Handle most LDSCRIPT setting centrally

2011-04-29T22:59:47+00:00

Currently, some linker scripts are found by common code in config.mk.
Some are found using CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT, but the code for that is
sometimes in arch config.mk and sometimes in board config.mk.  Some
are found using an arch-specific rule for looking in CPUDIR, etc.

Further, the powerpc config.mk rule relied on CONFIG_NAND_SPL
when it really wanted CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT -- which covered up the fact
that not all NAND_U_BOOT builds actually wanted CPUDIR/u-boot-nand.lds.

Replace all of this -- except for a handful of boards that are actually
selecting a linker script in a unique way -- with centralized ldscript
finding.

If board code specifies LDSCRIPT, that will be used.
Otherwise, if CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT is specified, that will be used.

If neither of these are specified, then the central config.mk will
check for the existence of the following, in order:

$(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT)
$(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT)
$(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot.lds
$(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot.lds

Some boards (sc3, cm5200, munices) provided their own u-boot.lds that
were dead code, because they were overridden by a CPUDIR u-boot.lds under
the old powerpc rules.  These boards' own u-boot.lds have bitrotted and
no longer work -- these lds files have been removed.

nios2: reset cfi flash before reading env

2011-04-08T13:02:27+00:00

Flash might be in unknown state when u-boot is started with jtag.
And got wrong env data. So reset it in board early init.

We cannot use generic cfi flash routines, because flash_init() is
not run yet.

rename _end to __bss_end__

2011-03-27T17:18:37+00:00

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section.  We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

Switch from archive libraries to partial linking

2010-11-17T20:02:18+00:00

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

Rename TEXT_BASE into CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE

2010-10-18T20:07:10+00:00

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.

Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

nios2: remove EP1C20, EP1S10, EP1S40 boards

2010-07-12T15:40:12+00:00

The example configuration files of nios2-generic board can generated
binary to run on the EP1C20, EP1S10, and EP1S40 boards. So the three
boards can be removed.

With nios2-generic approach, the fpga parameter header file can
be generated from hardware designs using tools. Porting u-boot for
nios2 boards is simplified. Vendors can supply their fpga parameter
file or patches to add a new nios2-generic board instance. There is
no need to include other boards support for nios2 in the u-boot
mainline.

nios2: add spi flash support to nios2-generic board

2010-07-12T15:35:30+00:00

This patch enables the altera_spi and spi_flash drivers for the
nios2-generic board. It allows access to the EPCS/SPI flash on
the Altera EP1C20 board.
