[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Simon Glass]

This series expands Nyan-big support:

- Enable Chrome OS EC, so that the keyboard works
- Add some extra clock and pre-kernel init required for reliable operation
- Add Chrome OS environment variables, including 'run nvboot' to allow
booting Chrome OS more easily

Still missing are audio and USB.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 01/20] dm: spi: Avoid setting the speed with every transfer

[Simon Glass]

Only set the speed if it has changed from last time. Since the speed will
be 0 when the device is probed it will always be changed on the first
transfer after the device is probed.

With several chips using the SPI protocol it seems better to put the single
duplex functionality in the EC rather than the SPI driver.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 06/20] tegra: spi: Drop the claim_bus() method to correct delays

[Simon Glass]

At present the driver does not properly honour the requested SPI CS
deactivation delay since the SPI bus is changed in the claim_bus() method.

Everything the claim_bus() method does can be done when the device is probed
(setting the speed and mode) and at the start of a new transfer (where the
fifo_status is already cleared). So drop this method.

Also, until the delay is complete, we should not touch the bus, so make sure
that spi_cs_activate() is called before other things are done in the xfer()
method.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 07/20] dm: tegra: cros_ec: Enable Chrome OS EC on Nyan-big

[Simon Glass]

Enable the EC and keyboard, using the SPI bus.

The EC driver requires a particular format and a deactivation delay. Also
U-Boot does not support interrupts.

For now, adjust the device tree to comply. At some point we should tidy
this up to support interrupts and make tegra and exynos use the same setup.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 20/20] tegra: config: nyan-big: Add options required by Chrome OS boot

[Simon Glass]

We need to match the device tree in the FIT with the U-Boot model so we
can automatically select the right device tree. Also adjust the load address
so that the device tree is not in the way when a zImage kernel tries to
extract itself.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 04/20] tegra: Provide more accurate microsecond time

[Stephen Warren]

> Add an implementation of the timer functions for tegra, so that timing

I'm a bit confused about this:

include/configs/tegra-common.h:32:#define CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_COUNTER 
NV_PA_TMRUS_BASE

lib/time.c:

#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_COUNTER
unsigned long notrace timer_read_counter(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_COUNTS_DOWN
         return ~readl(CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_COUNTER);
#else
         return readl(CONFIG_SYS_TIMER_COUNTER);
#endif
}

Doesn't that provide the same set of features, without requiring 
Tegra-specific code?

Is that addition of SPI_CMD1_CS_SW_VAL there relative to the old code

I recall some discussion that implied both the SPI bus/controller node 
and the SPI device node both needed an spi-max-frequency property. Can 
you double-check this change conforms with the DT binding, and whatever 
Linux has in its DT files?

This certainly isn't true for the upstream kernel; is this some bug in 
the ChromeOS kernel? If so, we should explicitly call this out in the 
commit description.

> Also for Linux set up the ODMDATA and graphics driver video protection.

Why doesn't ODMDATA come from the BCT? The way this is suppose to work 
is that the boot ROM copies the BCT into IRAM, and U-Boot (or indeed any 
bootloader) copies the ODMDATA field from the BCT in IRAM into the PMC 
scratch20 register. This logic is already all in place in U-Boot, and 
indeed any NVIDIA-authored bootloader AFAIK.

Is this U-Boot port intended to run as a Coreboot payload rather than 
natively, and Coreboot is somehow corrupting the copy of the BCT in 
IRAM? If so, we should explicitly call this out in the commit description.

I would personally want to (be able to) make my SPI flash r/w and 
replace Coreboot with U-Boot. Perhaps we need different board names for 
those two use-cases; something like nyan-big for the Coreboot payload, 
and nyan-big-native for the version you'd write directly into SPI?

I think this needs a bit of minification for an upstream U-Boot. In 
particular, many of the environment variables overlap semantically or by 
name with those from include/config_distro_*.h, and I'd like to see any 
U-Boot for the Tegra Chromebooks (at least) support booting both 
ChromeOS kernels and arbitrary distros using the environment from 
config_distro_bootcmd.h.

Shouldn't that be in some common header so it isn't ever duplicated?

There are a ton of macros in here without much in the way of 
explanation. Shouldn't everything be documented in the README?

