The FVP and Juno settings were identical, but duplicated, so I removed the duplication with this patch.

As config migrates from board config files to Kconfig, when adding CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN to a platform, I decided to add Kconfig support for CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN.

Thanks for trying to do this. The problem however is that you need to use tools/moveconfig.py so that all of the other boards (which is a lot) get updated too, otherwise they fail to build.
Since that's kind of a big thing, can you split this series into a v2 of things which really should be in before the release, and then nice cleanups like this which can go in once the merge window is open again? Thanks!

Thanks Tom.

Yes, I just read another email on the list about using moveconfig.py. That's a big job, as you say.

Thanks!
So I should post a v2 that uses CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN like all the other boards for now? Then submit a new series to use moveconfig.py to Kconfig?
I already tried using moveconfig.py for this and it fails on every instance, from what I can tell. I think the other board configs using the shift operation makes this tricky.
I guess there are two options: make Kconfig support complex values (eg. to allow << operators, etc.) or convert all the other boards to use absolute values. Of course, another option is to leave it alone.

Yeah, for this release at least.

Well, if you can convince the Kconfig folks to take shift operations as valid values on numeric inputs I bet other projects would appreciate it. But it might be easier to start with a "simple" script that finds all of the configs that define it to a shifted value and use printf to convert it to hex. Then moveconfig.py should be able to convert.

No, just no, not more polluting of defconfig files with things which really belong in a per SoC file not a per board file.
I think we can fix the "make savedefconfig" warnings by doing something like this in a per SoC Kconfig file:
if ARCH_SUNXI
defconfig SYS_BOOTM_LEN default 0x0f000000 if ARCH_SUNXI
endif
The second "if ARCH_SUNXI" is necessary to stop the script calling "make savedefconfig" for all boards to clean the defconfig files from complaining.
Please let set per SoC defaults this way rather then turning the defconfig files in a mixture of board / soc settings where as they should really only select the SoC and then contain board specific settings on top of that.
Regards,
Hans

Well, we should be putting SoC/arch-specific stuff into the defaults and also using this as a chance to look at places where defaults differ pointlessly.
But, I also hear your concern. I see Masahiro has been working with merge_config.sh from the kernel in the kernel. How crazy would it be to re-work things (in some cases..) to have a merge in the config process so that there could be a sunxi-common config fragment. Or can/should we really just use default foo if Y in more places.

Agreed, but where, do we add a long list of:
default FOO if ARCH_BAR
To the Kconfig file where the actual CONFIG_SOMETHING gets defined, or do we add it to board/bar/Kconfig ? Currently we've a bit of a mix, I personally prefer the board/bar/Kconfig version as that puts everything for one SoC(-family) in one place and it helps avoiding merge conflicts.
and also using this as a chance to look at places where defaults differ pointlessly.
But, I also hear your concern. I see Masahiro has been working with merge_config.sh from the kernel in the kernel. How crazy would it be to re-work things (in some cases..) to have a merge in the config process so that there could be a sunxi-common config fragment.
Either we then ask the user to take an extra step during building (not a good idea IMHO), or we somehow need to automate this, which is hard because figuring out which foo_common_config fragment belongs to which board_defconfig file is going to be hard and / or will involve a long list of hardcoded values in a Makefile or some such.
Or can/should we really just use default foo if Y in more places.
I believe that this is the better option, currently board/sunxi/Kconfig already has:
config SYS_CLK_FREQ default 912000000 if MACH_SUN7I default 1008000000 if MACH_SUN4I || MACH_SUN5I || MACH_SUN6I || MACH_SUN8I
config SYS_CONFIG_NAME default "sun4i" if MACH_SUN4I default "sun5i" if MACH_SUN5I default "sun6i" if MACH_SUN6I default "sun7i" if MACH_SUN7I default "sun8i" if MACH_SUN8I default "sun9i" if MACH_SUN9I
Apparently these are not a problem for the script which is used to rewrite all the defconfig-s, where as in the past having:
config CMD_FOO default y
in board/sunxi/Kconfig was a problem (it caused the script to emit a ton of warnings IIRC) so I guess that doing something like:
config FOO default bar if ARCH_SUNXI
Will workaround the script issuing all kind of warnings, and then we can keep per SoC(-family) defaults in board/foo/Kconfig.

Hans

vexpress64 kernels are usually over 8 MBytes in length, so setting the max uImage length to 0x4000000 (64 Mbytes) should give us plenty of scope for expansion.
I mostly chose this length to match other board configs that use "(64 << 20)", however, Kconfig doesn't allow arithmetic operations.

First, this is a typo (should be SYS_BOOTM_LEN, not CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN) and second, this sounds more like it should be set as the default for say aarch64 when adding the option to Kconfig. Or maybe a more broad default even. moveconfig.py will help make it clearer how many boards use what.

Create an additional FVP configuration to boot images pre-loaded into DRAM.
Sometimes it's preferential to boot the model by loading the files directly into DRAM via model parameters, rather than using SemiHosting.

Linaro's Juno Android builds requires the androidboot.hardware parameter be set to a know board name.
Non-Android kernels ignore this extra parameter because they don't contain code to parse it.

Add a command to the ARM flash support to check if an image exists or not.
If the image is found, it will return CMD_RET_SUCCESS, else CMD_RET_FAILURE. This allows hush scripts to conditionally load images.
A simple example:

Change the load_image so that it returns success or failure of the command (using CMD_RET_SUCCESS or CMD_RET_FAILURE).
This way, hush scripts can optionally load different files depending upon the system configuration.
A simple example:
if afs load ${kernel_name} ${kernel_addr}; then echo loaded; else echo \ not loaded; fi

Some OS images require an initrd on Juno.
If the file ramdisk.img exists in NOR flash, then we load it and pass the address to the kernel. Otherwise, we pass the "-" parameter as before.

The default Juno firmware has renamed the kernel and device tree filenames to norkern and board.dtb.
Rather than change the default configuration to use the new names, breaking those with the old firmware, attempt to load the existing filename first. If that fails, attempt to load the alternate filename.
I've echo'd that we are loading the alternate file to counter the output from "afs load" when the first load attempt fails. For example, I see this output on my Juno board:
image "Image" not found in flash Loading norkern instead of Image loaded region 0 from 08500000 to 80000000, 00AB6318 bytes image "juno" not found in flash Loading board.dtb instead of juno loaded region 0 from 0A000000 to 83000000, 00003188 bytes

This patch changes the default "root=" parameter to "/dev/sda2".
Many linux based distros use /dev/sda1 for their boot partition; this is often not a rootfs that can be used by the "root=" parameter.
Linaro images use /dev/sda1 as a boot partition, although this of a different nature to a distro image. Linaro uses /dev/sda2 for the rootfs partition.
