* arc: introduce "mdbtrick" targetAlexey Brodkin2015-01-091-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MetaWare debugger (MDB) is still used as a primary tool for interaction with target via JTAG. Moreover some very advanced features are not yet implemented in GDB for ARC (and not sure if they will be implemnted sometime soon given complexity and rare need for those features for common user). So if we're talking about development process when U-Boot is loaded in target memory not by low-level boot-loader but manually through JTAG chances are high developer uses MDB for it. But MDB doesn't support PIE (position-independent executable) - it will refuse to even start - that means no chance to load elf contents on target. Then the only way to load U-Boot in MDB is to fake it by: 1. Reset PIE flag in ELF header This is simpe - on attempt to open elf MDB checks header and if it doesn't match its expectation refuces to use provided elf. 2. Strip all debug information from elf If (1) is done then MDB will open elf but on parsing of elf's debug info it will refuse to process due to debug info it cannot understand (symbols with PIE relocation). Even though it could be done manually (I got it documented quite a while ago here http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ARCNotes) having this automated way is very convenient. User may build U-Boot that will be loaded on target via MDB saying "make mdbtrick". Then if we now apply the manipulation MDB will happily start and will load all required sections into the target. Indeed there will be no source-level debug info available. But still MDB will do its work on showing disassembly, global symbols, registers, accessing low-level debug facilities etc. As a summary - this is a pretty dirty hack but it simplifies life a lot for us ARc developers.

* Kbuild: introduce Makefile in arch/$ARCH/Daniel Schwierzeck2014-12-081-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a Makefile under arch/$ARCH/ and include it in the top Makefile (similar to Linux kernel). This allows further refactoringi like moving architecture-specific code out of global makefiles, deprecating config variables (CPU, CPUDIR, SOC) or deprecating arch/$ARCH/config.mk. In contrary to Linux kernel, U-Boot defines the ARCH variable by Kconfig, thus the arch Makefile can only included conditionally after the top config.mk.

* kconfig: remove redundant "string" type in arch and board KconfigsMasahiro Yamada2014-09-131-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now the types of CONFIG_SYS_{ARCH, CPU, SOC, VENDOR, BOARD, CONFIG_NAME} are specified in arch/Kconfig. We can delete the ones in arch and board Kconfig files. This commit can be easily reproduced by the following command: find . -name Kconfig -a ! -path ./arch/Kconfig | xargs sed -i -e ' /config[[:space:]]SYS_\(ARCH\|CPU\|SOC\|\VENDOR\|BOARD\|CONFIG_NAME\)/ { N s/\n[[:space:]]*string// } ' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com>
* arc: Fix printf size_t format related warnings (again...)Vasili Galka2014-08-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | The basic idea: Define size_t using the __SIZE_TYPE__ compiler-defined type. For detailed explanation see similar patch for the nios2 arch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/379938/ Signed-off-by: Vasili Galka <vvv444@gmail.com> Cc: Alexey Brodkin <alexey.brodkin@synopsys.com>

* kconfig: add board Kconfig and defconfig filesMasahiro Yamada2014-07-301-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds: - arch/${ARCH}/Kconfig provide a menu to select target boards - board/${VENDOR}/${BOARD}/Kconfig or board/${BOARD}/Kconfig set CONFIG macros to the appropriate values for each board - configs/${TARGET_BOARD}_defconfig default setting of each board (This commit was automatically generated by a conversion script based on boards.cfg) In Linux Kernel, defconfig files are located under arch/${ARCH}/configs/ directory. It works in Linux Kernel since ARCH is always given from the command line for cross compile. But in U-Boot, ARCH is not given from the command line. Which means we cannot know ARCH until the board configuration is done. That is why all the "*_defconfig" files should be gathered into a single directory ./configs/.

* common/board_f: Initialized global data for generic boardYork Sun2014-05-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some platforms (tested on mpc85xx, mpc86xx) use global data before calling function baord_inti_f(). The data should not be cleared later. Any arch which uses global data in generic board board_init_f() should define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The syntax CROSS_COMIPLE ?= <cross_compiler_prefix> does not work because config.mk is parsed after exporting CROSS_COMPILE.

* arc: fix relocation for big-endian targetAlexey Brodkin2014-02-211-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of little-endian ARC700 instructions (which may include target address) are encoded as middle-endian. That's why it's required to swap bytes after read and ten right before write back. But in case of big-endian ARC700 instructions are encoded as a plain big-endian. Thus no need for byte swapping.

* arc: add architecture header filesAlexey Brodkin2014-02-0717-0/+593
These are header files used by ARC700 architecture. Also note that "arch-arc700/hardware.h" is only required for compilation of "designware_i2c" driver which refers to "asm/arch/hardware.h". It would be good to fix mentioned driver sometime soon but it will cause changes in ARM board configs that use "designware_i2c".
