|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
implements a simple method of reading the NVRAM-like data and information
|
|
|
|
|
stored in flash and storing it in the kernel environment. It can then be
|
|
|
|
|
used by various device drivers at boot-time.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The NVRAM-like data is an array of zero terminated strings. Each string contains
|
|
|
|
|
the string name, "=" delimiter and the string value.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
copies the environment values into kernel environment using the kernel setenv call.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration of
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
is done in
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr device.hints 5
|
|
|
|
|
defining the NVRAM base address, fallback base address, maxsize and flags.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
is currently MIPS-specific.
|
|
|
|
|
.Ss base
|
|
|
|
|
base - physical address where data block is stored.
|
|
|
|
|
.Ss fallbackbase
|
|
|
|
|
fallbackbase - physical address where data block is stored, but only
|
|
|
|
|
if not found at base.
|
|
|
|
|
.Ss maxsize
|
|
|
|
|
maxsize - maximum size of data block.
|
|
|
|
|
.Ss flags
|
|
|
|
|
flags - control flags, used to select nvram type and enable/disable CRC check.
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent

|
|
.It Fa 0x0001
|
|
|
|
|
Avoid CRC checking. Currently CRC checking is not implemented, so to be future
|
|
|
|
|
compatible, please set it to "1".
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fa 0x0002
|
|
|
|
|
Use format "Generic", skip uint32_t field, then zero terminating array of
|
|
|
|
|
strings.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fa 0x0004
|
|
|
|
|
Use Broadcom CFE format. uint32_t signature "FLSH", uint32_t size,
|
|
|
|
|
three unused fields uint32_t, then data.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fa 0x0008
|
|
|
|
|
Use U-Boot format, uint32_t crc, then zero terminating array of strings.