We don't tend to use LOADADDR in any of the default boot scripts any 
more. Rather, we explicitly load files to a "semantic" location 
indicated by one of the following variables in tegra124-common.h:

#define MEM_LAYOUT_ENV_SETTINGS \
         "scriptaddr=0x90000000\0" \
         "pxefile_addr_r=0x90100000\0" \
         "kernel_addr_r=0x81000000\0" \
         "fdt_addr_r=0x82000000\0" \
         "ramdisk_addr_r=0x82100000\0"

Perhaps the ChromeOS boot scripts could be adjusted to use one/some of 
those variables?

If the value of CONFIG_LOADADDR isn't appropriate, perhaps we should fix 
it for all Tegra SoCs/boards?

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Sjoerd Simons]

Hey Simon,

Incidentally i got acces to a Nyan big and wanted to start testing
u-boot on it. Unfortunately putting a uImage in a vboot signed blob to
chainload it from the primary bootloader like on the exynos based
chromebooks seemed not to work. 

Do you have any good pointers how to use u-boot on nyan? (Ideally
without having to re-flash coreboot, as i would like to create images
people can easily test on a vanilla chromebook)

No I don't sorry. I suppose in dev mode it should boot a signed image
so if you put U-Boot in a FIT as with snow/pit it should work. But I
don't have instructions...if you figure it out it would be good to put
this info somewhere.

Yes you are right. I couldn't find out where this was being done and
was seeing strange behaviour with udelay(). I'm not very keen on the
lldiv() in lib/time.c when it is a no-op. But I suppose all it can do
is slow things down a bit.

Anyway, we can drop this patch.

It looks like it needs to be in the slave so I'll add it back there. I
don't see it in the bus in the Linux version of the SPI bus node, so
presumably it uses a default speed, perhaps higher than 3MHz. Probably
best to have it in both places.

OK I'll adjust the commit message. At some point perhaps this problem
will go away. Chrome OS is running kernel v3.10 on this device.

OK, so perhaps I can just drop this code. It might just be a hack in Coreboot.

No, there really isn't any point in running U-Boot as a Coreboot
payload, since U-Boot can do all the init itself. This series is for
running U-Boot stand-alone on Nyan-big.

See above... if we can get the display stuff merged then I could do
this also. But without a display it's missing a big piece.

Yes. To me it seems that we should set CS high when probing. Otherwise
the bus may sit low (enabled) until we do our first activate().

Finally got time to play a bit with this. On the snow/peach boards the
approach is to put u-boot in a legacy u-boot image (not a FIT image),
which has the nice side-effect of re-locating u-boot before jumping to
it. 

Unfortunately the depthcharge on the nyan boards appears not to support
legacy images, only FIT images, which don't get relocated before jumping
into the kernel blob. Long story short, on the nyan boards the FIT image
gets loaded at 0x81000000 and the FIT images i created put the u-boot
blob at an offset of 0xCC. After re-configuring CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE to
match i got u-boot starting \o/ ;)

Unfortunately the board seems to hard hang when it tries to enable/use
the data cache. Enabling CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF makes it get to the
u-boot prompt. Unfortunately neither MMC (didn't detect card) nor USB
(failed to get descriptor from my usb network dongle) worked so i
couldn't try booting a kernel just, but it's start.

Simon, does data cache/MMC/USB work properly when booting u-boot
"natively" rather then chainloading from coreboot or does it have
similar issues?

Fwiw, I've attached the output of u-boot running onthe board (with
CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF enabled).

Nice work!

I have the data cache enabled. USB does not work. MMC works OK (I can
boot a kernel from the internal eMMC).

I'm not sure about the cache, it seems odd. I wonder if there is
something broken in the cache set, and U-Boot needs to fix it?

In particular, many of the environment variables overlap semantically or by name with those from include/config_distro_*.h, and I'd like to see any U-Boot for the Tegra Chromebooks (at least) support booting both ChromeOS kernels and arbitrary distros using the environment from config_distro_bootcmd.h.

That would be good. I think it is possible also, although I haven't
been able to make it work so far. I can get it to find the kernel,
although not the one that it needs and the U-Boot scripts are in a
different place on the disk in Chrome OS. Also the command line args
are wrong.

So I think for now we should either apply this as it is (since it
works) or wait until someone has time to rationalise things a bit and
figure out how to support Chrome OS booting in the distro stuff.

