  U-Boot on Rockchip
  ==================
  
  There are several repositories available with versions of U-Boot that support
  many Rockchip devices [1] [2].
  
  The current mainline support is experimental only and is not useful for
  anything. It should provide a base on which to build.
f13871307   Simon Glass   rockchip: Update ...
16
  So far only support for the RK3288 and RK3036 is provided.

  Writing to the board with USB
  =============================
  
  For USB to work you must get your board into ROM boot mode, either by erasing
  your MMC or (perhaps) holding the recovery button when you boot the board.
  To erase your MMC, you can boot into Linux and type (as root)
  
     dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M
  
  Connect your board's OTG port to your computer.
  
  To create a suitable image and write it to the board:

  If all goes well you should something like:
  
     U-Boot SPL 2015.07-rc1-00383-ge345740-dirty (Jun 03 2015 - 10:06:49)
     Card did not respond to voltage select!
     spl: mmc init failed with error: -17
     ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
  
  You will need to reset the board before each time you try. Yes, that's all
  it does so far. If support for the Rockchip USB protocol or DFU were added
  in SPL then we could in principle load U-Boot and boot to a prompt from USB
  as several other platforms do. However it does not seem to be possible to
  use the existing boot ROM code from SPL.
  
  
  Booting from an SD card
  =======================
  
  To write an image that boots from an SD card (assumed to be /dev/sdc):

  The rockchip bootrom can load and boot an initial spl, then continue to
  load a second-level bootloader(ie. U-BOOT) as soon as it returns to bootrom.
  Therefore RK3288 has another loading sequence like RK3036. The option of
  U-Boot is controlled with this setting in U-Boot:

  	firefly-rk3288/spl/u-boot-spl-dtb.bin out && \

        debug uart must be disabled

  Booting from an SD card on RK3288 with TPL
  ==========================================
  
  Since the size of SPL can't be exceeded 0x8000 bytes in RK3288, it is not possible add
  new SPL features like Falcon mode or etc.
  
  So introduce TPL so-that adding new features to SPL is possible because now TPL should
  run minimal with code like DDR, clock etc and rest of new features in SPL.
  
  As of now TPL is added on Vyasa-RK3288 board.
  
  To write an image that boots from an SD card (assumed to be /dev/mmcblk0):
  
     ./tools/mkimage -n rk3288 -T rksd -d ./tpl/u-boot-tpl.bin out &&
      cat ./spl/u-boot-spl-dtb.bin >> out &&

  Booting from an SD card on RK3188
  =================================
  
  For rk3188 boards the general storage onto the card stays the same as
  described above, but the image creation needs a bit more care.
  
  The bootrom of rk3188 expects to find a small 1kb loader which returns
  control to the bootrom, after which it will load the real loader, which
4d9253fb7   Philipp Tomsich   rockchip: rk3188:...
167
168
169
170
  can then be up to 29kb in size and does the regular ddr init.  This is
  handled by a single image (built as the SPL stage) that tests whether
  it is handled for the first or second time via code executed from the
  boot0-hook.
f46b859bf   Heiko Stübner   rockchip: rk3188:...
171
172
173
174
175
176
  
  Additionally the rk3188 requires everything the bootrom loads to be
  rc4-encrypted. Except for the very first stage the bootrom always reads
  and decodes 2kb pages, so files should be sized accordingly.

     dd if=out.bin of=out.bin.pad bs=4M conv=sync
  
  This converts the SPL image to the required SPI format by adding the Rockchip
  header and skipping every 2KB block. Then the U-Boot image is written at
  offset 128KB and the whole image is padded to 4MB which is the SPI flash size.
  The position of U-Boot is controlled with this setting in U-Boot:
  
     #define CONFIG_SYS_SPI_U_BOOT_OFFS	(128 << 10)
  
  If you have a Dediprog em100pro connected then you can write the image with:
  
        sudo em100 -s -c GD25LQ32 -d out.bin.pad -r
  
  When booting you should see something like:

  Development Notes
  =================
  
  There are plenty of patches in the links below to help with this work.
  
  [1] https://github.com/rkchrome/uboot.git
  [2] https://github.com/linux-rockchip/u-boot-rockchip.git branch u-boot-rk3288
  [3] https://github.com/linux-rockchip/rkflashtool.git
  [4] http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3288/Serial_debug/en
  
  rkimage
  -------
  
  rkimage.c produces an SPL image suitable for sending directly to the boot ROM
  over USB OTG. This is a very simple format - just the string RK32 (as 4 bytes)
  followed by u-boot-spl-dtb.bin.
  
  The boot ROM loads image to 0xff704000 which is in the internal SRAM. The SRAM
  starts at 0xff700000 and extends to 0xff718000 where we put the stack.
  
  rksd
  ----
  
  rksd.c produces an image consisting of 32KB of empty space, a header and
  u-boot-spl-dtb.bin. The header is defined by 'struct header0_info' although
  most of the fields are unused by U-Boot. We just need to specify the
  signature, a flag and the block offset and size of the SPL image.
  
  The header occupies a single block but we pad it out to 4 blocks. The header
  is encoding using RC4 with the key 7c4e0304550509072d2c7b38170d1711. The SPL
  image can be encoded too but we don't do that.
  
  The maximum size of u-boot-spl-dtb.bin which the boot ROM will read is 32KB,
  or 0x40 blocks. This is a severe and annoying limitation. There may be a way
  around this limitation, since there is plenty of SRAM, but at present the
  board refuses to boot if this limit is exceeded.
  
  The image produced is padded up to a block boundary (512 bytes). It should be
  written to the start of an SD card using dd.
  
  Since this image is set to load U-Boot from the SD card at block offset,
  CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, dd should be used to write
  u-boot-dtb.img to the SD card at that offset. See above for instructions.
  
  rkspi
  -----
  
  rkspi.c produces an image consisting of a header and u-boot-spl-dtb.bin. The
  resulting image is then spread out so that only the first 2KB of each 4KB
  sector is used. The header is the same as with rksd and the maximum size is
  also 32KB (before spreading). The image should be written to the start of
  SPI flash.
  
  See above for instructions on how to write a SPI image.

  Device tree and driver model
  ----------------------------
  
  Where possible driver model is used to provide a structure to the
  functionality. Device tree is used for configuration. However these have an
  overhead and in SPL with a 32KB size limit some shortcuts have been taken.
  In general all Rockchip drivers should use these features, with SPL-specific
  modifications where required.
