This patchset ports the SPL framework to powerpc. Its based on the SPL generalization lately done by Tom Rini. The patches can be applied on top of his 4th version located here:
http://github.com/trini/u-boot WIP/spl-improvements
Additionally, a new MPC5200 board port is included, the a3m071 board port. This board port uses this SPL framework mainly to speed up booting into the OS (Linux of course). Detection of Linux vs. U-Boot booting is done here by checking the environment variable "boot_os". If "boot_os" is set to "yes", then the OS (Linux) is booted. Otherwise the "real" U-Boot is booted. For this env checking in the SPL, a small restructuring of the env code has been done.
Comments welcome!
Note: I switched to using patman with this 2nd patchset version. Hopefully I didn't screw too much up with this.
Tom, I would prefer, if you could merge some of those patches into your SPL rework series. Perhaps those first 6 patches once we agree on them?
SPL: Fix build problems on ARM with new SPL framework SPL: Use image_get_xxx() functions to access header values SPL: Add option to skip copying of the mkimage header SPL: Add NOR flash booting support powerpc: Extract EPAPR_MAGIC constants into processor.h SPL: Port SPL framework to powerpc
What do you think?
Thanks, Stefan
Changes in v2: - Add option to skip copying of the mkimage header - Rebased on Tom's SPL framework patches v4 - a3m071 build: Concat SPL binary and u-boot.img directly (no padding)
