================================================================================
             What is working (enough to boot a distro from SD card)
================================================================================
   - UART
   - SD card
   - PSCI reset
   - Environment in EXT4 partition 1 in SD card (check defconfig for details)
         dont forget to insert the card in the SD slot before booting if you
         are going to make mods to the environment

================================================================================
                     Build & Run instructions
================================================================================

1) Install mkbootimg and dtbTool from Codeaurora:

   git://codeaurora.org/quic/kernel/skales
   commit 8492547e404e969262d9070dee9bdd15668bb70f worked for me.

2) Setup CROSS_COMPILE to aarch64 compiler or if you use ccache just do
   CROSS_COMPILE="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-"

3) cd to the u-boot tree

  $ make dragonboard820c_config
  $ make -j `nproc`

4) generate fake, empty ramdisk (can have 0 bytes)

   $ touch rd

5) Generate qualcomm device tree table with dtbTool

   $ dtbTool -o dt.img arch/arm/dts

6) Generate Android boot image with mkbootimg:

   $ mkbootimg --kernel=u-boot-dtb.bin             \
               --output=u-boot.img                 \
               --dt=dt.img                         \
               --pagesize 4096                     \
               --base 0x80000000                   \
               --ramdisk=rd                        \
               --cmdline=""

7) Reboot the board into fastboot mode
   - plug the board micro-usb to your laptop usb host.
   - reboot the board with vol- button pressed

8) Boot the uboot image using fastboot

   $ fastboot boot u-boot.img

   or flash it to the UFS drive boot partition:

   $ fastboot flash boot u-boot.img
   $ fastboot reboot


================================================================================
      To boot a linux kernel from SDHCI with the ROOTFS on an NFS share:
================================================================================

1) create an EXT4 partition on the SD card (must be partition #1)

2) build the kernel image and dtb  (documented extensively somewhere else)

3) copy the drivers to the NFS partition (ie: 192.168.1.2 /exports/db820c-rootfs)

4) add the u-boot headers to the image:

    $ mkimage -A arm64                                     \
              -O linux                                     \
              -C none                                      \
              -T kernel                                    \
              -a 0x80080000                                \
              -e 0x80080000                                \
              -n Dragonboard820c                           \
              -d $kernel/arch/arm64/boot/Image             \
              uImage

5) copy the generated uImage and the device tree binary to the SD card EXT4
   partition

    $ cp uImage /mnt/boot/
    $ cp apq8096-db820c.dtb /mnt/boot/

6) on the SD card create /extlinux/extlinux.conf  as follows:

   default nfs
   prompt 1
   timeout 10

   LABEL nfs
      MENU NFS entry
      LINUX /uImage
      FDT /apq8096-db820c.dtb
      APPEND root=/dev/nfs rw                                         \
             nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/exports/db829c-rootfs,v3,tcp        \
             rootwait                                                 \
             ip=dhcp consoleblank=0                                   \
             console=tty0                                             \
             console=ttyMSM0,115200n8                                 \
             earlyprintk earlycon=msm_serial_dm,0x75b0000             \
             androidboot.bootdevice=624000.ufshc                      \
             androidboot.verifiedbootstate=orange                     \
             androidboot.ver0

7) remove the SD card from the laptop and insert it back to the db820 board.
   the SD card EXT4 partition#1 should contain:
      /uImage
      /apq8096-db820c.dtb
      /extlinux/extlinux.conf

8) reboot the db820 board
