Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
a Linux host by
# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
might be defined in YourBoardName.h
CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
Define this to build a UDC device
CONFIG_USB_TTY
Define this to have a tty type of device available to
talk to the UDC device
CONFIG_USBD_HS
Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
speed.
CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
be set to usbtty.
mpc8xx:

Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
Define this as the unique Product ID
for your device
- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
- ULPI Layer Support:
The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
viewport is supported.
To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
the appropriate value in Hz.
The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.

CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
CONFIG_CMD_DFU
This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
CONFIG_DFU_MMC
This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
CONFIG_DFU_NAND
This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
have not defined a custom partition
- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
file in FAT formatted partition.
This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
user to write files to FAT.
CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
CONFIG_CMD_CBFS

for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
- Video support:
CONFIG_VIDEO
Define this to enable video support (for output to
video).
CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
assumed.
selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
are possible:
- "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
Following standard modes are supported (* is default):
Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024

24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B
-------------+---------------------------------------------
- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
support, and should also define these other macros:
CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
CONFIG_VIDEO
CONFIG_CMD_BMP
CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
description of this variable.
CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
driver.
Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
defined in your board-specific files.
The only board using this so far is RBC823.
- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD
Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
display); also select one of the supported displays
by defining one of these:
CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.

CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
Active, color, single scan.
CONFIG_HLD1045
HLD1045 display, 640x480.
Active, color, single scan.
CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
or
Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T
or
Hitachi SP14Q002
320x240. Black & white.
Normally display is black on white background; define
CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
a per-section basis.
CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
is slow.
CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
CONFIG_I2C_EDID
Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
If this option is set, the environment is checked for
a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
loaded very quickly after power-on.
CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
(see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
there is no need to set this option.
CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
specify 'm' for centering the image.
Example:
setenv splashpos m,m
=> image at center of screen
setenv splashpos 30,20
=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
setenv splashpos -10,m
=> vertically centered image
at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE
If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare()
function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part
of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an
opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is
processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot.
- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
splashscreen support or the bmp command.
- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
bmp command.
- Do compresssing for memory range:
CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
- Compression support:
CONFIG_BZIP2
If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
compressed images are supported.
NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should

CONFIG_LZMA
If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
images is included.
Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
formula:
(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
and Literal pos bits.
This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
a very small buffer.
Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
- MII/PHY support:
CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
The address of PHY on MII bus.
CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
The clock frequency of the MII bus
CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
reset before any MII register access is possible.
For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
command issued before MII status register can be read
CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
is not determined automatically.
- IP address:
CONFIG_IPADDR
Define a default value for the IP address to use for
the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
(Environment variable "ipaddr")
Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
(Environment variable "serverip")
CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
- Gateway IP address:
CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
Defines a default value for the IP address of the
default router where packets to other networks are
sent to.
(Environment variable "gatewayip")
- Subnet mask:
CONFIG_NETMASK
Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
forwarded through a router.
(Environment variable "netmask")
- Multicast TFTP Mode:
CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
multicast group.
- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
If you have many targets in a network that try to
boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
from a power failure, when all systems will try to
boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
following delays are inserted then:
1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
4th and following
BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec

CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
after the configured retry count, the call will fail
instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
is not available.

CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.

serverip will be stored in the additional environment
variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS

A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
that one of the retries will be successful but note that
the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
this delay.
- Link-local IP address negotiation:
Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
See doc/README.link-local for more information.
The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
of the device.
CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
An ascii string containing the version of the software.
CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
device in .1 of milliwatts.
CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
Several configurations allow to display the current
status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
feature in U-Boot.
- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
on those systems that support this (optional)
feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
support for I2C.
There are several other quantities that must also be
defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
chips might think that the current transfer is still
in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
commands until the slave device responds.
That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
from include/configs/lwmon.h):
(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
controller or configure ports.
eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
are 0..3 for ports A..D.
I2C_ACTIVE
The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
(driven). If the data line is open collector, this
define can be null.
eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
I2C_TRISTATE
The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
(inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
define can be null.
eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
false if it is low.
eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
is false, it clears it (low).
if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
is false, it clears it (low).
if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
I2C_DELAY
This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
like:
