Tom Rini 83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

How to use and build U-Boot on mx6sabresd
-----------------------------------------

The following methods can be used for booting mx6sabresd boards:

1. Booting from SD card

2. Booting from eMMC

3. Booting via Falcon mode (SPL launches the kernel directly)


1. Booting from SD card via SPL
-------------------------------

mx6sabresd_defconfig target supports mx6q/mx6dl/mx6qp sabresd variants.

In order to build it:

$ make mx6sabresd_defconfig

$ make

This will generate the SPL and u-boot.img binaries.

- Flash the SPL binary into the SD card:

$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1 && sync

- Flash the u-boot.img binary into the SD card:

$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=69 && sync


2. Booting from eMMC
--------------------

$ make mx6sabresd_defconfig

$ make

This will generate the SPL and u-boot.img binaries.

- Boot first from SD card as shown in the previous section

In U-boot change the eMMC partition config:

=> mmc partconf 2 1 0 0

Mount the eMMC in the host PC:

=> ums 0 mmc 2

- Flash SPL and u-boot.img binaries into the eMMC:

$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1 && sync
$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=69 && sync

Set SW6 to eMMC 8-bit boot: 11010110


3. Booting via Falcon mode
--------------------------

$ make mx6sabresd_defconfig
$ make

This will generate the SPL image called SPL and the u-boot.img.

- Flash the SPL image into the SD card:

$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1 oflag=sync status=none && sync

- Flash the u-boot.img image into the SD card:

$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=69 oflag=sync status=none && sync

Create a partition for root file system and extract it there:

$ sudo tar xvf rootfs.tar.gz -C /media/root

The SD card must have enough space for raw "args" and "kernel".
To configure Falcon mode for the first time, on U-Boot do the following commands:

- Setup the IP server:

# setenv serverip <server_ip_address>

- Download dtb file:

# dhcp ${fdt_addr} imx6q-sabresd.dtb

- Download kernel image:

# dhcp ${loadaddr} uImage

- Write kernel at 2MB offset:

# mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x1000 0x4000

- Setup kernel bootargs:

# setenv bootargs "console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait quiet rw"

- Prepare args:

# spl export fdt ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr}

- Write args 1MB data (0x800 sectors) to 1MB offset (0x800 sectors)

# mmc write 18000000 0x800 0x800

- Press KEY_VOL_UP key, power up the board and then SPL binary will
launch the kernel directly.
