Subject: armv8: semihosting: add a command to load semihosted images
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=202a674bb8b7d7867503224857a2b0e04617d9b3;p=u-boot.git

armv8: semihosting: add a command to load semihosted images

Instead of sprinkling custom code and calls over the Vexpress64
boardfile, create a command that loads images using semihosting
just like we would load from flash memory of over the network,
using a special command:

    smhload <image> <address>

This will make it possible to remove some custom calls and
code and make the boot easier.

-The level of semihosting support is minimal, restricted to just what it
-takes to load images to memory. If more semihosting functionality is
-required, such as file seek, outputting strings, reading characters, etc,
-then it can be easily added later.
+The semihosting code adds a command:
 
-We require that the board include file define these env variables:
-- kernel_name		e.g. "uImage"
-- kernel_addr_r		e.g. "0x80000000"
-- initrd_name		e.g. "ramdisk.img"
-- initrd_addr_r		e.g. "0x88000000"
-- fdt_name		e.g. "devtree.dtb"
-- fdt_addr_r		e.g. "0x83000000"
+  smhload <image> <address> [env var]
 
-Optionally, "fdt_high" and "initrd_high" can be specified as per
-their rules for allowing or preventing copying of these images.
-
-For the "fdt chosen" startup macro, this code will then define:
-- initrd_end (based on retrieving initrd_addr_r plus actual initrd_size)
-
-We will then load the kernel, initrd, and fdt into the specified
-locations in memory in a similar way that the ATF fastmodel code
-uses semihosting calls to load other boot stages and u-boot itself.
+That will load an image from the host filesystem into RAM at the specified
+address and optionally store the load end address in the specified
+environment variable.
