14 depends on SUPPORT_SPL
17 If you want to build SPL as well as the normal image, say Y.
20 bool "Support SPL based upon the common SPL framework"
24 Enable the SPL framework under common/spl/. This framework
25 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM and other methods loading of U-Boot
26 and the Linux Kernel. If unsure, say Y.
29 bool "Pass hand-off information from SPL to U-Boot proper"
32 It is useful to be able to pass information from SPL to U-Boot
33 proper to preserve state that is known in SPL and is needed in U-Boot.
34 Enable this to locate the handoff information in U-Boot proper, early
35 in boot. It is available in gd->handoff. The state state is set up
36 in SPL (or TPL if that is being used).
41 bool "Pass hand-off information from SPL to U-Boot proper"
45 This option enables SPL to write handoff information. This can be
46 used to pass information like the size of SDRAM from SPL to U-Boot
47 proper. Also SPL can receive information from TPL in the same place
51 string "Linker script for the SPL stage"
52 default "arch/$(ARCH)/cpu/u-boot-spl.lds"
54 The SPL stage will usually require a different linker-script
55 (as it runs from a different memory region) than the regular
56 U-Boot stage. Set this to the path of the linker-script to
60 bool "Call board-specific initialization in SPL"
62 If this option is enabled, U-Boot will call the function
63 spl_board_init() from board_init_r(). This function should be
64 provided by the board.
66 config SPL_BOOTROM_SUPPORT
67 bool "Support returning to the BOOTROM"
69 Some platforms (e.g. the Rockchip RK3368) provide support in their
70 ROM for loading the next boot-stage after performing basic setup
73 Enable this option, to return to the BOOTROM through the
74 BOOT_DEVICE_BOOTROM (or fall-through to the next boot device in the
75 boot device list, if not implemented for a given board)
77 config SPL_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
78 bool "Support bootcount in SPL"
79 depends on SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
81 On some boards, which use 'falcon' mode, it is necessary to check
82 and increment the number of boot attempts. Such boards do not
83 use proper U-Boot for normal boot flow and hence needs those
84 adjustments to be done in the SPL.
86 config SPL_RAW_IMAGE_SUPPORT
87 bool "Support SPL loading and booting of RAW images"
88 default n if (ARCH_MX6 && (SPL_MMC_SUPPORT || SPL_SATA_SUPPORT))
89 default y if !TI_SECURE_DEVICE
91 SPL will support loading and booting a RAW image when this option
92 is y. If this is not set, SPL will move on to other available
93 boot media to find a suitable image.
95 config SPL_LEGACY_IMAGE_SUPPORT
96 bool "Support SPL loading and booting of Legacy images"
97 default y if !TI_SECURE_DEVICE
99 SPL will support loading and booting Legacy images when this option
100 is y. If this is not set, SPL will move on to other available
101 boot media to find a suitable image.

104 bool "Check CRC of Legacy images"
105 depends on SPL_LEGACY_IMAGE_SUPPORT
106 select SPL_CRC32_SUPPORT
108 Enable this to check the CRC of Legacy images. While this increases
109 reliability, it affects both code size and boot duration.
110 If disabled, Legacy images are booted if the image magic and size
111 are correct, without further integrity checks.
113 config SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
115 prompt "Only use malloc_simple functions in the SPL"
117 Say Y here to only use the *_simple malloc functions from
118 malloc_simple.c, rather then using the versions from dlmalloc.c;
119 this will make the SPL binary smaller at the cost of more heap
120 usage as the *_simple malloc functions do not re-use free-ed mem.
122 config TPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
124 prompt "Only use malloc_simple functions in the TPL"
126 Say Y here to only use the *_simple malloc functions from
127 malloc_simple.c, rather then using the versions from dlmalloc.c;
128 this will make the TPL binary smaller at the cost of more heap
129 usage as the *_simple malloc functions do not re-use free-ed mem.
132 bool "Enable SDRAM location for SPL stack"
134 SPL starts off execution in SRAM and thus typically has only a small
135 stack available. Since SPL sets up DRAM while in its board_init_f()
136 function, it is possible for the stack to move there before
137 board_init_r() is reached. This option enables a special SDRAM
138 location for the SPL stack. U-Boot SPL switches to this after
139 board_init_f() completes, and before board_init_r() starts.

