With this framework almost all source files for a board -can be reused. No code duplication or symlinking is necessary anymore. - - -How it works ------------- - -There is a new directory $(srctree)/spl which contains only a Makefile. -The object files are built separately for SPL and placed in this directory. -The final binaries which are generated are u-boot-spl, u-boot-spl.bin and -u-boot-spl.map. - -During the SPL build a variable named CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is exported -in the make environment and also appended to CPPFLAGS with -DCONFIG_SPL_BUILD. -Source files can therefore be compiled for SPL with different settings. -ARM-based boards have previously used the option CONFIG_PRELOADER for it. - -For example: - -ifeq ($(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD),y) -COBJS-y += board_spl.o -else -COBJS-y += board.o -endif - -COBJS-$(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) += foo.o - -#ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD - foo(); -#endif - - -The building of SPL images can be with: - -#define CONFIG_SPL - -Because SPL images normally have a different text base, one has to be -configured by defining CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE. The linker script has to be -defined with CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT. - -To support generic U-Boot libraries and drivers in the SPL binary one can -optionally define CONFIG_SPL_XXX_SUPPORT. Currently following options -are supported: - -CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT (common/libcommon.o) -CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT (disk/libdisk.o) -CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT (drivers/i2c/libi2c.o) -CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT (drivers/gpio/libgpio.o) -CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT (drivers/mmc/libmmc.o) -CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT (drivers/serial/libserial.o) -CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT (drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o) -CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT (drivers/spi/libspi.o) -CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT (fs/fat/libfat.o) -CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT (lib/libgeneric.o) -CONFIG_SPL_POWER_SUPPORT (drivers/power/libpower.o) -CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SUPPORT (drivers/mtd/nand/libnand.o) -CONFIG_SPL_DRIVERS_MISC_SUPPORT (drivers/misc) -CONFIG_SPL_DMA_SUPPORT (drivers/dma/libdma.o) -CONFIG_SPL_POST_MEM_SUPPORT (post/drivers/memory.o) -CONFIG_SPL_NAND_LOAD (drivers/mtd/nand/nand_spl_load.o) -CONFIG_SPL_SPI_LOAD (drivers/mtd/spi/spi_spl_load.o) -CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE (common/spl/spl.c) -CONFIG_SPL_WATCHDOG_SUPPORT (drivers/watchdog/libwatchdog.o) - -Normally CPU is assumed to be the same between the SPL and normal -u-boot build. However it is possible to specify a different CPU for -the SPL build for cases where the SPL is expected to run on a -different CPU model from the main u-boot. This is done by specifying -an SPL CPU in boards.cfg as follows: - - normal_cpu:spl_cpu - -This case CPU will be set to "normal_cpu" during the main u-boot -build and "spl_cpu" during the SPL build. - - -Debugging ---------- - -When building SPL with DEBUG set you may also need to set CONFIG_PANIC_HANG -as in most cases do_reset is not defined within SPL. - - -Estimating stack usage ----------------------- - -With gcc 4.6 (and later) and the use of GNU cflow it is possible to estimate -stack usage at various points in run sequence of SPL. The -fstack-usage option -to gcc will produce '.su' files (such as arch/arm/cpu/armv7/syslib.su) that -will give stack usage information and cflow can construct program flow. - -Must have gcc 4.6 or later, which supports -fstack-usage - -1) Build normally -2) Perform the following shell command to generate a list of C files used in -SPL: -$ find spl -name '*.su' | sed -e 's:^spl/::' -e 's:[.]su$:.c:' > used-spl.list -3) Execute cflow: -$ cflow --main=board_init_r `cat used-spl.list` 2>&1 | $PAGER - -cflow will spit out a number of warnings as it does not parse -the config files and picks functions based on #ifdef. Parsing the '.i' -files instead introduces another set of headaches. These warnings are -not usually important to understanding the flow, however. |
