2010-08-30Read/write VFAT support from Rockbox-3.3 FAT stackMichael Brandt
Add read/write VFAT support from Rockbox-3.3 FAT stack. It should be also applicable to the unmodified 2009.11 U-Boot release. Note that is was taken as is from Rockbox and from a older U-Boot Rockbox patch. "checkpatch" shows very many coding style errors and warnings, but it is tedious work to clean this up. To make this patch work an additional mmc_block_write() board support routine and the errno variable are needed. Furthermore following defines in the board config header file: #define CONFIG_ROCKBOX_FAT 1 #define CONFIG_U_BOOT 1 #define CONFIG_SUPPORT_VFAT 1 #define CONFIG_CMD_TREE_FAT This will be added in a follow-up patch. This patch is based on the patch from Etienne Carriere <etienne.carriere@stericsson.com> for the U671x U-Boot: This commit adds FAT write support to u-boot native read-only FAT code. Commit initially applied on u-boot-v2009.01 (SHA1: 72d15e705bc3983884105cb7755c7ba80e74a0a5) Based on FAT stack dumped from Rockbox package v3.1 (www.rockbox.org). Based on initial Rockbox FAT stack integration in u-boot by Keith Outwater (outwater@comcast.net). Current porting is aligned with Rockbox v3.3 FAT stack. Enable upon config switches: CONFIG_CMD_FAT CONFIG_ROCKBOX_FAT CONFIG_CMD_TREE_FAT (recommended) CONFIG_SUPPORT_VFAT (recommended) C code APIs (from U-boot native FAT support): int fat_register_device(block_dev_desc_t *dev_desc, int part_no); long file_fat_read(const char *path, void *buf, unsigned long maxsize); int file_fat_ls(const char *dirname); int file_fat_detectfs(void); C code APIs (added by Rockbox FAT support): long file_fat_write(const char *path, void *buf, unsigned long maxsize); int file_fat_rm(const char *path); int file_fat_rmdir(const char *path); int file_fat_mkdir(const char *path); int file_fat_cd(const char *path); int file_fat_pwd(void); int file_fat_mv(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath); unsigned int rockbox_fat_free(unsigned long size_kbyte); unsigned int rockbox_fat_size(void); Use "help fat" from u-boot console to see available commands.

2009-10-27Add 'editenv' commandPeter Tyser
The editenv command can be used to edit an environment variable. Editing an environment variable is useful when one wants to tweak an existing variable, for example fix a typo or change the baudrate in the 'bootargs' environment variable. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
2009-10-27Revert "env: only build env_embedded and envcrc when needed"Wolfgang Denk
Breaks building on many boards, and no really clean fix available yet. This reverts commit 6dab6add2d8ee80905234b326abc3de11be1d178.
2009-10-18env: only build env_embedded and envcrc when neededMike Frysinger
The env code is protected by the ENV_IS_EMBEDDED define, so attempting to compile the code when this isn't defined is pointless. Now that the env headers have unified around CONFIG_ENV_IS_EMBEDDED, convert the build system to only build the env objects when this is enabled. And now that the env code is conditionally compiled, we can drop the source code checks. For people who want to extract the environment manually, add a new option CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC that only enables the envcrc utility. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2009-09-25mucmc52, uc101: delete ata@3a00 node, if no CF card is detectedHeiko Schocher
U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. Signed-off-by: Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de>
2009-09-22Remove deprecated 'autoscr' command/variablesPeter Tyser
The more standard 'source' command provides identical functionality to the autoscr command.

2009-09-06Reset i2c slave devices during init on mpc5xxx cpusEric Millbrandt
Reset any i2c devices that may have been interrupted during a system reset. Normally this would be accomplished by clocking the line until SCL and SDA are released and then sending a start condtiion (From an Atmel datasheet). There is no direct access to the i2c pins so instead create start commands through the i2c interface. Send a start command then delay for the SDA Hold time, repeat this by disabling/enabling the bus a total of 9 times. Signed-off-by: Eric Millbrandt <emillbrandt@dekaresearch.com>
2009-09-02Blackfin: change global data register from P5 to P3Robin Getz
Since the Blackfin ABI favors higher scratch registers by default, use the last scratch register (P3) for global data rather than the first (P5). This allows the compiler's register allocator to use higher number scratch P registers, which in turn better matches the Blackfin instruction set, which reduces the size of U-Boot by more than 1024 bytes...

2009-07-16Remove legacy NAND and disk on chip code.Scott Wood
Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal. Any boards that use this were already not building in the previous release due to an #error. The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND, and it has also been removed. There is newer disk on chip code in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk on chip is not supported.

2009-07-07nand_spl: read environment early, when booting from NAND using nand_splGuennadi Liakhovetski
Currently, when booting from NAND using nand_spl, in the beginning the default environment is used until later in boot process the dynamic environment is read out. This way environment variables that must be interpreted early, like the baudrate or "silent", cannot be modified dynamically and remain at their default values. Fix this problem by reading out main and redundand (if used) copies of the environment in the nand_spl code.

We now have the 2 MTD infrastructure defines, CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE and CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS. CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE is needed (as explained above) for the "mtdparts" command and CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS is needed for UBI.

2009-04-04Add support for building native win32 toolsPeter Tyser
Add support for compiling the host tools in the tools directory using the MinGW toolchain. This produces executables which can be used on standard Windows computers without requiring cygwin. One must specify the MinGW compiler and strip utilities as if they were the host toolchain in order to build win32 executables, eg: make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
2009-04-03Add "source" command; prepare removal of "autoscr" commandWolfgang Denk
According to the doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt, the "autoscr" command will be replaced by the "source" command in approximately 6 months from now. This patch prepares this change and starts a 6 month transition period as follows: - The new "source" command has been added, which implements exactly the same functionlaity as the old "autoscr" command before - The old "autoscr" command name is kept as an alias for compatibility - Command sequences, script files atc. have been adapted to use the new "source" command - Related environment variables ("autoscript", "autoscript_uname") have *not* been adapted yet; these will be renamed resp. removed in a separate patch when the support for the "autoscr" command get's finally dropped.

2009-03-20Separate mtdparts command from jffs2Stefan Roese
Currently the mtdparts commands are included in the jffs2 command support. This doesn't make sense anymore since other commands (e.g. UBI) use this infrastructure as well now.

2009-02-19Create configuration option for restricted ns16550 functionsRon Madrid
This patch will create a configuration option for a minimum configuration for the ns16550 serial driver at drivers/serial/ns16550.c and will apply this new configuration option to the SIMPC8313.h config file in order to fix the NAND bootstrap build error. This option will exclude all functions with exception of NS16550_putc and NS16550_init. This will be used primarily to save space and remove unused code from builds in which space is limited.

2009-01-27soft_i2c.c add option for repeated start in i2c_read()Andrew Dyer
This patch adds a #define to optionally change the behaviour of i2c_read() in soft_i2c.c to send an I2C repeated start instead of a stop-start between sending the device address pointer write and reading back the data. The current behaviour is retained as the default. While most devices will work either way, I have a smart battery(*) that requires repeated start, and someone at some point found a device that required a stop-start.