The documentation for these is at the top of the file:

I forgot about this comment sorry. I had problems with the image
overwriting itself. It is a bzImage inside a FIT so doesn't use the
proper FIT decompression.

Anyway I'd like to clarify what is meant by kernel_addr_r. Is that
where the FIT is loaded or where the kernel will decompress to, or
something else?

I would not expect the scripts from config_distro_bootcmd.h to just work 
for ChromeOS; I'd expect it to be an alternate set of scripts. I'm 
mainly looking for the ChromeOS scripts to use the same variables where 
they mean the same thing, to avoid having two completely different sets.

Re: the command-line; wouldn't the ChromeOS scripts just set bootargs 
from scratch whenever they were used? The scripts in 
config_distro_bootcmd.h expect the complete command-line to come from 
the extlinux.conf or boot.scr file that they load; the scripts in 
config_distro_bootcmd.h shouldn't be providing a command-line.

I really think this should be cleaned up before it's applied. As soon as 
it's applied, it'll serve as an example and other boards will pick up 
the same code. That'll make the eventual required cleanup more involved.

Not all of them by far; I mean things like CONFIG_CHROMEOS, 
CONFIG_CHROMEOS_TEST, CONFIG_CHROMEOS_CONST_FLAG, 
CONFIG_VBOOT_REGION_READ, CONFIG_CROS_RO, CONFIG_CHROMEOS_DISPLAY, 
CONFIG_CROS_LEGACY_VBOOT, CONFIG_CHROMEOS_USB, and probably a variety of 
others I didn't pick up in a quick scan. I don't see any of those in 
u-boot/master as of a few days ago either, so I think they're all 
introduced new in this patch?

kernel_addr_r is the address in RAM at which a kernel zImage is loaded 
by config_distro_bootcmd.h scripts (and likely other scripts too). It's 
usually deliberately chosen to be a fair way into RAM, so that when the 
zImage decompresses (to approx the start of RAM), the decompressed image 
doesn't overlap the compressed image at kernel_addr_r. This avoids the 
kernel decompressor having to move/copy the zImage somewhere else before 
copying to avoid any overlap during decompression.

config_distro_bootcmd.h doesn't support FIT, so I haven't tried out 
loading FIT images. That said, if U-Boot simply jumps to the location of 
the kernel in the FIT image itself without any copying, I would expect 
everything to work fine if you loaded a FIT image to kernel_addr_r. 
However, if the processing of the FIT image requires the kernel to be 
copied out of the FIT image to some other location, you'd have to 
carefully choose that location so it didn't overlap anything. I'd 
strongly recommend avoiding any unnecessary copies like that though, if 
at all possible, from the perspective of both pointlessly wasted 
execution time and simplicity of the boot process. Perhaps storing a a 
kernel_noload image type inside the FIT rather than a kernel image type 
might help there? Perhaps you want to introduce a new standard variable 
that defines where FIT images are loaded.

I wonder what would be involved in adjusting config_distro_bootcmd to
support FIT? Would it make it simpler or harder? To me, we should be
moving to using FIT with U-Boot as it is much more flexible and better
designed from the ground up to provide the required features.

Anyway, normally FIT has a compressed kernel (e.g. with LZO), not a
bzImage. So it seems like we need an additional decompression address.
I suppose we could always use malloc() instead... But perhaps a FIT
load address makes sense. But then we don't really need a kernel load
address do we? Shouldn't that be specified in the FIT itself?

Simon

The command line really should be read from the storage. But
chromeos.h uses a hard-coded command line. This is good enough to
boot.

OK. Well if we apply the other patches we at least get the code in. We
won't be able to boot Chrome OS, but it's close.

What is missing here is the verified boot implementation. There are
several patches that can sit on top of this patch to add full verified
boot. The ones you identify are used by that code. I'm quite keen to
move them to Kconfig but that work has not done yet.

My objective is to allow Chrome OS verified boot to be applied as a
small number of patches on mainline.

Simon

Well, it goes against the very idea of config_distro_bootcmd, which is 
to provide a single standard mechanism that doesn't rely on any 
bootloader-specific file formats etc. That mechanism is a raw zImage, a 
raw initrd, and a plain text extlinux.cfg file to specify things like 
file paths/names, command-line, etc.

The boot.scr support there is legacy, and not something that should be 
built upon going forward. So, that's not an argument for adding support 
for a third mechanism!

