4 mainmenu "Linux/Xtensa Kernel Configuration"
14 Xtensa processors are 32-bit RISC machines designed by Tensilica
15 primarily for embedded systems. These processors are both
16 configurable and extensible. The Linux port to the Xtensa
17 architecture supports all processor configurations and extensions,
18 with reasonable minimum requirements. The Xtensa Linux project has
19 a home page at <http://xtensa.sourceforge.net/>.

39 menu "Processor type and features"
42 prompt "Xtensa Processor Configuration"
43 default XTENSA_CPU_LINUX_BE
45 config XTENSA_CPU_LINUX_BE
48 The linux_be processor configuration is the baseline Xtensa
49 configurations included in this kernel and also used by
50 binutils, gcc, and gdb. It contains no TIE, no coprocessors,
51 and the following configuration options:
53 Code Density Option 2 Misc Special Registers
54 NSA/NSAU Instructions 128-bit Data Bus Width
55 Processor ID 8K, 2-way I and D Caches
56 Zero-Overhead Loops 2 Inst Address Break Registers
57 Big Endian 2 Data Address Break Registers
58 64 General-Purpose Registers JTAG Interface and Trace Port
59 17 Interrupts MMU w/ TLBs and Autorefill
60 3 Interrupt Levels 8 Autorefill Ways (I/D TLBs)
61 3 Timers Unaligned Exceptions
68 config XTENSA_UNALIGNED_USER
69 bool "Unaligned memory access in use space"
71 The Xtensa architecture currently does not handle unaligned
72 memory accesses in hardware but through an exception handler.
73 Per default, unaligned memory accesses are disabled in user space.
75 Say Y here to enable unaligned memory access in user space.
78 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
80 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
81 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
82 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
83 Unfortunately the kernel code has some race conditions if both
84 CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_PREEMPT are enabled, so this option is
85 currently disabled if you are building an SMP kernel.
87 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
88 or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
93 Can we use information of configuration file?
96 bool "High memory support"
100 menu "Platform options"
103 prompt "Xtensa System Type"
104 default XTENSA_PLATFORM_ISS
106 config XTENSA_PLATFORM_ISS
109 ISS is an acronym for Tensilica's Instruction Set Simulator.
111 config XTENSA_PLATFORM_XT2000
114 XT2000 is the name of Tensilica's feature-rich emulation platform.
115 This hardware is capable of running a full Linux distribution.
120 config XTENSA_CALIBRATE_CCOUNT
121 bool "Auto calibration of the CPU clock rate"
123 On some platforms (XT2000, for example), the CPU clock rate can
124 vary. The frequency can be determined, however, by measuring
125 against a well known, fixed frequency, such as an UART oscillator.
127 config XTENSA_CPU_CLOCK
128 int "CPU clock rate [MHz]"
129 depends on !XTENSA_CALIBRATE_CCOUNT
132 config GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
133 bool "Auto calibration of the BogoMIPS value"
135 The BogoMIPS value can easily derived from the CPU frequency.
138 bool "Default bootloader kernel arguments"
141 string "Initial kernel command string"
142 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
143 default "console=ttyS0,38400 root=/dev/ram"
145 On some architectures (EBSA110 and CATS), there is currently no way
146 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
147 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
148 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
149 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
151 config SERIAL_CONSOLE
153 depends on XTENSA_PLATFORM_ISS
156 config XTENSA_ISS_NETWORK
158 depends on XTENSA_PLATFORM_ISS
166 bool "PCI support" if !XTENSA_PLATFORM_ISS
167 depends on !XTENSA_PLATFORM_ISS
170 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
171 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
172 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
173 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
175 The PCI-HOWTO, available from
176 <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
177 information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
180 source "drivers/pci/Kconfig"
184 bool "Support for hot-pluggable devices"
186 Say Y here if you want to plug devices into your computer while
187 the system is running, and be able to use them quickly. In many
188 cases, the devices can likewise be unplugged at any time too.
190 One well known example of this is PCMCIA- or PC-cards, credit-card
191 size devices such as network cards, modems or hard drives which are
192 plugged into slots found on all modern laptop computers. Another
193 example, used on modern desktops as well as laptops, is USB.
195 Enable HOTPLUG and KMOD, and build a modular kernel. Get agent
196 software (at <http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/>) and install it.
197 Then your kernel will automatically call out to a user mode "policy
198 agent" (/sbin/hotplug) to load modules and set up software needed
199 to use devices as you hotplug them.

203 source "drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig"
207 menu "Exectuable file formats"
215 If you enabled support for /proc file system then the file
216 /proc/kcore will contain the kernel core image in ELF format. This
219 $ cd /usr/src/linux ; gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore
221 This is especially useful if you have compiled the kernel with the
222 "-g" option to preserve debugging information. It is mainly used
223 for examining kernel data structures on the live kernel.

237 bool "Embed root filesystem ramdisk into the kernel"
239 config EMBEDDED_RAMDISK_IMAGE
240 string "Filename of gziped ramdisk image"
241 depends on EMBEDDED_RAMDISK
244 This is the filename of the ramdisk image to be built into the
245 kernel. Relative pathnames are relative to arch/xtensa/boot/ramdisk/.
246 The ramdisk image is not part of the kernel distribution; you must
247 provide one yourself.
