Need help adding Falcon Mode patch in Yocto

richhackl — Sun, 08 Jul 2018 19:27:37 GMT

I am trying to add Falcon Mode to an existing IMX6 Yocto project (imx_v2015.04.4.1.15_1.2.0_ga). I have added a u-boot patch referenced in Diego Dorta's blog (Link: How to decrease boot time on iMX6 - i.MXDev Blog ).

In the patch the MENU_BUTTON is used to select falcon mode vs u-boot:

I also added a patch for mx6solosabresd_defconfig to enable SPL, etc:

I have also set SPL_BINARY = "SPL" in u-boot.inc.

The problem is that Yocto does not build or deploy SPL and I get errors such as "mx6solosabresd_defconfig/SPL - no such directory". I have confirmed that the "SPL EXPORT" command does get built, however SPL.c itself always fails to build during the bitbake "package u-boot-imx" command.

Typical bitbake commands to rebuild
bitbake -c clean u-boot-imx bitbake -c clean linux-imx bitbake -v -D -f -c compile linux-imx bitbake -v -D -f -c package u-boot-imx ###errors occur here bitbake -v -D -f -c deploy u-boot-imx bitbake -v _D -f -c rootfs humboldt-image

Typical bitbake commands to rebuild

bitbake -c clean u-boot-imx
bitbake -c clean linux-imx
bitbake -v -D -f -c compile linux-imx
bitbake -v -D -f -c package u-boot-imx ###errors occur here

bitbake -v -D -f -c deploy u-boot-imx

bitbake -v _D -f -c rootfs humboldt-image

Am I missing something simple here? What is the correct way to tell Yocto to build and include SPL in the u-boot image?

Have you build by typing this "bitbake u-boot-imx"?

richhackl — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 14:11:50 GMT

Yes, I essentially use variations of the following list of commands for rebuilding u-boot:

bitbake -c clean u-boot-imx
bitbake -v -D -f -c package u-boot-imx ###errors occur here

bitbake -v -D -f -c deploy u-boot-imx

bitbake -v _D -f -c rootfs humboldt-image

NOTE: since my previous post I have determined that the following #defines need to be in the board header file (mx6sabresd.h) and not in the defconfig file:

#define CONFIG_SPL_BUILD=y
#define CONFIG_SPL_OS_BUILD=y
#define CONFIG_CMD_SPL=y

I can build v2015_04 u-boot with SPL using the toolchain but I still can not direct bitbake recipes to build SPL.

I did find that in the poky u-boot.inc recipe include file, there is no script to support the compile of SPL - there is only script to install and deploy SPL.
