Booting a payload out of NAND FLASH from the SPL is a crux today, as
it requires hard partioned FLASH. Not a brilliant idea with the
reliability of todays NAND FLASH chips.
The upstream UBI + UBI fastmap implementation which is about to
brought to u-boot is too heavy weight for SPLs as it provides way more
functionality than needed for a SPL and does not even fit into the
restricted SPL areas which are loaded from the SoC boot ROM.
So this provides a fast and lightweight implementation of UBI scanning
and UBI fastmap attach. The scan and logical to physical block mapping
code is developed from scratch, while the fastmap implementation is
lifted from the linux kernel source and stripped down to fit the SPL
needs.
The text foot print on the board which I used for development is:
6854 0 0 6854 1abd
drivers/mtd/ubispl/built-in.o
Attaching a NAND chip with 4096 physical eraseblocks (4 blocks are
reserved for the SPL) takes:
In full scan mode: 1172ms
In fastmap mode: 95ms
The code requires quite some storage. The largest and unknown part of
it is the number of fastmap blocks to read. Therefor the data
structure is not put into the BSS. The code requires a pointer to free
memory handed in which is initialized by the UBI attach code itself.
See doc/README.ubispl for further information on how to use it.
This shares the ubi-media.h and crc32 implementation of drivers/mtd/ubi
There is no way to share the fastmap code, as UBISPL only utilizes the
slightly modified functions ubi_attach_fastmap() and ubi_scan_fastmap()
from the original kernel ubi fastmap implementation.

1. About this
This document describes the information about Xilinx Zynq U-Boot -
like supported boards, ML status and TODO list.
2. Zynq boards
Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoCs enable extensive system level
differentiation, integration, and flexibility through hardware, software,
and I/O programmability.
* zc702 (single qspi, gem0, mmc) [1]
* zc706 (dual parallel qspi, gem0, mmc) [2]
* zed (single qspi, gem0, mmc) [3]
* microzed (single qspi, gem0, mmc) [4]
* zc770
- zc770-xm010 (single qspi, gem0, mmc)
- zc770-xm011 (8 or 16 bit nand)
- zc770-xm012 (nor)
- zc770-xm013 (dual parallel qspi, gem1)
3. Building
ex. configure and build for zc702 board
$ make zynq_zc702_config
$ make
4. Bootmode
Zynq has a facility to read the bootmode from the slcr bootmode register
once user is setting through jumpers on the board - see page no:1546 on [5]
All possible bootmode values are defined in Table 6-2:Boot_Mode MIO Pins
on [5].
board_late_init() will read the bootmode values using slcr bootmode register
at runtime and assign the modeboot variable to specific bootmode string which
is intern used in autoboot.
SLCR bootmode register Bit[3:0] values
#define ZYNQ_BM_NOR 0x02
#define ZYNQ_BM_SD 0x05
#define ZYNQ_BM_JTAG 0x0
"modeboot" variable can assign any of "norboot", "sdboot" or "jtagboot"
bootmode strings at runtime.
5. Mainline status
- Added basic board configurations support.
- Added zynq u-boot bsp code - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/zynq
- Added zynq boards named - zc70x, zed, microzed, zc770_xm010, zc770_xm012, zc770_xm013
- Added zynq drivers:
serial - drivers/serial/serial_zynq.c
net - drivers/net/zynq_gem.c
mmc - drivers/mmc/zynq_sdhci.c
mmc - drivers/mmc/zynq_sdhci.c
spi- drivers/spi/zynq_spi.c
i2c - drivers/i2c/zynq_i2c.c
- Done proper cleanups on board configurations
- Added basic FDT support for zynq boards
- d-cache support for zynq_gem.c
6. TODO
- Add zynq boards support - zc770_xm011
- Add zynq qspi controller driver
- Add zynq nand controller driver
- Add FDT support on individual drivers
