Do not set these options unless they apply! -- Driver Model - Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot - introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively - moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure, - supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in - handling of platform data and device tree. - - To enable transition to driver model in a relatively - painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently - switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new - driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass - interfaces include compatibility features which may be - removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete. - As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact - not change with driver model. - - See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information. - - CONFIG_DM - - Enable driver model. This brings in the core support, - including scanning of platform data on start-up. If - CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be - scanned also when available. - - CONFIG_CMD_DM - - Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print - out the driver model tree and the uclasses. - - CONFIG_DM_DEMO - - Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are - really only useful for playing around while trying to - understand driver model in sandbox. - - CONFIG_SPL_DM - - Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a - suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the - full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START, - consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you - must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size. - In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses - and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See - CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable - it. - - CONFIG_DM_SERIAL - - Enable driver model for serial. This replaces - drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which - implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is - defined in include/serial.h. - - CONFIG_DM_GPIO - - Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO - interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by - the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the - particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface - is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h. - - CONFIG_DM_SPI - - Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface - (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by - the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI - buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in - include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached - as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves - typically use driver-private data instead of extending the - spi_slave structure. - - CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH - - Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface - (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then - implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard - SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips - supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in - include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible - with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication - during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be - enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model - for one and not the other). - - CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC - - Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This - allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI - but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports - I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full - conversion is not yet possible. - - - ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by - default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these - features in SPL. - - CONFIG_DM_WARN - - Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit - of space for its strings. - - CONFIG_DM_STDIO - - Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library. - - CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE - - Enable removing of devices. - - Linux Kernel Interface: CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ |
