Improve support for running U-Boot on [Qualcomm] smartphones, with: * A boot menu which can be entered by holding power during boot * Hang on panic (so errors can be read on the display) * Serial gadget which can be enabled by holding volume down or via boot menu
In its current form, U-Boot's boot menu is perfectly adequate, however once an option is picked U-Boot will never return to the menu, always to the CLI. On a phone (with no keyboard), dropping to the CLI effectively makes the device unusable until manually rebooted, since there is no way to run any commands... To rectify this, let's revive CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY for the hush parser and add an option CONFIG_RETRY_BOOTCMD to run the contents of "bootcmd". This provides for a flexible menu system which we can enter and exit. See qcom-phone.env in patch 1 for more details. Finally, provide some rough-ish documentation to describe how Qualcomm phone support works and outline some debugging steps for when UART and the framebuffer are unavailable. --- Changes in v3: - Minor wording/clarification improvements in docs - Introduce CONFIG_RETRY_BOOTCMD rather than changing the default behaviour. - Enable some more gadgets in the phone config fragment. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/[email protected] Changes in v2: - Fix CONFIG_BUTTON_REMAP_PHONE_KEYS name in qcom-phone.config - Add Tom and Simon to CC - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] --- Caleb Connolly (4): board/qualcomm: introduce phone config cli_hush: support running bootcmd on boot retry bootretry: check for bootretry variable changes doc: board/qualcomm: describe phone support and bringup board/qualcomm/qcom-phone.config | 17 ++++++ board/qualcomm/qcom-phone.env | 49 ++++++++++++++++ boot/Kconfig | 7 +++ boot/bootretry.c | 2 + common/cli_hush.c | 6 +- common/cli_hush_upstream.c | 6 +- doc/board/qualcomm/board.rst | 5 ++ doc/board/qualcomm/index.rst | 1 + doc/board/qualcomm/phones.rst | 122 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 211 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 78f8c8c58f7d3f7c3a26af4afbd08aba21c14c90 Caleb Connolly <[email protected]>
