Summary:
========
This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
code.
The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
header files in common, and special provision has been made to
support booting of Linux images.
Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
load and run it dynamically.
Status:
=======
In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
maintainers.
Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:
make CHANGELOG
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
<[email protected]>. There is also an archive of previous traffic
on the mailing list - please search the archive before asking FAQ's.
Please see http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot and
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot
Where to get source code:
=========================
The U-Boot source code is maintained in the git repository at
git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git ; you can browse it online at
http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
The "snapshot" links on this page allow you to download tarballs of
any version you might be interested in. Official releases are also
available for FTP download from the ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
directory.
Pre-built (and tested) images are available from
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/images/
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)
- add other CPU families (starting with ARM)
- create U-Boot project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot)
- current project page: see http://www.denx.de/wiki/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:
===========
Starting with the release in October 2008, the names of the releases
were changed from numerical release numbers without deeper meaning
into a time stamp based numbering. Regular releases are identified by
names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date.
Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix
releases in "stable" maintenance trees.
Examples:
U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009
U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree
U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release

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
"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>_defconfig".
Example: For a TQM823L module type:
cd u-boot
make TQM823L_defconfig
For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
Sandbox Environment:
--------------------
U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
run some of U-Boot's tests.
See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
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, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
Define exactly one of
CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
Define exactly one of
CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
Define one or more of
CONFIG_CMA302
- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
Define one or more of
CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on
the LCD display every second with
a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
- Marvell Family Member
CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
multiple fs option at one time
for marvell soc family
- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
get_gclk_freq() cannot work
e.g. if there is no 32KHz
reference PIT/RTC clock
CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
or XTAL/EXTAL)
- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
See doc/README.MPC866
CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
of relying on the correctness of the configured
values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
Define this option if you want to enable the
ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
- 85xx CPU Options:
CONFIG_SYS_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.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
tree nodes for the given platform.
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.
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_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
required during NOR boot.
CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
according to the A004510 workaround.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR

connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
which is directly connected to the DSP core.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
connected to the DSP core.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
- Generic CPU options:
CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
values is arch specific.
CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR
Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is
found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core
SoCs.

ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator

2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
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
CONF_CM_UNCACHED
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
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.
- 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.
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_ARM_ERRATA_716044
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
set these options unless they apply!
- Driver Model
Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
handling of platform data and device tree.
To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
interfaces include compatibility features which may be
removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
not change with driver model.
See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
CONFIG_DM
Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
scanned also when available.
CONFIG_CMD_DM
Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
CONFIG_DM_DEMO
Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
really only useful for playing around while trying to
understand driver model in sandbox.
CONFIG_SPL_DM
Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
it.
CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
defined in include/serial.h.
CONFIG_DM_GPIO
Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
CONFIG_DM_SPI
Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
(spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
spi_slave structure.
CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
(spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
for one and not the other).
CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
conversion is not yet possible.
** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
features in SPL.
CONFIG_DM_WARN
Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
of space for its strings.
CONFIG_DM_STDIO
Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
Enable removing of devices.
- Linux Kernel Interface:
CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
Linux kernel.
When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
default environment.
CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
concepts).
CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
* New libfdt-based support
* Adds the "fdt" command
* The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
addresses
CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
the kernel.
CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
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.
- vxWorks boot parameters:
bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
the defaults discussed just above.
- Cache Configuration:
CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
- Cache Configuration for ARM:
CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
controller
CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
controller register space
- Serial Ports:
CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
the clock speed of the UARTs.
CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
this variable to initialize the extra register.
CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
variable to flush the UART at init time.
CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
- Console Interface:
Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
port routines must be defined elsewhere
(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation
(default big endian)
VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports
rectangle fill
(cf. smiLynxEM)
VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports
bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns
(cols=pitch)
VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows
VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel
VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format
(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address
VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct
(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct
(i.e. i8042_tstc)
VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct
(i.e. i8042_getc)
CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off
(requires blink timer
cf. i8042.c)
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in
upper right corner
(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in
upper left corner
CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of
linux_logo.h for logo.
Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
additional board info beside
the logo
When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
environment 'console=serial'.
When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
the "silent" environment variable. See
doc/README.silent for more information.
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
is 0x00.
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
is 0xa0.
- Console Baudrate:
CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
Select one of the baudrates listed in
CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
- Console Rx buffer length
With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
the SMC.
- Pre-Console Buffer:
Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
buffer any console messages prior to the console being
initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
earlier bytes are discarded.
'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
- Safe printf() functions
Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
the printf() functions. These are defined in
include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
If this option is not given then these functions will
silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
Delay before automatically booting the default image;
set to -1 to disable autoboot.
set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
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
