[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi][PATCH v5] u-boot: Simplify boot script

Paul Barker paul at paulbarker.me.uk
Wed Nov 30 13:02:39 PST 2016


From: Jonathan Liu <net147 at gmail.com>

A patch is backported to check if the firmware loaded a device tree blob
into memory and set the fdt_addr variable if it is found. The U-Boot
script will then read the command line arguments generated by the
firmware from the device tree and boot the kernel with the command
line arguments and the loaded device tree.

This allows things like MAC address, board revision and serial number
to be correctly configured and options in config.txt to be used.

An additional patch is backported and further changes are made to support
this.

Changes in v5:
 - Backport an additional patch and make further changes to support u-boot
   v2016.03
Changes in v4:
 - Backport patch from upstream instead of using own patch
Changes in v3:
 - Removed incorrect check if fdt_addr_r is already set. The check
   condition was inverted and fdt_addr_r variable is always set to
   0x100 by default.
Changes in v2:
 - Instead of setting device_tree_address to 0x100 in config.txt, patch
   U-Boot to detect the device tree blob address if it was loaded.

+Implement a hook to allow boards to save boot-time CPU state for later

+contain useful information such as system configuration information. This
+feature mirrors the equivalent ARMv7 feature.

+Subject: [PATCH] rpi: passthrough of the firmware provided FDT blob
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Raspberry firmware used to pass a FDT blob at a fixed address (0x100),
+but this is not true anymore. The address now depends on both the
+memory size and the blob size [1].
+
+If one wants to passthrough this FDT blob to the kernel, the most
+reliable way is to save its address from the r2/x0 register in the
+U-Boot entry point and expose it in a environment variable for
+further processing.
+
+This patch just does this:
+- save the provided address in the global variable fw_dtb_pointer
+- expose it in ${fdt_addr} if it points to a a valid FDT blob
+
+There are many different ways to use it. One can, for example, use
+the following script which will extract from the tree the command
+line built by the firmware, then hand over the blob to a previously
+loaded kernel:
+
+fdt addr ${fdt_addr}
+fdt get value bootargs /chosen bootargs
+bootz ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr}
+
+Alternatively, users relying on sysboot/pxe can simply omit any FDT
+statement in their extlinux.conf file, U-Boot will automagically pick
+${fdt_addr} and pass it to the kernel.
