[U-Boot] [PATCH] mxs: mxsboot: Add support for SD card generation for i.MX23

[U-Boot] [PATCH] mxs: mxsboot: Add support for SD card generation for i.MX23

[Otavio Salvador]

The mxsboot now receives the SoC type as parameter to generate binary
compatible with the SoC. Currently the NAND support has not been add
for i.MX23 as it is not yet supported in U-Boot.

[U-Boot] [PATCH] mxs: mxsboot: Add support for SD card generation for i.MX23

[Marek Vasut]

Please fix the NAND support as well, then resubmit.

The patch basically does dd if=u-boot.sb ... bs=512 seek=4 ; any kind of 
information can be stored in those first four blocks and the mx23 bootrom 
ignores it, so what's the gain of this?

I wonder, will MX28 bootrom ignore them as well? Then maybe we can get rid of 
all this SD-specific junk.

Furthermore, I'd like to see all of this reworked as another plugin for mkimage.

Best regards,
Marek Vasut

I won't work on NAND now; first I wish to fix the NAND driver support
to later work in boot support.

Well, it works fine for users. A good gain in my opinion.

Did not test but MX28 expects a BCB data structure (as said in 12.11.2
- MX28RM) while MX23 does not. So I think MX28 won't work without the
BCB.

> Furthermore, I'd like to see all of this reworked as another plugin for mkimage.

Yes; it would be a good long term solution but I don't want to hold it
due any of above reasons. It works fine so improvements can be done
later.

How is a simple documented dd if=... different? It's the same on imx, you have 
to dd u-boot.imx with some offset.

We already have a solution:

dd if=u-boot.sb of=/dev/sdX1 bs=512 seek=4

I think this is enough for now, until all is fixed in proper sequence. That is, 
NAND driver and only after that, mxsboot for NAND _and_ SD . For now, let's hold 
off this patch, add the above dd stuff into documentation (doc/README.mx23) and 
then when all is ready, fix it all properly please.

Well; you blocked olinuxino patch until mxsboot where ported and the
dd with offset were not a solution for you, ... so ...

I prefer to have this as is and share documentation with mx28. The
NAND ought to be done providing same interface so one doc for it all.
I think change it in next version is wrong and confuse users.

So, Fabio, can you please explain this to me? How does the SD boot work on mx23?

Does the inlined patch work on MX23 and MX28? We can use that as a temporary 
workaround.

Make a doc/README.mx23 with quirks needed for MX23. Once the issues are ironed 
out, adjust the readme. No problem.

Ping?

We won't be able to get rid of mxsboot for NAND use-case so I'd prefer
to have it for SD as well. For me it does not matter much as I use OE
and it automates it all; but for ordinary user it is important to it
to be consistent so all 'mxs' SoC would work same way from user point
of view.

If we find a better way of doing things in future we can base on this
and improve it later but please let's get it in and move forward...

Does my proposed patch not work for you? (the one which shifts the bootstream 
payload to block 4 in partition 1)

I gave it a try today.

And it works for mx23evk; I did not test it in mx28.

So what is the plan? I did not check the NAND format yet to know if it
is the same between mx28 and mx23 but I do want the machines merged as
soon as possible so people can play with it and find bugs.

The plan is to:
1) Figure out what's with MX23 -- did you place FSL supp. ticket already?
2) If 1) fails, try my patch on mx28 (since mx23 ignores it anyway and we can't 
figure out why?)

I contacted someone internal which is trying to find it out.

I'd prefer to go with 2 in meanwhile. Could you please prepare a patch for it?

My mx28evk does not boot with this patch applied.

As it does not work in mx28evk I'd prefer to use my previously
proposed patch as it keeps clear what is done for mx23 and mx28. What
people think?

Can you add this section to arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/u-boot-imx28.bd

-->8--
options {
       driveTag = 0x00;
       flags = 0x01;
}
--8<--

and paste the output you get on serial port? the flags = 1 should enable debug 
output from the bootrom.

NAK. Your patch is just adding churn, which the bootrom ignores. Did you manage 
to get reply from FSL why the bootrom ignores it already?

Well; your patch does the same but reuses the churn from mx28. Nobody replied.

So let's wait for the official reply from FSL. Can you tell me the support
