default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
environment 'console=serial'.
+ When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
+ messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
+ the "silent" environment variable. See
+ doc/README.silent for more information.
+

- This will also disable hardware handshake.
+ Leave undefined to disable this feature, including
+ disable the buffer and hardware handshake.
+
+- Console UART Number:

CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
Normally display is black on white background; define
CFG_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
+- 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 supressed and the BMP image at the address
+ specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The

+- DHCP Advanced Options:
+ CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK
+
+ You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by adding
+ these flags to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK define:
+
+ 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.
+ If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
+ 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
+ is added to the CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK.
+
+ CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
+ to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
+ need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
+ If CONFIG_BOOP_SEND_HOSTNAME is added to the
+ CONFIG_BOOTP_MASK, the content of the "hostname"
+ environment variable is passed as option 12 to
+ the DHCP server.
+
+ - CDP Options:
+ CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
+
+ The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
+

+ 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.
+

- to include the appropriate I2C driver.
+ These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of

+ clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
command line interface.
+ CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects the CPM hardware driver for I2C.
+
+ CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
+ bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
+ support for I2C.
- CONFIG_HARD_I2C
+ There are several other quantities that must also be
+ defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
- Selects the CPM hardware driver for I2C.
+ In both cases you will need to define CFG_I2C_SPEED
+ to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
+ to run and CFG_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
+ the cpu's i2c node address).
- CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
+ 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 CFG_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
- Use software (aka bit-banging) driver instead of CPM
- or similar hardware support for I2C. This is configured
- via the following defines.
+ That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
+
+ If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)

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)

I2C_READ
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)
+
I2C_SDA(bit)
If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
is FALSE, it clears it (low).
+ eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
+ if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
+ else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA

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).
+ is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

CFG_I2C_INIT_BOARD
- When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer

"bootm")
+ If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
+ "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
+ (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
+ This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
+ data.
+
+ i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
+ if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
+ mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
+ initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
+ it must be saved and board must be reset.
+
initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB

+ RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of

+ sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
12 MB as well - this can be done with
setenv initrd_high 00c00000
+ If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
+ indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
+ for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
+ memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
+ ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
+ boot time on your system, but requires that this
+ feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
+
ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp",
- "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot"
+ "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
+ ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
+ interface is used first.
+
+ ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
+ interface is currently active. For example you
+ can do the following
+
+ => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET
+ => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET
+ => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET
+ => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET
+
+ netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
+ either succeed or fail without retrying.
+ When set to "once" the network operation will
+ fail when all the available network interfaces
+ are tried once without success.
+ Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
+ themselves.
+
+ vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
+ ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
+ VLAN tagged frames.
The following environment variables may be used and automatically
updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
bootfile - see above
dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
+ dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
hostname - Target hostname
ipaddr - see above

+Further special Environment Variables:
+
+ ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
+ with the "version" command. This variable is
+ readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
+
+
Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
+Command Line Parsing:
+=====================
+
+There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
+the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
+
+Old, simple command line parser:
+--------------------------------
+
+- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
+- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
+- variable substitution using "... $(name) ..." syntax
+- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
+ for example:
+ setenv bootcmd bootm \$(address)
+- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
+ setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
+
+Hush shell:
+-----------
+
+- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
+ if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
+ until...do...done, ...
+- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
+ commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
+ "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
+ command
+
+General rules:
+--------------
+
+(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
+ command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
+ one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
+ executed anyway.
+
+(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
+ calling run with a list af variables as arguments), any failing
+ command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
+ variables are not executed.
