+config SPL_STACK_R

+ help
+ SPL starts off execution in SRAM and thus typically has only a small
+ stack available. Since SPL sets up DRAM while in its board_init_f()
+ function, it is possible for the stack to move there before
+ board_init_r() is reached. This option enables a special SDRAM
+ location for the SPL stack. U-Boot SPL switches to this after
+ board_init_f() completes, and before board_init_r() starts.
+
+config SPL_STACK_R_ADDR
+ depends on SPL_STACK_R
+ hex "SDRAM location for SPL stack"
+ help
+ Specify the address in SDRAM for the SPL stack. This will be set up
+ before board_init_r() is called.

+Board Initialisation Flow:
+--------------------------
+
+This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
+SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
+mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
+function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
+At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
+
+Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
+that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
+
+lowlevel_init():
+ - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
+ - no global_data or BSS
+ - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
+ - must not set up SDRAM or use console
+ - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
+ board_init_f()
+ - this is almost never needed
+ - return normally from this function
+
+board_init_f():
+ - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
+ i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
+ - global_data is available
+ - stack is in SRAM
+ - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
+ only stack variables and global_data
+
+ Non-SPL-specific notes:
+ - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
+ can do nothing
+
+ SPL-specific notes:
+ - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
+ version as needed.
+ - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
+ - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
+ - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
+ - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
+ directly)
+
+Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
+this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
+CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
+memory.
+
+board_init_r():
+ - purpose: main execution, common code
+ - global_data is available
+ - SDRAM is available
+ - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
+ - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
+
+ Non-SPL-specific notes:
+ - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
+ there.
+
+ SPL-specific notes:
+ - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
+ CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
+ - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
+ done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
+ spl_board_init() function containing this call
+ - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
