| 2 | Freescale PBL(pre-boot loader) Boot Image generation using mkimage |
| 3 | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 4 | |
| 5 | The CoreNet SoC's can boot directly from eSPI FLASH, SD/MMC and |
| 6 | NAND, etc. These SoCs use PBL to load RCW and/or pre-initialization |
| 7 | instructions. For more details refer section 5 Pre-boot loader |
| 8 | specifications of reference manual P3041RM/P4080RM/P5020RM at link: |

| 11 | Building PBL Boot Image and boot steps |
| 12 | -------------------------------------- |
| 13 | |
| 14 | 1. Building PBL Boot Image. |
| 15 | The default Image is u-boot.pbl. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | For eSPI boot(available on P3041/P4080/P5020): |
| 18 | To build the eSPI boot image: |
| 19 | make <board_name>_SPIFLASH_config |
| 20 | make u-boot.pbl |
| 21 | |
| 22 | For SD boot(available on P3041/P4080/P5020): |
| 23 | To build the SD boot image: |
| 24 | make <board_name>_SDCARD_config |
| 25 | make u-boot.pbl |
| 26 | |
| 27 | For Nand boot(available on P3041/P5020): |
| 28 | To build the NAND boot image: |
| 29 | make <board_name>_NAND_config |
| 30 | make u-boot.pbl |
| 31 | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | 2. pblimage support available with mkimage utility will generate Freescale PBL |
| 34 | boot image that can be flashed on the board eSPI flash, SD/MMC and NAND. |
| 35 | Following steps describe it in detail. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | 1). Boot from eSPI flash |
| 38 | Write u-boot.pbl to eSPI flash from offset 0x0. |
| 39 | for ex in u-boot: |
| 40 | =>tftp 100000 u-boot.pbl |
| 41 | =>sf probe 0 |
| 42 | =>sf erase 0 100000 |
| 43 | =>sf write 100000 0 $filesize |
| 44 | Change SW1[1:5] = off off on off on. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | 2). Boot from SD/MMC |
| 47 | Write u-boot.pbl to SD/MMC from offset 0x1000. |
| 48 | for ex in u-boot: |
| 49 | =>tftp 100000 u-boot.pbl |
| 50 | =>mmcinfo |
| 51 | =>mmc write 100000 8 441 |
| 52 | Change SW1[1:5] = off off on on off. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | 3). Boot from Nand |
| 55 | Write u-boot.pbl to Nand from offset 0x0. |
| 56 | for ex in u-boot: |
| 57 | =>tftp 100000 u-boot.pbl |
| 58 | =>nand info |
| 59 | =>nand erase 0 100000 |
| 60 | =>nand write 100000 0 $filesize |
| 61 | Change SW1[1:5] = off on off off on |
| 62 | Change SW7[1:4] = on off off on |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Board specific configuration file specifications: |
| 65 | ------------------------------------------------ |
| 66 | 1. Configuration files rcw.cfg and pbi.cfg must present in the |
| 67 | board/freescale/corenet_ds/, rcw.cfg is for RCW, pbi.cfg is for |
| 68 | PBI instructions. File name must not be changed since they are used |
| 69 | in Makefile. |
| 70 | 2. These files can have empty lines and lines starting with "#" as first |
| 71 | character to put comments |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Typical example of rcw.cfg file: |
| 74 | ----------------------------------- |
| 75 | |
| 76 | #PBL preamble and RCW header |
| 77 | aa55aa55 010e0100 |
| 78 | #64 bytes RCW data |
| 79 | 4c580000 00000000 18185218 0000cccc |
| 80 | 40464000 3c3c2000 58000000 61000000 |
| 81 | 00000000 00000000 00000000 008b6000 |
| 82 | 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Typical example of pbi.cfg file: |
| 85 | ----------------------------------- |
| 86 | |
| 87 | #PBI commands |
| 88 | #Initialize CPC1 |
| 89 | 09010000 00200400 |

| 94 | 09010f00 08000000 |
| 95 | 09010000 80000000 |
| 96 | #Configure LAW for CPC1 |
| 97 | 09000d00 00000000 |

| 101 | 09000014 ff000000 |
| 102 | 09000018 81000000 |
| 103 | #Initialize eSPI controller |
| 104 | 09110000 80000403 |
