[PATCH 1/3] binman: Add nxp_imx8mimage etype

Add new binman etype derived from mkimage etype which generates configuration input file for mkimage -T imx8mimage, and runs the mkimage on input data. The mkimage -T imx8mimage is used to generate combined image with SPL and DDR PHY blobs which is bootable on i.MX8M.
The configuration file generated here is equivalent of imx8mimage.cfg, which is the file passed to '$ mkimage -T imx8mimage -n imx8mimage.cfg ...' . The settings generated into the imx8mimage.cfg file are configured via supported binman DT properties, nxp,boot-from, nxp,loader-address, nxp,rom-version.

Include imx8mq-u-boot.dtsi in the board -u-boot.dtsi to pull in binman configuration instead of duplicating it in the board -u-boot.dtsi again. Drop the duplicate binman configuration.

Rework the flash.bin image generation such that it uses the new binman nxp_imx8mimage etype. This way, the flash.bin is assembled in correct order using plain binman, without any workarounds or sections assembled in special DT node order.
Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut marex@denx.de --- WARNING: This is very likely to break corner case uses, so please do test this on your platform. NOTE: This also opens the implementation for proper CST signing etype, the CST signing would look similar to nxp-imx8mimage section, and it would likely wrap the whole topmost section {} in the binman node. --- Cc: "NXP i.MX U-Boot Team" uboot-imx@nxp.com Cc: Adam Ford aford173@gmail.com Cc: Alper Nebi Yasak alpernebiyasak@gmail.com Cc: Andrejs Cainikovs andrejs.cainikovs@toradex.com Cc: Angus Ainslie angus@akkea.ca Cc: Emanuele Ghidoli emanuele.ghidoli@toradex.com Cc: Fabio Estevam festevam@gmail.com Cc: Francesco Dolcini francesco.dolcini@toradex.com Cc: Marcel Ziswiler marcel.ziswiler@toradex.com Cc: Rasmus Villemoes rasmus.villemoes@prevas.dk Cc: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org Cc: Stefan Eichenberger stefan.eichenberger@toradex.com Cc: Stefano Babic sbabic@denx.de Cc: Tim Harvey tharvey@gateworks.com Cc: Tom Rini trini@konsulko.com Cc: kernel@puri.sm Cc: u-boot@dh-electronics.com Cc: u-boot@lists.denx.de --- arch/arm/dts/imx8mm-u-boot.dtsi | 126 ++++++--------- .../dts/imx8mm-verdin-wifi-dev-u-boot.dtsi | 8 +- arch/arm/dts/imx8mn-u-boot.dtsi | 147 +++++++----------- arch/arm/dts/imx8mp-dhcom-u-boot.dtsi | 2 +- arch/arm/dts/imx8mp-rsb3720-a1-u-boot.dtsi | 2 +- arch/arm/dts/imx8mp-u-boot.dtsi | 96 +++++------- arch/arm/dts/imx8mq-librem5-r4-u-boot.dtsi | 15 +- arch/arm/dts/imx8mq-u-boot.dtsi | 109 +++++-------- 8 files changed, 203 insertions(+), 302 deletions(-)

Marek,
Thanks - this is neat and I look forward to seeing a CST signing etype!

I did test this on imx8mm_venice_defconfig and it worked great: Tested-By: Tim Harvey tharvey@gateworks.com # imx8mm_venice
This likely paves the way for removing IMX_CONFIG

The whole collected batch of patches is here:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-usb/-/commits/test-cst?ref_t...
I believe this will need tweaking, we will probably need more DT properties to configure the content of the CST config file more precisely. But this could be a start.

This introduced a regression on the 8M Nano with CONFIG_FSPI_CONF_HEADER set. As is, the board doesn't appear to do anything.
Looking at the binary blob that is generated, the offset for the SPL phase is missing, so SPL starts at 0x5c0 instead of 0x1000, but adding offset = <0x1000> isn't sufficient.
Adding the offset = <0x1000> starts the SPL phase, but it hangs right away and doesn't past the version message: U-Boot SPL 2024.07-rc1-00155-g37e50627ef-dirty (Nov 06 2024 - 19:16:52 -0600)
<hangs here>
I have only tested this on a Nano, but I think the issue would likely affect Plus since their boot ROM is similar. I currently don't have a Mini in my possession right now, so I cannot verify the behavior on it.
From what I can tell, reverting this patch appears to restore boot
operation. I don't know enough about the mkimage tool, but I have tried changing nxp,boot-from and that doesn't seem to fix it either.
When I diff the binaries, it looks like a fairly significant about of the values have changed, but the various magic numbers and offets appear correct. This makes me wonder if setting the offsets being passed to mkimage are getting in the way.
If remove the references to CONFIG_FSPI_CONF_HEADER in the device tree, a regular image is built. I then use dd to create a new file which has the FSPI header at 0x400, and moves the beginning of the rest of the image to 0x1000. This process boots the board just fine. This leads me to believe that something in the imx8 mkimage tool is doing something different when fspi is enabled.

I'd like to rework the binman to build a standard flash.bin without the Flexspi stuff, then create a second file like fspi.bin (or something similar) which inserts the FSPI header at 0x400 and then just places the entirely of flash.bin contents placed at 0x1000 in a way that doesn't pass these offsets to imx8 mkimage tool.
Any ideas how to do this? I am not all that familiar with binman. A similar question was asked before on another thread too.

This introduced a regression on the 8M Nano with CONFIG_FSPI_CONF_HEADER set. As is, the board doesn't appear to do anything.
Looking at the binary blob that is generated, the offset for the SPL phase is missing, so SPL starts at 0x5c0 instead of 0x1000, but adding offset = <0x1000> isn't sufficient.
Adding the offset = <0x1000> starts the SPL phase, but it hangs right away and doesn't past the version message: U-Boot SPL 2024.07-rc1-00155-g37e50627ef-dirty (Nov 06 2024 - 19:16:52 -0600)
<hangs here>
I have only tested this on a Nano, but I think the issue would likely affect Plus since their boot ROM is similar. I currently don't have a Mini in my possession right now, so I cannot verify the behavior on it.
I think Lukasz was able to reproduce it on Mini. I have a few Mini here, but none of them use FSPI.
iMX8MP never supported FSPI ?
From what I can tell, reverting this patch appears to restore boot operation. I don't know enough about the mkimage tool, but I have tried changing nxp,boot-from and that doesn't seem to fix it either.
When I diff the binaries, it looks like a fairly significant about of the values have changed, but the various magic numbers and offets appear correct. This makes me wonder if setting the offsets being passed to mkimage are getting in the way.
If remove the references to CONFIG_FSPI_CONF_HEADER in the device tree, a regular image is built. I then use dd to create a new file which has the FSPI header at 0x400, and moves the beginning of the rest of the image to 0x1000. This process boots the board just fine. This leads me to believe that something in the imx8 mkimage tool is doing something different when fspi is enabled.
[...]
I'd like to rework the binman to build a standard flash.bin without the Flexspi stuff, then create a second file like fspi.bin (or something similar) which inserts the FSPI header at 0x400 and then just places the entirely of flash.bin contents placed at 0x1000 in a way that doesn't pass these offsets to imx8 mkimage tool.
That looks like a workaround . It would be much better if binman would generate suitable flash.bin blob with FSPI header. Maybe the FSPI header needs to be generated by binman using yet another etype, and the SPL/U-Boot have to be positioned properly according to the binman node content in imx8mm-u-boot.dtsi ?
(I also have hard time with binman tool)

I've managed to nail down which offsets are shifted by 0x1000. The "only" only problem is to add this "fix" to binman... :)
