+
+ CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
+
+ Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
+ XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
+ be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
+
- Linux Kernel Interface:
CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
+ CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
+
+ This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
+ machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
+ number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
+ (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
+ Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
+ in a single configuration file and the machine type is
+ runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
+
- vxWorks boot parameters:
bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
the defaults discussed just above.
+- Cache Configuration:
+ CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
+ CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
+ CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot

+ CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310

- Serial Ports:
CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
+ CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
+
+ Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
+ have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
+ this variable to initialize the extra register.
+
+ CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
+
+ On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
+ boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
+ variable to flush the UART at init time.
+
- Console Interface:
Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
the SMC.
+- Pre-Console Buffer:
+ Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
+ initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
+ Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
+ buffer any console messages prior to the console being
+ initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
+ bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
+ a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
+ bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
+ earlier bytes are discarded.
+
+ 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
+ CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

+- Device tree:
+ CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
+ If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
+ to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
+ compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
+ experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
+ tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
+
+ U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
+ be done using one of the two options below:
+
+ CONFIG_OF_EMBED
+ If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
+ binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
+ board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
+ is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
+ the global data structure as gd->blob.
+
+ CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
+ If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
+ binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
+ code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
+
+ cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
+
+ and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
+ u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
+ still use the individual files if you need something more
+ exotic.
+
- Watchdog:
CONFIG_WATCHDOG
If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog

+ available, then no further board specific code should
+ be needed to use it.

+ SoC, then define this variable and provide board
+ specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.

+The following image location variables contain the location of images

+not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
+variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
+server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
+loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
+flash or offset in NAND flash.

Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
to access small data sections, so gp is free.
+On NDS32, the following registers are used:
+
+ R0-R1: argument/return
+ R2-R5: argument
+ R15: temporary register for assembler
+ R16: trampoline register
+ R28: frame pointer (FP)
+ R29: global pointer (GP)
+ R30: link register (LP)
+ R31: stack pointer (SP)
+ PC: program counter (PC)
+
+ ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data

NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
