[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 12/14] arm: add Faraday specific boot command

Kuo-Jung Su dantesu at gmail.com
Mon Jun 17 14:07:02 CEST 2013


From: Kuo-Jung Su <dantesu at faraday-tech.com>

At the time of writting, none of Faraday NAND & SPI controllers
supports XIP (eXecute In Place). So the Faraday A360/A369 SoC has
to implement a 1st level bootstrap code stored in the embedded ROM
inside the SoC.

After power-on, the ROM code (1st level bootstrap code) would load
the 2nd bootstrap code into SRAM without any SDRAM initialization.

The 2nd bootstrap code would then initialize SDRAM and load the
generic firmware (u-boot/linux) into SDRAM, and finally make
a long-jump to the firmware.

Which means the SPL design of U-boot would never fit to A360/A369,
since it's usually not possible to alter a embedded ROM code.
And because both the 1st & 2nd level bootstrap code use the private
Faraday Firmware Image Format, it would be better to drop U-boot
image support to simplify the design.

Changes for v5:
   - Rename from 'arm: add Faraday firmware image utility'
     into 'arm: add Faraday specific boot command'
   - Add missing CRC check to the command 'bootfa'.
   - Add rationale to the command 'bootfa'.

Changes for v4:
   - Coding Style cleanup.
   - Break up from [arm: add Faraday A36x SoC platform support]

Changes for v3:
   - Coding Style cleanup.
   - Always insert a blank line between declarations and code.

Changes for v2:
   - Coding Style cleanup.

+ * +----------------+ 0x0000
+ * | MAGIC          | Magic number
+ * +----------------+ 0x0004
+ * | HDR LENGTH     | The size of this header

+ * | SYS PARAMETERS | A set of (addr, data) for 32-bit register write,

+ * +----------------+ 0x0108
+ * |                |
+ * | PART TABLE     | A partition table with max. 10 entries.
+ * |                |
+ * +----------------+ 0x03D8
+ * | HDR CHECKSUM   | Header Checksum (CRC32)

+ * | HDR TIMESTAMP  | Header Creation Timestamp
+ * +----------------+ 0x03E4
+ * | RESERVED       |
+ * +----------------+ 0x0400

+ * +----------------+ 0x002C
+ * | Quick CRC      | An optional CRC32 agains 256KB of TOP & BUTTOM.
+ * +----------------+ 0x0030

+ *
+ * The usage of the command 'bootfa' is:
+ *
+ * bootfa <interface> <fw_name>
+ * - boot from 'interface' with the firmware named as <fw_name>
+ *   where 'interface' could be any one of <usb | mmc | nand | sf>
+ *
+ * ex: bootfa usb linux
+ *
+ * The rationale is:
+ *
+ * 1. If 'interface' is either 'usb' or 'mmc/sd', then jumps to 2-a;
+ *    else jumps to 2-b.
+ * 2-a. Translate 'fw_name' to 'filename' from the built-in rules
+ *      (i.e. 'linux' -> 'zimage'), jumps to 3-a.
+ * 2-b. Use 'nand' or 'sf' or 'cp' to load image header into SDRAM,
+ *      and the looking for the 'fw_name' in the partition table.
+ *      If part->name equals 'fw_name', then jumps to 3-b;
+ *      else report an error and exit.
+ * 3-a. Use 'fatload' to load the firmware into SDRAM by filename,
+ *      and then jumps to 4.
+ * 3-b. Use 'nand' or 'sf' or 'cp' to load the firmware into SDRAM
+ *      by .offset & .length of the corresponding partition info,
+ *      and then jumps to 4.
+ * 4. Use 'go' to shift control to the loaded firmware.
