Hello!
Is there git tree with u-boot for SPEAr1310 somewhere? I only seen
patches from 2010... Is there easy way to flash resulting u-boot using
BDI?
Thanks,
Pavel

Here a link to the ST git repository:
git://stlinux.com/spear/u-boot.git
Most branches are not based on current mainline U-Boot version though. ST
people might have a better overview here.
Please note that there is currently ongoing effort to port much of this
repository into mainline. From ST and from myself. Stay tuned. The list should
see some updates quite soon...
Please don't hesitate if you have any specific questions.

My experience is mostly SPEAr600 only right now. Not sure if there are bigger
differences between those SoC's in the BootROM. SPEAr600 uses XLoader as SPL.
I ported U-Boot SPL for SPEAr600 though, completely obsoleting XLoader.
Patches are not quite ready for the list though.
Best regards,
Stefan

I believe the spear600 is totally different from 1300. But, simple:
reset halt ; load ... ; go ...
combo should work I believe. In case you're loading some U-Boot SPL, it's very
good idea to put an "asm volatile("x : b x");" line into the SPL to make the CPU
loop instead of try loading uboot. Since if the CPU is looping, you can break it
with BDI, if it isn't looping and jumps to some garbage, it usually ends in
undefined state and bootrom might further tamper with the CPU configuration.

Yes, good point. But a "STARTUP RESET ;no code is executed after reset" seems
to solve this problem as well. At least for me on SPEAr600. I know. Since I
broke my SPL from time to time. ;)

Ah that's good idea indeed, though sometimes you might want to break the
execution after the BootROM, since bootrom might be doing some mandatory chip
init.

I have a problem here: "reset halt" does not reset the board; probably
some kind of BDI problem. I tried playing with BDI config, but was not
successful.
I tried to load u-boot from u-boot using:
u-boot> tftp 0x00700000 192.168.1.1:/spear1310eval/u-boot.bin
Using mii0 device
TFTP from server 192.168.1.1; our IP address is 192.168.20.47
Filename '/spear1310eval/u-boot.bin'.
Load address: 0x700000
Loading: ##############
done
Bytes transferred = 193032 (2f208 hex)
u-boot> go 0x00700000
## Starting application at 0x00700000 ...
U-Boot 2010.03-lsp-3.0-rc7 (Sep 15 2011 - 13:52:19)
SPEAr-emlix-CCLite-BSP-0.11
...it started something. According to gdb it looks like "new" u-boot
executes briefly, but fails in C code while processing intialization,
and it seems that "old" u-boot takes over. (Some kind of failure and
board resets itself?).
Any ideas?
Pavel

Not bad so far. :)

A few thoughts:
- Is this the original (installed in flash) image or different one?
- If it is a new image, did you try booting the original
U-Boot version this way as well?
- Are the load and start addresses ok? Did you check this with the
original images (iminfo)?
Sorry, no more time mow. Into the weekend... ;)
Cheers,
Stefan

Yes, the u-boot resets itself. This is a workaround of a known problem
The code lies at arch/arm/cpu/arm_cortexa8/spear13xx/cpu.c
search for config_spear1300_issue_101435.
It can be disabled during development

Well yea, loading uboot from uboot isn't supported.

Not officially, yes. But for U-Boot images that are loaded via SPL into
already configured SDRAM it might work. At least it does for me on SPEAr600:

Important it the load and start address of course.

The case is same with spear1310. It needs an Xloader to boot. The
differences are a dual core CortexA9 CPU and more peripherals.
The uboot present at "git://stlinux.com/spear/u-boot.git" supports
spear1310.
Please have a look and revert back if you have any doubt
