The idea behind B-Boot-v2 is: U-Boot itself is a *great* bootloader from the user's poing of view. It is the best thing we have in the open source market place, and it is especially *much* better than all the redboots, grubs whatever. When we started the v2 effort, we saw that U-Boot has a problem with it's inner design. It was great when the U-Boot project started, but it has (successfully) grown over the years, and as with every project that has not been reworked over more than a decade, it is almost impossible to fix design decisions without breaking all the boards out there. Yes, it works with the Linux kernel, but compare the size of the communities. So our intention was and is: 1. Wolfgang has a focus on stability and gradual changes. We respect this political position because it is a *good* one. 2. We need something else four our ARM, PowerPC, Blackfin and x86 projects. The technical features I'm talking about are in the README document. The focus is on a modern design, extensability and testability, not on feature completeness. 3. It was an active decision from our team *not* to fork and call it something else than U-Boot(-v2) when we started. We see that the U-Boot community is strong, it has long term aims and last but not least, it has a *great* bootloader. We talked to Wolfgang before doing so, and Wolfgang's position was in the spirit of go ahead, here is a git tree, and let the community decide. 4. v2 has been designed with much of the technical ideas of modern Linux kernels in mind; most probably v1 would have done the same if it had started 10 years later. So we think our work fits perfectly into the spirit of the U-Boot project. 4. Yes, community splitup is bad. But if one community has overlapping aims which can be worked on under the same roof - why on earth should we not do this? 5. It may happen that the v1 people take features from v2 and bring them into v1 over the time. Great than - v2 would have done it's job then. 6. It may happen that the v2 community grows over the time and more and more boards will be added. Great then - users would have a choice *within* the U-Boot community, up to a gradual change to the new code base.

Re: [U-Boot] standalone application for ppc internal registers access
Hi eija_flight, I am using GCC inline assembly in standalone applications to access my cpu (ppc) internal registers. And it seems some of the registers were needed by U-boot to run, because when I am accessing some of these registers via standalone applications, the board will go reset or hangs. Is there any method to avoid this reset/hangs matter and peacefully back to U-boot after exiting the standalone applications? because I need to use each of registers, respectively. There once was the extraordinary idea of saving registers before usage and restoring them on exit.

Someone has to show some code, and that's what we did. It is all GPL, so it is as much open or closed doors as anything else. What I missed, and what I still consider a big chance that was missed, is any public discussion about such a new design - before the actual work was started, or at least before such irrevocable decisions were made as not to consider any form of an upgrade path. Until now all we hear is whining about the design, while almost nobody has ever looked into the code. Could you elaborate? What would you like to see? What is there that you don't like?

Then change the environment before running saveenv? Or even better - adjust the default environment so it matches your needs. What's the problem? Thing is I would like to bypass the Uboot commands. Maybe I'll explain my problem a little more detailed. We're using a taskit panelcard based on the Atmel at91sam9261. Atmel provides some boot assistant software (SAM-BA) which allows you to create images and clone them. Now we set up a complete system on the taskit and now we want to start cloning. We were succesfull on this part the only thing is the MAC address sits also in this flash image. We created a script which gets the original MAC address from the board. Inserts it in the flash image file and then writes it to the board. And then we got the CRC error because we didn't recalculate the CRC. We want to include the CRC calculation in our SAM-BA script so that everything is already set and we can skip the Uboot part. This is why I needed some specific info on the CRC calculation. But if I'm unable to calculate the CRC I'll have to go for a second (Uboot) script to set up the environment. But it wont be highly appreciated by our production team :-) It's already a good thing that I can see that the first 4 bytes really look like the CRC of the environment. So this was really helpfull info. Now you tell me it's calculated using the environment. In the source code I found the env variables crc calculated for a size of ENV_SIZE, but I was unable to see how it was defined. Do you have more info on this? Hmmm... grep is your friend. Indeed that's true... but only if you're already friends with Linux Is the environment data (for crc calculation) terminated by a certain char (or sequence of chars) ? No. Not for CRC calculation.

[U-Boot] Enabling smc911x driver
I'm attempting to enable the smc911x driver for the overo omap3 board. Looking at the README and a couple of board config files, it seems that defining CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X, CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_16_BIT (or 32_BIT), and CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_BASE is all that is required. I have also enabled CONFIG_CMD_NET, CONFIG_CMD_DHCP and CONFIG_CMD_PING. The build completes successfully, but it seems that the driver init is never called, so I assume I am missing something. Do I need to add an explicit init call to my board or cpu file? At first glance I don't see that other boards are doing this. Thanks!

