We update all documentation files to: 1) Remove references to platform specific config.mk file since it is has been removed. 2) Add details about platform specific configs/defconfig and Kconfig files mandatory for each platform. 3) Add required packages in top-level README.md 4) Fix typo releated to object.mk in docs/platform/platform.md Signed-off-by: Anup Patel <apatel@ventanamicro.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com> Tested-by: Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com> Acked-by: Atish Patra <atishp@rivosinc.com> Tested-by: Atish Patra <atishp@rivosinc.com>

OpenSBI Firmware with Jump Address (FW_JUMP)
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
OpenSBI **firmware with Jump Address (FW_JUMP)** is a firmware which only
|
|
handles the address of the next booting stage entry, e.g. a bootloader or an OS
|
|
kernel, without directly including the binary code for this next stage.
|
|
|
|
A *FW_JUMP* firmware is particularly useful when the booting stage executed
|
|
prior to the OpenSBI firmware is capable of loading both the OpenSBI firmware
|
|
and the booting stage binary to follow the OpenSBI firmware.
|
|
|
|
*FW_JUMP* Compilation
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
A platform *FW_JUMP* firmware can be enabled by any of the following methods:
|
|
|
|
1. Specifying `FW_JUMP=y` on the top level `make` command line.
|
|
2. Specifying `FW_JUMP=y` in the target platform *objects.mk* configuration file.
|
|
|
|
The compiled *FW_JUMP* firmware ELF file is named *fw_jump.elf*. Its expanded
|
|
image file is *fw_jump.bin*. Both files are created in the platform-specific
|
|
build directory under the *build/platform/<platform_subdir>/firmware* directory.
|
|
|
|
*FW_JUMP* Firmware Configuration Options
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To operate correctly, a *FW_JUMP* firmware requires some configuration
|
|
parameters to be defined using either the top level `make` command line or the
|
|
target platform *objects.mk* configuration file. The possible parameters are as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
* **FW_JUMP_ADDR** - Address of the entry point of the booting stage to be
|
|
executed following OpenSBI firmware. This address generally corresponds
|
|
exactly to the address where this next booting stage was loaded. This is a
|
|
mandatory parameter. Compilation errors will result from not defining this
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
* **FW_JUMP_FDT_ADDR** - Address where the *flattened device tree (FDT file)*
|
|
passed by the prior booting stage will be placed in memory before executing
|
|
the booting stage following the OpenSBI firmware. If this option is not
|
|
provided, then the OpenSBI firmware will pass the FDT address passed by the
|
|
previous booting stage to the next booting stage.
|
|
|
|
*FW_JUMP* Example
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The *[qemu/virt]* platform illustrates how to configure and use a *FW_JUMP*
|
|
firmware. Detailed information regarding these platforms can be found in the
|
|
platform documentation files.
