CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
This is just another way to specify the start address of
the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
Size of the sector containing the environment.
b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
the environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
updating the environment in flash makes it always
necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
RAM, your target system will be dead.
- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
accordingly!
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
can just be read and written to, without any special
provision.
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.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
device and a driver for it.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
The default address is zero.
- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
would require six bits.
- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
that this is NOT the chip address length!
- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
byte chips.
Note that we consider the length of the address field to
still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
in the chip address.
- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
EEPROM. For example:
#define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
want to use for the environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
at the specified address.

- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
want to use for the environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
aligned to an erase sector boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
Define the SPI flash's sector size.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
aligned to an erase sector boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
want to use for the local device's environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the address and size of the
environment area within the remote memory space. The
local device can get the environment from remote memory
space by SRIO or PCIE links.
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_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
for the environment.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
aligned to an erase block boundary.
This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
aligned to an erase block boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
the range to be avoided.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
"nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

- 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.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
accesses, which is important on NAND.
- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
environment in.
- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
when storing the env in UBI.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
- FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
- FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
be as following:
"D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
- "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
partition table.
- "D:0": device D.
- "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
table, or the whole device D if has no partition
table.
- "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
partition table then means device D.
- FAT_ENV_FILE:
It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.

- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
environment.
- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
area within the specified MMC device.
If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
MMC sector boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
an MMC sector boundary.
- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
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_DEFAULT_IMMR:
Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
the IMMR register after a reset.
- 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_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
- 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

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/82xx 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 and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
- MPC824X: data cache
- PPC4xx: data cache
- 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 -
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_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.

Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
required.
- 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

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

- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0

be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
to the given FEC; i. e.
#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
(so program the FEC to ignore it).
- 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_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
conditions but may increase the binary size.
- 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_SYS_MPUCLK
Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
driver that uses this:
drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
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.

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.
- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
is also specified.
- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
virtual address in NOR flash.
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
