[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] MX28: Add u-boot.mx28.sd and u-boot.mx28.nand make targets

[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] MX28: Add u-boot.mx28.sd and u-boot.mx28.nand make targets

[Marek Vasut]

These targets allow for easy invocation of mxstool, for generating
the u-boot images bootable in mx28 CPU.

the LED on the stick is still blinking after power-on.

Dang, this must be related to bootrom somehow then. Fabio, can you confirm the 
following:

If you turn off the mx28 board, connect usb flashdisc, turn it on -- do you see 
the flashdisc led blinking? Any idea what might cause it? This patch forced the 
VBUS off, so very early in uboot, the USB flash has no way to blink (unless 
there's some surge).

I have just tried it on my mx28evk and I don't see the USB thumb LED to turn on.

Only if I do a "usb reset" that it turns on. Doing a "usb stop" turns
it off as expected.

I would suggest you to compare your USB circuitry  against mx28evk schematics.

I cannot comment on that, as I never looked at the m28evk schematics.

Please use a mx28evk for comparison.

I don't have access to the m28evk schematics, but please double check
if you really need to set this pin to '1' to powerdown the USB, or if
this should be a '0' instead.

So where in your code you powerup the USB?

There should be a:

gpio_direction_output(MX28_PAD_AUART3_TX__GPIO_3_13, 0);

,somewhere in order to power your USB on then.

Sure, board/denx/m28evk/m28evk.c, in board_early_init_f() call. Hm, might as 
well move it to board_init_f() too, but that has no relevance.

There are rules missing to clean up these new images when make clean /
make distclean is used.

Why do we need this special "mx28" part in the name?   I don't see how
this would be useful, but it hurts as you will have to add a (probably
growing) list uf targets to the remove lists. - what's wrong with just
calling these "u-boot.bin.sd" and "u-boot.bin.nand" ?

Would it not be useful to automatically build these images when
someone runs just "make -j8 -s m28evk" (or "./MAKEALL m28evk") ?


Also, I'm a bit surprised about the restrictive permissions of the
resulting images:

-rw-------   1 wd wd  464320 May 23 11:09 u-boot.mx28.sd
-> umask
0002

This should be fixed (probably in tools/mxsboot0 ?

Because there'd then be no way to tell apart u-boot.bin.sd for another target 
but mx28.

Usually, you just want to update the system. You don't need the full image for 
that in NAND case. You do in SD card. Ok, it might be useful.

Maybe add some switch statement based on CONFIG_MX28 or another within the

Well consider some completely different board would want to use the same target 
name -- u-boot.sd -- for the resulting image. How would that be handled?

I fail to understand which problem you see.

All board use the same target name "u-boot.bin" - and everything is
fine.

What would be wrong if all boards would use the same "u-boot.bin.sdcard"
target name?

That such file (u-boot.bin.sdcard) would be generated by a different tool for 
each different board, unlike u-boot.bin . Maybe I'm just flat missing something 
here.

Who cares which tool is building the image?  or why would this matter?

All we need to know is that "u-boot.bin.sdcard" is an image that can
be installed on a SDCard to be booted from.

I think we're missing each others point. So, lemme put it this way:

We have CPU X, which uses sequence of commands, sequence A.
We have CPU Y, which uses sequence of commands, sequence B.

We want make target M, which results in file named F.

How do we make sure the target M will result in file F produced by sequence A if 
u-boot is configured for CPU X && file F produced by sequence B if u-boot is 
configured for CPU Y ?

I think I might have already answered myself ... u-boot is configured for CPU 
X/CPU Y, right?

By cding the neeeded rules depending on what may be needed for one SoC
or another.

Right.  Such CPU (or ARCH) specific code should be placed in the
respective CPU (or ARCH) specific Makefile, and everything will just
work as expected.

So what?  We also use "u-boot.bin" for all targets.  What's the
difference?

Indeed. I consider it useful, too.
