The current name is inconsistent with SPL which uses CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE and this makes it imposible to use CONFIG_VAL(). Rename it to resolve this problem. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

Chromebook Coral
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Coral is a Chromebook (or really about 20 different Chromebooks) which use the
|
|
Intel Apollo Lake platform (APL). The 'reef' Chromebooks use the same APL SoC so
|
|
should also work. Some later ones based on Glacier Lake (GLK) need various
|
|
changes in GPIOs, etc. but are very similar.
|
|
|
|
It is hoped that this port can enable ports to embedded APL boards which are
|
|
starting to appear.
|
|
|
|
Note that booting U-Boot on APL is already supported by coreboot and
|
|
Slim Bootloader. This documentation refers to a 'bare metal' port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
First, you need the following binary blobs:
|
|
|
|
* descriptor.bin - Intel flash descriptor
|
|
* fitimage.bin - Base flash image structure
|
|
* fsp_m.bin - FSP-M, for setting up SDRAM
|
|
* fsp_s.bin - FSP-S, for setting up Silicon
|
|
* vbt.bin - for setting up display
|
|
|
|
These binaries do not seem to be available publicly. If you have a ROM image,
|
|
such as santa.bin then you can do this::
|
|
|
|
cbfstool santa.bin extract -n fspm.bin -f fsp-m.bin
|
|
cbfstool santa.bin extract -n fsps.bin -f fsp-s.bin
|
|
cbfstool santa.bin extract -n vbt-santa.bin -f vbt.bin
|
|
mkdir tmp
|
|
cd tmp
|
|
dump_fmap -x ../santa.bin
|
|
mv SI_DESC ../descriptor.bin
|
|
mv IFWI ../fitimage.bin
|
|
|
|
Put all of these files in `board/google/chromebook_coral` so they can be found
|
|
by the build.
|
|
|
|
To build::
|
|
|
|
make O=/tmp/b/chromebook_coral chromebook_coral_defconfig
|
|
make O=/tmp/b/chromebook_coral -s -j30 all
|
|
|
|
That should produce `/tmp/b/chrombook_coral/u-boot.rom` which you can use with
|
|
a Dediprog em100::
|
|
|
|
em100 -s -c w25q128fw -d /tmp/b/chromebook_coral/u-boot.rom -r
|
|
|
|
or you can use flashrom to write it to the board. If you do that, make sure you
|
|
have a way to restore the old ROM without booting the board. Otherwise you may
|
|
brick it. Having said that, you may find these instructions useful if you want
|
|
to unbrick your device:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

You can buy Suzy-Q from Sparkfun:
|
|
|
|
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hdctools/+/main/docs/ccd.md#suzyq-suzyqable
|
|
|
|
Note that it will hang at the SPL prompt for 21 seconds. When booting into
|
|
Chrome OS it will always select developer mode, so will wipe anything you have
|
|
on the device if you let it proceed. You have two seconds in U-Boot to stop the
|
|
auto-boot prompt and several seconds at the 'developer wipe' screen to stop it
|
|
wiping the disk.

