rockchip: Add support for RAM boot from maskrom mode
The BootROM in Rockchip SoCs will enter maskrom mode when boot firmware cannot be found in nand/spi/mmc storage. In maskrom mode the USB OTG port can accept one of two custom commands. Initially a 0x471 command to load TPL into SRAM. After TPL has been executed and it has returned back-to-BROM, a 0x472 command to load SPL into start of DRAM. Add two binman images that can be used to RAM boot from maskrom mode: - u-boot-rockchip-usb471.bin that contains TPL to init DRAM. - u-boot-rockchip-usb472.bin that contains SPL and the normal FIT payload with i.e. U-Boot proper, TF-A and FDT. A config fragment rockchip-ramboot.config can be used to enable building of these two binman images, e.g.: make generic-rk3588_defconfig rockchip-ramboot.config These binman images can be used with the proprietary rkbin boot_merger tool to create a special loader image that can be used with tools such as rkdeveloptool or rockusb tools to RAM boot from maskrom, e.g.: Create loader image: $ ../rkbin/tools/boot_merger ./RK3588MINIALL.ini Boot from maskrom: $ rkdeveloptool db u-boot-rockchip-rk3588-loader.bin or $ rockusb download-boot u-boot-rockchip-rk3588-loader.bin Another option that does not require use of proprietary tools is using open source tools such as rkflashtool or rkusbboot that can load the binman images directly without any need to first create a special loader image to RAM boot from maskrom, e.g.: $ rkflashtool l < u-boot-rockchip-usb471.bin $ rkflashtool L < u-boot-rockchip-usb472.bin or $ rkusbboot u-boot-rockchip-usb471.bin u-boot-rockchip-usb472.bin Signed-off-by: Jonas Karlman <[email protected]> Tested-by: Arnaud Patard <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Kever Yang <[email protected]>
