The end result is all these custom partitions we had before all just get folded into the one boot partition.

As I explained it in my commit message: We are using "hole" partition instead of specifying "start" property to "uenv" partition, because this way it's easier to maintain change of preceding partitions. >> - rename "reserved" to "uenv" (because it hold U-Boot environment) > > This is fine. > >> - rename "environment" to "dtb" (because it actually holds .dtb file) > > > We are working to move to FIT with our Android releases, so the > "boot.img" image will now be a FIT image that contains kernel, dtb, > dtbo, op-tee, ipu, ipu2, etc... > > The end result is all these custom partitions we had before all just get > folded into the one boot partition. > As I understand, it's not completely our shot. If Google says it's mandatory to use DT image format, we will use it. That's why I implemented this patch series. Please discuss it with Praneeth, some of us obviously is not on the same page with others... For now we are going to add DT image format support, and once we have confirmation from Google, we can choose which one to prefer in upstream. But having support of this format won't hurt anyone, especially knowing that Google recommends this format in their documentation. > Andrew > > >> - move "dtb" after "uenv" (so that changes of dtb size won't affect >> "uenv" offset) >> - make "hole" size twice as bigger (to keep "uenv" offset the same, >> because "dtb" was moved after "uenv") >> - add "dtbo" partition (after "dtb", to not affect "uenv" offset) >> - while at it, increase "boot" partition size up to 20 MiB; that's >> needed because while playing with some additional drivers built-in >> and different compression techniques, and also for HS signing, we >> have seen the boot partition size reach close to border and >> sometimes reach over the limit of 10 MiB >> >> Now eMMC layout looks like this: >> >> offset content size partition >> (KiB) (KiB) >> >> =============================================================== >> >> 0 +------------------------+ >> | MBR/GPT header | 128 - >> 128 +------------------------+ >> | MLO | 256 xloader >> 384 +------------------------+ >> | u-boot.img | 1792 bootloader >> 2176 +------------------------+ >> | //////// hole //////// | 256 hole >> 2432 +------------------------+ >> | U-Boot environment | 256 uenv >> | (+ redundant) | >> 2688 +------------------------+ >> | dtb files | 1024 dtb >> 3712 +------------------------+ >> | dtbo files | 1024 dtbo >> 4736 +------------------------+ >> Android partitions remaining * >> >> =============================================================== >> >> "hole" partition is needed just to keep U-Boot environment at 2432 KiB >> offset, because: >> - this offset is used in DFU_ALT_INFO_EMMC: >> >> "u-env.raw raw 0x1300 0x200;" >> 0x1300 = 4864 sectors = 2432 KiB >> >> - which in turn relies on CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: >> >> CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET = 0x260000 = 2432 KiB >> >> We are using "hole" partition instead of specifying "start" property to >> "uenv" partition, because this way it's easier to maintain change of >> preceding partitions. >> >> Also fix Android boot commands appropriately. >> >> [1] https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/dto/partitions >> >> Signed-off-by: Sam Protsenko <semen.protsenko@linaro.org> >> --- >> include/environment/ti/boot.h | 13 +++++++------ >> 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/include/environment/ti/boot.h b/include/environment/ti/boot.h >> index 4f3d748b5c..f2d91f5298 100644 >> --- a/include/environment/ti/boot.h >> +++ b/include/environment/ti/boot.h >> @@ -26,13 +26,14 @@ >> "uuid_disk=${uuid_gpt_disk};" \ >> "name=xloader,start=128K,size=256K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_xloader};" \ >> "name=bootloader,size=1792K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_bootloader};" \ >> - "name=environment,size=128K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_environment};" \ >> - "name=misc,size=128K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_misc};" \ >> - "name=reserved,size=256K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_reserved};" \ >> + "name=hole,size=256K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_hole};" \ >> + "name=uenv,size=256K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_uenv};" \ >> + "name=dtb,size=1M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_dtb};" \ >> + "name=dtbo,size=1M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_dtbo};" \ >> "name=efs,size=16M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_efs};" \ >> "name=crypto,size=16K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_crypto};" \ >> "name=recovery,size=40M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_recovery};" \ >> - "name=boot,size=10M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_boot};" \ >> + "name=boot,size=20M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_boot};" \ >> "name=system,size=768M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_system};" \ >> "name=vendor,size=256M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_vendor};" \ >> "name=cache,size=256M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_cache};" \ >> @@ -66,8 +67,8 @@ >> "setenv machid fe6; " \ >> "mmc dev $mmcdev; " \ >> "mmc rescan; " \ >> - "part start mmc ${mmcdev} environment fdt_start; " \ >> - "part size mmc ${mmcdev} environment fdt_size; " \ >> + "part start mmc ${mmcdev} dtb fdt_start; " \ >> + "part size mmc ${mmcdev} dtb fdt_size; " \ >> "part start mmc ${mmcdev} boot boot_start; " \ >> "part size mmc ${mmcdev} boot boot_size; " \ >> "mmc read ${fdtaddr} ${fdt_start} ${fdt_size}; " \ >>

New Android boot scheme looks like this [1], and it involves adding new partition for storing Device Tree Overlays. This patch adds dtbo partition. While at it, let's revise Android partition table a bit. List of changes: - rename "misc" to "hole" (not used for anything, just a guard hole) - rename "reserved" to "uenv" (because it hold U-Boot environment) - rename "environment" to "dtb" (because it actually holds .dtb file) - move "dtb" after "uenv" (so that changes of dtb size won't affect "uenv" offset) - make "hole" size twice as bigger (to keep "uenv" offset the same, because "dtb" was moved after "uenv") - add "dtbo" partition (after "dtb", to not affect "uenv" offset) - while at it, increase "boot" partition size up to 20 MiB; that's needed because while playing with some additional drivers built-in and different compression techniques, and also for HS signing, we have seen the boot partition size reach close to border and sometimes reach over the limit of 10 MiB Now eMMC layout looks like this: offset content size partition (KiB) (KiB) =============================================================== 0 +------------------------+ | MBR/GPT header | 128 - 128 +------------------------+ | MLO | 256 xloader 384 +------------------------+ | u-boot.img | 1792 bootloader 2176 +------------------------+ | //////// hole //////// | 256 hole 2432 +------------------------+ | U-Boot environment | 256 uenv | (+ redundant) | 2688 +------------------------+ | dtb files | 1024 dtb 3712 +------------------------+ | dtbo files | 1024 dtbo 4736 +------------------------+ Android partitions remaining * =============================================================== "hole" partition is needed just to keep U-Boot environment at 2432 KiB offset, because: - this offset is used in DFU_ALT_INFO_EMMC: "u-env.raw raw 0x1300 0x200;" 0x1300 = 4864 sectors = 2432 KiB - which in turn relies on CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET = 0x260000 = 2432 KiB We are using "hole" partition instead of specifying "start" property to "uenv" partition, because this way it's easier to maintain change of preceding partitions.
