Overview of SPL on OMAP3 devices
|
||
|
|
================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document provides an overview of how SPL functions on OMAP3 (and related
|
||
|
|
such as am35x and am37x) processors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Methodology
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On these platforms the ROM supports trying a sequence of boot devices. Once
|
||
|
|
one has been used successfully to load SPL this information is stored in memory
|
||
|
|
and the location stored in a register. We will read this to determine where to
|
||
|
|
read U-Boot from in turn.

Memory Map
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is an example of a typical setup. See top-level README for documentation
|
||
|
|
of which CONFIG variables control these values. For a given board and the
|
||
|
|
amount of DRAM available to it different values may need to be used.
|
||
|
|
Note that the size of the SPL text rodata and data is enforced with a CONFIG
|
||
|
|
option and growing over that size results in a link error. The SPL stack
|
||
|
|
starts at the top of SRAM (which is configurable) and grows downward. The
|
||
|
|
space between the top of SRAM and the enforced upper bound on the size of the
|
||
|
|
SPL text, data and rodata is considered the safe stack area. Details on
|
||
|
|
confirming this behavior are shown below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A portion of the system memory map looks as follows:
|
||
|
|
SRAM: 0x40200000 - 0x4020FFFF
|
||
|
|
DDR1: 0x80000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option 1 (SPL only):
|
||
|
|
0x40200800 - 0x4020BBFF: Area for SPL text, data and rodata
|
||
|
|
0x4020E000 - 0x4020FFFC: Area for the SPL stack.
|
||
|
|
0x80000000 - 0x8007FFFF: Area for the SPL BSS.
|
||
|
|
0x80100000: CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE of U-Boot
|
||
|
|
0x80208000 - 0x80307FFF: malloc() pool available to SPL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Option 2 (SPL or X-Loader):
|
||
|
|
0x40200800 - 0x4020BBFF: Area for SPL text, data and rodata
|
||
|
|
0x4020E000 - 0x4020FFFC: Area for the SPL stack.
|
||
|
|
0x80008000: CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE of U-Boot
|
||
|
|
0x87000000 - 0x8707FFFF: Area for the SPL BSS.
|
||
|
|
0x87080000 - 0x870FFFFF: malloc() pool available to SPL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the areas that reside within DDR1 they must not be used prior to s_init()
|
||
|
|
completing. Note that CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE must be clear of the areas that SPL
|
||
|
|
uses while running. This is why we have two versions of the memory map that
|
||
|
|
only vary in where the BSS and malloc pool reside.
