From 8064887e02fd684fa0576cbbcdbc29ceab125c4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Agner Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 00:03:52 +0200 Subject: ARM: vf610: enable Cortex-M4 configuration on Vybrid SoC This patch allows to build the Kernel for Vybrid (VF6xx) SoC when ARMv7-M CPU is selected. The resulting image runs on the secondary Cortex-M4 core. This core has equally access to all peripherals as the main Cortex-A5 core. However, there is no resource control mechanism, hence when both cores are used simultaneously, orthogonal device tree's are required. The boot CPU is dependent on the SoC variant. The available boards use mostly variants where the Cortex-A5 is the primary and hence the boot CPU. Booting the secondary Cortex-M4 CPU needs SoC specific registers written. There is no in kernel support for this right now, a external userspace utility called "m4boot" can be used to boot the kernel: m4boot xipImage initramfs.cpio.lzo vf610m4-colibri.dtb Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann --- arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile.boot | 0 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile.boot (limited to 'arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile.boot') diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile.boot b/arch/arm/mach-imx/Makefile.boot new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..e69de29bb2d1 -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
