CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
the SPL 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_SPL_TARGET
Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
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.
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().
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_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
Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.

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_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 forgotten) when
U-Boot relocates itself.
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
- 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_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
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)
r - Read-only
o - Write-once
c - Change-default
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
environment variable. To override a setting in the static
list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
".flags" variable.
If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
access flags.
- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
building U-Boot to enable this.
The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
following configurations:
- 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.
BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
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.
BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
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.

- 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.
Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
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.]
Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
to do this.
- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
Similar to the previous option, but display this information
later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
present.
- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
build system checks that the actual size does not
exceed it.
---------------------------------------------------
- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
PowerPC SOCs.
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
- 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
be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
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:
If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
the default drive number (default value 0)
CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
defines the offset of register from address. It
depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory.
doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx systems only]
- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
Start address of memory area that can be used for
initial data and stack; please note that this must be
writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
will become available only after programming the
memory controller and running certain initialization
sequences.
U-Boot uses the following memory types:
- MPC8xx: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
Note:
On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27)
- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM:
- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA:

Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
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.
- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
Chip has SRIO or not
- CONFIG_SRIO1:
Board has SRIO 1 port available
- CONFIG_SRIO2:
Board has SRIO 2 port available
- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
a 16 bit bus.
Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
Example of drivers that use it:
- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
a default value will be used.
Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
to something your driver can deal with.
- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
header files or board specific files.
- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
- CONFIG_RMII
Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
Note that this is a global option, we can't
have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
The syntax is:
=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
Where address/count indicate a memory area
and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
area should have.
- CONFIG_LOOPW
Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
"md/mw" commands.
Examples:
This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
low level initializations (like setting up the memory
controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
relocate itself into RAM.
Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
these initializations itself.
- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
instruction cache) is still performed.
Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
compiling a NAND SPL.
- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
It is loaded by the SPL.

- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
previous 4k of the .text section.
- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms

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.

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_REMOTE
Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
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.
Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
---------------------------------------------------------
The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
"firmware".
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_FSL_MC_ENET
Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
-------------------------------------------
The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
Reproducible builds
-------------------
In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
process have to be set to a fixed value.
This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
Building the Software:
======================
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.
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:
$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
$ export CROSS_COMPILE
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.
U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
make NAME_defconfig
where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
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"
when choosing the configuration, i. e.
make TQM823L_defconfig
- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
- 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
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_defconfig
make O=/tmp/build all
2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
make distclean
make NAME_defconfig
make all
Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
variable.
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. 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" and a "<board>.c".
2. 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>_defconfig" 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.:
==============================================================
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
provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
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
the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
for documentation.
