u-boot.git/arch/arm/lib/Makefile, branch v2023.01

Add in the ability to load and boot an uncompressed kernel image during the Falcon Mode boot sequence.

2022-09-14T19:23:03Z

This is required for architectures which do not support compressed kernel images (i.e. ARM64). This is only used while not booting via FIT image. Signed-off-by: Nathan Barrett-Morrison Cc: Tom Rini Reviewed-by: Tom Rini

ARM: cache: Allow SPL to build cache-pl310.c

2022-09-01T21:18:42Z

Introduce the new Kconfig symbol CONFIG_SPL_SYS_L2_PL310 to allow the SPL to build cache-pl310.c. Before this commit, the SPL could enable the PL310 L2 cache [1], but the cache maintenance functions from cache-pl310.c were only useable for non-SPL builds. After enabling the cache one must be able to flush it, too. Thus this commit allows cache-pl310.c to be included in the SPL build.

arm: init: save previous bootloader data

2022-04-04T18:53:26Z

When u-boot is used as a chain-loaded bootloader (replacing OS kernel), previous bootloader leaves data in RAM, that can be reused. For example, on recent arm linux system, when chainloading u-boot, there are initramfs and fdt in RAM prepared for OS booting. Initramfs may be modified to store u-boot's payload, thus providing the ability to use chainloaded u-boot to boot OS without any storage support. Two config options added: - SAVE_PREV_BL_INITRAMFS_START_ADDR saves initramfs start address to 'prevbl_initrd_start_addr' environment variable - SAVE_PREV_BL_FDT_ADDR saves fdt address to 'prevbl_fdt_addr' environment variable Signed-off-by: Dzmitry Sankouski Cc: Tom Rini

spl: Add semihosting boot method

2022-04-01T19:03:13Z

This adds a boot method for loading the next stage from the host. It is mostly modeled off of spl_load_image_ext. I am not really sure why/how spl_load_image_fat uses three different methods to load the image, but the simple case seems to work OK for now. To control the presence of this boot method, we add a config symbol. While we're at it, we update the original semihosting config symbol. I think semihosting has some advantages of other forms of JTAG boot. Common other ways to boot from JTAG include: - Implementing DDR initialization through JTAG (typically with dozens of lines of TCL) and then loading U-Boot. The DDR initialization typically uses hard-coded register writes, and is not easily adapted to different boards. BOOT_DEVICE_SMH allows booting with SPL, leveraging U-Boot's existing DDR initialization code. This is the method used by NXP's CodeWarrior IDE on Layerscape processors (see AN12270). - Loading a bootloader into SDRAM, waiting for it to initialize DDR, and then loading U-Boot. This is tricky, because the debugger must stop the boot after the bootloader has completed its work. Trying to load U-Boot too early can cause failure to boot. This is the method used by Xilinx with its Zynq(MP) processors. - Loading SPL with BOOT_DEVICE_RAM and breaking before SPL loads the image to load U-Boot at the appropriate place. This can be a bit tricky, because the load address is dependent on the header size. An elf with symbols must also be used in order to stop at the appropriate point. BOOT_DEVICE_SMH can be viewed as an extension of this process, where SPL automatically stops and tells the host where to place the image. Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson

arm64: arch/arm/lib: Add optimized memset/memcpy/memmove functions

2021-09-24T11:48:06Z

Ported from https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines These files are included from this repository, including the latest git commit ID: string/aarch64/memcpy.S: afd6244a1f8d string/aarch64/memset.S: e823e3abf5f8 string/asmdefs.h: e823e3abf5f8 Note that memmove is also handled by the memcpy function. Please note that when adding these optimized functions as default memset memcpy functions in U-Boot, U-Boot fails to boot on the LX2160ARDB. After the initial ATF output, no U-Boot output is shown on the serial console. Some exception is triggered here in the very early boot process as some of the assembler opcodes need the caches to be enabled. Because of this, a follow-up patch will add a check to use a simple non-optimized memset for the "cache disabled" case. Note: I also integrated and tested with the Linux versions of these optimized functions. They are similar to the ones now integrated but these ARM versions are still a small bit faster.
