|---|
| 4 | =============================================================================== |
|---|
| 5 | src/ Source files |
|---|
| 6 | The entry point of this boot loader is the file reset.S |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | include/ Header files |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | conf/ Platform specific files and ldscript examples. |
|---|
| 11 | For each platform, we must define a new directory. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | ---> defs_platform.h: |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | This file is mandatory. This file defines the |
|---|
| 16 | NB_PROCS per cluster, the NB_CLUSTERS and the base address of |
|---|
| 17 | the TTY, IOC and XICU devices. |
|---|
| 18 | It defines also: |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | -> CACHE_COHERENCE |
|---|
| 21 | This constant is used by the boot_ioc_read function to know |
|---|
| 22 | if the buffer used to store the blocks from the block_device |
|---|
| 23 | must be invalidated in the dcache after the transfert has |
|---|
| 24 | finished. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | -> CACHE_LINE_SIZE |
|---|
| 27 | This constant is mandatory if CACHE_COHERENCE=0 |
|---|
| 28 | This constant defines the size in bytes of a cache line. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | -> BOOT_DEBUG |
|---|
| 31 | Set value to 1 to show some debug messages during loading |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | -> BOOT_DEBUG_IOC |
|---|
| 34 | Set value to 1 to show some debug messages during loading |
|---|
| 35 | concerning the disk accesses. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | -> IRQ_PER_PROC |
|---|
| 38 | This constant is used to know how many XICU irq outputs are |
|---|
| 39 | connected to each processor. |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | ---> platform_soclib.dts: |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | Device tree file. It is mandatory if compiling for a SOCLIB |
|---|
| 44 | platform and USE_DT=1. |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | ---> platform_fpga.dts: |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | Device tree file. It is mandatory if compiling for a FPGA platform |
|---|
| 49 | and USE_DT=1. |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | ---> ldscript: |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | LD script defining the segments of this boot loader. |
|---|
| 54 | We define two segments: |
|---|
| 55 | seg_stack_base: Base address of the stack used by processor 0 |
|---|
| 56 | during the boot process. read-write data and bss will also |
|---|
| 57 | be there. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | seg_boot_base: Base address of the code and read-only data |
|---|
| 60 | defined for this loader |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | Makefile Makefile for compile the boot loader. |
|---|
| 63 | Arguments to pass: |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | ---> PLATFORM_DIR=<platform_dir> |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | Defines the directory where to find the plateform specific |
|---|
| 68 | files |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| 70 | ---> SOCLIB=1 |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | If using SOCLIB, define this flag to use the SOCLIB device |
|---|
| 73 | drivers |
|---|
| 74 | |
|---|
| 75 | ---> USE_DT=0 |
|---|
| 76 | |
|---|
| 77 | If a device tree file is not used, set this flag to 0. It |
|---|
| 78 | is set by default to 1. |
|---|
| 79 | |
|---|
| 80 | e.g. make PLATFORM_DIR=conf/<platform_dir> SOCLIB=1 USE_DT=0 |
|---|
