[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] rockchip: rk3288: provide ${fdtfile}

[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] rockchip: rk3288: provide ${fdtfile}

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

All rk3288 default configs define CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE.
So we can use it to define ${fdtfile} in rk3288_common.h.

This variable is needed by the distro boot command.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] rockchip: rk3288: provide ${fdtfile}

[Kever Yang]

Hi Heinrich,

    What kind of issue do you met without this patch?

I think distro boot always work fine in my side without this patch.

Thanks,

[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] rockchip: rk3288: provide ${fdtfile}

[Kever Yang]

Hi Heinrich,

    Does this fdtfile will used for kernel? There should be a fdt config
for kernel dtb in boot config file,

and we should not use U-Boot dtb for kernel, they are different.


Thanks,

Without this, U-Boot won't load a new device tree from disk before
starting the EFI application.  This means the device tree provided by
U-Boot will be used which doesn't work very well with newer kernels.

Run make tinker-rk3288_defconfig

In the environment you get:
   soc=rockchip
   board=tinker_rk3288

According to doc/README.pxe:

   If the fdtfile environment variable is set, <path>/<fdtfile> is
   retrieved. Otherwise, the filename is generated from the soc and
   board environment, i.e. <path>/<soc>-<board>.dtb is retrieved.

The logic is implemented in file cmd/pxe.c.

So instead of retrieving tinker_rk3288.dtb we will try to read 
rockchip-tinker_rk3288.dtb which is incorrect.

If you want to look downstream, Debian package flash-kernel uses 
${fdtfile} as the preferred way to identify the dtb file. The variable 
is prerequisite for images that shall run on different SOCs.
See /etc/flash-kernel/bootscript/bootscr.uboot-generic.

Best regards

Heinrich

Applied to u-boot-rockchip, thanks!
