The Raspberry Pi config.txt file is read by the GPU before the ARM core is initialised. It can be used to set various system configuration parameters.

This file is an optional file on the boot partition. It would normally be accessible as /boot/config.txt from Linux.

The information below originally came from Dom in this forum post.

WARNING: Setting any of the parameters which over volt your Raspberry Pi will set a permanant bit within the SOC and your warranty is void. So If you care about the warranty do not adjust voltage.

File format

The format is "property=value". value is an integer. One option per line. # is comment character. E.g.

arm_freq=800
#hdmi_mode=19
sdtv_mode=2
overscan_left=32
overscan_right=32
overscan_top=32
overscan_bottom=32

Overclocking options

Option Description
arm_freq frequency of ARM in MHz. Default 700.
gpu_freq Sets core_freq, h264_freq, isp_freq, v3d_freq together.
core_freq frequency of GPU processor core in MHz. Default 250.
h264_freq frequency of hardware video block in MHz. Default 250.
isp_freq frequency of image sensor pipeline block in MHz. Default 250.
v3d_freq frequency of 3D block in MHz. Default 250.
sdram_freq frequency of SDRAM in MHz. Default 400.
over_voltage ARM/GPU core voltage adjust. [-16,8] equates to [0.8V,1.4V]. Default 0 (1.2V)
over_voltage_sdram Sets over_voltage_sdram_c, over_voltage_sdram_i, over_voltage_sdram_p together
over_voltage_sdram_c SDRAM controller voltage adjust. [-16,8] equates to [0.8V,1.4V]. Default 0 (1.2V)
over_voltage_sdram_i SDRAM I/O voltage adjust. [-16,8] equates to [0.8V,1.4V]. Default 0 (1.2V)
over_voltage_sdram_p SDRAM phy voltage adjust. [-16,8] equates to [0.8V,1.4V]. Default 0 (1.2V)

Video mode options

Option Description
sdtv_mode composite tv mode. Default is 0 (NTSC)
sdtv_aspect composite aspect ratio. Default is 1 (4:3)
hdmi_mode hdmi mode. Default is negotiated with display.
overscan_left number of pixels to skip on left
overscan_right number of pixels to skip on right
overscan_top number of pixels to skip on top
overscan_bottom number of pixels to skip on bottom
framebuffer_width console framebuffer width in pixels. Default matches display.
framebuffer_height console framebuffer height in pixels. Default matches display.
test_mode enable test sound/image during boot for manufacturing test.
enable_l2cache enable arm access to GPU's L2 cache. Needs corresponding L2 enabled kernel. Default 0.
