Benoît Thébaudeau 7e2173cf82 imx: iomux-v3: Include PKE and PUE to pad control pull definitions PUE requires PKE to mean something, as do pull values with PUE, so do not compell users to explicitly use PKE and PUE everywhere. This is also what is done on Linux and what has already been done for i.MX51. By the way, remove some unused pad control definitions. There is no change of behavior. Note that SPI_PAD_CTRL was defined by several boards with a pull value, but without PKE or PUE, which means that no pull was actually enabled in the pad. This might be a bug in those boards, but this patch does not change the behavior, so it just removes the meaningless pull value from those definitions.

U-Boot for the Freescale i.MX6q SabreLite board

This file contains information for the port of U-Boot to the Freescale
i.MX6q SabreLite board.

1. Boot source, boot from SD card
---------------------------------

The recent mainline U-Boot for the Freescale i.MX6q SabreLite board supports
boot from SD card only. However, by default, the SabreLite
boards boot from the SPI NOR flash. These boards need to be reflashed with
a small SD card loader to support boot from SD card. This small SD card loader
will be flashed into the SPI NOR. The board will still boot from SPI NOR, but
the loader will in turn request the BootROM to load the U-Boot from SD card.

The SD card loader is available from

https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/MX6QSabreLite

under a open-source 3-clause BSD license.

To update the SPI-NOR on the SabreLite board without the Freescale
manufacturing tool use the following procedure:

1. Write this SD card loader onto a large SD card using:

 sudo dd if=iMX6DQ_SPI_to_uSDHC3.bin of=/dev/sXx

Note: Replace sXx with the device representing the SD card in your system.

Note: This writes SD card loader at address 0

2. Put this SD card into the slot for the large SD card (SD3 on the bottom of
the board). Make sure SW1 switch is at position "00", so that it can boot
from the fuses.

3. Power-up the SabreLite, press 'space' to enter command mode in the U-Boot
(the default one the board is shipped with, starting from the SPI NOR) and
enter the following commands:

 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > mmc dev 0
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > mmc read 0x10800000 0 200
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > sf probe
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > sf erase 0 0x40000
 MX6Q SABRELITE U-Boot > sf write 0x10800000 0 0x40000

4. done.

In case you somehow do not succeed with this procedure you will have to use
the Freescale manufacturing tool in order to reflash the SPI-NOR.

Note: The board now boots from full size SD3 on the bottom of the board. NOT
      the micro SD4/BOOT slot on the top of the board. I.e. you have to use
      full size SD cards.

2. Build
--------

To build U-Boot for the SabreLite board:

 make mx6qsabrelite_config
 make

To copy the resulting u-boot.imx to the SD card:

 sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/sXx bs=512 seek=2&&sudo sync

Note: Replace sXx with the device representing the SD card in your system.