I disagree that FIT is a good idea, but that's a separate topic.

> bzImage.

Do you mean FIT normally contains an originally uncompressed kernel 
(i.e. an Image file in ARM land at least), but then compresses it itself 
as part of FIT image generation? A bzImage is also a "compressed kernel".

A FIT load address does sound like it makes sense.

If U-Boot copies the kernel image out of the FIT image to somewhere 
else, the FIT image shouldn't specify the address to copy it to. This 
varies per SoC, so if this address is hard-coded into FIT, it means the 
FIT image can't be used on different SoCs (or perhaps even different 
boards, depending on how differing RAM sizes work on various HW). This 
is why with config_distro_bootcmd, all the addresses come from the 
U-Boot environment, not hard-coded into a file on the disk. That way, 
the files are all generic and can be used on various different systems 
that require different addresses. It possibly makes sense for 
kernel_addr_r to be the destination of that copy?

Do we need to adjust the mechanism? The only difference I see is that

That's right, that's what I mean.

Doesn't the kernel know where the kernel needs to be loaded / copied
as part of the bzImage stuff? From what I see at present this is
hard-coded into the code in the kernel. So we need to put this correct
address in the FIT, is that right? Are you thinking we should allow
FIT to take an environment variable as a load address?

If so, I feel it would make a lot of sense for the kernel to package
up the FIT to avoid these issues.

No, it's just fine as it is.

The benefit of the existing mechanism is precisely that nobody has to 
package the zImage/initrd/... together, whereas that appears to be 
precisely the purpose of FIT. The two schemes are by definition 
opposites of each-other.

No. The address is dynamically calculated by the kernel decompressor for 
any kernel with CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR enabled. Any distro-provided kernel 
will have that option enabled, so that the kernel doesn't have to 
hard-code any addresses, and so that the same kernel image can run on 
multiple SoCs.

For kernels without CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR enabled, everything should 
still work too, provided the decompression target address the kernel has 
hard-coded into it doesn't overlap stuff like the DTB or initrd.

> Are you thinking we should allow

That would likely be required for it to be useful with 
CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR, yes.

The kernel community has already specifically rejected (multiple times 
IIRC) generating bootloader-specific image formats in the kernel build 
system.

Really? Well zImage is a packaged kernel isn't it? That part of it is
definitely opposite. But other than that I don't see why a group of
separate files is so different from packaging them together.

Form the help:

"ZRELADDR is the physical address where the decompressed kernel image
will be placed. If AUTO_ZRELADDR is selected, the address will be
determined at run-time by masking the current IP with 0xf8000000. This
assumes the zImage being placed in the first 128MB from start of
memory."

It is dynamically calculated based on the kernel being loaded to a
reasonable place. But presumably the kernel itself actually ends up at
a fixed TEXTBASE. Unless you are using ASLR iwc you have ELF
relocations anyway. Or do I have this wrong?

So what I am saying is that the kernel could make a FIT with TEXTBASE
set correctly.

Doesn't' the kernel still support 'make uImage'? Anyway, if the
information is available we don't need the kernel to support it
itself. It would just be easier...

The zImage packaging is a kernel-internal function implemented (both
compression and decompression) fully as part of the kernel build
process. Code/... that consumes the kernel doesn't even know that such
packaging happens; you can just run make in the kernel tree, and you get
a zImage.

However, if you want a FIT or uImage, you need to run additional tools
beyond a plain "make" in the kernel tree.

The location the kernel is decompressed to is dynamic; it isn't fixed to
TEXTBASE. AUTO_ZRELADDR calculates this location. IIRC (it's been a
while since I looked at how this is implemented) the kernel code is
either position-independent (early boot code prior to MMU setup) or runs
in a virtual address space with the MMU configuration hiding the dynamic
nature of the run-time-generated physical address.

I don't believe so. Well, for a single platform or set of similar
platforms, yes it could. For a completely generic multi-platform kernel
it could not.

That target exists *but* since it runs "mkimage -T kernel" (rather than
e.g. -T kernel_noload), you must specify a fixed address for the uImage
to be unpacked into. This makes the build target useless for
multi-platform kernels, since the set of legal "load" addresses differs
between platforms. Multi-plaform kernels are pretty much all anyone
cares about these days at least for ARM Linux. IIRC there were some
discussions and patches proposed to solve some of this, but they were
rejected because the kernel maintainers didn't want the kernel build
process to support external bootloader-specific packaging steps. I
believe it was even proposed to remove the build target, but that
doesn't seem to have happened.

