QSPI boot ^^^^^^^^^ This is the default. ``{ SW5[0:8], SW4[0] }`` should be ``0010_0010_0``. SD boot and eMMC boot ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ``{ SW5[0:8], SW4[0] }`` should be ``0010_0000_0``. eMMC is selected only if there is no SD card in the slot. .. _ls1046ardb_jtag: JTAG boot ^^^^^^^^^ To recover a bricked board, or to perform initial programming, the ls1046 supports using two hard-coded Reset Configuration Words (RCWs). Unfortunately, this configuration disables most functionality, including the uarts and ethernet. However, the SD/MMC and flash controllers are still functional. To get around the lack of a serial console, we will use ARM semihosting instead. When enabled, OpenOCD will interpret certain instructions as calls to the host operating system. This allows U-Boot to use the console, read/write files, or run arbitrary commands (!). When configuring U-Boot, ensure that ``CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING``, ``CONFIG_SPL_SEMIHOSTING``, and ``CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING_SERIAL`` are enabled. ``{ SW5[0:8], SW4[0] }`` should be ``0100_1111_0``. Additionally, ``SW4[7]`` should be set to ``0``. Connect to the "console" USB connector on the front of the enclosure. Create a new file called ``u-boot.tcl`` (or whatever you choose) with the following contents:: # Load the configuration for the LS1046ARDB source [find board/nxp_rdb-ls1046a.cfg] # Initialize the scan chain init # Stop the processor halt # Enable semihosting arm semihosting enable # Load U-Boot SPL load_image spl/u-boot-spl 0 elf # Start executing SPL at the beginning of OCRAM resume 0x10000000 Then, launch openocd like:: openocd -f u-boot.tcl You should see the U-Boot SPL banner followed by the banner for U-Boot proper in the output of openocd. The CMSIS-DAP adapter is slow, so this can take a long time. If you don't see it, something has gone wrong. After a while, you should see the prompt. You can load an image using semihosting by running:: => load hostfs - $loadaddr Note that openocd's terminal is "cooked," so commands will only be sent to U-Boot when you press enter, and all commands will be echoed twice. Additionally, openocd will block when waiting for input, ignoring gdb, JTAG events, and Ctrl-Cs. To make openocd process these events, just hit enter. Using an external JTAG adapter """""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The CMSIS-DAP adapter can be rather slow. To speed up booting, use an external JTAG adapter. The following examples assume you are using a J-Link, though any adapter supported by OpenOCD will do. Ensure that ``SW4[7]`` is ``1``. Attach your jtag adapter to J22. Modify ``u-boot.tcl`` and replace the first two lines with the following:: # Load the J-Link configuration (or whatever your adapter is) source [find interface/jlink.cfg] # Use JTAG, since the J-Link also supports SWD transport select jtag # The reset pin resets the whole CPU reset_config srst_only # Load the LS1046A config source [find target/ls1046a.cfg] You can proceed as normal through the rest of the steps above. I got a speedup of around 100x by using a J-Link. Debug UART ---------- To enable the debug UART, enable the following config options:: CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_NS16550=y CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_BASE=0x21c0500 CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_CLOCK=300000000
