[PATCH u-boot-marvell 00/10] tools: kwboot: Fix boot and terminal mode

This patch series fixes sending boot and debug patterns by doing it in separate thread. Entering BootROM debug mode via '-d' option is now more stable and working fine on Armada 385. There is also support for backspace key and updated documentation.
Stefan and Tony, could you test this patch series on more Marvell boards which you have? Specially if '-d' option is working too.

Failure of kwboot_tty_send() and tcflush() functions is fatal, it does not make sense to continue. So return error back to the caller like in other places where are called these functions.

Function kwboot_debugmsg() is always called with kwboot_msg_debug as msg and function kwboot_bootmsg() with kwboot_msg_debug as msg. Function kwboot_bootmsg() is never called with NULL msg.
Simplify, cleanup and remove dead code.
No functional change.

After BootROM successfully detects boot message pattern on UART it waits until host stop sending data on UART. For example Armada 385 BootROM requires that host does not send anything on UART at least 24 ms. If host is still sending something then BootROM waits (possibly infinitely).
BootROM successfully detects boot message pattern if it receives it in small period of time after power on.
So to ensure that host put BootROM into UART boot mode, host must send continuous stream of boot message pattern with a small gap (for A385 at least 24 ms) after series of pattern. But this gap cannot be too often or too long to ensure that it does not cover whole BootROM time window when it is detecting for boot message pattern.
Therefore it is needed to do following steps in cycle without any delay: 1. send series of boot message pattern over UART 2. wait until kernel transmit all data 3. sleep small period of time
At the same time, host needs to monitor input queue, data received on the UART and checking if it contains NAK byte by which BootROM informs that xmodem transfer is ready.
But it is not possible to wait until kernel transmit all data on UART and at the same time in the one process to also wait for input data. This is limitation of POSIX tty API and also by linux kernel that it does not provide asynchronous function for waiting until all data are transmitted. There is only synchronous variant tcdrain().
So to correctly implement this handshake on systems with linux kernel, it is needed to use tcdrain() in separate thread.
Implement sending of boot message pattern in one thread and reading of reply in the main thread. Use pthread library for threads.
This change makes UART booting on Armada 385 more reliable. It is possible to start kwboot and power on board after minute and kwboot correctly put board into UART boot mode.
Old implementation without separate thread has an issue that it read just one byte from UART input queue and then it send 128 message pattern to the output queue. If some noise was on UART then kwboot was not able to read BootROM response as its input queue was just overflowed and kwboot was sending more data than receiving.
This change basically fixed above issue too.

-d option is currently broken. In most cases BootROM does not detect this message pattern. For sending debug message pattern it is needed to do same steps as for boot message pattern.
Implement sending debug message pattern via same separate thread like it is for boot message pattern.
Checking if BootROM entered into UART debug mode is different than detecting UART boot mode. When in boot mode, BootROM sends xmodem NAK bytes. When in debug mode, BootROM activates console echo and reply back every written byte (extept \r\n which is interpreted as executing command and \b which is interpreting as removing the last sent byte).
So in kwboot, check that BootROM send back at least 4 debug message patterns as a echo reply for debug message patterns which kwboot is sending in the loop.
Then there is another observation, if host writes too many bytes (as command) then BootROM command line buffer may overflow after trying to execute such long command. To workaround this overflow, it is enough to remove bytes from the input line buffer by sending 3 \b bytes for every sent character. So do it.
With this change, it is possbile to enter into the UART debug mode with kwboot -d option.

Marvell BootROM recognize only '\b' byte as backspace. Use terminfo for retrieving current backspace sequence and replace any occurrence of backspace sequence by the '\b' byte.
Reading terminfo database is possible via tigetstr() function from system library libtinfo.so.*. So link kwboot with -ltinfo.
Normally terminfo functions are in <term.h> system header file. But this header file conflicts with U-Boot "termios_linux.h" header file. So declare terminfo functions manually.

Hi Pali,
The patch did not apply cleanly to the master branch (I downloaded the series from patchwork). Do you have a link where I can use it?
Thanks, Tony

Stefan and Tony, could you test this patch series on more Marvell boards which you have? Specially if '-d' option is working too.

Ou. This needs to be fixed.
Could you try adjust "-s" argument? Default value is 50. My tests showed that Armada 385 is better detected with value 24. And some old documentation says that Armada XP needs value 1000.
Thanks, Tony

Hi Pali,
It seems the problem was with the ActionTec MI424WR-I board quirk. It has nothing to do with the new kwboot on Avanta SoC. Sorry for the false alarm!
I spent a couple hours running with various delays for the option -s, even with 50, and it all works fine! Uhm... So I went back to the default run (without -s) and it also worked. All these tests were done with a cold start each time.
So that's when I realized it was probably a quirk with this board. Sometimes the warm boot caused problems for the serial port. But the new kwboot will work whenever I coldstart (power cycle).
Thanks for a new and improved kwboot!

I've never used '-d' before. Seems to work though on my Armada XP board:

Also UART booting still works.
