Add Rockchip IDB device for U-boot.
On Rockchip SoCs with a NAND as boot device the information data base (IDB)
loaded
by the boot ROM is stored at the beginning of several erase blocks.
Rewriting NAND blocks makes them wear out, so some spare blocks and a writing
strategy
are required. A closed source usbplug uses block: 2,3,4,5,6 for example.
Block 0 and 1 is in use for other data.
For compatible reasons this device follows this approach in line with other
Rockchip products and modules for now.
The Rockchip boot ROM requires a particular file format for booting from NAND:
It starts with 512-byte (IDB sector 0), RC4 encoded header and is aligned to
NAND page size.
Rockchip fills sector 1,2 and 3 here with more data structures, but that is
not required
by the boot ROM. It just makes it easier to identify the IDB date and version.
Then 2KB pieces (4 x 512 byte sectors) of spl and tpl data aligned to the
NAND page size in a
fixed pattern with empty pages.
Size of spl and tpl must be aligned to 2KB.
Empty NAND pages/sectors not in use should fill with 0xFF padding to increase
NAND durability.
Create a IDB image for the flash tools below with:
#### For RK30 with NAND only ####
printf "RK30" > tplspl.bin
dd if=u-boot-tpl.bin >> tplspl.bin
truncate -s %2048 tplspl.bin
truncate -s %2048 u-boot-spl.bin
./mkimage -v -n rk3066 -T rksd -d ./tplspl.bin:./u-boot-spl.bin out
#### For other Rockchip SoCs with NAND ####
./mkimage -v -n rk3188 -T rksd -d ./u-boot-tpl.bin:./u-boot-spl.bin out
or if more data structures for IDB sector 1, 2 (RC4) and 3 (RC4) are needed
then use a custom
image tool as mainline only has basic support for IDB sector 0.
In order to transfer data from a host (PC) via USB existing methods are used.
This driver creates an GPT EFI block driver to work with the
U-boot commands "rockusb" and "ums".
IDB data is inserted 'on the fly' as if it were a normal disk in blocks with
512 byte.
Changing disk parameters is not allowed.
The IDB device driver looks for block driver sector 64 to start with and
calculates the IDB size.
When the last sector is received it erases a NAND block and writes IDB sectors
to NAND in a pattern.
Written data is verified. If not identical that NAND erase block is freed.
As last thing the remaining IDB blocks are scanned and made available for
reading.
Normal U-boot operation contains 2 steps:
1 - start IDB device
2 - start USB gadget (rockusb or ums)
U-boot IDB commands:
idb start - start IDB device
idb stop - stop IDB blk device
idb info - show IDB device info
Host (PC) tool commands combinations that work:
U-boot linux
rockusb 0 idb 0

Tested with:
MK808 rk3066
Not tested:
nfc type V8, V9
TODO:
Looking for advice on what needs to be done to make it fit for mainline.
Thanks!
This is placed in the mach-rockchip directory,
so we can re-use/combine the source with a usbplug or RK NAND FTL driver
with no MTD frame work bloatware ;) in a Makefile.
IDB header V2
Writing strategy improvement
etc, etc
