Software Configuration:
=======================
This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
+ CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
+
+ U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
+ If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
+ removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
+ so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
+ crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
+ no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
+
- vxWorks boot parameters:
bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_RST * ds4510 I2C rst command
CONFIG_CMD_DTT * Digital Therm and Thermostat
CONFIG_CMD_ECHO echo arguments
+ CONFIG_CMD_EDITENV edit env variable
CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM * EEPROM read/write support
CONFIG_CMD_ELF * bootelf, bootvx
CONFIG_CMD_SAVEENV saveenv
CONFIG_LBA48
Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
- Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA ,CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF and CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL
+ Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
support disks up to 2.1TB.
- NETWORK Support (other):
+ CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC
+ Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC.
+
+ CONFIG_RMII
+ Define this to use reduced MII inteface
+
+ CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET
+ If this defined, the driver is quiet.
+ The driver doen't show link status messages.
+
CONFIG_DRIVER_LAN91C96
Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips.
Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros
(some hardware wont work with macros)
- CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X
+ CONFIG_SMC911X
Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips
- CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_BASE
+ CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE
Define this to hold the physical address
of the device (I/O space)
- CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_32_BIT
+ CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT
Define this if data bus is 32 bits
- CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_16_BIT
+ CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT
Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor
automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit
- words you may also try CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_32_BIT.
+ words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT.
- USB Support:
At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
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.
+
- Compression support:
CONFIG_BZIP2
to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
the CPU's i2c node address).
- Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (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_SLAVE to 0.
CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
is run early in the boot sequence.
+ CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
+
+ An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
+ defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
+ boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
+ is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
+ using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
+ controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
+ i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
+ controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
+
CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
the following checkpoints are implemented:
-- 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_DEVICE
-
- Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
- Needed for mtdparts command support.
-
- CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
-
- Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
- kernel. Needed for UBI support.

The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
+ - 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 "pca9547:70:d\0"
+
+ EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
+ a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
-- CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF:
- Makes vsprintf (and all *printf functions) support printing
- of 64bit values by using the L quantifier
-
-- CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL:
- Adds simple_strtoull that returns a 64bit value
-
- 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

working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