Yes I understand that, but what are you getting at? FIT would work the

My reading of the code is that the kernel is always compiled to run at
c0008000 and that the early code is relocatable so that it can be run
anywhere. That doesn't seem to have changed in years. This seems to be
different from x86 where in general the code seems to be loaded at a
particular place.

Given what you say above, Linux should be able to be loaded almost
anywhere in the first 128MB of physical memory. It then decompresses
to 32KB above the start of physical memory and jumps to itself there.

We should also be able to load the uncompressed kernel 'Image'
(arch/arm/boot/Image) at any place which is an offset 0x8000 from the
start of a 1MB boundary. This used to work but I have not tried it
recently.

Given that the boot loader has to load the kernel into the bottom of
physical memory, it doesn't seem to be to be any harder for the boot
loader to load the kernel to an address 32KB above a 1MB boundary.
Effectively the kernel relies on being loaded to a sensible address.
In no sense is the boot loader deprived of the need to know where to
put the kernel by this scheme.

And from what I can tell the kernel itself (i.e. without the 1300
lines of head.S) doesn't care where it is loaded, within reason.

OK I see what you are saying. It's a bit ugly. We want the compressed
kernel to be loaded in a place from which we can infer, through some
convention, the start of physical RAM. The incoming PC is effectively
a parameter. Another way would be to make that an explicit parameter
to the kernel, or perhaps use the device tree.

OK so perhaps that is one option. Although I wonder whether we should
just allow U-Boot to place the kernel at some offset from the start of
RAM and that would be good enough for any platform? Why do we need
this kernel address env variable?

OK I see.

How does the kernel deal with multiple device tree files and the boot
loader selecting the correct one?

Speaking as one of the ARM maintainers that's not what we want. We
want to be able to use the standard kernel, initrd and then a DT so we
can boot a single image across any device that the kernel supports.

In Fedora at the moment we can boot around a 100 odd devices off a
single kernel by specifying the DT separately. I've not looked at FIT
closely but I don't believe it provides us that.

The above it what Fedora does, this is why we assisted in the
implementation of config_distro_bootcmd so we could have a single
kernel for all devices.

Is there an overview of a FIT image somewhere, does it only contain a
single DT or does it package up a single one for the device? Currently
in Fedora we're shipping 283 DTs for a single 4.0.3 multiplatform
kernel. For the images we ship we can for example just plug a generic
image into a Jetson TK1 board and have it boot without any device
specific configuration.

My comment was not to adjust the standard mechanism, but to adjust the
internal details of how U-Boot implements it such that FIT could be
supported. I reviewed the U-Boot config_distro implementation at the
time - I was careful to confirm that the mechanism itself was defined
separately from U-Boot's implementation.

From my understanding we could package the bzImage kernel and all the
DTs/ramdisk into the FIT and make it work. This is what Chrome OS
does, for example. Actually this all came up after Stephen asked how
to make U-Boot's Chrome OS boot scripts look more like config_distro.

 It may actually be simpler for U-Boot to implement I think, since it
would be using pre-wired feature. But that needs to be looked at with
config_distro.

U-Boot has a mechanism to select the correct DT based on the model of
the board it is running on.

Then I asked if we could go a step further and use FIT compression (it
can specify an algorithm to use) instead of bzImage so that all the
'loading' happens in the boot loader. The problem of the kernel load
address came up, as below. I believe that (ARM-specific problem?) can
be solved by perhaps placing the kernel at address 0x8000 in physical
memory, for example, something the boot loader can do. But that is yet
to be tested and might be an addition to FIT.

It does support that. I believe that was one of the design goals,
albeit for PowerPC at the time. There is also CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH in
U-Boot which can select the correct DT for the board.

You could try this - the verified boot part of it is documented also:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=tree;f=doc/uImage.FIT;hb=HEAD

While you are here, what boot loaders do people mostly use with Fedora on ARM?

Nit: On ARM there's an Image (I think that's the uncompressed kernel 
build output) and a zImage (that is the compressed kernel build output). 
bzImage is x86-specific.

