Some patches to fix the Pine64 support:
The first two patches revert two patches that actually broke booting
Pine64 via the boot0 blob, already in 2016.07.
This has been discussed on IRC before, the commit messages contain
some details on the reasons for the revert. As the intent of those
original fixes was to help the (not yet upstream) SPL support, we don't
loose anything as the Pine64 uses the U-Boot proper only at the moment.
Patch 3/4 removes the usage of a non-existing config symbol.
Patch 4/4 fixes a compiler warning when compiling sunxi's board.c
with a 64-bit compiler.
Please apply for the 2016.09 release to allow booting Pine64s with
a recent U-Boot.
I've send out a pull-req with patches 1, 3 and 4 yesterday and
this has been merged.
Thanks a lot! That's very helpful.
Cheers,
Andre.
P.S. I have the SPL support with proper sunxi DRAM init mostly working,
I am fighting with some bugs still (FIT loading related), but I am
confident that this will be ready for the upcoming merge window.
Cool, so do we then still need some closed firmware bits, or is everything
open then ?
Everything is proper FOSS, thanks to Jens, who took the existing U-Boot
H3 DRAM init bits and ported them to support the A64 as well.
Also we don't need any boot0img anymore, mksunxiboot works as expected.
Appending the U-Boot proper directly to the SPL image works already, but
leaves out the ATF and thus SMP :-(
So I have improved SPL FIT support to load multiple images: load both
U-Boot and ATF, but jump to ATF, which in turn drops to U-Boot.
I chose the have the SPL in AArch64 (with a handful of AArch32
instructions in the beginning), which greatly simplifies the build
process. The drawback is increased code size, but I think we can cope
with that.
Yeah we should be able to make things work with a somewhat increased
code size.
Otherwise this all sounds very nice. I'm looking forward to the
first posting of the patches for this.
Regards,
Hans
