[U-Boot] [PATCH 5/5] RFC: sunxi: WIP FEL support
Simon Glass

Wed Feb 4 05:18:54 CET 2015
(What does FEL stand for?)
This is an attempt to make sunxi's FEL code fit with the normal U-Boot
boot sequence instead of creating its own.
Most of the FEL special-case code is removed, although I may have gone too
far with my changes to generate a u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin file even when
FEL is enabled. This may not be possible since the MMC stack makes SPL
too large for FEL anyway, although it may be possible for other boot
mediums.
This series is available at u-boot-dm, branch sunxi-working.

+ This enables support for <insert_full_name_here> (FEL) mode. This
+ allows U-Boot to be loaded to the board over USB by the on-chip

+ 'fel write 0x2000 u-boot-spl.bin; fel exe 0x2000' then U-Boot with
+ 'fel write 0x4a000000 u-boot.bin; fel exe 0x4a000000'. This option
+ shrinks the amount of SRAM available to SPL, so only enable it if
+ you need FEL (why? what do we lose?). Note that enabling this option
+ only allows FEL to be used; it is still possible to boot U-Boot from
+ boot media. U-Boot SPL detects when it is being loaded using FEL.