The main thing I asked was for the ChromeOS stuff to re-use existing 
environment variables rather than re-inventing its own for the same purpose.

I'm not sure whether there could be much more unification than that, 
since the model that ChromeOS and config_distro_bootcmd use to select 
the boot device and partition probably vary quite a bit?

Chrome OS keeps its script in a funny place, or we can use the A/B
flag directly with a lot more code. But to boot partition A is not too
far away - I had it finding and starting the kernel (but with the
wrong bootargs). It needs more work though.

Awesome! Thanks Simon.

Hey Matthew, you get any further with this?

No unfortunately not.  Simon was going to try himself at some point.  I
have a few u-boot forks im dying to chain-boot on nyan so I hope there is
some progress.  I think we need to see whats going on behind the scenes
with a servo board and serial output because I can get u-boot to boot (i
think) but it reboots immediately into recovery (no console on lcd display).

Let hope Simon gets some time in the near future ;)

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Matthew Gorski]

I have yet to produce a u-boot command prompt.  I can get the display to
flash using u-boot mainline with 0x81000100 as the SYS_TEXT_BASE and using:

 description = "Chrome OS kernel image with one or more FDT blobs";

but the boot process forces a reboot into recovery.

If I use:

description = "U-Boot + FDT --------- THIS PADDING IS NEEDED SO THE IMAGE
STARTS AT THE RIGHT OFFSET";
Produces a blank screen with the exact u-boot.bin

I hope someone can confirm nyan can chainboot u-boot and possibly post what
the used for their FIT its config.  Thanks for all the help and guided
responses.

Seems if I use the description "description = "U-Boot + FDT --------- THIS
PADDING IS NEEDED SO THE IMAGE STARTS AT THE RIGHT OFFSET"; "

I get a blank display that shows no signs of loading uboot BUT if I use:

description = "Chrome OS kernel image with one or more FDT blobs";

Nyan tries to load something because the display flashes like a normal
bootup but immediately reboots into chromeos usb/sdcard recovery.

So the hack in the the collabora uboot kernel-big.its doesnt seem to work
anymore unless the padding is messing with the load address.

I am using mainline uboot with CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x81000100 should this
be changed?

Also i am trying to figure out how padding is calculated in a fit image and
this is confusing.  Is the padding the actual description length?

Thank You Tomeu, Sjoerd and Simon for taking the time to chime in on an old
but interesting topic.

I believe I have enough info from you all to get this figured out now.

Since depthcharch loads the FIT image at 0x81000000
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/depthcharge/+/master/board/nyan_big/defconfig#11

I need to determine a suitable load address e.g fit load + 64k

So 81000000 + 64k.

One thing I am not certain about is adding the padding to the FIT .its
config. How is this done?

description = "U-Boot + FDT --------- THIS PADDING IS NEEDED SO THE IMAGE
STARTS AT THE RIGHT OFFSET";

Yup, U-boot both needs to be properly aligned and know its text base
address. 

So the calculation we did was basically look at depthcharge where in
memory the FIT image gets loaded, determine a suitable load address
after that (e.g fit load + 64k), configure that in u-boot and then add
enough padding in the fit image itself such that the u-boot code starts
at the determined address in memory by putting in just the right amount
of padding ;).

It is rather ugly, but it does allow running u-boot without the need to
change the firmware in flash.

Hi Matthew,

it has been quite a while, but I remember that if we only tried
chainloading U-Boot was because the goal was to integrate these
machines in our LAVA lab, which to date doesn't support Depthcharge
(though I hope this will change once I get back some time).

I cannot remember how the correct position of the kernel within the
FIT image was calculated, but it definitely involved looking at the
depthcharge sources.

But I do think to remember that it was only an issue once U-Boot tried
to relocate itself.

I don't see any reason why my old branch wouldn't work today on your
machine, other than maybe your hw is a different revision with a
memory chip that wasn't supported back then? I also don't see why
mainline wouldn't work, provided you have that hack in the ITS.

I'm adding Sjoerd to CC in case he remembers.

