Currently the bootwrapper only works for Fast Models, as the
Versatile Express BootMonitor doesn't allow execution of elf files
with multiple program headers. A workaround is to load the kernel
image separately from the bootwrapper elf file, using BootMonitor.
Note that BootMonitor will crash, when trying to load a uImage
kernel, zImage is needed instead. The same applies for the actual
elf file, it should be flashed, instead of loaded from the MMC.
- A new make target has been added (board), which uses a different
linker script (board.lds.S), without including the kernel image.
- A major difference between the real target and Fast Models, is
that BootMonitor has already placed CPU1 in wfi state.
- In order to run the bootwrapper on CPU1 we have to generate a
software interrupt first and point it to jump to the right
location, by writing the address to SYS_FLAGS.
- Monitor location has been updated to the last 8MBs of the 2GB
memory address space. Previously it was on the last 256MBs.
- Code relocation for CPU1 wfe state, has been moved behind the
monitor section, instead of the initrd region.