142 depends on SPL_STACK_R
143 hex "SDRAM location for SPL stack"
144 default 0x82000000 if ARCH_OMAP2PLUS

147 before board_init_r() is called.
149 config SPL_STACK_R_MALLOC_SIMPLE_LEN
150 depends on SPL_STACK_R && SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
151 hex "Size of malloc_simple heap after switching to DRAM SPL stack"
154 Specify the amount of the stack to use as memory pool for
155 malloc_simple after switching the stack to DRAM. This may be set
156 to give board_init_r() a larger heap then the initial heap in
157 SRAM which is limited to SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN bytes.
159 config SPL_SEPARATE_BSS
160 bool "BSS section is in a different memory region from text"
162 Some platforms need a large BSS region in SPL and can provide this
163 because RAM is already set up. In this case BSS can be moved to RAM.
164 This option should then be enabled so that the correct device tree
165 location is used. Normally we put the device tree at the end of BSS
166 but with this option enabled, it goes at _image_binary_end.
168 config SPL_BANNER_PRINT
169 bool "Enable output of the SPL banner 'U-Boot SPL ...'"
172 If this option is enabled, SPL will print the banner with version
173 info. Disabling this option could be useful to reduce TPL boot time
174 (e.g. approx. 6 ms faster, when output on i.MX6 with 115200 baud).
176 config TPL_BANNER_PRINT
177 bool "Enable output of the TPL banner 'U-Boot TPL ...'"
180 If this option is enabled, SPL will not print the banner with version
181 info. Disabling this option could be useful to reduce SPL boot time
182 (e.g. approx. 6 ms faster, when output on i.MX6 with 115200 baud).
184 config SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
185 bool "Display a board-specific message in SPL"
187 If this option is enabled, U-Boot will call the function

249 default y if SPL_LEGACY_IMAGE_SUPPORT
251 Enable this to support CRC32 in uImages or FIT images within SPL.
252 This is a 32-bit checksum value that can be used to verify images.
253 For FIT images, this is the least secure type of checksum, suitable
254 for detected accidental image corruption. For secure applications you
255 should consider SHA1 or SHA256.
257 config SPL_MD5_SUPPORT
261 Enable this to support MD5 in FIT images within SPL. An MD5
262 checksum is a 128-bit hash value used to check that the image
263 contents have not been corrupted. Note that MD5 is not considered
264 secure as it is possible (with a brute-force attack) to adjust the
265 image while still retaining the same MD5 hash value. For secure
266 applications where images may be changed maliciously, you should
267 consider SHA1 or SHA256.
269 config SPL_SHA1_SUPPORT
274 Enable this to support SHA1 in FIT images within SPL. A SHA1
275 checksum is a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value used to check that the
276 image contents have not been corrupted or maliciously altered.
277 While SHA1 is fairly secure it is coming to the end of its life
278 due to the expanding computing power avaiable to brute-force
279 attacks. For more security, consider SHA256.
281 config SPL_SHA256_SUPPORT
282 bool "Support SHA256"
286 Enable this to support SHA256 in FIT images within SPL. A SHA256
287 checksum is a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value used to check that the
288 image contents have not been corrupted. SHA256 is recommended for
289 use in secure applications since (as at 2016) there is no known
290 feasible attack that could produce a 'collision' with differing
291 input data. Use this for the highest security. Note that only the
292 SHA256 variant is supported: SHA512 and others are not currently

