Subject: [PATCH 0/2] get sdm845 boards u-boot usable as a secondary bootloader
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 20:58:15 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220111175817.5973-1-dsankouski@gmail.com> (raw)
U-boot is intended to replace linux kernel in android boot image(ABL), and
it's FIT payload to replace initramfs file. The boot process is similar to
boot image with linux:
- android bootloader (ABL) unpacks android boot image
- ABL sets `linux,initrd-start property` in chosen node in unpacked FDT
- ABL sets x0 register to FDT address, and passes control to u-boot
- u-boot reads x0 register, and stores it in `abl_fdt_addr` env variable
- u-boot reads `linux,initrd-start` property,
and stores it in `abl_initrd_start_addr`
In this way, u-boot bootcmd relies on `abl_initrd_start_addr` env variable,
and boils down to `bootm $abl_initrd_start_addr`. If more control on
boot process is desired, pack a boot script in FIT image, and put it to
default configuration
