MORIN 0 siblings, 2 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Matt Flax @ 2019-01-03 11:00 UTC (permalink / raw) To: buildroot This patch enables the inclusion of the Pi's overlays. Previously the overlays were not included in the genimage configuration. This patch ensures overlays are included in the sdcard (when enabled) by defaulting to the inclusion of an empty output/images/rpi-firmware/overlays directory in genimage cfg. The Pi's overlays are built with the following config variables: BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE=y BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTBS=y BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS=y BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_TARGET_CUSTOM=y BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME="Image" BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_TARGET_NAME="Image modules dtbs" After building, the dtbo files are present in the output/images/rpi-firmware/overlays directory but not added to the sdcard because they are missing from the genimage cfg file.

Thanks for suggested patch, the reasoning for genimage-raspberrypi3-64.cfg not containing a overlays entry is it is not needed for the raspberrypi3_64_defconfig use case (mind the buildroot minimalistic defconfig approach) in contrast to the raspberrypi3_defconfig where the overlay is needed for the pi3-miniuart-bt one... Adding a (maybe) empty overlays directory to the sdcard image would violate the minimalistic approach...

With or without this patch, I see no viable way to update the device tree. Is there a method ? What is a Raspberry Pi without a method to support the addons and hats ? Do you have a method for supporting any of the various addons/hats which would normally work with an overlay line added to /boot/config.txt ?

It is pretty clear that support for the RPi requires a lot more work and blocking revisions doesn't really help. Despite adding post_script_args, there simply isn't any way to include overlays in the current setup. For example : If I add the variable BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS="--add-pi3-miniuart-bt-overlay" It will put the following into boot/config.txt : dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt But - now here is the clincher - THERE IS NO WAY TO GET OVERLAYS INTO THE BOOT PARTITION ! Can you please be more helpful ? I see specifically the following problems : 1] Can you suggest a better method to include overlays in the sdcard? during a build process ? 2] For a 64 bit system, does overlay loading even work ? I tried to load an overlay by putting dtoverlay into config.txt but it seemed to not even be aware of its presence ! 3] Because of 2] is there a particular place to put overlays rather then boot/overlays ? thanks Matt >> Matt >> >> >>> Regards, >>> Peter >>> >>> [Skipped CC to 'Matt Flax <flatmax@flatmax.org>' - mail server answers with 'mailbox unavailable'] >>> >>>> Signed-off-by: Matt Flax <flatmax@flatmax.org> >>>> --- >>>> board/raspberrypi/genimage-raspberrypi3-64.cfg | 1 + >>>> package/rpi-firmware/rpi-firmware.mk | 4 ++++ >>>> 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+) >>>> >>>> diff --git a/board/raspberrypi/genimage-raspberrypi3-64.cfg b/board/raspberrypi/genimage-raspberrypi3-64.cfg >>>> index 0d0ca750a7..af1d17cde7 100644 >>>> --- a/board/raspberrypi/genimage-raspberrypi3-64.cfg >>>> +++ b/board/raspberrypi/genimage-raspberrypi3-64.cfg >>>> @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ image boot.vfat { >>>> "rpi-firmware/config.txt", >>>> "rpi-firmware/fixup.dat", >>>> "rpi-firmware/start.elf", >>>> + "rpi-firmware/overlays", >>>> "Image" >>>> } >>>> } >>>> diff --git a/package/rpi-firmware/rpi-firmware.mk b/package/rpi-firmware/rpi-firmware.mk >>>> index bb54904ae6..0df7b17cbd 100644 >>>> --- a/package/rpi-firmware/rpi-firmware.mk >>>> +++ b/package/rpi-firmware/rpi-firmware.mk >>>> @@ -24,6 +24,10 @@ define RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS >>>> $(INSTALL) -D -m 0644 $${ovldtb} $(BINARIES_DIR)/rpi-firmware/overlays/$${ovldtb##*/} || exit 1; \ >>>> done >>>> endef >>>> +else >>>> +define RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS >>>> + $(INSTALL) -d $(BINARIES_DIR)/rpi-firmware/overlays || exit 1; >>>> +endef >>>> endif >>>> >>>> ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_VCDBG),y) >>> _______________________________________________ >>> buildroot mailing list >>> buildroot at busybox.net >>> http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot >> _______________________________________________ >> buildroot mailing list >> buildroot at busybox.net >> http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot > _______________________________________________ > buildroot mailing list > buildroot at busybox.net > http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Don`t know what your mean by 'blocking revisions'? > Despite adding post_script_args, there simply isn't any way to include > overlays in the current setup. Your initial suggested patch shows the way to do it: - enable BR2_PACKAGE_RPI_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DTB_OVERLAYS=y - use a customized genimage config file with overlay directory enabled - use a customized genimage config file pointing to a customized config.txt file > > For example : > > If I add the variable > BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS="--add-pi3-miniuart-bt-overlay" > > It will put the following into boot/config.txt : > > dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt > > But - now here is the clincher - THERE IS NO WAY TO GET OVERLAYS INTO > THE BOOT PARTITION ! > > Can you please be more helpful ?

The system here is completely dysfunctional as far as the Raspberry Pi is concerned. There has to be a balance between your desired minimalism and functionality. Are you aware that the start.elf binary in the boot partition EXPECTS the overlays directory to be present ? It has functions which search this directory. You previously stated : "Adding a (maybe) empty overlays directory to the sdcard image would violate the minimalistic approach..." The trade off for this "minimalistic approach", is to have a dysfunctional buildroot system. It is dysfunctional because parts of the Pi's software can never execute successfully, i.e. start.elf. To correctly honor your "minimalistic approach" the start.elf binary should be correctly modified and minimised. I personally am in favour of being able to create functionally working versions of Pi boot partitions - which is why my patch includes the possibly empty overlays directory on the boot partition - as the file start.elf expects. As my "initial suggested patch shows the way to do it" why not support it ? > >> For example : >> >> If I add the variable >> BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS="--add-pi3-miniuart-bt-overlay" >> >> It will put the following into boot/config.txt : >> >> dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt >> >> But - now here is the clincher - THERE IS NO WAY TO GET OVERLAYS INTO >> THE BOOT PARTITION ! >> >> Can you please be more helpful ?

Also it was indented too much, and the trailing semicolon was not needed. Also, I've added a brief comment explaining why we create this empty directory. Peter, we discussed this on IRC and we feel that one empty directory doesn't violate the minimalistic principle too much, because it does make life a lot easier when you start from the existing defconfig. So, I've applied to master with the changes mentioned above.
