Booting from On-Chip ROM (eSDHC or eSPI)
----------------------------------------

boot_format is a tool to write SD bootable images to a filesystem and build
SD/SPI images to a binary file for writing later.

When booting from an SD card/MMC, boot_format puts the configuration file and
the RAM-based U-Boot image on the card.
When booting from an EEPROM, boot_format generates a binary image that is used
to boot from this EEPROM.

Where to get boot_format:
========================

you can browse it online at:
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-yocto-sdk/boot-format

Building
========

Run the following to build this project

	$ make

Execution
=========

boot_format runs under a regular Linux machine and requires a super user mode
to run. Execute boot_format as follows.

For building SD images by writing directly to a file system on SD media:

	$ boot_format $config u-boot.bin -sd $device

Where $config is the included config.dat file for your platform and $device
is the target block device for the SD media on your computer.

For build binary images directly a local file:

	$ boot_format $config u-boot.bin -spi $file

Where $file is the target file. Also keep in mind the u-boot.bin file needs
to be the u-boot built for your particular platform and target media.

Example: To generate a u-boot.bin for a P1022DS booting from SD, run the
following in the u-boot repository:

	$ make P1022DS_SDCARD

Configuration Files
===================

Below are the configuration files to be used with a particular platform. Keep
in mind that some of these config files are tied to the platforms DDR speed.
Please see the SoC reference manual for more documentation.