Please correct if something is wrong ;) Math is perfectly correct, except in my case CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ is 150MHz, so resolution is actually 12.5 times better. Ok. Is this 150MHz defined in one of the configs you modify with this patch or do you use a custom config? Just curious ;) Perhaps I should modify those boards wich uses 12MHz clock to use smaller divisor, Yes, this should be easily doable by changing CONFIG_SYS_PTV. but let's wait for more comments first. I hope there will be some ;) -/* delay x useconds AND preserve advance timestamp value */ +/* delay usec microseconds preserving timestamp value */ Hmm, 'usec microseconds' sounds somehow confusing? It depends. 'usec' is obviously variable name and 'microsecond' is a time unit, while 'x' is unreferenced variable and 'usec' is abbreviation. And I prefer former (or deleting that part of comment entirely). void udelay (unsigned long usec) { ... + int32_t tmo = usec * (TIMER_CLOCK / 1000) / 1000; + uint32_t now, last = __raw_readl(CONFIG_SYS_TIMERBASE + READ_TIM); The first '1000' should be CONFIG_SYS_HZ? I.e. No. Actually it should read 'usec * (TIMER_CLOCK / (1000 * 1000))', where one '1000' is to get miliseconds and other brings you to microseconds digit place. But integer math needs former writing. Ok, understood. Thanks for the hint! (TIMER_CLOCK / CONFIG_SYS_HZ) / 1000; ? In my udelay patch, I use +tmo = usec * (TIMER_CLOCK / CONFIG_SYS_HZ); +tmo /= 1000; From some printf debugging, for OMAP3 there was a difference doing it in one or two lines. If I remember correctly due to integer vs floating point math and rounding. What do you think? I think all that udelay code is pointless once CONFIG_SYS_HZ always _have_ to be 1000 and can be simplyfied. Running OMAP3 counter with 1.625MHz, max udelay resolution is ~1.62us. If you run with 46875Hz, you have max udelay resolution of ~22us? See above, it is ~1.7us. + while (tmo 0) { + now = __raw_readl(CONFIG_SYS_TIMERBASE + READ_TIM); + if (last now) /* count down timer underflow */ + tmo -= TIMER_LOAD_VAL - now + last; + else + tmo -= last - now; + last = now; I will think about this, I always need some time for this clock math ;) In contrast to OMAP3 your timer here counts down, right? So while OMAP1 has to deal with underflow, OMAP3 will need overflow handling, right? Right, but the key point here is to unbind udelay from get_timer as now get_timer works with miliseconds resolution. I hope I got it right with the updated patch sent some minutes ago.

Wolfgang has a focus on stability and gradual changes. We respect this political position because it is a *good* one. This is not quite correct. What I consider important is an evo- lutionary path - this may include bigger changes and reorganizations, but I consider it a bad idea to not provide a reasonable migration path for larger parts of the existing community. Then start proving your point by removing CONFIG_NET_MULTI. U-Boot carries two incompatible network driver APIs for at least the last seven years and still 19 drivers have not switched to the new API. It was exactly this kind of stagnation that made me fork U-Boot. I was really tired of this ongoing no, please don't break existing code. And honestly, I was so blinded by ifdefs that I couldn't even see what the existing code was. So I started hacking on U-Boot in my spare time, not knowing where this would lead, but I must admit that it was really fun to remove everything which I didn't know for what it was good for. You'd be surprised to see how much dead code hides in U-Boot. Additionally I wanted to see what's possible. Is it possible to integrate a driver model without adding much binary space? Is it possible to create a filesystem layer in this limited space? You see I was in a hacking mood and not in a discuss-on-mailing-lists mood. What would have happened if I posted a I want a driver model mail on the list? Probably one of the first answers would have been U-Boot is about size and simplicity. Some mails later I probably would have gone back to business as usual. Even if I tried to integrate a driver model into current U-Boot, how long would it take till all drivers make use of it given the fact that a simple thing like CONFIG_NET_MULTI stays for seven years? I started this for fun, but I think integrating a driver model into U-Boot without breaking existing stuff is no fun at all and I'm pretty sure none of our customers would have payed us for working on this topic.

I am using U-boot from the linux demo that came with the atmel kit. Please, move to the latest release (e.g. 2009.03), it has a lot of problems solved with USB and sam926x. (Notice also that the Atmel kit provides bootstrap code with a PLLB configured wrong for sam9263, which is solved in latest U-boot releases as well) Kind Regards, Remy ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

[U-Boot] UBOOT relocation question on Atmel arm926ejs
Hi, I am having a hard time understanding how the uboot relocation from flash to RAM happens. I'm trying to follow the code flow. I think I understand it, but wanted to run it by you experts to confirm. The flow starts in cpu/arm926ejs/start.s. In the reset function, after cpu_init_crit, u_boot is relocated to RAM. At the end of the reset function, we jump to start_armboot which is in lib_arm/board.c. At this point, we are already executing out or RAM. Do I have it correct? The reason I'm confused is that in start_armboot we call several functions via an init_sequence table with functions with names that end in _f (meaning in flash). Am I missing something?

