Subject: PATCH: Fix MMC boot in OMAP4 xload configurations
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:53:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AF4465C4-1845-4DA0-B5B8-EEE9CB5A8AB5@yamaha.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <35246B69-4D16-4459-9E1E-0C79C4350EFF@yamaha.co.uk>

omap4_bootsrc() always returns OMAP_BOOTSRC_UNKNOWN when an OMAP4 xload image is built with pcm049_xload_defconfig.  This is likely to be the case for all OMAP4 xload configurations.

This means that when the CPU is configured to boot from MMC1 with boot[5:0],  xload will load the second stage boot loader from NAND flash (if present) rather than MMC1 as intended. 

omap4_bootsrc() reads data left behind towards the top of the SRAM by the ROM-based boot-loader.  This is the same SRAM into which the xload image is loaded.   The xload image is of a sufficient size that it overwrites these locations, and OMAP4_TRACING_VECTOR3 always contains 0.

These locations are in fact trampled by data in the BSS section of the image.   The single largest item in there is FILE files[MAX_FILES].  This patch reduces the size of files[] considerably.  The image now JUST fits. 

Long term, a better solution would be to not rely on OMAP4_TRACING_VECTOR3, and instead use the structure passed into the xload by the ROM-based boot loader - which also indicates the boot device.     This wold allow us another 4kB of code before we overflow the SRAM completely.
