Simon Glass 984639039f Rename CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE to CONFIG_TEXT_BASE
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.

Slim Bootloader
===============
Introduction
------------
This target is to enable U-Boot_ as a payload of `Slim Bootloader`_ (a.k.a SBL)
boot firmware which currently supports QEMU, Apollolake, Whiskeylake,
Coffeelake-R platforms.
The `Slim Bootloader`_ is designed with multi-stages (Stage1A/B, Stage2, Payload)
architecture to cover from reset vector to OS booting and it consumes
`Intel FSP`_ for silicon initialization.
* Stage1A: Reset vector, CAR init with FSP-T
* Stage1B: Memory init with FSP-M, CAR teardown, Continue execution in memory
* Stage2 : Rest of Silicon init with FSP-S, Create HOB, Hand-off to Payload
* Payload: Payload init with HOB, Load OS from media, Booting OS
The Slim Bootloader stages (Stage1A/B, Stage2) focus on chipset, hardware and
platform specific initialization, and it provides useful information to a
payload in a HOB (Hand-Off Block) which has serial port, memory map, performance
data info and so on. This is Slim Bootloader architectural design to make a
payload light-weight, platform independent and more generic across different
boot solutions or payloads, and to minimize hardware re-initialization in a
payload.
Build Instruction for U-Boot as a Slim Bootloader payload
---------------------------------------------------------
Build U-Boot and obtain u-boot-dtb.bin::
$ make distclean
$ make slimbootloader_defconfig
$ make all
Prepare Slim Bootloader
-----------------------
1. Setup Build Environment for Slim Bootloader.
Refer to `Getting Started`_ page in `Slim Bootloader`_ document site.
2. Get source code. Let's simply clone the repo::
$ git clone https://github.com/slimbootloader/slimbootloader.git
3. Copy u-boot-dtb.bin to Slim Bootloader.
Slim Bootloader looks for a payload from the specific location.
Copy the build u-boot-dtb.bin to the expected location::
$ mkdir -p <Slim Bootloader Dir>/PayloadPkg/PayloadBins/
$ cp <U-Boot Dir>/u-boot-dtb.bin <Slim Bootloader Dir>/PayloadPkg/PayloadBins/u-boot-dtb.bin
Build Instruction for Slim Bootloader for QEMU target
-----------------------------------------------------
Slim Bootloader supports multiple payloads, and a board of Slim Bootloader
detects its target payload by PayloadId in board configuration.
The PayloadId can be any 4 Bytes value.
1. Update PayloadId. Let's use 'U-BT' as an example::
$ vi Platform/QemuBoardPkg/CfgData/CfgDataExt_Brd1.dlt
-GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'AUTO'
+GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'U-BT'
2. Update payload text base. PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE must be the same as U-Boot
CONFIG_TEXT_BASE in board/intel/slimbootloader/Kconfig.
PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH must be 0::
$ vi Platform/QemuBoardPkg/BoardConfig.py
+ self.PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH = 0
+ self.PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE = 0x00100000
3. Build QEMU target. Make sure u-boot-dtb.bin and U-BT PayloadId
in build command. The output is Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin::
$ python BuildLoader.py build qemu -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;u-boot-dtb.bin:U-BT:Lzma"
4. Launch Slim Bootloader on QEMU.
You should reach at U-Boot serial console::
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -nographic -serial mon:stdio -pflash Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin
Test Linux booting on QEMU target
---------------------------------
Let's use LeafHill (APL) Yocto image for testing.
Download it from http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.0/machines/leafhill/.
1. Prepare Yocto hard disk image::
$ wget http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.0/machines/leafhill/leafhill-4.0-jethro-2.0.tar.bz2
$ tar -xvf leafhill-4.0-jethro-2.0.tar.bz2
$ ls -l leafhill-4.0-jethro-2.0/binary/core-image-sato-intel-corei7-64.hddimg
2. Launch Slim Bootloader on QEMU with disk image::
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -nographic -serial mon:stdio -pflash Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin -drive id=mydrive,if=none,file=/path/to/core-image-sato-intel-corei7-64.hddimg,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=mydrive
3. Update boot environment values on shell::
=> setenv bootfile vmlinuz
=> setenv bootdev scsi
=> boot
Build Instruction for Slim Bootloader for LeafHill (APL) target
---------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare U-Boot and Slim Bootloader as described at the beginning of this page.
Also, the PayloadId needs to be set for APL board.
1. Update PayloadId. Let's use 'U-BT' as an example::
$ vi Platform/ApollolakeBoardPkg/CfgData/CfgData_Int_LeafHill.dlt
-GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'AUTO
+GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'U-BT'
2. Update payload text base.
* PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE must be the same as U-Boot CONFIG_TEXT_BASE
in board/intel/slimbootloader/Kconfig.
* PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH must be 0::
$ vi Platform/ApollolakeBoardPkg/BoardConfig.py
+ self.PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH = 0
+ self.PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE = 0x00100000
3. Build APL target. Make sure u-boot-dtb.bin and U-BT PayloadId
in build command. The output is Outputs/apl/Stitch_Components.zip::
$ python BuildLoader.py build apl -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;u-boot-dtb.bin:U-BT:Lzma"
4. Stitch IFWI.
Refer to Apollolake_ page in Slim Bootloader document site::
$ python Platform/ApollolakeBoardPkg/Script/StitchLoader.py -i <Existing IFWI> -s Outputs/apl/Stitch_Components.zip -o <Output IFWI>
5. Flash IFWI.
Use DediProg to flash IFWI. You should reach at U-Boot serial console.
Build Instruction to use ELF U-Boot
-----------------------------------
1. Enable CONFIG_OF_EMBED::
$ vi configs/slimbootloader_defconfig
+CONFIG_OF_EMBED=y
2. Build U-Boot::
$ make distclean
$ make slimbootloader_defconfig
$ make all
$ strip u-boot (removing symbol for reduced size)
3. Do same steps as above
* Copy u-boot (ELF) to PayloadBins directory
* Update PayloadId 'U-BT' as above.
* No need to set PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH and PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE.
* Build Slim Bootloader. Use u-boot instead of u-boot-dtb.bin::
$ python BuildLoader.py build <qemu or apl> -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;u-boot:U-BT:Lzma"
