2013-07-10ARMv7: De-uboot-ify Exynos5250 codeStefan Reinauer
When starting the Exynos5250 port, a lot of unneeded u-boot code was imported. This is an attempt to get rid of a lot of unneeded code before the port is used as a basis for further ARM ports. There is a lot more that can be done, including cleaning up the 5250's Kconfig file.

2013-04-17armv7/exynos5250: Deprecate sdelay in favor of udelayDavid Hendricks
This gets rid of the clock-tick based sdelay in favor of udelay(). udelay() is more consistent and easier to work with, and this allows us to carry one less variation of timers (and headers and sources...). Every 1 unit in the sdelay() argument was assumed to cause a delay of 2 clock ticks (@1.7GHz). So the conversion factor is roughly: sdelay(N) = udelay(((N * 2) / 1.7 * 10^9) * 10^6) = udelay((N * 2) / (1.7 * 10^3)) The sdelay() periods used were: sdelay(100) --> udelay(1) sdelay(0x10000) --> udelay(78) (rounded up to udelay(100)) There was one instance of sdelay(10000), which looked like sort of a typo since sdelay(0x10000) was used elsewhere. sdelay(10000) should approximate to about 12us, so we'll stick with that for now and leave a note.

2013-02-20ARMV7: minor tweaks to inter-stage calling and payload handling.Ronald G. Minnich
Payloads, by design, can return. There's lots of mechanism in the payload code to support it, and the chooser payload relies on it. Hence, we should not mark the function call in exit_stage as noreturn. Not all ARM have unified caches, and it's not always easy to tell what to do. So we are very paranoid. Before we call between stages, we should carefully flush the dcache to memory and invalidate the icache. This may be more than is necessary on all architectures but it doesn't really hurt for the most part. So compile cache management code into all stages, and call the flush dcache/invalidate icache from all stages. Change-Id: Ib9cc625c4dfd2d7d4b3c69a74686cc655a9d6484 Signed-off-by: Ronald G.

2013-02-12armv7: Add emulation/qemu-armv7 board.Hung-Te Lin
To simplify testing ARM implementation, we need a QEMU configuration for ARM. The qemu-armv7 provides serial output, CBFS simulation, and full boot path (bootblock, romstage, ramstage) to verify the boot loader functionality. To run with QEMU: export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 1024M -nographic -kernel build/coreboot.rom Verified to boot until ramstage loaded successfully by QEMU v1.0.50.
