mx6sabresd: Add README file
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>

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.
