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_config

For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
-e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent

+
- TPM Support:
CONFIG_TPM
Support TPM devices.
downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
+ CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
+ The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
+ the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
+ this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
+
+ CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
+ The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
+ regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
+ the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
+
- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
4th and following
BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
+ CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
+
+ BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
+ server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
+ U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
+ an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
+ aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
+ ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
+ respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
+ takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
+ time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
+ to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
+ retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
+ IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
+ cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
+ requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
+ from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
+
- DHCP Advanced Options:
You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
+ CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
+ Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
+ default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */
+
- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
Enables FPGA subsystem.
memories can be connected with a given cs line.
currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
+ CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
+ enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
+ register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
+ The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
+ the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
+ device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
+ and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
+ nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
+ operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
+ hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
+
- SystemACE Support:
CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
kernel. Needed for UBI support.
+ CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE
+ verify if the written data is correct reread.
+
- UBI support
CONFIG_CMD_UBI
Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
warnings and errors enabled.
+
+ 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).
+
+ default: 4096
+
+ 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
+
- UBIFS support
CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
+- 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 forgotton) when
+ U-Boot relocates itself.
+
+ Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
+ at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
+
- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
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.
+
Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
---------------------------------------------------
sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
is done by typing:
- make NAME_config
+ make NAME_defconfig
-where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
+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
or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
when choosing the configuration, i. e.
- make TQM823L_config
+ make TQM823L_defconfig
- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
- make TQM823L_LCD_config
+ make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
etc.
1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
make O=/tmp/build distclean
- make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
+ make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
make O=/tmp/build all
2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
make distclean
- make NAME_config
+ make NAME_defconfig
make all
Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
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>_config" with your new name.
+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.
Example:
- make TQM850L_config
+ make TQM850L_defconfig
make oldconfig
make dep
make uImage
