- A new output binary (board.axf) has been added exclusively for
board usage, which uses a different linker script (board.lds.S).
- BootMonitor has already placed secondary CPUs in wfi state,
generate a software interrupt first and point other cores to
jump to the right location by writing the address to SYS_FLAGS.
- Make room for atags, which are populated from BootMonitor's loader,
at memory address 0x80000100.
- Code relocation for secondary cores in wfe state, has been moved
further back to a safer location than the initrd region.
Usage example in BootMonitor (atags passing idea by Marc Zyngier):
- load zImageDT LOAD_ADRESS 0x80008000
- flash linux boot board earlyprintk console=ttyAMA0 mem=...
Or run the image itself, with default atags being set via config.mk:
- load zImageDT LOAD_ADDRESS 0x80008000
- flash run board
Tested on:
- Dual/single cluster FastModels
- V2P-CA15-TC1 CoreTile
- V2P-CA15-A7-TC2 CoreTile (single cluster and big.LITTLE operation)
