Kirkwood Boot Image generation using mkimage
---------------------------------------------
This document describes the U-Boot feature as it
is implemented for the Kirkwood family of SoCs.
The Kirkwood SoC's can boot directly from NAND FLASH,
SPI FLASH, SATA etc. using its internal bootRom support.
for more details refer section 24.2 of Kirkwood functional specifications.
ref: www.marvell.com/products/embedded.../kirkwood/index.jsp
Command syntax:
--------------
./tools/mkimage -l <kwboot_file>
to list the kwb image file details
./tools/mkimage -n <board specific configuration file> \
-T kwbimage -a <start address> -e <execution address> \
-d <input_raw_binary> <output_kwboot_file>
for ex.
./tools/mkimage -n ./board/Marvell/openrd_base/kwbimage.cfg \
-T kwbimage -a 0x00600000 -e 0x00600000 \

-d u-boot.bin u-boot.kwb
kwimage support available with mkimage utility will generate kirkwood boot
image that can be flashed on the board NAND/SPI flash
Board specific configuration file specifications:
------------------------------------------------
1. This file must present in the $(BOARDDIR) and the name should be
kwbimage.cfg (since this is used in Makefile)
2. This file can have empty lines and lines starting with "#" as first
character to put comments
3. This file can have configuration command lines as mentioned below,
any other information in this file is treated as invalid.
Configuration command line syntax:
---------------------------------
1. Each command line is must have two strings, first one command or address
and second one data string
2. Following are the valid command strings and associated data strings:-
Command string data string
-------------- -----------
BOOT_FROM nand/spi/sata
NAND_ECC_MODE default/rs/hamming/disabled
NAND_PAGE_SIZE any uint16_t hex value
SATA_PIO_MODE any uint32_t hex value
DDR_INIT_DELAY any uint32_t hex value
DATA regaddr and regdara hex value
you can have maximum 55 such register programming commands
3. All commands are optional to program
Typical example of kwimage.cfg file:
-----------------------------------
# Boot Media configurations
BOOT_FROM nand
NAND_ECC_MODE default
NAND_PAGE_SIZE 0x0800
# Configure RGMII-0 interface pad voltage to 1.8V
