Hi,
hopefully the final version of the SPL support series for the Allwinner A64
SoC. Actually no real code changes this time, just rebased on top of recent
master, adding some comments in patches 16/26 and 19/26 following Maxime's
suggestions and adding Acked-by:s and Reviewed-by:s.
I left the final patch 26/26 in for the sake of completeness, but don't expect
it to be merged. We need a clever solution to unify 32-bit and 64-bit board
configurations, but that shouldn't hold back this series for now.
Merging everything until and including patch 21/26 (sunxi: A64: enable SPL)
would be great, the other patches until 25/26 can go in as well, I think.
-------------
As the previous versions this one includes support for both AArch64 and
AArch32 SPL builds. The FIT support is still missing, which means the
functionality is limited. Due to the missing ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)
in this firmware chain we lose Ethernet and SMP, among other minor things.
A full 64-bit build can be written to an SD card as expected and will
boot the U-Boot proper prompt. However Linux will crash on boot, as
PSCI is missing.
Building the 32-bit version of the SPL and combining this with an ATF
build and the 64-bit U-Boot proper allows to use FEL booting now:
# sunxi-fel spl sunxi-spl.bin write 0x4a000000 u-boot-dtb.bin \
write 0x44000 bl31.bin reset64 0x44000
This way of booting the board gives full functionality.
The first patch is a rather simple fix (with no changes to v2).
Patches 2-8 prepare the SPL code to be compiled for 64-bit in general and
AArch64 in particular.
Patches 9-11 refactor the existing boot0 header functionality to be used
by patch 12, which introduces the 64-bit switch in the first SPL
instructions.
Patches 13-20 then introduce the actual core of the SPL support: the DRAM
initialization, courtesy of Jens. This piggy backs on the existing
H3 DRAM code, deviating where needed. This has been reworked compared to
v2: I added a patch from Philipp to replace the rather uninspired
register writes in the MBUS priority setup function with some meaningful
code, explaining the various bits. Also the actual A64 DRAM code is no
longer #ifdef'ed into the H3 driver, but uses parameters to (static)
functions. The compiler detects this and removes the dead code from
the other variant, resulting in the same binary size for the H3.
Patch 21 finally enables the 64-bit SPL support. So now building the
existing pine64_plus_defconfig will generate a sunxi-spl.bin, which
can be prepended to the U-Boot proper image (not .bin) to boot from
an SD card. Due to the missing ATF support this is of limited usability
at the moment, though. Also FEL support requires more love - to switch
back to AArch32 before returning to FEL (without crashing, that is ;-),
so this is disabled.
On my setup this results in a 26KB SPL binary, which is close to the
28K limit mksunxiboot imposes at the moment. Adding anything (like
FIT support or DEBUG) will exceed this, and although I have patches
to let mksunxiboot get close to 32KB, this is the ulimate frontier.
So patches 22-25 then teach the SPL how to detect an U-Boot image file
of a different bitness and do the RMR switch from AArch32 to AArch64,
if needed.
This is used by the final patch 26, which creates another _defconfig
to let the SPL compile for AArch32 using the Thumb2 encoding. This
results in a binary of less than 17KB in my case, so has plenty of
room for extensions.
Cheers,
Andre.
