Masahiro Yamada 6dd5a33c48 zynq_zed: bump U-Boot to xilinx-v2016.2 This is the latest release tag in the Xilinx repository, based on U-Boot v2016.01 in the mainline. Commit `46d6a561be` ("zedboard: Generate BOOT.BIN automatically") switched from the Xilinx GitHub repository to the U-Boot mainline, but this commit gets it back to the Xilinx GitHub repository for the following reasons: - This defconfig still relies on the Xilinx's local repository for the kernel. The vendor does the best test for the combination of U-Boot and the kernel with the same release tag (xilinx-v2016.2 in this case). - At the time of commit `46d6a561be`, the u-boot-xlnx still needed manual copy of ps7_init(_gpl).c/h in order to build a working SPL image. So, the mainline U-Boot had advantage in that point of time. However, the improvement in the mainline U-Boot was merged into the u-boot-xlnx at the xilinx-v2015.3 release. Now, the mainline and the u-boot-xlnx are even in this point of view. - The mainline U-Boot defaults to boot FIT, so something must be done; either patch environments around with a local patch to switch to uImage booting (current solution), or build an FIT with a post build script (chromebook snow does this). On the other hand, the Xilinx repository defaults to uImage booting, so it is straightforward, and needs no addition care.

Masahiro Yamada 6dd5a33c48 zynq_zed: bump U-Boot to xilinx-v2016.2

This is the latest release tag in the Xilinx repository, based on
U-Boot v2016.01 in the mainline.

Commit 46d6a561be ("zedboard: Generate BOOT.BIN automatically")
switched from the Xilinx GitHub repository to the U-Boot mainline,
but this commit gets it back to the Xilinx GitHub repository for the
following reasons:

 - This defconfig still relies on the Xilinx's local repository for
   the kernel.  The vendor does the best test for the combination of
   U-Boot and the kernel with the same release tag (xilinx-v2016.2
   in this case).

 - At the time of commit 46d6a561be, the u-boot-xlnx still needed
   manual copy of ps7_init(_gpl).c/h in order to build a working SPL
   image.  So, the mainline U-Boot had advantage in that point of
   time.  However, the improvement in the mainline U-Boot was merged
   into the u-boot-xlnx at the xilinx-v2015.3 release.  Now, the
   mainline and the u-boot-xlnx are even in this point of view.

 - The mainline U-Boot defaults to boot FIT, so something must be
   done; either patch environments around with a local patch to
   switch to uImage booting (current solution), or build an FIT
   with a post build script (chromebook snow does this).  On the
   other hand, the Xilinx repository defaults to uImage booting,
   so it is straightforward, and needs no addition care.

This commit does:

 - Switch to the Xilinx custom git repository, and stick to the
   xilinx-v2016.2 tag.

 - Delete the local patch board/avnet/zedboard/uboot/0001...
   since the Xilinx custom repository can boot uImage by default.

 - Enable BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_IMG instead of ..._FORMAT_DTB_IMG
   since all the Zynq boards in U-Boot enable CONFIG_OF_EMBED.

 - Replace BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_ZYNQ_IMAGE with BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_SPL_NAME
   since U-Boot can natively generate the Zynq boot image now. The
   Zynq image support for mkimage tool was upstreamed at v2016.01
   (so xilinx-v2016.1 as well), so no additional tool is needed
   any more.

This is the buildroot board support for the Avnet Zedboard. The Zedboard is
a development board based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000 based All-Programmable
System-On-Chip.

Zedboard information including schematics, reference designs, and manuals are
available from http://www.zedboard.org .

Steps to create a working system for Zedboard:

1) make zynq_zed_defconfig
2) make
3) All needed files will be available in the output/images directory.
   Create a FAT32 partition at the beginning of your SD Card and copy files:
     - boot.bin
     - u-boot.img
     - uImage
     - uramdisk.image.gz (should be renamed from rootfs.cpio.uboot)
     - devicetree.dtb (should be renamed from zynq-zed.dtb)
   into your SD card
4) boot your Zedboard

You can alter the booting procedure by creating a file uEnv.txt
in the root of the SD card. It is a plain text file in format
<key>=<value> one per line:

kernel_image=myimage
modeboot=myboot
myboot=...
