[U-Boot] [PATCH] Separate EBV Socrates board from Altera Cyclone 5 board

Altera Cyclone 5 board is very different board (big, rectangular, expensive) than EBV Socrates (small, circular, cheap) board. Different parts are used there, too, but same configuration of u-boot works on both. Nevertheless, printing wrong name confuses users.
Therefore this splits the configuration so that u-boot knows they are different. So far it is only used for correcting the puts, but there may be other uses in future.

Looks good to me. Reviewed-by: Chin Liang See clsee@altera.com
In fact, we already make this change at our git at http://rocketboards.org/gitweb/?p=u-boot-socfpga.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads.... Hopefully I can continue to upstream few new patches in coming days. Thanks

Is there any way at run time to tell which board we are on?

Why do you care about board name in general? Just write that it is socfpga and that's it.

We care for board names for a very long time in U-Boot and I'd like to keep this. I actually expect a sensible board name on any platform that I touch. The board name is an important extra information additional to the SoC name. So the question is the other way round - since when do we _not_ care about board names?
Cheers Detlev

There could be i2c memory on board where you can find out this information but that's problematic if it is empty or you want to use this i2c for something else. For all microblaze boards I use XILINX_BOARD_NAME which reflects hw design (if user is smart enough board name is the part of hw design name). For zynq/socfpga sensible solution is probably to load this name for DTS.

Currently, the SOCFPGA SPL is customized through a set of handoff files which located at board folders. These handoff files are generated by tools based on board and user design in FPGA. With that, not much decision being made during run time based on the board. With this handoff and tools approach, it will shield off the complexity of hardware configuration and errors (if user change it manually without tools help). Thanks

Which nice copy of our approach. :-) But anyway I believe that you are also generating one macro which define name of this configuration based on hw design/board you are using. And then you can use this macro for showing board/design name in u-boot.

Is there any way at run time to tell which board we are on?
Why do you care about board name in general?
We care for board names for a very long time in U-Boot and I'd like to keep this. I actually expect a sensible board name on any platform
that
I touch. The board name is an important extra information additional
to
the SoC name. So the question is the other way round - since when do
we
_not_ care about board names?
There could be i2c memory on board where you can find out this
information but that's
problematic if it is empty or you want to use this i2c for something
else.
For all microblaze boards I use XILINX_BOARD_NAME which reflects hw
design
(if user is smart enough board name is the part of hw design name). For zynq/socfpga sensible solution is probably to load this name for
DTS.
Currently, the SOCFPGA SPL is customized through a set of handoff files which located at board folders. These handoff files are generated by tools based on board and user design in FPGA. With that, not much decision being made during run time based on the board. With this handoff and tools approach, it will shield off the complexity of hardware configuration and errors (if user change it manually without tools help). Thanks
Which nice copy of our approach. :-)
Ugh...that came from you guys? I can't stand that approach. Coming from the i.MX world, this makes the end user so reliant on proprietary tools.
Dinh
But anyway I believe that you are also generating one macro which define name of this configuration based on hw design/board you are using. And then you can use this macro for showing board/design name in u-boot.
Thanks, Michal

Hmmm... is it true? This approach being used since few years back at NIOS soft processor. Besides that, we are utilizing the SPL framework for our second stage boot loader. I believe you guys are not using SPL right? It seems you guys would need tools to generate and even build you guys own version of boot loader. It creates high dependency for user to your tools.
For our solution, customer can just grab the code from git and build it using the normal U-Boot way (if they don't want to use the tools). With the SPL also, we are taking advantage of open source community power to make our second stage boot loader more powerful and user friendly to user. Our user can grab any drivers or leverage the supports from the open community too. I believe that is the power of open source :)

Interesting discussion. :-) I believe we will use SPL at some point in future for Microblaze just because of easier maintenance . But will see.
I don't understand your point regarding to tool dependency. For DTSes I believe you are also generating this structure from design tools or you can write it by hand. We are also generating U-boot configuration but if someone wants to write it by hand they can.

