Field Fail-Save U-boot Update
|
|||
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|||
|
|
Field Fail-Save u-boot update is a feature that allows save u-boot update
|
|||
|
|
of FOX and XMC products that are rolled out in the field.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The feature is initially implemented for designs based on LS102x SoC, but in
|
|||
|
|
theory can be used on all designs that are booting from parallel NOR flash.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The implementation expects redundant (secondary) u-boot image on a predefined
|
|||
|
|
location in the NOR flash, u-boot execution will be transferred to the redundant
|
|||
|
|
(secondary) u-boot and redundant u-boot will be started if 'updateduboot' envvar
|
|||
|
|
is set to 'yes'.
|
|||
|
|
Update logic check_for_uboot_update() has to be invoked from the design early
|
|||
|
|
before relocation just after SoC initialization, e.g from board_early_init_f or
|
|||
|
|
misc_init_f functions.
|
|||
|
|
By design it is expected that primary u-boot image is burned in the factory and
|
|||
|
|
never updated, and in case u-boot update is required it can flashed and started
|
|||
|
|
from secondary u-boot location.
