Even though we do use a label to return from save_boot_params, save_boot_params could still use r0 to return stuff, like you did in your previous patch-set, or we could add a global variable to start.S which lives in .data and gets initialized with 0, and save_boot_params could optionally save some skip flags there. Note this dropping of #ifdefs can wait till after v2015.04, for now this patch-set should get fel mode working as before which is the goal for v2015.04.

OK. It's just as easy for me to do this now, but Albert was not keen on doing this at run-time. So if you can remove the #ifdefs by calling back into the BROM that would probably be better. For now I think Albert prefers the #ifdefs. >> This series is available at u-boot-dm, branch sunxi-working. >> >> Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> >> --- >> [snip] Regards, Simon

Calling back into the BROm, rather then returning into it means that usb needs to get re-initialized and the usb-host will see a usb disconnect / reconnect, which is not really pretty, so I would like to avoid that, and instead use something like your proposed runtime checking with flags > For now I think Albert prefers the #ifdefs. #ifdefs are fine for v2015.04, but for v2015.07 I really believe we need something runtime so that we can move to one unified loader for sunxi. Albert can you give us some guidance on how we can best implement runtime checks like the ones which Simon did with flags stored in r0 in his initial patch-set ? Regards, Hans

It looks like we are finally getting really close to resolving the sunxi FEL boot problem.

This allows us to avoid the sunxi specific ifdefs in the core ARM code. In this particular case, restoring VBAR and CPSR is important because the BROM code uses an IRQ handler for FEL (presumably USB related). And we want to ensure that this IRQ handler works properly again after resuming the FEL code. > /* Set V=0 in CP15 SCTLR register - for VBAR to point to vector */ > mrc p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0 @ Read CP15 SCTLR Register > bic r0, #CR_V @ V = 0 > @@ -67,7 +68,9 @@ save_boot_params_ret: > > /* the mask ROM code should have PLL and others stable */ > #ifndef CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT > +#ifndef CONFIG_SPL_FEL Same here. > bl cpu_init_cp15 > +#endif > bl cpu_init_crit > #endif > > diff --git a/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/Makefile b/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/Makefile > index 48db744..c1b975a 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/Makefile > +++ b/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/Makefile > @@ -38,7 +38,5 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_SUN5I) += dram_sun4i.o > obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_SUN6I) += dram_sun6i.o > obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_SUN7I) += dram_sun4i.o > obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_SUN8I) += dram_sun8i.o > -ifdef CONFIG_SPL_FEL > -obj-y += start.o > -endif > +obj-y += fel_utils.o > endif > diff --git a/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c b/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c > index 6e28bcd..b7492ac 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c > +++ b/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c > @@ -27,6 +27,13 @@ > > #include <linux/compiler.h> > > +struct fel_stash { > + uint32_t sp; > + uint32_t lr; > +}; struct fel_stash { uint32_t sp; uint32_t lr; uint32_t cpsr; uint32_t sctlr; uint32_t vbar; uint32_t cr; }; > +struct fel_stash fel_stash __attribute__((section(".data"))); > + > static int gpio_init(void) > { > #if CONFIG_CONS_INDEX == 1 && defined(CONFIG_UART0_PORT_F) > @@ -65,6 +72,12 @@ static int gpio_init(void) > return 0; > } > > +void spl_board_load_image(void) > +{ > + debug("Returning to FEL sp=%x, lr=%x\n", fel_stash.sp, fel_stash.lr); > + return_to_fel(fel_stash.sp, fel_stash.lr); > +} > + > void s_init(void) > { > #if defined CONFIG_MACH_SUN6I || defined CONFIG_MACH_SUN8I > @@ -95,6 +108,14 @@ void s_init(void) > */ > u32 spl_boot_device(void) > { > + /* > + * Have we been asked to return to the FEL portion of the boot ROM? > + * TODO: We need a more robust test here, or bracket this with > + * #ifdef CONFIG_SPL_FEL. > + */ > + if (fel_stash.lr >= 0xffff0000 && fel_stash.lr < 0xffff4000) > + return BOOT_DEVICE_BOARD; > return BOOT_DEVICE_MMC1; It is probably better to do it this way: #ifdef CONFIG_SPL_FEL return BOOT_DEVICE_BOARD; #else if (memcmp((void *)4, "eGON.BT0", 8) == 0) return BOOT_DEVICE_MMC1; else return BOOT_DEVICE_BOARD; #endif The memcmp (or equivalent code) ensures that it is compatible with https://github.com/ssvb/sunxi-tools/commit/aa7e1880986e5c9a825b08aed9dc5621b821805f Then the new 'fel spl u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin' command for loading and executing the SPL works fine without CONFIG_SPL_FEL defined (because the SD card specific "eGON.BT0" signature is replaced with the "eGON.FEL" signature by the 'fel' tool in the device memory before transferring control to the SPL code). Needless to say that the SPL built this way still works when written to the SD card. And if CONFIG_SPL_FEL is defined, then the FEL support still works in a legacy way (via 'fel write 0x2000 u-boot-spl.bin; fel exe 0x2000').

