[U-Boot] Nokia RX-51 (N900) board broken

[Pali Rohár]

Hello,

here are commands how to compile u-boot for nokia n900, convert 
uboot image into n900 nand MTD file and run it under linaro arm 
version of qemu (upstream version of qemu have not merged n900 
support yet):

$ export ARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
$ make nokia_rx51_config
$ make
$ qflasher -x xloader-qemu.bin -s secondary-qemu.bin \
  -k u-boot.bin -m rx51 -o u-boot.mtd
$ qemu-system-arm -M n900 -mtdblock u-boot.mtd -serial /dev/tty

You need:
* qflasher - Nokia generator of nand MTD image with CAL data
* xloader-qemu.bin - Nokia first stage bootloader (X-Loader)
* secondary-qemu.bin - Nokia second stage bootloader (NOLO)
* qemu-system-arm - Linaro arm version of qemu

Linaro arm version of qemu can be downloaded e.g. from ubuntu: 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/qemu-linaro
(I'm using this version)

Nokia qflasher and bootloaders are proprietary and closed source 
but could be found on internet. License allows to redistribute 
binaries for non commercial purposes. If you are unable to find 
it on internet anymore (originally they were hosted on website 
repo.meego.com before intel turned it off) and you are OK with 
that license, I can send you needed files.
