[U-Boot] flashing and testing u-boot on chromebook_bob

[Sahaj Sarup]

Hi Simon,

Been a couple of weeks. I have obtained a SuzyQable and its working
well with bob. I can see RxTx from Cr50, AP and EC. On mainline linux
from ArchLinuxArm I can see earlyprintk as well. However I am still
stuck on the u-boot end.

Just to make sure I didn't miss anything, I'm laying down all the
steps that I followed to have u-boot chainloaded from depthcharge on
bob.

1. Build U-boot
- Build bl31 as in README.rockchip. export bl31.elf as BL31 env
- change CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE to 0x20000100
    - 0x20000000 From
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/depthcharge/+/refs/heads/master/board/bob/defconfig#11
    - 0x100 padding for fit image.
- make chromebook_bob_defconfig
- make

2. Create Fit Image (some hints taken from
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/C101PA)
- Using the following .its
```
/dts-v1/;

/ {
    description = "U-Boot + FDT -------- THIS PADDING IS NEEDED SO THE
IMAGE STARTS AT THE RIGHT OFFSET";
    #address-cells = <1>;

    images {

        kernel at 1 {
            description = "kernel";
            data = /incbin/("../../u-boot.bin");
            type = "kernel_noload";
            os = "linux";
            arch = "arm64";
            compression = "none";
            load = <0>;
            entry = <0>;
        };
        fdt at 1 {
            description = "rk3399-gru-bob.dtb";
            data = /incbin/("../../arch/arm/dts/rk3399-gru-bob.dtb");
            type = "flat_dt";
            arch = "arm64";
            compression = "none";
            hash at 1 {
                                algo = "sha1";
                        };
        };

    };
    configurations {
        default = "conf at 1";
        conf at 1 {
            kernel = "kernel at 1";
            fdt = "fdt at 1";
        };

    };

};
```

- mkimage -D "-I dts -O dtb -p 2048" -f
doc/chromium/chromebook_bob.its ./u-boot-chromium.fit

- Made sure that the offset is 0x100

```
[sahaj at fedora-work u-boot]$ hexdump u-boot.bin | head

[sahaj at fedora-work u-boot]$
```

- Created bootloader offset: dd if=/dev/zero of=bootloader.bin bs=512 count=1

- Build image: vbutil_kernel --pack u-boot.kpart --version 1 --vmlinuz
u-boot-chromium.fit --arch aarch64 --keyblock
doc/chromium/devkeys/kernel.keyblock --signprivate
doc/chromium/devkeys/kernel_data_key.vbprivk --config dummy.txt
--bootloader bootloader.bin


3. Flash and boot:

- SDCard kernel part: cgpt add -i 1 -t kernel -b 8192 -s 65536 -l
Kernel -S 1 -T 5 -P 10 /dev/sda
- sudo dd if=u-boot.kpart of=/dev/sdd1
- On the dev mode screen select ctrl+u
- ttyUSB1 (AP COnsole) remains blank
- power led is solid
- keep power button pressed for 10 sec for poweroff
