[PATCH] boot an arm linux kernel direct from nand_spl code

[PATCH] boot an arm linux kernel direct from nand_spl code

[Heiko Schocher]

you need 2 images in Flash:

- Linux image @CONFIG_SYS_NAND_LINUX_OFFS
- ATAG image @CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ATAG_OFFS

ATAG image is just a copy from the ATAG info u-boot
created, before booting an arm linux kernel ...

ToDo/suggestions:

- we should define a struct, which contains the 3 values
  offset, size, destination, so we can create a "nand_load_list"
  which can contain n entries, that could be processed in
  a while loop ... so no need for the CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_LINUX
  define ;-)

  For example:
  {
	{CONFIG_SYS_NAND_LINUX_OFFS,
	 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_LINUX_SIZE,
	 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_LINUX_DST},
	{CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ATAG_OFFS,
	 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ATAG_SIZE,
	 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ATAG_DST},
	{}
  } nand_load_list_linux;

  {
	{CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS,
	 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE,
	 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST},
#ifdef CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
	{CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET,
	 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE,
	 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST},
#ifdef CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND
	{CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND,
	 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE,
	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE},
#endif
#endif
	{}
  }nand_load_list_uboot;

  in nand_boot() we can now for example get the state from a GPIO
  pin, and boot "linux/atag" or the "u-boot/env/env-red" case, or
  others (for example "powerpclinux/dtb")

  if (gpio == bootlinux)
	  nand_list = &nand_load_list_linux;
  else
	nand_list = &nand_load_list_uboot
  while (nand_list) {
	nand_load((&nand_info,
		nand_list->off,
		nand_list->size,
		nand_list->dest);
  }
