It is confusing to mention MAKEALL when it is not the normal way of building U-Boot anymore. Update the documentation to suit. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com> |

Summary ======= The README is for the boot procedure on the ipam390 board In the context of U-Boot, the board is booted in three stages. The initial bootloader which executes upon reset is the ROM Boot Loader (RBL) and sits in the internal ROM. The RBL initializes the internal memory and then depending on the exact board and pin configurations will initialize another controller (such as NAND) to continue the boot process by loading the secondary program loader (SPL). The SPL will initialize the system further (some clocks, SDRAM). As on this board is used the falcon boot mode, now 2 ways are possible depending on the GPIO 7_14 input pin, connected with the "soft reset switch" If this pin is logical 1 (high level): spl code starts the kernel image without delay If this pin is logical 0 (low level): spl code starts the u-boot image AIS is an image format defined by TI for the images that are to be loaded to memory by the RBL. The image is divided into a series of sections and the image's entry point is specified. Each section comes with meta data like the target address the section is to be copied to and the size of the section, which is used by the RBL to load the image. At the end of the image the RBL jumps to the image entry point. The AIS format allows for other things such as programming the clocks and SDRAM if the header is programmed for it. We do not take advantage of this and instead use SPL as it allows for additional flexibility (run-time detect of board revision, loading the next image from a different media, etc). Compilation =========== run "tools/buildman/buildman -k ipam390" in the u-boot source tree. Once this build completes you will have a ../current/ipam390/u-boot.ais file that needs to be written to the nand flash. Flashing the images to NAND ========================== The AIS image can be written to NAND flash using the following commands. Assuming that the network is configured and enabled and the u-boot.ais file is tftp'able.

Falcon Bootmode (boot linux without booting U-Boot) =================================================== The Falcon Mode extends this way allowing to start the Linux kernel directly from SPL. A new command is added to U-Boot to prepare the parameters that SPL must pass to the kernel, using ATAGS or Device Tree. In normal mode, these parameters are generated each time before loading the kernel, passing to Linux the address in memory where the parameters can be read. With Falcon Mode, this snapshot can be saved into persistent storage and SPL is informed to load it before running the kernel. To boot the kernel, these steps under a Falcon-aware U-Boot are required: 1. Boot the board into U-Boot. Use the "spl export" command to generate the kernel parameters area or the DT. U-Boot runs as when it boots the kernel, but stops before passing the control to the kernel. Here the command sequence for the ipam390 board: - load the linux kernel image into ram: U-Boot > nand read c0100000 2 200000 400000 NAND read: device 0 offset 0x200000, size 0x400000 4194304 bytes read: OK - generate the bootparms image: U-Boot > spl export atags c0100000 ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at c0100000 ...
