config HAS_FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET
	bool
	help
	  This option is selected by targets having a FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET
	  and FLASH_LOAD_SIZE.

if !HAS_DTS
config FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET
	hex "Kernel load offset"
	default 0
	depends on HAS_FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET
	help
	  This option specifies the byte offset from the beginning of flash that
	  the kernel should be loaded into. Changing this value from zero will
	  affect the Zephyr image's link, and will decrease the total amount of
	  flash available for use by application code.

	  If unsure, leave at the default value 0.

config FLASH_LOAD_SIZE
	hex "Kernel load size"
	default 0
	depends on HAS_FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET
	help
	  If non-zero, this option specifies the size, in bytes, of the flash
	  area that the Zephyr image will be allowed to occupy.  If zero, the
	  image will be able to occupy from the FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET to the end of
	  the device.

	  If unsure, leave at the default value 0.
endif

config TEXT_SECTION_OFFSET
	hex "TEXT section offset"
	default 0
	default 0x200 if BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT
	help
	  If the application is built for chain-loading by a bootloader this
	  variable is required to be set to value that leaves sufficient
	  space between the beginning of the image and the start of the .text
	  section to store an image header or any other metadata.
	  In the particular case of the MCUboot bootloader this reserves enough
	  space to store the image header, which should also meet vector table
	  alignment requirements on most ARM targets, although some targets
	  may require smaller or larger values.

config HAVE_CUSTOM_LINKER_SCRIPT
	prompt "Custom linker scripts provided"
	def_bool n
	help
	  Set this option if you have a custom linker script which needed to
	  be define in CUSTOM_LINKER_SCRIPT.

config CUSTOM_LINKER_SCRIPT
	string "Path to custom linker script"
	default ""
	depends on HAVE_CUSTOM_LINKER_SCRIPT
	help
	  Path to the linker script to be used instead of the one define by the
	  board.

	  The linker script must be based on a version provided by Zephyr since
	  the kernel can expect a certain layout/certain regions.

	  This is useful when an application needs to add sections into the
	  linker script and avoid having to change the script provided by
	  Zephyr.

config CUSTOM_RODATA_LD
	bool "Include custom-rodata.ld"
	default n
	help
	  Include a customized linker script fragment for inserting additional
	  data and linker directives into the rodata section.

config CUSTOM_RWDATA_LD
	bool "Include custom-rwdata.ld"
	default n
	help
	  Include a customized linker script fragment for inserting additional
	  data and linker directives into the data section.

config CUSTOM_SECTIONS_LD
	bool "Include custom-sections.ld"
	default n
	help
	  Include a customized linker script fragment for inserting additional
	  arbitrary sections.

config LINK_WHOLE_ARCHIVE
	bool "Allow linking with --whole-archive"
	default n
	help
	  This options allows linking external libraries with the
	  --whole-archive option to keep all symbols.

config KERNEL_ENTRY
	string "Kernel entry symbol"
	default "__start"
	help
	  Code entry symbol, to be set at linking phase.

config CHECK_LINK_MAP
	bool "Check linker map"
	default y
	help
	  Run a linker address generation validity checker at the end of the
	  build.

menu "Compiler Options"

config CROSS_COMPILE
	string "Cross-compiler tool prefix"
	help
	  Same as running 'make CROSS_COMPILE=prefix-' but stored for
	  default make runs in this kernel build directory.  You don't
	  need to set this unless you want the configured kernel build
	  directory to select the cross-compiler automatically.

config NATIVE_APPLICATION
	bool "Build as a native host application"
	default n
	help
	  Build as a native application that can run on the host and using
	  resources and libraries provided by the host.

choice
	prompt "Optimization level"
	default NO_OPTIMIZATIONS    if COVERAGE
	default DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS if DEBUG
	default SIZE_OPTIMIZATIONS
	help
	  Note that these flags shall only control the compiler
	  optimization level, and that no extra debug code shall be
	  conditionally compiled based on them.

config SIZE_OPTIMIZATIONS
	bool "Optimize for size"
	help
	  Compiler optimizations will be set to -Os independently of other
	  options.

config DEBUG_OPTIMIZATIONS
	bool "Optimize debugging experience"
	help
	  Compiler optimizations will be set to -Og independently of other
	  options.

config NO_OPTIMIZATIONS
	bool "Optimize nothing"
	help
	  Compiler optimizations will be set to -O0 independently of other
	  options.

endchoice

config COMPILER_OPT
	string
	prompt "Custom compiler options"
	default ""
	help
	  This option is a free-form string that is passed to the compiler
	  when building all parts of a project (i.e. kernel).
	  The compiler options specified by this string supplement the
	  predefined set of compiler supplied by the build system,
	  and can be used to change compiler optimization, warning and error
	  messages, and so on.

config TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT
	string "Cross-compiler variant name"
	help
	  For optimized compilers with reduced features, specify the name
	  of the variant.

config KERNEL_BIN_NAME
	string "The kernel binary name"
	default "zephyr"
	help
	  This option sets the name of the generated kernel binary.

config OUTPUT_STAT
	bool "Create a statistics file"
	default y
	help
	  Create a stat file using readelf -e <elf>

config OUTPUT_DISASSEMBLY
	bool "Create a disassembly file"
	default y
	help
	  Create an .lst file with the assembly listing of the firmware.

