[PATCH v2 0/3] board: sophgo: milkv_duo: enable standard boot

[PATCH v2 0/3] board: sophgo: milkv_duo: enable standard boot

[Hiago De Franco]

The Milk-V Duo (CV1800B, 64MB) does not enable CONFIG_BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS
and has no environment file, so U-Boot has no bootcmd and none of the
kernel_addr_r, fdt_addr_r, ramdisk_addr_r, ... variables required by
the extlinux bootmeth.

Enable CONFIG_BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS and add a milkv_duo.env with a memory
layout that fits into the 64MB of DRAM:

  0x80200000  kernel_addr_r       (16MB)
  0x81200000  kernel_comp_addr_r  (16MB, Image.gz decompression)
  0x82200000  fdt_addr_r
  0x82300000  scriptaddr
  0x82400000  pxefile_addr_r
  0x82500000  ramdisk_addr_r

Also reduce CONFIG_STACK_SIZE to 1MB. LMB reserves CONFIG_STACK_SIZE
below the relocated stack pointer, and the default 16MB left only about
1.4MB between ramdisk_addr_r and the reserved region. With 1MB, about
16MB are available for an initrd.

This series depends on Zhuxu Ran's "riscv: sophgo: Use upstream
devicetrees for CV18xx boards" (v5), which sets CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE
to sophgo/<board>, so that fdtfile matches the Linux devicetree install
path (sophgo/cv1800b-milkv-duo.dtb and sophgo/sg2002-milkv-duo256m.dtb).

Tested on Milk-V Duo, booting Linux through "bootflow scan" and an
extlinux.conf on the SD card.

[PATCH v2 1/3] board: sophgo: milkv_duo: add environment for standard boot

[Hiago De Franco]

Add the load addresses needed by standard boot. They must fit in the
64MB of DRAM:

  kernel_addr_r       0x80200000  (16MB)
  kernel_comp_addr_r  0x81200000  (16MB)
  fdt_addr_r          0x82200000
  scriptaddr          0x82300000
  pxefile_addr_r      0x82400000
  ramdisk_addr_r      0x82500000

[PATCH v2 2/3] configs: milkv_duo: enable BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS

[Hiago De Franco]

Enable CONFIG_BOOTSTD_DEFAULTS so the board can boot an extlinux.conf
with standard boot. This sets bootcmd to "bootflow scan" and enables
the script bootmeth, the ext4 commands and ping.

The rest of the diff comes from savedefconfig.

[PATCH v2 3/3] configs: milkv_duo: reduce CONFIG_STACK_SIZE to 1MB

[Hiago De Franco]

LMB reserves CONFIG_STACK_SIZE below the relocated stack pointer. The
default 16MB is a quarter of the 64MB of DRAM on this board and leaves
only about 1.4MB free above ramdisk_addr_r.

Use 1MB, as the other small memory RISC-V boards do (sipeed_maix_bitm,
sipeed_maix_smode). This is well above the 128KiB required by the UEFI
specification, and leaves about 16MB for an initrd.

just a ping about this patch, I do not know if it was picked
yet or If I should wait and rebase on v2027.01-rc1. Can you help please?

I'm only reviewer of the RISC-V architecture, and don't help with picking
patches etc :)

And I think the series (Zhuxu's one) on which it depends hasn't been merged
yet?
