Useful notes on bulding and using of U-Boot on ARC HS Development Kit (AKA HSDK) | |||
================================================================================ | |||
BOARD OVERVIEW | |||
The DesignWare ARC HS Development Kit is a ready-to-use platform for rapid | |||
software development on the ARC HS3x family of processors. | |||
For more information please visit: | |||
https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=arc-hs-development-kit | |||
User guide is availalble here: | |||
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/ARC-Development-Systems-Forum/wiki/docs/ARC_HSDK_User_Guide.pdf | |||
It has the following features useful for U-Boot: | |||
* On-board 2-channel FTDI TTL-to-USB converter | |||
- The first channel is used for serial debug port (which makes it possible | |||
to use a serial connection on pretty much any host machine be it | |||
Windows, Linux or Mac). | |||
On Linux machine typucally FTDI serial port would be /dev/ttyUSB0. | |||
There's no HW flow-control and baud-rate is 115200. | |||
- The second channel is used for built-in Digilent USB JTAG probe. | |||
That means no extra hardware is required to access ARC core from a | |||
debugger on development host. Both proprietary MetaWare debugger and | |||
open source OpenOCD + GDB client are supported. | |||
- Also with help of this FTDI chip it is possible to reset entire | |||
board with help of a special `rff-ftdi-reset` utility, see: | |||
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/rff-ftdi-reset | |||
* Micro SD-card slot | |||
- U-Boot expects to see the very first partition on the card formatted as | |||
FAT file-system and uses it for keeping its environment in `uboot.env` | |||
file. Note uboot.env is not just a text file but it is auto-generated | |||
file created by U-Boot on invocation of `saveenv` command. | |||
It contains a checksum which makes this saved environment invalid in | |||
case of maual modification. | |||
- There might be more useful files on that first FAT partition like | |||
Linux kernl image in form of uImage (with or without built-in | |||
initramfs), device tree blob (.dtb) etc. | |||
- Except FAT partition there might be others following the first FAT one | |||
like Ext file-system with rootfs etc. | |||
* 1 Gb Ethernet socket | |||
- U-Boot might get payload from TFTP server. This might be uImage, rootfs | |||
image and anything else. | |||
* 2 MiB of SPI-flash | |||
- SPI-flahs is used as a storage for image of an application auto-executed | |||
by bootROM on power-on. Typically U-Boot gets programmed there but | |||
there might be other uses. But note bootROM expects to find a special | |||
header preceeding application image itself so before flashing anything | |||
make sure required image is prepended. In case of U-Boot this is done | |||
by invocation of `headerize-hsdk.py` with `make bsp-generate` command. | |||
BUILDING U-BOOT | |||
1. Configure U-Boot: | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
make hsdk_defconfig | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
2. To build Elf file (for example to be used with host debugger via JTAG | |||
connection to the target board): | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
make mdbtrick | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
This will produce `u-boot` Elf file. | |||
3. To build artifacts required for U-Boot update in n-board SPI-flash: | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
make bsp-generate | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
This will produce `u-boot.head` and `u-boot-update.scr` which should | |||
be put on the first FAT partition of micro SD-card to be inserted in the | |||
HSDK board. | |||
EXECUTING U-BOOT | |||
1. The HSDK board is supposed to auto-start U-Boot image stored in on-board | |||
SPI-flash on power-on. For that make sure DIP-switches in the corner of | |||
the board are in their default positions: BIM in 1:off, 2:on state | |||
while both BMC and BCS should be in 1:on, 2:on state. | |||
2. Though it is possible to load U-Boot as a simple Elf file via JTAG right | |||
in DDR and start it from the debugger. | |||
2.1. In case of proprietary MetaWare debugger run: | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
mdb -digilent -run -cl u-boot | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
UPDATION U-BOOT IMAGE IN ON-BOARD SPI-FLASH | |||
1. Create `u-boot.head` and `u-boot-update.scr` as discribed above with | |||
`make bsp-generate` command. | |||
2. Copy `u-boot.head` and `u-boot-update.scr` to the first the first FAT | |||
partition of micro SD-card. | |||
3. Connect USB cable from the HSDK board to the developemnt host and | |||
fire-up serial terminal. | |||
3. Insert prepared micro SD-card in the HSDK board, press reset button | |||
and stop auto-execution of existing `bootcmd` pressing any key in serial | |||
terminal and enter the following command: | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
mmc rescan && fatload mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} u-boot-update.scr && source ${loadaddr} | |||
------------------------->8---------------------- | |||
Wait before you see "u-boot update: OK" message. | |||
4. Press RESET button and enjoy updated U-Boot version. |