301 Enable this to reduce the size of the FIT image loading code
302 in SPL, if space for the SPL binary is very tight.
304 This removes the detection of image types (which forces the
305 first image to be treated as having a U-Boot style calling
306 convention) and skips the recording of each loaded payload
307 (i.e. loadable) into the FDT (modifying the loaded FDT to
308 ensure this information is available to the next image
311 config SPL_CPU_SUPPORT
312 bool "Support CPU drivers"
314 Enable this to support CPU drivers in SPL. These drivers can set
315 up CPUs and provide information about them such as the model and
316 name. This can be useful in SPL since setting up the CPUs earlier
317 may improve boot performance. Enable this option to build the
318 drivers in drivers/cpu as part of an SPL build.
320 config SPL_CRYPTO_SUPPORT
321 bool "Support crypto drivers"

324 accelerate secure boot processing in secure applications. Enable
325 this option to build the drivers in drivers/crypto as part of an
328 config SPL_HASH_SUPPORT
329 bool "Support hashing drivers"

335 this option to build system-specific drivers for hash acceleration
336 as part of an SPL build.
338 config TPL_HASH_SUPPORT
339 bool "Support hashing drivers in TPL"
343 Enable hashing drivers in SPL. These drivers can be used to

345 this option to build system-specific drivers for hash acceleration
346 as part of an SPL build.
348 config SPL_DMA_SUPPORT
349 bool "Support DMA drivers"
351 Enable DMA (direct-memory-access) drivers in SPL. These drivers
352 can be used to handle memory-to-peripheral data transfer without
353 the CPU moving the data. Enable this option to build the drivers
354 in drivers/dma as part of an SPL build.
356 config SPL_DRIVERS_MISC_SUPPORT
357 bool "Support misc drivers"
359 Enable miscellaneous drivers in SPL. These drivers perform various
360 tasks that don't fall nicely into other categories, Enable this
361 option to build the drivers in drivers/misc as part of an SPL
362 build, for those that support building in SPL (not all drivers do).
364 config SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
365 bool "Support an environment"
367 Enable environment support in SPL. The U-Boot environment provides
368 a number of settings (essentially name/value pairs) which can
369 control many aspects of U-Boot's operation. Normally this is not
370 needed in SPL as it has a much simpler task with less
371 configuration. But some boards use this to support 'Falcon' boot
372 on EXT2 and FAT, where SPL boots directly into Linux without
373 starting U-Boot first. Enabling this option will make env_get()
374 and env_set() available in SPL.
377 bool "Support save environment"
378 depends on SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
379 select SPL_MMC_WRITE if ENV_IS_IN_MMC
381 Enable save environment support in SPL after setenv. By default
382 the saveenv option is not provided in SPL, but some boards need
383 this support in 'Falcon' boot, where SPL need to boot from
384 different images based on environment variable set by OS. For
385 example OS may set "reboot_image" environment variable to
386 "recovery" inorder to boot recovery image by SPL. The SPL read
387 "reboot_image" and act accordingly and change the reboot_image
388 to default mode using setenv and save the environment.
390 config SPL_ETH_SUPPORT
391 bool "Support Ethernet"
392 depends on SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
394 Enable access to the network subsystem and associated Ethernet
395 drivers in SPL. This permits SPL to load U-Boot over an Ethernet
396 link rather than from an on-board peripheral. Environment support
397 is required since the network stack uses a number of environment
398 variables. See also SPL_NET_SUPPORT.
401 bool "Support EXT filesystems"
403 Enable support for EXT2/3/4 filesystems with SPL. This permits
404 U-Boot (or Linux in Falcon mode) to be loaded from an EXT
405 filesystem from within SPL. Support for the underlying block
406 device (e.g. MMC or USB) must be enabled separately.
409 bool "Support FAT filesystems"
412 Enable support for FAT and VFAT filesystems with SPL. This
413 permits U-Boot (or Linux in Falcon mode) to be loaded from a FAT
414 filesystem from within SPL. Support for the underlying block
415 device (e.g. MMC or USB) must be enabled separately.
418 bool "Support write for FAT filesystems"
420 Enable write support for FAT and VFAT filesystems with SPL.
421 Support for the underlying block device (e.g. MMC or USB) must be
424 config SPL_FPGA_SUPPORT
427 Enable support for FPGAs in SPL. Field-programmable Gate Arrays
428 provide software-configurable hardware which is typically used to
429 implement peripherals (such as UARTs, LCD displays, MMC) or
430 accelerate custom processing functions, such as image processing
431 or machine learning. Sometimes it is useful to program the FPGA
432 as early as possible during boot, and this option can enable that
435 config SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT
436 bool "Support GPIO in SPL"
438 Enable support for GPIOs (General-purpose Input/Output) in SPL.
439 GPIOs allow U-Boot to read the state of an input line (high or
440 low) and set the state of an output line. This can be used to
441 drive LEDs, control power to various system parts and read user
442 input. GPIOs can be useful in SPL to enable a 'sign-of-life' LED,
443 for example. Enable this option to build the drivers in
444 drivers/gpio as part of an SPL build.
446 config SPL_I2C_SUPPORT
449 Enable support for the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus in SPL.
450 I2C works with a clock and data line which can be driven by a
451 one or more masters or slaves. It is a fairly complex bus but is
452 widely used as it only needs two lines for communication. Speeds of
453 400kbps are typical but up to 3.4Mbps is supported by some
454 hardware. I2C can be useful in SPL to configure power management
455 ICs (PMICs) before raising the CPU clock speed, for example.
456 Enable this option to build the drivers in drivers/i2c as part of
459 config SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT
460 bool "Support common libraries"
462 Enable support for common U-Boot libraries within SPL. These
463 libraries include common code to deal with U-Boot images,
464 environment and USB, for example. This option is enabled on many
465 boards. Enable this option to build the code in common/ as part of
468 config SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT
469 bool "Support disk partitions"
472 Enable support for disk partitions within SPL. 'Disk' is something
473 of a misnomer as it includes non-spinning media such as flash (as
474 used in MMC and USB sticks). Partitions provide a way for a disk
475 to be split up into separate regions, with a partition table placed
476 at the start or end which describes the location and size of each
477 'partition'. These partitions are typically uses as individual block
478 devices, typically with an EXT2 or FAT filesystem in each. This
479 option enables whatever partition support has been enabled in
480 U-Boot to also be used in SPL. It brings in the code in disk/.
482 config SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
483 bool "Support generic libraries"
485 Enable support for generic U-Boot libraries within SPL. These
486 libraries include generic code to deal with device tree, hashing,