config OUTPUT_PRINT_MEMORY_USAGE
	bool "Print memory usage to stdout"
	default y
	help
	  If the toolchain supports it, this option will pass
	  --print-memory-region to the linker when it is doing it's first
	  linker pass. Note that the memory regions are symbolic concepts
	  defined by the linker scripts and do not necessarily map
	  directly to the real physical address space. Take also note that
	  some platforms do two passes of the linker so the results do not
	  match exactly to the final elf file. See also rom_report,
	  ram_report and
	  https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/MEMORY.html

config BUILD_OUTPUT_HEX
	bool "Build a binary in HEX format"
	default n
	help
	  Build a binary in HEX format. This will build a zephyr.hex file need
	  by some platforms.

config BUILD_OUTPUT_BIN
	bool "Build a binary in BIN format"
	default y
	help
	  Build a binary in BIN format. This will build a zephyr.bin file need
	  by some platforms.

config BUILD_OUTPUT_EXE
	bool "Build a binary in ELF format with .exe extension"
	default n
	help
	  Build a binary in ELF format that can run in the host system. This
	  will build a zephyr.exe file.

	default n
	help
	  Enable Performance Metrics.

config BOOT_TIME_MEASUREMENT
	bool
	prompt "Boot time measurements [EXPERIMENTAL]"
	default n
	depends on PERFORMANCE_METRICS
	help
	  This option enables the recording of timestamps during system start
	  up. The global variable __start_time_stamp records the time kernel begins
	  executing, while __main_time_stamp records when main() begins executing,
	  and __idle_time_stamp records when the CPU becomes idle. All values are
	  recorded in terms of CPU clock cycles since system reset.

config CPU_CLOCK_FREQ_MHZ
	int
	prompt "CPU Clock Frequency in MHz"
	default 20
	depends on BOOT_TIME_MEASUREMENT
	help
	  This option specifies the CPU Clock Frequency in MHz in order to
	  convert Intel RDTSC timestamp to microseconds.

config STATS
	bool
	prompt "Statistics support"
	default n
	help
	  Enable per-module event counters for troubleshooting, maintenance,
	  and usage monitoring.  Statistics can be retrieved with the mcumgr
	  management subsystem.

config STATS_NAMES
	bool
	prompt "Statistic names"
	depends on STATS
	default n
	help
	  Include a full name string for each statistic in the build.  If this
	  setting is disabled, statistics are assigned generic names of the
	  form "s0", "s1", etc.  Enabling this setting simplifies debugging,
	  but results in a larger code size.
endmenu

menu "Boot Options"

config IS_BOOTLOADER
	bool "Act as a bootloader"
	default n
	depends on XIP
	depends on ARM
	help
	  This option indicates that Zephyr will act as a bootloader to execute
	  a separate Zephyr image payload.

config BOOTLOADER_SRAM_SIZE
	int "SRAM reserved for when Zephyr acts as a bootloader"
	default 16
	depends on !XIP || IS_BOOTLOADER
	depends on ARM

	  This option specifies the amount of SRAM (measure in kB) reserved for
	  when Zephyr is to act as a bootloader.

config BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT
	bool
	prompt "MCUboot bootloader support"
	default n
	help
	  This option signifies that the target uses MCUboot as a bootloader,
	  or in other words that the image is to be chain-loaded by MCUboot.
	  This sets several required build system and Device Tree options in
	  order for the image generated to be bootable using the MCUboot open
	  source bootloader. Currently this includes:

	    * Setting TEXT_LOAD_OFFSET to a default value that allows space for
	      the MCUboot image header
	    * Activating SW_VECTOR_RELAY on Cortex-M0 (or Armv8-M baseline)
	      targets with no built-in vector relocation mechanisms
	    * Including dts/common/mcuboot.overlay when building the Device
	      Tree in order to place and link the image at the slot0 offset

config BOOTLOADER_KEXEC
	bool
	prompt "Boot using Linux kexec() system call"
	depends on X86
	default n
	help
	  This option signifies that Linux boots the kernel using kexec system call
	  and utility. This method is used to boot the kernel over the network.

config BOOTLOADER_UNKNOWN
	bool
	prompt "Generic boot loader support"
	default n
	depends on X86
	help
	  This option signifies that the target has a generic bootloader
	  or that it supports multiple ways of booting and it isn't clear
	  at build time which method is to be used. When this option is enabled
	  the board may have to do extra work to ensure a proper startup.

config BOOTLOADER_CONTEXT_RESTORE
	bool
	prompt "Boot loader has context restore support"
	default y
	depends on SYS_POWER_DEEP_SLEEP && BOOTLOADER_CONTEXT_RESTORE_SUPPORTED
	help
	  This option signifies that the target has a bootloader
	  that restores CPU context upon resuming from deep sleep
	  power state.

config REBOOT
	bool "Reboot functionality"
	default n
	select SYSTEM_CLOCK_DISABLE
	help
	  Enable the sys_reboot() API. Enabling this can drag in other subsystems
	  needed to perform a "safe" reboot (e.g. SYSTEM_CLOCK_DISABLE, to stop the
	  system clock before issuing a reset).
