Hi Przemyslaw,
I would like to add DTB support for odroid board to be able to boot
upstream kernel easily.
I see 2 ways to do it:
* Add CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG support to set 'board_rev'
and 'board_name' env vars. Then, you need a 'findfdt' script to check
'board_rev' and set fdtfile accordingly (as done for OMAP4 panda
board)
* Set fdtfile name directly (as done for rpi or igep00x0).
What would you prefer?
Guillaume
Is, that the reason of adding the boot script by your last patches?
No, we need a boot script, because this is the way we boot our
openSUSE images (we boot with an initrd and some special bootargs).
Hang on, exynos stuff uses the generic distro hooks. Can you take a
look at doc/README.distro and see what openSUSE can hook into / provide
some feedback on what needs doing? Thanks!
This is true for odroid XU3 (Exynos5 based) but Odroid U3/X2 (Exynos4
based) has no generic distro hooks at the moment.
What we need:
* Boot on boot.scr (mainly to define kernel name, initrd name and bootargs)
If you need some more, than the above, then using boot.scr is required,
but if not, then U-Boot provides this all at default.
* Use (pre-defined) fdtfile, or be able to define it manually if not
already set (or not in sync with Linux kernel)
Guillaume
For odroid_defconfig, the basic things are done automatically.
The variables:
- $fdtfile
- $boardname
are set automatically and are consistent with the mainline kernel file
names, so for U3 the fdtfile is set as "exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb".
If you have u/zImage and fdtfile on the first partition(boot), then it
just boot with defaults.
If you need some more features, then you can use multi config itb format.
The initrd is also loaded automatically.
All images must be stored on $boot partition
Best regards,