Boot flow - TPL
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Apollo Lake boots via an IFWI (Integrated Firmware Image). TPL is placed in
|
|
this, in the IBBL entry.
|
|
|
|
On boot, an on-chip microcontroller called the CSE (Converged Security Engine)
|
|
sets up some SDRAM at ffff8000 and loads the TPL image to that address. The
|
|
SRAM extends up to the top of 32-bit address space, but the last 2KB is the
|
|
start16 region, so the TPL image must be 30KB at most, and CONFIG_TPL_TEXT_BASE
|
|
must be ffff8000. Actually the start16 region is small and it could probably
|
|
move from f800 to fe00, providing another 1.5KB, but TPL is only about 19KB so
|
|
there is no need to change it at present. The size limit is enforced by
|
|
CONFIG_TPL_SIZE_LIMIT to avoid producing images that won't boot.
|
|
|
|
TPL (running from start.S) first sets up CAR (Cache-as-RAM) which provides
|
|
larger area of RAM for use while booting. CAR is mapped at CONFIG_SYS_CAR_ADDR
|
|
(fef00000) and is 768KB in size. It then sets up the stack in the botttom 64KB
|
|
of this space (i.e. below fef10000). This means that the stack and early
|
|
malloc() region in TPL can be 64KB at most.
|
|
|
|
TPL operates without CONFIG_TPL_PCI enabled so PCI config access must use the
|
|
x86-specific functions pci_x86_write_config(), etc. SPL creates a simple-bus
|
|
device so that PCI devices are bound by driver model. Then arch_cpu_init_tpl()
|
|
is called to early init on various devices. This includes placing PCI devices
|
|
at hard-coded addresses in the memory map. PCI auto-config is not used.
|
|
|
|
Most of the 16KB ROM is mapped into the very top of memory, except for the
|
|
Intel descriptor (first 4KB) and the space for SRAM as above.
|
|
|
|
TPL does not set up a bloblist since at present it does not have anything to
|
|
pass to SPL.
|
|
|
|
Once TPL is done it loads SPL from ROM using either the memory-mapped SPI or by
|
|
using the Intel fast SPI driver. SPL is loaded into CAR, at the address given
|
|
by CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE, which is normally fef10000.
|
|
|
|
Note that booting using the SPI driver results in an TPL image that is about
|
|
26KB in size instead of 19KB. Also boot speed is worse by about 340ms. If you
|
|
really want to use the driver, enable CONFIG_APL_SPI_FLASH_BOOT and set
|
|
BOOT_FROM_FAST_SPI_FLASH to true[2].
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boot flow - SPL
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
SPL (running from start_from_tpl.S) continues to use the same stack as TPL.
|
|
It calls arch_cpu_init_spl() to set up a few devices, then init_dram() loads
|
|
the FSP-M binary into CAR and runs to, to set up SDRAM. The address of the
|
|
output 'HOB' list (Hand-off-block) is stored into gd->arch.hob_list for parsing.
|
|
There is a 2GB chunk of SDRAM starting at 0 and the rest is at 4GB.
|
|
|
|
PCI auto-config is not used in SPL either, but CONFIG_SPL_PCI is defined, so
|
|
proper PCI access is available and normal dm_pci_read_config() calls can be
|
|
used. However PCI auto-config is not used so the same static memory mapping set
|
|
up by TPL is still active.
|
|
|
|
SPL on x86 always runs with CONFIG_SPL_SEPARATE_BSS=y and BSS is at 120000
|
|
(see u-boot-spl.lds). This works because SPL doesn't access BSS until after
|
|
board_init_r(), as per the rules, and DRAM is available then.
|
|
|
|
SPL sets up a bloblist and passes the SPL hand-off information to U-Boot proper.
|
|
This includes a pointer to the HOB list as well as DRAM information. See
|
|
struct arch_spl_handoff. The bloblist address is set by CONFIG_BLOBLIST_ADDR,
|
|
normally 100000.
|
|
|
|
SPL uses SPI flash to update the MRC caches in ROM. This speeds up subsequent
|
|
boots. Be warned that SPL can take 30 seconds without this cache! This is a
|
|
known issue with Intel SoCs with modern DRAM and apparently cannot be improved.
|
|
The MRC caches are used to work around this.
|
|
|
|
Once SPL is finished it loads U-Boot into SDRAM at CONFIG_TEXT_BASE, which
|
|
is normally 1110000. Note that CAR is still active.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boot flow - U-Boot pre-relocation
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot (running from start_from_spl.S) starts running in RAM and uses the same
|
|
stack as SPL. It does various init activities before relocation. Notably
|
|
arch_cpu_init_dm() sets up the pin muxing for the chip using a very large table
|
|
in the device tree.
|
|
|
|
PCI auto-config is not used before relocation, but CONFIG_PCI of course is
|
|
defined, so proper PCI access is available. The same static memory mapping set
|
|
up by TPL is still active until relocation.
|
|
|
|
As per usual, U-Boot allocates memory at the top of available RAM (a bit below
|
|
2GB in this case) and copies things there ready to relocate itself. Notably
|
|
reserve_arch() does not reserve space for the HOB list returned by FSP-M since
|
|
this is already located in RAM.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot then shuts down CAR and jumps to its relocated version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boot flow - U-Boot post-relocation
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot starts up normally, running near the top of RAM. After driver model is
|
|
running, arch_fsp_init_r() is called which loads and runs the FSP-S binary.
|
|
This updates the HOB list to include graphics information, used by the fsp_video
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
PCI autoconfig is done and a few devices are probed to complete init. Most
|
|
others are started only when they are used.
|
|
|
|
Note that FSP-S is supposed to run after CAR has been shut down, which happens
|
|
immediately before U-Boot starts up in its relocated position. Therefore we
|
|
cannot run FSP-S before relocation. On the other hand we must run it before
|
|
PCI auto-config is done, since FSP-S may show or hide devices. The first device
|
|
that probes PCI after relocation is the serial port, in initr_serial(), so FSP-S
|
|
must run before that. A corollary is that loading FSP-S must be done without
|
|
using the SPI driver, to avoid probing PCI and causing an autoconfig, so
|
|
memory-mapped reading is always used for FSP-S.
|
|
|
|
It would be possible to tear down CAR in SPL instead of U-Boot. The SPL handoff
|
|
information could make sure it does not include any pointers into CAR (in fact
|
|
it doesn't). But tearing down CAR in U-Boot allows the initial state used by TPL
|
|
and SPL to be read by U-Boot, which seems useful. It also matches how older
|
|
platforms start up (those that don't use SPL).
|
|
|
|

