CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
indicated a CRC error).
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
with a special header) as build targets. By defining
CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
special image will be automatically built upon calling
If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
U-Boot considers the values of the environment
variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
protects these variables from casual modification by
the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
read-only.]
The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
for any variable by configuring the type of access
to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
- Protected RAM:
CONFIG_PRAM
Define this variable to enable the reservation of
"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
this default value by defining an environment
variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
reserve. Note that the board info structure will
still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
automatically be defined to hold the amount of
remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
argument to Linux, for instance like that:
setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
saveenv
This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
either, which results in a memory region that will
not be affected by reboots.
*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
following board configurations are known to be
"pRAM-clean":
HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
machines using physical address extension or similar.
Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
currently only supports clearing the memory.
This variable defines the number of retries for
network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
default value of 5 is used.
CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
try longer timeout such as
#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
printed when the command interpreter needs more input
to complete a command. Usually "> ".
Note:
In the current implementation, the local variables
space and global environment variables space are
separated. Local variables are those you define by
simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
variable later on, you have write `$name' or
`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
Global environment variables are those you use
setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
To store commands and special characters in a
variable, please use double quotation marks
surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
of the backslashes before semicolons and special
symbols.
- Command Line Editing and History:
CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
Enable support for changing the command prompt string
at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
and PS2.
Define this to contain any number of null terminated
strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
the default environment compiled into the boot image.
For example, place something like this in your
board's config file:
#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
"myvar1=value1\0" \
"myvar2=value2\0"
Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
internal format how the environment is stored by the
U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
the environment like the "source" command or the
CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
that so that the environment is not available until
explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
this is instead controlled by the value of
/config/load-environment.
- Serial Flash support
Usage requires an initial 'sf probe' to define the serial
flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
commands.
The following defaults may be provided by the platform
to handle the common case when only a single serial
flash is present on the system.
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
number generator is used.
Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
defined, the normal port 69 is used.
The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
but sometimes that is not allowed.
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:

- 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_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).

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
CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
Enable UBI fastmap debug
default: 0
- SPL framework
CONFIG_SPL
Enable building of SPL globally.
CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
must not be both defined at the same time.
Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
not exceed it.
CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to
CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
must not be both defined at the same time.
CONFIG_SPL_STACK
Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
loaded does not have a signature.
Defining this is useful when code which loads images
in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
will be caught.
An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
and thus should be skipped silently.
CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to
CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
See also: doc/README.falcon

used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
(for falcon mode)
CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
used in fs mode
CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
Avoid SPL relocation
CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires
CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.

Location in memory to load U-Boot to
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
Size of image to load
Entry point in loaded image to jump to
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
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.
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_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.
If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,

this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By

fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

committed
recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese
committed
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"