524 allows DRAM to be set up before loading U-Boot into that DRAM,
527 config SPL_MTD_SUPPORT
528 bool "Support MTD drivers"
530 Enable support for MTD (Memory Technology Device) within SPL. MTD
531 provides a block interface over raw NAND and can also be used with
532 SPI flash. This allows SPL to load U-Boot from supported MTD
533 devices. See SPL_NAND_SUPPORT and SPL_ONENAND_SUPPORT for how
534 to enable specific MTD drivers.
536 config SPL_MUSB_NEW_SUPPORT

542 old drivers are in drivers/usb/musb.
544 config SPL_NAND_SUPPORT
545 bool "Support NAND flash"
547 Enable support for NAND (Negative AND) flash in SPL. NAND flash

549 This enables the drivers in drivers/mtd/nand/raw as part of an SPL
552 config SPL_NET_SUPPORT
553 bool "Support networking"
555 Enable support for network devices (such as Ethernet) in SPL.
556 This permits SPL to load U-Boot over a network link rather than

577 used on that CPU. You should not enable it unless you know what
580 config SPL_NOR_SUPPORT
581 bool "Support NOR flash"
583 Enable support for loading U-Boot from memory-mapped NOR (Negative
584 OR) flash in SPL. NOR flash is slow to write but fast to read, and
585 a memory-mapped device makes it very easy to access. Loading from
586 NOR is typically achieved with just a memcpy().
588 config SPL_XIP_SUPPORT
592 Enable support for execute in place of U-Boot or kernel image. There
593 is no need to copy image from flash to ram if flash supports execute
594 in place. Its very useful in systems having enough flash but not
595 enough ram to load the image.
597 config SPL_ONENAND_SUPPORT
598 bool "Support OneNAND flash"
600 Enable support for OneNAND (Negative AND) flash in SPL. OneNAND is
601 a type of NAND flash and therefore can be used to allow SPL to

