[cip-dev] iwg20m with preferred kernel set to 4.4

[cip-dev] iwg20m with preferred kernel set to 4.4

[Daniel Sangorrin]

Hi Jan,

Here is the patch again with kernel set to 4.4 by default

[next] iwg20m: add support for this board

Thanks,
Daniel

P.S.: sorry for not using some prefix the last time.

[cip-dev] [next] iwg20m: add support for this board

[Daniel Sangorrin]

This patch adds support for the iwg20m board to isar-cip-core.

- Kernel version notes

This board is only supported by the 4.4 kernel. For that
reason, the preferred version is set to 4.4 and the user
doesn't need to specify :opt-4.4.yml

- U-boot notes

The u-boot version shipped with the board is rather
old (2013.01) and comes without distro boot support.
We could try building it with CONFIG_CMD_SOURCE to use
a boot.scr script. However, the build gave several
errors probably caused by incompatibilities with
modern compilers. Additionally, u-boot resides
on an SPI device and any failures while updating
it will brick the board. For all these reasons,
this patch relies on the u-boot shipped with the
board completely. The user needs to setup some
additional u-boot environment variables as described
in doc/README_iwg20m.md

- Kernel configuration notes

The configuration is based on the kernel's
shmobile_defconfig. Then it adds some
configuration bits for booting on an SDCard with
EXT4, booting from a ramdisk, and running Systemd.

- Bmap notes

The document doc/README_iwg20m.md uses bmaptool to
flash the image onto an SDCard. This functionality
is not yet available on the ISAR version used by
isar-cip-core. For now, you can either backport the
bmap patch [1] or use dd as explained in the README.

+# ISAR CIP Core: Instructions for the Renesas IWG20M board
+
+Version: 20190606
+Copyright: Toshiba corp.
+
+## Build the CIP Core image
+
+Use [kas-docker](https://github.com/siemens/kas/blob/master/kas-docker) to build the image. Currently this board is only supported by the CIP kernel version `4.4.y`.
+
+```
+$ git clone https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-core/isar-cip-core.git
+$ cd isar-cip-core
+$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siemens/kas/master/kas-docker
+$ chmod a+x kas-docker
+$ ./kas-docker --isar build kas.yml:board-iwg20m.yml
+```
+
+After the build is finished, insert a micro SDCard and flash the image with `bmaptool` (a better `dd`). Make sure you substitute `/dev/sdX` by the device file corresponding to your SDCard.
+
+```
+$ sudo apt install bmap-tools
+$ sudo bmaptool copy --bmap build/tmp/deploy/images/iwg20m/cip-core-image-cip-core-iwg20m.wic.img.bmap build/tmp/deploy/images/iwg20m/cip-core-image-cip-core-iwg20m.wic.img /dev/sdX
+```
+
+[Note] the bmap file will only be created on newer versions of ISAR. If the bmap file was not created then use `dd`.
+
+## U-boot settings
+
+
+In order to boot from the micro SDCard, we need to set some environment variables on u-boot. Insert the card on the microSD slot (on the upper hardware module), and a USB-serial cable to the USB Debug port (on the lower hardware module). Open a serial terminal (here we use `picocom`), and then switch on the board and enter the u-boot interactive command line to set the environment variables.
+
+```
+$ picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
+iWave-G20M > setenv bootargs_msd 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext4 rootwait'
+iWave-G20M > setenv bootcmd_msd 'run bootargs_msd;run fdt_check;mmc dev 1;fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} zImage;fatload mmc 1 ${fdt_addr} r8a7743-iwg20d-q7-dbcm-ca.dtb;bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr}'
+iWave-G20M > saveenv
+```
+
+Note that `mmcblk0p2` represents the SDCard when running the CIP kernel 4.4. Once the environment variables are setup, you can boot from the SDCard as follows
+
+```
+iWave-G20M > run bootcmd_msd
+```
+
+Finally, to make that persistent set the `bootcmd` variable.
+
+```
+iWave-G20M > setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_msd'
+```

Damn git. I set the --subject-prefix 3 times, the first one being isar-cip-core but it only used the last one.
It seems I had to use one only and do some tricker with the square brackets... I will do next time.

We can add that patch to isar-cip-core until we update to a version that 
contains it -> follow-up patch.

This really shouldn't be allowed to happen.  All the patches applied to
4.4-cip to support this board were already upstream, so this must be a
regression.  If this board is used as a basis for real systems that
need to run beyond EOL of the 4.4-cip branch (~2026), it needs to be
possible to upgrade them to a new kernel version at that time.

Actually, the iwg20m board does work with the upstream Kernel as well as v4.19.y-cip, e.g. [1].

I think it's just that Renesas doesn't intend to support the board with anything other than v4.4.y-cip.

Oh, good.

I understand the desire to limit the support burden.  But I hope that
there is a plan to support a newer kernel version eventually, if
necessary.

OK, I added that and sent the patch to the list. I have also sent you a merge request on gitlab with the 3 patches.

Thanks,
Daniel