Now it seems to be moved to 0x8000, which might be fine though, according to the memory map from https://github.com/hno/Allwinner-Info/blob/master/FEL-usb/USB-protocol.txt If we want to preserve the old behaviour, then we would need to place it around 0x5d00.

We could indeed. It would avoid the #ifdef but my understanding is that you might be able to avoid having to 'return' to the BROM through another means.

I can certainly incorporate this into the patch. Is that what you would prefer?

I just previously thought that the FEL tool could store the return address somewhere in beginning of SRAM in the eGON header extension. In this case, restoring the 'lr' and 'sp' registers would be unnecessary and the use of the 'save_boot_params' function could be dropped. But if we still need to save/restore VBAR and the other control registers, then this idea about not saving 'lr' and 'sp' does not really improve anything.

This is a way not to touch the Albert's code in 'start.S', but instead deal with the problem in the sunxi code. If Albert has objections against the introduction of special flags to skip setup of these control registers, then I think that saving them early and restoring back to the original values when returning back to the BROM as the only possible alternative. The BROM will not be able to work correctly if the VBAR register is clobbered by the SPL. Yes, this all is a bit odd. But as Hans explained earlier, the main u-boot binary has to be pretty much standalone and can't rely on the stuff being configured by the SPL: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-January/202204.html [...] > > One more theoretical concern is the placement of the stack in the legacy > > FEL mode after your changes.

I'm just applying these changes on top of your patches (just all the same as is discussed here): https://github.com/ssvb/u-boot-sunxi/commit/6385323f7704b3802f594a05fc8c373a4617ebbc And after this, the CONFIG_SPL_FEL define becomes unnecessary. Even though this old method still works (relying on the CONFIG_SPL_FEL define and uploading the SPL to 0x2000). You could squash these changes in your third patch if nobody has objections. Regarding the stack location. The stack at 0x8000 might be also perfectly fine. We have not done a detailed analysis of the BROM disassembly, so can't be absolutely sure about anything. But based on just treating the BROM as a black box and running some experimental tests, it looks OK so far. Maybe Hans has an opinion about how we should deal with it?

I believe that the patch I sent works OK. So maybe the best thing is for you to send a new patch on top of that. If Albert can ACK my series (+/- the last patch) and then you can take it through the sunxi tree I think. (I don't mind, this is just a suggestion). What I am getting at is that I feel I have provided a possible solution but I don't want to get in the way of you deciding how best to arrange things for sunxi. I think it is reasonable for you to merge a few changes on top of what I have for this release. My goal is to drop gdata. I'm really pleased to learn about FEL but I don't mind too much exactly how it works. Regards, Simon

Make sunxi's FEL code fit with the normal U-Boot boot sequence instead of creating its own. There are some #ifdefs required in start.S. Future work will hopefully remove these. This series is available at u-boot-dm, branch sunxi-working. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> --- Changes in v2: - Adjust for new save_boot_params() API - Drop patch to change r0 to r2 in start.S - Add #ifdefs to start.S to deal with FEL - Use 'Fast Early Loader' as the full name for FEL arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S | 5 +- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/Makefile | 4 +- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/board.c | 21 ++++++++ arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/config.mk | 2 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/fel_utils.S | 25 +++++++++ arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/u-boot-spl-fel.lds | 82 ----------------------------- arch/arm/include/asm/arch-sunxi/sys_proto.h | 10 ++++ board/sunxi/Kconfig | 10 ++++ include/configs/sunxi-common.h | 6 +-- scripts/Makefile.spl | 2 - 10 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 94 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/fel_utils.S delete mode 100644 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/sunxi/u-boot-spl-fel.lds