Good luck,

Tomeu

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Matthew Gorski]

Seems if you change the FIT description from anything but

"description = "Chrome OS kernel image with one or more FDT blobs";"

the kernel wont load. So this issue has to be in the kernel-big.its
<https://git.collabora.com/cgit/user/tomeu/u-boot.git/tree/kernel-big.its?h=nyan-big&id=35bcb399c0d78ba6a050cc775d467ee75ed06923>

https://git.collabora.com/cgit/user/tomeu/u-boot.git/tree/kernel-big.its?h=nyan-big&id=35bcb399c0d78ba6a050cc775d467ee75ed06923

We may just need a proper working .its for nyan

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/depthcharge/+/master/board/nyan_big/defconfig#11

In my System.map for u-boot after building says the start is:
81000100 T __image_copy_start
81000100 T _start

Hence the define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x81000100

So you say use 0x81000000 as the CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE and not 0x81000100
correct?

If you figure out where u-boot-dtb.bin needs to start by looking at
depthcharge or where the kernel starts, then you can figure out how
long the padding needs to be at the start of the FIT. Rather than
guessing...!

Very odd if I do not use "#address-cells = <1>;" the display flashes and
reboots into recovery but if I do use #address-cells = <1>; in my FIT
config I get a blank screen
so something is working when not using the padding.

/dts-v1/;

/ {
    description = "Chrome OS nyan u-boot chain boot method";
    #address-cells = <1>;
    images {
        kernel at 1{

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Matthew Gorski]

First off THANK YOU Simon for all the help and time.  I am making progress
now.

I found this here: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2017-
February/281572.html

I adjusted my FIT its and now the display flashes like its entering u-boot
but immediately reboots into chromeos usb recovery.  I used the same fit
config I am using for a regular kernel and I am using mainline master
branch.

 /dts-v1/;

/ {
    description = "Chrome OS kernel image with one or more FDT blobs";
    images {
        kernel at 1{
            description = "kernel";
            data = /incbin/("u-boot-dtb.bin");
            type = "kernel_noload";
            arch = "arm";
            os = "linux";
            compression = "none";
            load = <0>;
            entry = <0>;
        };
        fdt at 1{
            description = "tegra124-nyan-big.dtb";
            data = /incbin/("dts/dt.dtb");
            type = "flat_dt";
            arch = "arm";
            compression = "none";
            hash at 1{
                algo = "sha1";
            };
        };
    };
    configurations {
        default = "conf at 1";
        conf at 1{
            kernel = "kernel at 1";
            fdt = "fdt at 1";
        };
    };
};

How do I adjust the padding in the FIT its file as shown here: #address-cells
= <1>; and is it needed at all?

+/ {
+ description = "U-Boot + FDT --------- THIS PADDING IS NEEDED SO THE IMAGE
STARTS AT THE RIGHT OFFSET";
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ images {
+ kernel at 1{

I have not searched the mailing list.  What should I search for?  Booting
nyan to u-boot directly bypassing SPL?

Do you mean CONFIG_DISPLAY? If so, it is already defined.

That is defined in mainline

Perhaps you need to adjust this? How was the length of it calcualted?

This is exynos, where we booted directly into U-Boot. Actually I'm
wondering we should boot directly into U-Boot (instead of SPL) on nyan
also. Perhaps someone at collabora would know? Did you search the
mailing list?

Okay I tried a couple kernelpart.bin builds with the
stock 0x80110000 CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE and no adjustment
to CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE still no u-boot prompt.

Tried CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE  0x8010E000 and still no command prompt.

What setting should I use for SPL? CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE ?

I read from the older thread I should be getting a command prompt and I am
familiar with porting u-boot as I have ported my own custom builds to
Toradex Apalis TK1 and also Jetson TK1 boards.

I always used the L4T SYS TEXT BASE: define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x8010E000

CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x8010E000
and

CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE		0x80108000


I know I will also need:


CONFIG_DISPLAY_PORT=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_TEGRA124=y


for the console to display command prompt.


