zynq: document how to use custom ps7_init files
Since U-Boot supported SPL for Zynq boards at v2014.04 release, it
became much easier to build a system. At that time, however, users
still needed to manually copy ps7_init.c/h to the U-Boot source tree
to generate a working SPL image because ps7_init.c/h output from
Xilinx tools are not compatible with GPL.
Later, the license problem was solved when Xilinx tools became able
to output the GPL-compatible variants (ps7_init_gpl.c/h) as well.
U-Boot v2015.07 or later includes ps7_init_gpl.c/h for major Zynq
boards so that users can build a boot image straight away.
Now Buildroot supports 3 boards (Zedboard, MicroZed, ZC706) without
any manual intervention. This is a good thing itself, but commit
b9cd72cdbf
("zynq_zc706: bump U-Boot to xilinx-v2016.2") entirely
dropped the information about custom ps7_init files.
This commit provides up-to-date guidance for how to customize the
ps7_init files.

- Avnet ZedBoard (zynq_zed_defconfig)

The following build procedure focuses on them, but you can adjust it to your

board even if it is not listed above. Major Zynq-based boards are supported by
|
||||
U-Boot, and their Device Trees are merged in Linux Kernel. If your board is the
|
||||
case, booting the kernel is a piece of cake. All you need to do is to change:
|
||||
- Kernel Device Tree file name (BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INTREE_DTS_NAME)
|

- U-Boot board defconfig (BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARD_KCONFIG)

If you want to build a system for other boards based on the same SoC
|
||||
(for ex. Digilent Zybo board), and the board is already supported by
|
||||
the upstream kernel and U-Boot, you simply need to change the
|
||||
following Buildroot options:
|
||||
|
||||
- Kernel Device Tree file name (BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INTREE_DTS_NAME)
|
||||
- U-Boot board defconfig (BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARD_DEFCONFIG)
|
||||
|
||||
Custom ps7_init_gpl.c/h support:
|
||||
|
||||
To generate a working boot.bin image, ps7_init_gpl.c/h are required in
|
||||
the U-Boot source tree. Without those files, boot.bin will be built
|
||||
successfully but it will not be functional at all. Those files are
|
||||
output from the Xilinx tools, but for convenience, U-Boot includes the
|
||||
default ps7_init_gpl.c/h of popular boards. Those files may need to be
|
||||
updated for any programmable logic customizations which impact
|
||||
ps7_init (clock/pin setup & mapping/AXI bridge setup/etc). See
|
||||
board/xilinx/zynq/ directory of U-Boot for natively supported ps7_init
|
||||
files. If the ps7_init files for your board are not found in U-Boot,
|
||||
you need to add them by yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Start with a defconfig supported by Buildroot (e.g. Zedboard)
|
||||
make zynq_zed_defconfig
|
||||
|
||||
2) make uboot-menuconfig
|
||||
Visit the following menu and enable CONFIG_ZYNQ_CUSTOM_INIT.
|
||||
|
||||
ARM architecture --->
|
||||
[*] Use custom ps7_init provided by Xilinx tool
|
||||
|
||||
3) Copy ps7_init_gpl.c/h generated by the Xilinx tools into
|
||||
output/build/uboot-xilinx-<pkg version>/board/xilinx/zynq/custom_hw_platform/
|
||||
|
||||
4) make
|
||||
|
||||
Note: The files in step 3 will need to be re-copied after cleaning the
|
||||
output directory and at this time, there is no way to save them as
|
||||
part of the buildroot configuration, except as a U-Boot patch.
