v3 cover Add atmel ROM code image

This series add atmelimage support to mkimage.

An atmelimage is a quite dumb image type cause it has no real header. The file is mostly unmodified but the 6'th ARM vector gets replaced by the image size to load.

Heiko, I know your approach setting the vector in start.S but I think this solution is a bit smarter. We would need to patch at least 2 start.S files (arm926ejs and armv7), maybe also the arm920t one too. In fact is the conversion of executable BLOB to ROM detected executable BLOB something that should really be done afterwards as all other SoC vendors do.

In version 2 of this patchset the atmelimage mkimage target can also generate PMECC NAND header.

In version 3 of this patchset the new host tool atmel_pmecc_params generate the configuration string for mkimage with the same settings used in atmel_nand driver.

Changes in v3:
* remove check for 'usePmecc=y'
* add atmel_pmecc_params host tool, it generates an appropriate string for mkimage -n switch with compiled in values also used in atmel_nand driver
* use CONFIG_SPL_GENERATE_ATMEL_PMECC_HEADER

Changes in v2:
* do not check filesize in atmelimage
* add PMECC header generation and printout
* add printout of 6'th vector
* add -n switch to mkimage for PMECC type NAND and CONFIG_SYS_NANDFLASH

Additionally the PMECC header can be written by the atmelimage target. The parameters must be given via the -n switch as a coma separated list. For example:

A provided image can be checked for correct header setup. It prints out the PMECC header parameters if it has one and the 6'th interrupt vector content.

PATCH v3 1/3 mkimage: add atmelimage

In reply to Andreas Bießmann

Dear Andreas Bie?mann,

Quoted 48 lines · Andreas Bie?mann

The new atmelimage converts a machine code BLOB to bootable ROM image. Atmel ROM has no sophisticated image format, it only checks the first 7 ARM vectors. The vectors can contain valid B or LDR opcodes, the 6'th vector contains the image size to load.

Additionally the PMECC header can be written by the atmelimage target. The parameters must be given via the -n switch as a coma separated list. For example:

mkimage -T atmelimage \

(quoted diff) +0 -2
-n usePmecc=1,sectorPerPage=4,sectorSize=512,spareSize=64,eccBits=4,eccOffset=36 \
-d spl/u-boot-spl.bin boot.bin

A provided image can be checked for correct header setup. It prints out the PMECC header parameters if it has one and the 6'th interrupt vector content.

A SPL binary modified with the atmelimage mkimage target was succesfully booted on a sama5d34ek via MMC and NAND.

---
Changes in v3:
* remove check for 'usePmecc=y'

Changes in v2:
* do not check filesize in atmelimage
* add PMECC header generation and printout
* add printout of 6'th vector

PATCH v3 2/3 arm:at91: enable ROM loadable atmel image

In reply to Andreas Bießmann

For sama5d3xek we need to modify the SPL image for correct detection by ROM code.

---

Changes in v3:
* add atmel_pmecc_params host tool, it generates an appropriate string for mkimage -n switch with compiled in values also used in atmel_nand driver

Changes in v2:
* add -n switch to mkimage for PMECC type NAND and CONFIG_SYS_NANDFLASH

+How to enable PMECC header for direct programmable boot.bin
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+2014-05-19 Andreas Bie?mann <[email protected]>
+
+The usual way to program SPL into NAND flash is to use the SAM-BA Atmel tool.
+This however is often not usable when doing field updates. To be able to
+program a SPL binary into NAND flash we need to add the PMECC header to the
+binary before. Chapter '12.4.4.1 NAND Flash Boot: NAND Flash Detection' in
+sama5d3 SoC spec (as of 03. April 2014) defines how this PMECC header has to
+look like. In order to do so we have a new image type added to mkimage to
+generate this PMECC header and integrated this into the build process of SPL.
+
+To enable the generation of atmel PMECC header for SPL one need to define
+CONFIG_SPL_GENERATE_ATMEL_PMECC_HEADER. The required parameters are taken from
+board configuration and compiled into the host tools atmel_pmecc_params. This
+tool will be called in build process to parametrize mkimage for atmelimage
+type. The mkimage tool has intentionally _not_ compiled in those parameters.
+
+The mkimage image type atmelimage also set the 6'th interrupt vector to the
+correct value. This feature can also be used to setup a boot.bin for MMC boot.
