The BASER_FVP board variant is implemented on top of the BASE_FVP board config (which, in turn, is based on the Juno Versatile Express board config). They all share a similar memory map - for BASER_FVP the map is inverted from the BASE_FVP (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100964/1114/Base-Platform/Base---memory/BaseR-Platform-memory-map) * Create new TARGET_VEXPRESS64_BASER_FVP target, which uses the same board config as BASE_FVP and JUNO * Adapt vexpress_aemv8a.h header file to support BASER_FVP (and rename to vexpress_aemv8.h) * Enable config to switch to EL1 for the BASER_FVP * Create vexpress_aemv8r defconfig * Provide an MPU memory map for the BASER_FVP For now, only single core boot is supported.

Semihosting is ARM's way of having a real or virtual target communicate
|
|
with a host or host debugger for basic operations such as file I/O,
|
|
console I/O, etc. Please see
|
|
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0471c/Bgbjjgij.html for more information.

For developing on armv8 virtual fastmodel platforms, semihosting is a
|
|
valuable tool since it allows access to image/configuration files before
|
|
eMMC or other NV media are available.
|
|
|
|
There are two main ARM virtual Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) models,
|
|
Versatile Express (VE) FVP and BASE FVP (See
|
|
http://www.arm.com/products/tools/models/fast-models/foundation-model.php)
|
|
The initial vexpress64 u-boot board created here runs on the VE virtual
|
|
platform using the license-free Foundation_v8 simulator. Fortunately,
|
|
the Foundation_v8 simulator also supports the BASE_FVP model which
|
|
companies can purchase licenses for and contain much more functionality.
|
|
So we can, in u-boot, run either model by either using the VE FVP (default),
|
|
or turning on CONFIG_BASE_FVP for the more full featured model.
|
|
|
|
Rather than create a new armv8 board similar to armltd/vexpress64, add
|
|
semihosting calls to the existing one, enabled with CONFIG_SEMIHOSTING
|
|
and CONFIG_BASE_FVP both set. Also reuse the existing board config file
|
|
vexpress_aemv8.h but differentiate the two models by the presence or
|
|
absence of CONFIG_BASE_FVP. This change is tested and works on both the
|
|
Foundation and Base fastmodel simulators.
|
|
|
|
The semihosting code adds a command:
|
|
|
|
smhload <image> <address> [env var]
|
|
|
|
That will load an image from the host filesystem into RAM at the specified
|
|
address and optionally store the load end address in the specified
|
|
environment variable.