Speeding up SPL for development
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The 21-second wait for memory training is annoying during development, since
|
|
every new image incurs this cost when booting. There is no cache to fall back on
|
|
since that area of the image is empty on start-up.
|
|
|
|
You can add suitable cache contents to the image to fix this, for development
|
|
purposes only, like this::
|
|
|
|
# Read the image back after booting through SPL
|
|
em100 -s -c w25q128fw -u image.bin
|
|
|
|
# Extract the two cache regions
|
|
binman extract -i image.bin extra *cache
|
|
|
|
# Move them into the source directory
|
|
mv *cache board/google/chromebook_coral
|
|
|
|
Then add something like this to the devicetree::
|
|

`rw-mrc-cache` and `rw-var-mrc-cache` regions defined by the SPI-flash driver.

Supported peripherals
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The following have U-Boot drivers:
|
|
|
|
- UART
|
|
- SPI flash
|
|
- Video
|
|
- MMC (dev 0) and micro-SD (dev 1)
|
|
- Chrome OS EC
|
|
- Cr50 (security chip)
|
|
- Keyboard
|
|
- USB
|
|
|
|
|
|
To do
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- Finish peripherals
|
|
- Sound (Intel I2S support exists, but need da7219 driver)
|
|
- Use FSP-T binary instead of our own CAR implementation
|
|
- Use the official FSP package instead of the coreboot one
|
|
- Suspend / resume
|
|
- Fix MMC which seems to try to read even though the card is empty
|
|
- Fix USB3 crash "WARN halted endpoint, queueing URB anyway."

This is a spare-time project conducted slowly over a long period of time.
|
|
|
|
Much of the code for this port came from Coreboot, an open-source firmware
|
|
project similar to U-Boot's SPL in terms of features.
|
|
|
|
Also see [2] for information about the boot flow used by coreboot. It is
|
|
similar, but has an extra postcar stage. U-Boot doesn't need this since it
|
|
supports relocating itself in memory.
