About Imx28 HAB IVT

According AN555 pdf description

The Image Vector Table (IVT) is a mandatory part of the boot image, and its structure is defined as:

typedef struct

{

uint32_t header;

uint32_t *entry;

uint32_t reserved1;

uint32_t *dcd;

boot_data_t *boot_data;

uint32_t *self;

uint32_t *csf;

uint32_t reserved2;

} hab_ivt_t;

Where:

uint32_t: A type representing a 32 bit unsigned integer.

Header: Header identifying the type of data structure (0xD1), its size (0x0020), and HAB

version (0x40). For i.MX28, this is D100 2040h.

*entry: Absolute address of the first instruction to execute from the image.

reserved1: Reserved and should be zero.

*dcd: Absolute address of the image Device Configuration Table (DCD). If using

bootlets to configure i.MX28, this field should be set to NULL.

*boot_data: Absolute address of the Boot Data structure. This should be set to NULL for

i.MX28.

*self: Absolute address of the IVT. Used internally by the ROM.

*csf: Absolute address of the Command Sequence File (CSF) used by the HAB library.

This field must be set to NULL when not performing a secure boot.

reserved2: Reserved and should be zero.

"The IVT is a block of data that must reside on the boot device." this line what's meaning? The IVT how to reside on the boot device?

Hi bruce

right, ivt should reside on device, image is produced by elftosb tool, please look

at documentation included in package

Snippets, Boot Code, Headers, Monitors, etc. (4)

Hi igorpadykov:

I am modify the updater_ivt.bd like below:

options {

driveTag = 0x00;

flags = 0x01;

}

sources {

power_prep="./power_prep/power_prep";

power_prep_bin = "./power_prep.bin";

power_prep_hab_data = "./power_prep_hab_data";

sdram_prep="./boot_prep/boot_prep";

sdram_prep_bin = "./boot_prep.bin";

sdram_prep_hab_data = "./boot_prep_hab_data";

linux_prep="./linux_prep/output-target/linux_prep";

linux_prep_bin = "./linux_prep.bin";

linux_prep_hab_data = "./linux_prep_hab_data";

linux_kernel_hab_data = "./linux_kernel_hab_data";

zImage="zImage";

initramfs="initramfs.cpio.gz";

}

section (0) {

//----------------------------------------------------------

// Power Supply initialization

//----------------------------------------------------------

load power_prep_bin > 0x10;

load power_prep;

load power_prep_hab_data > power_prep:__hab_data;

load ivt (entry = power_prep:input_ivt) > 0x8000;

hab call 0x8000;

//----------------------------------------------------------

// SDRAM initialization

//----------------------------------------------------------

load sdram_prep_bin > 0x10;

load sdram_prep;

load sdram_prep_hab_data > sdram_prep:__hab_data;

load ivt (entry = sdram_prep:input_ivt) > 0x8000;

hab call 0x8000;

//----------------------------------------------------------

// Prepare to boot Linux

//----------------------------------------------------------

load linux_prep_bin > 0x2000;

load linux_prep;

load linux_prep_hab_data > linux_prep:__hab_data;

load ivt (entry = linux_prep:input_ivt) > 0x8000;

hab call 0x8000;

//----------------------------------------------------------

// Load ans start Linux kernel

//----------------------------------------------------------

load zImage > 0x40008000;

load 0.b > 0x40800000..0x40c00000;

load initramfs > 0x40800000;

load linux_kernel_hab_data > linux_prep:__hab_data;

load ivt (entry = linux_prep:input_ivt) > 0x8000;

hab jump 0x8000;

}

I can't sure this is right, because use mfgtool proggramming get 0x80501001 error code. is my bd file error?
