U-Boot for Freescale i.MX6
|
|
|
|
This file contains information for the port of U-Boot to the Freescale i.MX6
|
|
SoC.

|
|
1. CONVENTIONS FOR FUSE ASSIGNMENTS
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1.1 MAC Address: It is stored in fuse bank 4, with the 32 lsbs in word 2 and the
|
|
16 msbs in word 3[15:0].
|
|
For i.MX6SX and i.MX6UL, they have two MAC addresses. The second MAC address
|
|
is stored in fuse bank 4, with the 16 lsb in word 3[31:16] and the 32 msbs in
|
|
word 4.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
For reading the MAC address fuses on a MX6Q:
|
|
|
|
- The MAC address is stored in two fuse addresses (the fuse addresses are
|
|
described in the Fusemap Descriptions table from the mx6q Reference Manual):
|
|
|
|
0x620[31:0] - MAC_ADDR[31:0]
|
|
0x630[15:0] - MAC_ADDR[47:32]
|
|
|
|
In order to use the fuse API, we need to pass the bank and word values, which
|
|
are calculated as below:
|
|
|
|
Fuse address for the lower MAC address: 0x620
|
|
Base address for the fuses: 0x400
|
|
|
|
(0x620 - 0x400)/0x10 = 0x22 = 34 decimal
|
|
|
|
As the fuses are arranged in banks of 8 words:
|
|
|
|
34 / 8 = 4 and the remainder is 2, so in this case:
|
|
|
|
bank = 4
|
|
word = 2
|
|
|
|
And the U-Boot command would be:
|
|
|
|
=> fuse read 4 2
|
|
Reading bank 4:
|
|
|
|
Word 0x00000002: 9f027772
|
|
|
|
Doing the same for the upper MAC address:
|
|
|
|
Fuse address for the upper MAC address: 0x630
|
|
Base address for the fuses: 0x400
|
|
|
|
(0x630 - 0x400)/0x10 = 0x23 = 35 decimal
|
|
|
|
As the fuses are arranged in banks of 8 words:
|
|
|
|
35 / 8 = 4 and the remainder is 3, so in this case:
|
|
|
|
bank = 4
|
|
word = 3
|
|
|
|
And the U-Boot command would be:
|
|
|
|
=> fuse read 4 3
|
|
Reading bank 4:
|
|
|
|
Word 0x00000003: 00000004
|
|
|
|
,which matches the ethaddr value:
|
|
=> echo ${ethaddr}
|
|
00:04:9f:02:77:72
|
|
|
|
Some other useful hints:
|
|
|
|
- The 'bank' and 'word' numbers can be easily obtained from the mx6 Reference
|
|
Manual. For the mx6quad case, please check the "46.5 OCOTP Memory Map/Register
|
|
Definition" from the "i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processor Reference Manual,
|
|
Rev. 1, 04/2013" document. For example, for the MAC fuses we have:
|
|
|
|
Address:
|
|
21B_C620 Value of OTP Bank4 Word2 (MAC Address)(OCOTP_MAC0)
|
|
|
|
21B_C630 Value of OTP Bank4 Word3 (MAC Address)(OCOTP_MAC1)
|
|
|
|
- The command '=> fuse read 4 2 2' reads the whole MAC addresses at once:
|
|
|
|
=> fuse read 4 2 2
|
|
Reading bank 4:
|
|
|
|
Word 0x00000002: 9f027772 00000004

NAND Boot on i.MX6 with SPL support
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Writing/updating boot image in nand device is not straight forward in
|
|
i.MX6 platform and it requires boot control block(BCB) to be configured.
|
|
|
|
BCB contains two data structures, Firmware Configuration Block(FCB) and
|
|
Discovered Bad Block Table(DBBT). FCB has nand timings, DBBT search area,
|
|
and firmware. See IMX6DQRM Section 8.5.2.2
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
We can't use 'nand write' command to write SPL/firmware image directly
|
|
like other platforms does. So we need special setup to write BCB block
|
|
as per IMX6QDL reference manual 'nandbcb update' command do that job.
|
|
|
|
for nand boot, up on reset bootrom look for FCB structure in
|
|
first block's if FCB found the nand timings are loaded for
|
|
further reads. once FCB read done, DTTB will be loaded and
|
|
finally firmware will be loaded which is boot image.
|
|
|
|
cmd_nandbcb will create FCB these structures
|
|
by taking mtd partition as an example.
|
|
- initial code will erase entire partition
|
|
- followed by FCB setup, like first 2 blocks for FCB/DBBT write,
|
|
and next block for FW1/SPL
|
|
- write firmware at FW1 block and
|
|
- finally write fcb/dttb in first 2 block.
|
|
|
|
Typical NAND BCB layout:
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
no.of blocks = partition size / erasesize
|
|
no.of fcb/dbbt blocks = 2
|
|
FW1 offset = no.of fcb/dbbt
|
|
|
|
block 0 1 2
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|FCB/DBBT 0|FCB/DBBT 1| FW 1 |
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
On summary, nandbcb update will
|
|
- erase the entire partition
|
|
- create BCB by creating 2 FCB/BDDT block followed by
|
|
1 FW blocks based on partition size and erasesize.
|
|
- fill FCB/DBBT structures
|
|
- write FW/SPL in FW1
|
|
- write FCB/DBBT in first 2 blocks
|
|
|
|
step-1: write SPL
|
|
|
|
icorem6qdl> ext4load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr SPL
|
|
39936 bytes read in 10 ms (3.8 MiB/s)
|
|
|
|
icorem6qdl> nandbcb update $loadaddr spl $filesize
|
|
device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x9c00
|
|
Erasing at 0x1c0000 -- 100% complete.
|
|
NAND fw write: 0x80000 offset, 0xb000 bytes written: OK
|
|
|
|
step-2: write u-boot-dtb.img
|
|
|
|
icorem6qdl> nand erase.part uboot
|
|
|
|
NAND erase.part: device 0 offset 0x200000, size 0x200000
|
|
Erasing at 0x3c0000 -- 100% complete.
|
|
OK
|
|
|
|
icorem6qdl> ext4load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr u-boot-dtb.img
|
|
589094 bytes read in 37 ms (15.2 MiB/s)
|
|
|
|
icorem6qdl> nand write ${loadaddr} uboot ${filesize}
|
|
|
|
NAND write: device 0 offset 0x200000, size 0x8fd26
|
|
589094 bytes written: OK