You can do this but you better try to understand what you are doing first. A USB stick is not a harddisk drive, and a standard distribution like Debian Lenny is NOT made for use on devices (like USB sticks) that have only a limited number of write cycles per block. At least you should study carefully what others are doing and tweak system behaviour to minimize the number of write operations to the root file system (start looking at things like the noatime mount options, etc.). Then you will notice that you have to make the kernel wait for the root device (the USB stick) to become ready - normally the kernel will try to mount the root file system long before the USB mass storage devices have been initialized. There are several ways around to acchive this - look around. Note that all these things are (1) advanced topics for embedded systems [so you probably want to consult an expert], and they are (2) completely off topic on this U-Boot mailing list.

Please correct if something is wrong ;) Math is perfectly correct, except in my case CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ is 150MHz, so resolution is actually 12.5 times better. Ok. Is this 150MHz defined in one of the configs you modify with this patch or do you use a custom config? Just curious ;) All three 32-bit counters receive a dedicated clock from clock generator module 1 (either CLKIN or DPLL1 output). You will find CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ defined to be 15000 in include/configs/netstar.h and code in board/netstar/setup.S selects DPLL1 as a clock source (and you'll probably notice that netstar's lowlevel_init code looks different from all others just because it was not copied, but written from scratch long before its author even explored u-boot's existence, so take care when copying anything from netstar's config file as it handles low level init different way). Perhaps I should modify those boards wich uses 12MHz clock to use smaller divisor, Yes, this should be easily doable by changing CONFIG_SYS_PTV. Yes, I'll send updated patch. [snip] Right, but the key point here is to unbind udelay from get_timer as now get_timer works with miliseconds resolution. I hope I got it right with the updated patch sent some minutes ago.

Well, *if* we wanted to change the API, that would be a reason to get rid of the old legacy flash drivers. But so far no such API change has been necessary. And here and there the old drivers are even necessary due to restrictions of the CFI driver that are not too easy to fix. So what exactly is it you are critizising? That we don't abondon working code just because it is old? Hm... One of these boards is the Auerswald Innokom, a board Robert once ported. We probably still have it somewhere @Pengutronix, but nobody in the world has any interest in running a top of tree U-Boot on it. Still it is in the tree and by policy it has to be supported for all eternity. Feel free to submit patches to remove it from the tree if you care. On the other hand - how much effort was actually spent on keeping this board alive? Obviously not much, because so far nobody com- plained about it. Actually that's the whole idea about having a board in mainline. If you look at the changes that were applied to the related files, it's all stuff that was done 99% automatically with some scripts - and I don't really care if these are applied to 20 boards or to 200. I fail to understand what you are trying to tell us.

[U-Boot] nand biterr ... got an implementation?
I was hoping that I could use that to test some NAND code, but then I noticed it wasn't implemented. I would have expected that U-Boot command wouldn't exist until they're implemented... I'm hoping someone has an implementation. With at least these characteristics: - Doesn't toggle the same bit each time - Repeating N times on a block introduces N distinct 1-bit errors - Normally affects only the data area, not spare/OOB * although forcing bit errors in ECC would be valuable too * ditto the rest of the OOB ... though likely they'd be ignored Am I hoping in vain? ;) - Dave ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
Re: [U-Boot] implement usb gadget ethernet in uboot
hi remy with your help, i have add my code to uboot and the probe can work. but i still have some questions. 1. After probe, in kernel, i will wait the interrupt generated by insert usb cable , but in uboot, we don`t have interrupt, so how do you deal with it. 2009/4/18 Remy Bohmer li...@bohmer.net Hello, I have implement gadget ethernet in kernel(cdc_subset). But the uboot don`t have gadget framework.how can i implement this feature?Does anyone has this experience? Please take a look at the CDC branch in u-boot-usb. http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-usb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cdc I guess that has everything you are searching for ;-) Patches to add more boards/devices or other improvements are welcome.

Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH v2] Marvell MV88F6281GTW_GE Board support
+#define CONFIG_IPADDR192.168.5.44 +#define CONFIG_SERVERIP 192.168.5.30 +#define CONFIG_NETMASK 255.255.255.0 please remove the IP params Why ? Because these values are only relevant to your lab network, not anybody else who's going to use your boards. Boards should start with a clean slate. This is a hard rule that we've been enforcing for a while now - no address or network parameter initializations in config files. Thanks Ben for clarification. Regards..
