[PATCH v2] riscv: Add support for SPI on Kendryte K210

Sean Anderson seanga2 at gmail.com
Wed Dec 23 00:57:18 CET 2020


This enables configs necessary for using SPI. The environment is saved to
the very end of SPI flash. This is unlikely to be overwritten unless the
entire flash is reprogrammed.

This also supplies a default bootcommand. It loads an image and device tree
from the first partition of the MMC. This is a minimal/least effort
bootcmd, so suggestions (especially in the form of patches) are welcome. I
didn't set up distro boot because I think it is unlikely that any
general-purpose linux distros will ever be ported to this board.

Sorry for the late follow-up Jagen.

This patch was previously part of
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=208443

Changes in v2:
- Add CONFIG_HUSH_PARSER to run the bootcmd
  (In my haste I forgot to commit my changes)
