U-Boot for arm64
|
||||
|
||||
Summary
|
||||
=======
|
||||
No hardware platform of arm64 is available now. The U-Boot is
|
||||
simulated on Foundation Model and Fast Model for ARMv8.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
1. Currenly, U-Boot run at the highest exception level processor
|
||||
supported and jump to EL2 or optionally EL1 before enter OS.
|
||||
|
||||
2. U-Boot for arm64 is compiled with AArch64-gcc. AArch64-gcc
|
||||
use rela relocation format, a tool(tools/relocate-rela) by Scott Wood
|
||||
is used to encode the initial addend of rela to u-boot.bin. After running,
|
||||
the U-Boot will be relocated to destination again.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Fdt should be placed at a 2-megabyte boundary and within the first 512
|
||||
megabytes from the start of the kernel image. So, fdt_high should be
|
||||
defined specially.
|
||||
Please reference linux/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt for detail.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Spin-table is used to wake up secondary processors. One location
|
||||
(or per processor location) is defined to hold the kernel entry point
|
||||
for secondary processors. It must be ensured that the location is
|
||||
accessible and zero immediately after secondary processor
|
||||
enter slave_cpu branch execution in start.S. The location address
|
||||
is encoded in cpu node of DTS. Linux kernel store the entry point
|
||||
of secondary processors to it and send event to wakeup secondary
|
||||
processors.
|
||||
Please reference linux/Documentation/arm64/booting.txt for detail.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Generic board is supported.
|
||||
|
||||
6. CONFIG_ARM64 instead of CONFIG_ARMV8 is used to distinguish aarch64 and
|
||||
aarch32 specific codes.