634 bool "Support PCI drivers"
636 Enable support for PCI in SPL. For platforms that need PCI to boot,

638 necessary driver support. This enables the drivers in drivers/pci
639 as part of an SPL build.
641 config SPL_PCH_SUPPORT
642 bool "Support PCH drivers"
644 Enable support for PCH (Platform Controller Hub) devices in SPL.
645 These are used to set up GPIOs and the SPI peripheral early in
646 boot. This enables the drivers in drivers/pch as part of an SPL
649 config SPL_POST_MEM_SUPPORT
650 bool "Support POST drivers"
652 Enable support for POST (Power-on Self Test) in SPL. POST is a
653 procedure that checks that the hardware (CPU or board) appears to
654 be functionally correctly. It is a sanity check that can be
655 performed before booting. This enables the drivers in post/drivers
656 as part of an SPL build.
659 bool "Support reset drivers"
662 Enable support for reset control in SPL.
663 That can be useful in SPL to handle IP reset in driver, as in U-Boot,
664 by using the generic reset API provided by driver model.
665 This enables the drivers in drivers/reset as part of an SPL build.
667 config SPL_POWER_SUPPORT
668 bool "Support power drivers"
670 Enable support for power control in SPL. This includes support
671 for PMICs (Power-management Integrated Circuits) and some of the
672 features provided by PMICs. In particular, voltage regulators can
673 be used to enable/disable power and vary its voltage. That can be
674 useful in SPL to turn on boot peripherals and adjust CPU voltage
675 so that the clock speed can be increased. This enables the drivers
676 in drivers/power, drivers/power/pmic and drivers/power/regulator
677 as part of an SPL build.
679 config SPL_POWER_DOMAIN
680 bool "Support power domain drivers"
682 Enable support for power domain control in SPL. Many SoCs allow
683 power to be applied to or removed from portions of the SoC (power
684 domains). This may be used to save power. This API provides the
685 means to control such power management hardware. This enables
686 the drivers in drivers/power/domain as part of a SPL build.

708 a remote processor firmware in SPL.
710 config SPL_RTC_SUPPORT
711 bool "Support RTC drivers"
713 Enable RTC (Real-time Clock) support in SPL. This includes support
714 for reading and setting the time. Some RTC devices also have some
715 non-volatile (battery-backed) memory which is accessible if
716 needed. This enables the drivers in drivers/rtc as part of an SPL
719 config SPL_SATA_SUPPORT
720 bool "Support loading from SATA"
722 Enable support for SATA (Serial AT attachment) in SPL. This allows
723 use of SATA devices such as hard drives and flash drivers for
724 loading U-Boot. SATA is used in higher-end embedded systems and
725 can provide higher performance than MMC , at somewhat higher
726 expense and power consumption. This enables loading from SATA
727 using a configured device.
729 config SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
730 bool "Support serial"
734 Enable support for serial in SPL. This allows use of a serial UART
735 for displaying messages while SPL is running. It also brings in
736 printf() and panic() functions. This should normally be enabled
737 unless there are space reasons not to. Even then, consider
738 enabling USE_TINY_PRINTF which is a small printf() version.
740 config SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT
741 bool "Support SPI flash drivers"
743 Enable support for using SPI flash in SPL, and loading U-Boot from
744 SPI flash. SPI flash (Serial Peripheral Bus flash) is named after
745 the SPI bus that is used to connect it to a system. It is a simple
746 but fast bidirectional 4-wire bus (clock, chip select and two data
747 lines). This enables the drivers in drivers/mtd/spi as part of an
748 SPL build. This normally requires SPL_SPI_SUPPORT.