Yup, utilizing SPL will gain you the power of open source :)

I believe we have misalignment on the term used. For us, second stage bootloader is referring to the bootloader loaded by BootROM. I believe you guys are referring that as FSBL.

Same as above, I believe both of us are using U-Boot. But for bootloader before U-Boot, we are using SPL while you guys using FSBL which is not SPL framework, right? With that, I believe you guys would need a proprietary tools to compile and build the FSBL. We would not have this dependency when building the SPL code.

I agree with you but still we both have strong dependency on tools regarding to configuration that's why you can do it without tools but still you have to go through tools to get at least bitstream for PL.

zynq: bootrom->fsbl->u-boot-> whatever or bootrom->fsbl-> whatever
microblaze: fsboot->u-boot->whatever.
For you I believe it is for socfpga bootrom->SPL->u-boot-> whatever or bootrom->SPL->whatever
I am not quite sure what you are using for NIOS.

We have a few different and somewhat conflicting concerns right now, and this particular platform is an example of a few of them: 1) It's not only possible, but desirable (seemingly, in this case) to support N boards with a single binary. The space-cost is outweighed by the usability-gain. We're seeing this in Freescale and TI parts, and I bet if I looked a tiny bit harder, other vendors too. 2) We want to know what particular board we're on, and perhaps even as part of deployment build something more trimmed down to just what we're running on.

[weird: I don't see the commit separation line here ("---"). Not that it matters much, just surprising.]
I assume the discussion on this patch is not actually related to the change itself, which is thus OK.
However, it does not apply cleanly on current ARM tree.
Amicalement,

Altera Cyclone 5 board is very different board (big, rectangular, expensive) than EBV Socrates (small, circular, cheap) board. Different parts are used there, too, but same configuration of u-boot works on both. Nevertheless, printing wrong name confuses users. Virtual target is completely different, and board configured for it will not boot on physical targets.
Therefore this splits the configuration so that u-boot knows they are different. So far it is only used for correcting the puts, but there may be other uses in future.

Hi Pavel,
Altera Cyclone 5 board is very different board (big, rectangular, expensive) than EBV Socrates (small, circular, cheap) board. Different parts are used there, too, but same configuration of u-boot works on both. Nevertheless, printing wrong name confuses users. Virtual target is completely different, and board configured for it will not boot on physical targets.
Thanks for the initiative again.
Therefore this splits the configuration so that u-boot knows they are different. So far it is only used for correcting the puts, but there may be other uses in future.

Diff from v1: separate virtual target, too, and make it apply to recent u-boot.

This is a problem that will turn up in the future even more, so I propose to solve it correctly now. It will not be long before we want to have our own configuration for our MCV module and this will certainly be sold by DENX. I think we need an infrastructure to allow for boards sold by arbitrary manufacturers all using the Altera chip.
The situation as such is not uncommon, so maybe you can follow examples from different CPUs? I.e. how is the imx6 handled on the different base boards?

Well, OTOH it is orthogonal problem to the "board name is shared between socrates and altera" and "config is shared between altera and virtual target". And this patch is going to go stale rather quickly.

The examples I seen were different: there different board vendors actually needed different code.
AFAICT, one solution would be to put "-" in that column, and do "git mv board/altera/ board/socfpga/".
But if we decide to go that way, it should really be separate patch.

I admit, I do not understand that fully.

