Boot Commands:
CONFIG_PREBOOT
When this option is #defined, the existence of the
environment variable "preboot" will be checked
immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
entering interactive mode.
This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
automatically generated or modified. For an example
see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
modified when the user holds down a certain
combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
booting the systems
- Serial Download Echo Mode:
CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
If defined to 1, all characters received during a
serial download (using the "loads" command) are
echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
time on others. This setting #define's the initial
value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CFG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
Select one of the baudrates listed in
CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
- Monitor Functions:
CONFIG_COMMANDS
Most monitor functions can be selected (or
de-selected) by adjusting the definition of
CONFIG_COMMANDS; to select individual functions,
#define CONFIG_COMMANDS by "OR"ing any of the
following values:
#define enables commands:

If you don't define CONFIG_COMMANDS it defaults to
CFG_CMD_DFL in include/cmd_confdefs.h. A board can
override the default settings in the respective
include file.
EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
support you can write:
#define CONFIG_COMMANDS (CFG_CMD_ALL & ~CFG_CMD_NET)
Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
(configuration option CFG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
initial stack and some data.
XXX - this list needs to get updated!
- Watchdog:
CONFIG_WATCHDOG
If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
support. There must be support in the platform specific
code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the
SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
register.
- U-Boot Version:
CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
If this variable is defined, an environment variable
named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
version as printed by the "version" command.
This variable is readonly.
- Real-Time Clock:
When CFG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
following options:
CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
(date and time) of an image is printed by image
commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
automatically enabled when you select CFG_CMD_DATE .

- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
display); also select one of the supported displays
by defining one of these:
CONFIG_NEC_NL6648AC33:
NEC NL6648AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
CONFIG_NEC_NL6648BC20
NEC NL6648BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
Active, color, single scan.
CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
Active, color, single scan.
CONFIG_HLD1045
HLD1045 display, 640x480.
Active, color, single scan.
CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
or
Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
or
Hitachi SP14Q002
320x240. Black & white.
Normally display is black on white background; define
CFG_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
If this option is set, the environment is checked for
a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
is supressed and the BMP image at the address
specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
loaded very quickly after power-on.
- Compression support:
CONFIG_BZIP2
If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
compressed images are supported.
NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
the malloc area (as defined by CFG_MALLOC_LEN) should
be at least 4MB.

- Ethernet address:
CONFIG_ETHADDR
CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
Define a default value for ethernet address to use
for the respective ethernet interface, in case this
is not determined automatically.
- IP address:
CONFIG_IPADDR
Define a default value for the IP address to use for
the default ethernet interface, in case this is not
determined through e.g. bootp.
- Server IP address:
CONFIG_SERVERIP
Defines a default value for theIP address of a TFTP
server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
- 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 insterted then:
1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
4th and following
BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

- DHCP Advanced Options:
CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK
You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by adding
these flags to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK define:
CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
serverip will be stored in the additional environment
variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
is added to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK.
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_BOOP_SEND_HOSTNAME is added to the
CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK, the content of the "hostname"
environment variable is passed as option 12 to
the DHCP server.
- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
Several configurations allow to display the current
status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
feature in U-Boot.
- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
on those systems that support this (optional)
feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected cpu.
This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
command line (as long as you set CFG_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 the CPM hardware driver for I2C.
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
support for I2C.
There are several other quantities that must also be
defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
In both cases you will need to define CFG_I2C_SPEED
to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
to run and CFG_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
the cpu's i2c node address).
Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