773 Enable support for loading next stage, U-Boot or otherwise, from
774 SPI NOR in U-Boot SPL.
776 endif # SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT
778 config SPL_SPI_SUPPORT
779 bool "Support SPI drivers"
781 Enable support for using SPI in SPL. This is used for connecting
782 to SPI flash for loading U-Boot. See SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT for
783 more details on that. The SPI driver provides the transport for
784 data between the SPI flash and the CPU. This option can be used to
785 enable SPI drivers that are needed for other purposes also, such
789 bool "Driver support for thermal devices"
791 Enable support for temperature-sensing devices. Some SoCs have on-chip
792 temperature sensors to permit warnings, speed throttling or even
793 automatic power-off when the temperature gets too high or low. Other
794 devices may be discrete but connected on a suitable bus.
796 config SPL_USB_HOST_SUPPORT
797 bool "Support USB host drivers"
798 select HAVE_BLOCK_DEVICE
800 Enable access to USB (Universal Serial Bus) host devices so that
801 SPL can load U-Boot from a connected USB peripheral, such as a USB
802 flash stick. While USB takes a little longer to start up than most
803 buses, it is very flexible since many different types of storage
804 device can be attached. This option enables the drivers in
805 drivers/usb/host as part of an SPL build.
807 config SPL_USB_STORAGE
808 bool "Support loading from USB"
809 depends on SPL_USB_HOST_SUPPORT && !(BLK && !DM_USB)
811 Enable support for USB devices in SPL. This allows use of USB
812 devices such as hard drives and flash drivers for loading U-Boot.
813 The actual drivers are enabled separately using the normal U-Boot
814 config options. This enables loading from USB using a configured
817 config SPL_USB_GADGET
818 bool "Suppport USB Gadget drivers"
820 Enable USB Gadget API which allows to enable USB device functions
826 bool "Support USB Ethernet drivers"
828 Enable access to the USB network subsystem and associated
829 drivers in SPL. This permits SPL to load U-Boot over a
830 USB-connected Ethernet link (such as a USB Ethernet dongle) rather
831 than from an onboard peripheral. Environment support is required
832 since the network stack uses a number of environment variables.
833 See also SPL_NET_SUPPORT and SPL_ETH_SUPPORT.
836 bool "Support DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade)"
837 select SPL_HASH_SUPPORT
838 select SPL_DFU_NO_RESET
839 depends on SPL_RAM_SUPPORT
841 This feature enables the DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) in SPL with
842 RAM memory device support. The ROM code will load and execute
843 the SPL built with dfu. The user can load binaries (u-boot/kernel) to
844 selected device partition from host-pc using dfu-utils.
845 This feature is useful to flash the binaries to factory or bare-metal
846 boards using USB interface.
849 bool "DFU device selection"
854 depends on SPL_DFU && SPL_RAM_SUPPORT
856 select RAM/DDR memory device for loading binary images

858 DFU and execute the u-boot/kernel from RAM.
862 config SPL_USB_SDP_SUPPORT
863 bool "Support SDP (Serial Download Protocol)"
865 Enable Serial Download Protocol (SDP) device support in SPL. This
866 allows to download images into memory and execute (jump to) them
867 using the same protocol as implemented by the i.MX family's boot ROM.
870 config SPL_WATCHDOG_SUPPORT
871 bool "Support watchdog drivers"
873 Enable support for watchdog drivers in SPL. A watchdog is
874 typically a hardware peripheral which can reset the system when it
875 detects no activity for a while (such as a software crash). This
876 enables the drivers in drivers/watchdog as part of an SPL build.
878 config SPL_YMODEM_SUPPORT
879 bool "Support loading using Ymodem"
880 depends on SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
882 While loading from serial is slow it can be a useful backup when
883 there is no other option. The Ymodem protocol provides a reliable
884 means of transmitting U-Boot over a serial line for using in SPL,
885 with a checksum to ensure correctness.
888 bool "Support ARM Trusted Firmware"
891 ATF(ARM Trusted Firmware) is a component for ARM AArch64 which
892 is loaded by SPL (which is considered as BL2 in ATF terminology).
893 More detail at: https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware
895 config SPL_ATF_NO_PLATFORM_PARAM
896 bool "Pass no platform parameter"
899 While we expect to call a pointer to a valid FDT (or NULL)
900 as the platform parameter to an ATF, some ATF versions are
901 not U-Boot aware and have an insufficiently robust parameter
902 validation to gracefully reject a FDT being passed.
904 If this option is enabled, the spl_atf os-type handler will
905 always pass NULL for the platform parameter.
907 If your ATF is affected, say Y.
909 config SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC
910 bool "Enable the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based platforms"
913 Enable access to the AM33xx RTC and select the external 32kHz clock