Putting "-" in the vendor column just doesn't feel right. How about using a minimal board C file for socrates under ebv/socrates that only implements checkboard and shares the rest?
But if we decide to go that way, it should really be separate patch.
I still like to see a solution that scales to things we already know will happen ;) Looking at the original patch, with this in mind even the #define ALTERA_BOARD_NAME doesn't look right any longer.
Thanks Detlev

There are no differences between EBV socrates and socfpga boards, currently.
to have our own configuration for our MCV module and this will certainly be sold by DENX. I think we need an infrastructure to allow for boards sold by arbitrary manufacturers all using the Altera chip.
The situation as such is not uncommon, so maybe you can follow examples from different CPUs? I.e. how is the imx6 handled on the different base boards?
The examples I seen were different: there different board vendors actually needed different code.
AFAICT, one solution would be to put "-" in that column, and do "git mv board/altera/ board/socfpga/".
Putting "-" in the vendor column just doesn't feel right.
That's what mx6 did, AFAICT.
How about using a minimal board C file for socrates under ebv/socrates that only implements checkboard and shares the rest?
That does not feel right, either. (Too much changes for too little gain.)
Actually.. there's nothing Altera specific in board/altera (it works on ebv just fine), so board/socfpga sounds like a better name. But I don't think such rename should be done lightly, so I still believe the patch as submitted is the best way to go.
But if we decide to go that way, it should really be separate patch.
I still like to see a solution that scales to things we already know will happen ;) Looking at the original patch, with this in mind even the #define ALTERA_BOARD_NAME doesn't look right any longer.
I don't know what will happen next. Albert asked me to resubmit patch updated to newer code, which I did.

Dear Pavel,

I think Detlev is right here. We do have specific board vendors directories, and there are a number of reasons to keep this used (just to give one example: say a vendor wants to use a similar look and feel for the default environment settings etc. for all boards).
If there is code which is identical for several (or all?) boards we should ask ourself if it really belongs into the board/ directory at all?

I think board/altera as such makes sense, with Altera being the vendor of that specific board. However, if there is common code there, this code should be moved out of board/ .
[Note that I'm just commenting from an outside point of view; I did not check to what extent the "common" code under discussion here is truely common to all possible board configs.]

That might be the case. It seems that current code in board/altera is SoC-specific, as it works on both Altera and EBV boards.

It seems there's currently 99.99% of SoC-specific code there.
What would be the right place for that code? arch/arm/cpu/armv7/socfpga/ ? But it is not really armv7-specific. drivers/misc ? Do we need to make a soc/ directory?
And then... who does the move? It is not going to make merging between rocketboards.org and mainline even trickier than it already is :-(.

Depends on what exactly it implements. Apart from that we can also take a look at where the code is in a Linux tree and take that as an example. After all, we want people developing the Linux kernel to also feel at home in the U-Boot sources.

We have arch/arm/imx-common for example, but I'm not so sure if this is a good approach. Maybe there is not a _single_ correct place, but we have to distribute the files to multiple directories?
And then... who does the move? It is not going to make merging between rocketboards.org and mainline even trickier than it already is :-(.
This is a good question and we should certainly not answer it lightly. Usually we care only to a certain degree for non-mainline code, though. Blocking ourselves because of non-mainline code would allow "external" control which I think is not really helpful for the project.
Cheers Detlev

Yup, some other board vendors are using different HW configuration. Some of the difference are Altera dev kit have EEPROM and using Micrel PHY for EMAC. I presume Socrates board should have their own board path such as board/socrates/socfpga.

Within board/altera, there are 2 types of files as below:
1. HW configuration handoff files (such as pinmux_config, pll_config). Pinmux might be different as certain board might have different routing (normally to optimize the board layout and shorter PCB trace length).
2. Board specific code (socfpga_cyclone5.c) These functions include board_init, board_early_init, checkboard. I believe that the function print_cpuinfo and overwrite _console should goto arch/arm/cpu/armv7/socfpga/misc.c. I will create the patch to change this later (as I already did this at rocketboard.org).

Altera Cyclone 5 board is very different board (big, rectangular, expensive) than EBV Socrates (small, circular, cheap) board. Different parts are used there, too, but same configuration of u-boot works on both. Nevertheless, printing wrong name confuses users.

Therefore this splits the configuration so that u-boot knows they are different. So far it is only used for correcting the puts, but there may be other uses in future.

Diff from v1: separate virtual target, too, and make it apply to recent u-boot.
