Add a README to explain the steps for booting mx6sabresd in different ways: 1. Booting via Normal U-Boot (u-boot.imx) 2. Booting via SPL (SPL and u-boot.img) 3. Booting via Falcon mode (SPL launches the kernel directly) Signed-off-by: Diego Dorta <diego.dorta@nxp.com>master

How to use and build U-Boot on mx6sabresd: |
||||
---------------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
Currently there are three methods for booting mx6sabresd boards: |
||||
|
||||
1. Booting via Normal U-Boot (u-boot.imx) |
||||
|
||||
2. Booting via SPL (SPL and u-boot.img) |
||||
|
||||
3. Booting via Falcon mode (SPL launches the kernel directly) |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Booting via Normal U-Boot |
||||
---------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
$ make mx6qsabresd_defconfig (If you want to build for mx6qsabresd) |
||||
|
||||
or |
||||
|
||||
$ make mx6dlsabresd_defconfig (If you want to build for mx6dlsabresd) |
||||
|
||||
$ make |
||||
|
||||
This will generate the image called u-boot.imx. |
||||
|
||||
- Flash the u-boot.imx binary into the SD card: |
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdb bs=1K seek=1 && sync |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Booting via SPL |
||||
------------------ |
||||
|
||||
Other method for building U-Boot on mx6qsabresd and mx6qpsabresd is |
||||
through SPL. In order to do so: |
||||
|
||||
$ make mx6sabresd_spl_defconfig |
||||
$ make |
||||
|
||||
This will generate the SPL image called SPL and the u-boot.img. |
||||
|
||||
- Flash the SPL image into the SD card: |
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdb bs=1K seek=1 && sync |
||||
|
||||
- Flash the u-boot.img image into the SD card: |
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdbbs=1K seek=69 && sync |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Booting via Falcon mode |
||||
-------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
$ make mx6sabresd_spl_defconfig |
||||
$ make |
||||
|
||||
This will generate the SPL image called SPL and the u-boot.img. |
||||
|
||||
- Flash the SPL image into the SD card: |
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdb bs=1K seek=1 oflag=sync status=none && sync |
||||
|
||||
- Flash the u-boot.img image into the SD card: |
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdbbs=1K seek=69 oflag=sync status=none && sync |
||||
|
||||
Create a partition for root file system and extract it there: |
||||
|
||||
$ sudo tar xvf rootfs.tar.gz -C /media/root |
||||
|
||||
The SD card must have enough space for raw "args" and "kernel". |
||||
To configure Falcon mode for the first time, on U-Boot do the following commands: |
||||
|
||||
- Setup the IP server: |
||||
|
||||
# setenv serverip <server_ip_address> |
||||
|
||||
- Download dtb file: |
||||
|
||||
# dhcp ${fdt_addr} imx6q-sabresd.dtb |
||||
|
||||
- Download kernel image: |
||||
|
||||
# dhcp ${loadaddr} uImage |
||||
|
||||
- Write kernel at 2MB offset: |
||||
|
||||
# mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x1000 0x4000 |
||||
|
||||
- Setup kernel bootargs: |
||||
|
||||
# setenv bootargs "console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait quiet rw" |
||||
|
||||
- Prepare args: |
||||
|
||||
# spl export fdt ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr} |
||||
|
||||
- Write args 1MB data (0x800 sectors) to 1MB offset (0x800 sectors) |
||||
|
||||
# mmc write 18000000 0x800 0x800 |
||||
|
||||
- Press KEY_VOL_UP key, power up the board and then SPL binary will |
||||
launch the kernel directly. |