The FIT config I am using is from
here:https://git.collabora.com/cgit/user/tomeu/u-boot.git/commit/?h=nyan-big


Do I need to adjust:


            load = <0>;
            entry = <0>;


/dts-v1/;

/ {
    description = "U-Boot + FDT --------- THIS PADDING IS NEEDED SO
THE IMAGE STARTS AT THE RIGHT OFFSET";
    #address-cells = <1>;
    images {
        kernel at 1{
            description = "kernel";
            data = /incbin/("u-boot-dtb.bin");
            type = "kernel_noload";
            arch = "arm";
            os = "linux";
            compression = "none";
            load = <0>;
            entry = <0>;
        };
        fdt at 1{
            description = "tegra124-nyan-big.dtb";
            data = /incbin/("dts/dt.dtb");
            type = "flat_dt";
            arch = "arm";
            compression = "none";
            hash at 1{
                algo = "sha1";
            };
        };
    };
    configurations {
        default = "conf at 1";
        conf at 1{
            kernel = "kernel at 1";
            fdt = "fdt at 1";
        };
    };
};


please let me know if I should also adjust the SPL CONFIG even though
I am chainbooting uboot:

There's only one mainline, here: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=summary

There are various custodian branches but I don't believe the tegra one
has anything different from mainline at present.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Matthew Gorski]

Let me repost this to the bottom.  New to the mailing list ;)

I am using chained boot to test uboot as a FIT image so I I don't have to
flash to spl flash.  Does CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE need to be adjusted for
chained boot?

I am using instructions to boot Linux for Tegra from sdcard/USB in
developer mode.  I can boot L4T fine with kernel v3.10.

What mainline branch should I try?

How did you choose what to use? Also note that Tegra uses SPL to
start, so you may need to adjust CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE instead.

How are you actually making it boot? Is this in dev mode with USB boot
enabled and pressing Ctrl-U?

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Matthew Gorski]

Thanks for the reply Simon.

I have been trying to find the System.map for depthcharge to see the kernel
load address but I am unable to find anything.  I have tried multiple
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
settings with no luck.

I am creating my sdcard with a standard linux (Linux for Tegra) rootfs:
Partition an SD card

sudo cgpt create <MMC BLOCK DEVICE>
sudo cgpt add -b 34 -s 32768 -P 1 -S 1 -t kernel <MMC BLOCK DEVICE> #
16 MB kernel image partition
sudo cgpt add -b 32802 -s <ROOT PARTITION SIZE in 512B sectors> -t
rootfs <MMC BLOCK DEVICE>

cgpt doesn't seem to create a protective MBR. If one is not already in
place, it can be created with:

sudo gdisk <MMC BLOCK DEVICE> # and enter command w

<https://github.com/chromeos-nvidia-androidtv/gnu-linux-on-acer-chromebook-13#copy-data-to-the-sd-card>Copy
data to the SD card

sudo dd if=./kernelpart.bin of=<MMC BLOCK DEVICE>p1
sudo mkfs.ext4 <MMC BLOCK DEVICE>p2
sudo mount <MMC BLOCK DEVICE>p2 /mnt/

Have you tried mainline U-Boot? It already supports nyan-big. I'm not
sure about the situation with the downstream trees.

It is possible that it needs a particular address due to limitations
in the FIT support on Nyan. I'm not sure what it is but might be able
to take a look at some point.

How are you building your SD card? Are you following some instructions
from somewhere?

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra: Expand Nyan-big support

[Matthew Gorski]

I am porting u-boot to nyan_big and need some input.  I have been searching
high and low and found this thread here: [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/20] tegra:
Expand Nyan-big support

 https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-March/209530.html

I have tried to build u-boot with the branch here:

https://git.collabora.com/cgit/user/tomeu/u-boot.git/commit/?h=nyan-big

and also the official chromium next branch

I followed building instructions here: https://www.chromium.org
/chromium-os/firmware-porting-guide/using-nv-u-boot-on-the-
samsung-arm-chromebook

I build with these commands:

mkimage -e 0x81000100 -a 0x81000100 -f kernel-big.its kernel-u-boot

(with and without the load address setting)

vbutil_kernel --arch arm --pack kernel.bin --keyblock
/usr/share/vboot/devkeys/kernel.keyblock --signprivate
/usr/share/vboot/devkeys/kernel_data_key.vbprivk --version 1 --config
dummy.txt --vmlinuz kernel-u-boot --bootloader dummy.txt

I have had numerous failed attempts to boot uboot from sdcard mmcblk1p1

Any help is appreciated I have only gotten a blank screen after weeks of
flashing.  I can boot custom v3.10 kernels so I assume I am using the
correct building procedure.  Thanks in advance for help from the u-boot
community.

Hi i'm trying to chain u-boot from an sdcard in a byan-big based
chromebook without having to overwrite the main boot, has someone
managed to do it?