928 If you want to build TPL as well as the normal image and SPL, say Y.
933 bool "Pass hand-off information from TPL to SPL and U-Boot proper"
937 This option enables TPL to write handoff information. This can be
938 used to pass information like the size of SDRAM from TPL to U-Boot
939 proper. The information is also available to SPL if it is useful
942 config TPL_BOARD_INIT
943 bool "Call board-specific initialization in TPL"
945 If this option is enabled, U-Boot will call the function
946 spl_board_init() from board_init_r(). This function should be
947 provided by the board.
950 string "Linker script for the TPL stage"
952 default "arch/arm/cpu/armv8/u-boot-spl.lds" if ARM64
953 default "arch/$(ARCH)/cpu/u-boot-spl.lds"
955 The TPL stage will usually require a different linker-script
956 (as it runs from a different memory region) than the regular
957 U-Boot stage. Set this to the path of the linker-script to
960 May be left empty to trigger the Makefile infrastructure to
961 fall back to the linker-script used for the SPL stage.
963 config TPL_NEEDS_SEPARATE_TEXT_BASE
964 bool "TPL needs a separate text-base"
968 Enable, if the TPL stage should not inherit its text-base
969 from the SPL stage. When enabled, a base address for the
970 .text sections of the TPL stage has to be set below.
972 config TPL_NEEDS_SEPARATE_STACK
973 bool "TPL needs a separate initial stack-pointer"
977 Enable, if the TPL stage should not inherit its initial
978 stack-pointer from the settings for the SPL stage.
981 hex "Base address for the .text section of the TPL stage"
982 depends on TPL_NEEDS_SEPARATE_TEXT_BASE
984 The base address for the .text section of the TPL stage.
987 int "Maximum size (in bytes) for the TPL stage"
991 The maximum size (in bytes) of the TPL stage.
994 hex "Address of the initial stack-pointer for the TPL stage"
995 depends on TPL_NEEDS_SEPARATE_STACK
997 The address of the initial stack-pointer for the TPL stage.
998 Usually this will be the (aligned) top-of-stack.
1000 config TPL_BOOTROM_SUPPORT
1001 bool "Support returning to the BOOTROM (from TPL)"
1003 Some platforms (e.g. the Rockchip RK3368) provide support in their
1004 ROM for loading the next boot-stage after performing basic setup
1007 Enable this option, to return to the BOOTROM through the
1008 BOOT_DEVICE_BOOTROM (or fall-through to the next boot device in the
1009 boot device list, if not implemented for a given board)
1011 config TPL_DRIVERS_MISC_SUPPORT
1012 bool "Support misc drivers in TPL"
1014 Enable miscellaneous drivers in TPL. These drivers perform various
1015 tasks that don't fall nicely into other categories, Enable this
1016 option to build the drivers in drivers/misc as part of an TPL
1017 build, for those that support building in TPL (not all drivers do).
1019 config TPL_ENV_SUPPORT
1020 bool "Support an environment"
1022 Enable environment support in TPL. See SPL_ENV_SUPPORT for details.
1024 config TPL_GPIO_SUPPORT
1025 bool "Support GPIO in TPL"
1027 Enable support for GPIOs (General-purpose Input/Output) in TPL.
1028 GPIOs allow U-Boot to read the state of an input line (high or
1029 low) and set the state of an output line. This can be used to
1030 drive LEDs, control power to various system parts and read user
1031 input. GPIOs can be useful in TPL to enable a 'sign-of-life' LED,
1032 for example. Enable this option to build the drivers in
1033 drivers/gpio as part of an TPL build.
1035 config TPL_I2C_SUPPORT
