[PATCH 0/4] mvebu: Make 2nd-stage booting possible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

one specialty of mvebu is that it has a movable register window. Its
base address is configured within this register range, so there is no
way to find out the current position. The BootROM leaves this window at
0xd0000000, however it is beneficial to move it further to the end of
the address range (usually 0xf1000000) to benefit from more continuous
RAM. For this reason one of the first things that barebox does it to
move the window accordingly. If however barebox is loaded as a second
stage image this results in a crash as the register base address
register is already moved.

This series implements that the called image gets the base address from
the barebox header. It defaults to 0xd0000000 which is right for the
(unaware) BootROM and when barebox jumps into such an image the register
position is passed accordingly.

Best regards
Uwe
