One limitation of FIT is that all the data is 'inline' within it, using a
'data' property in each image node. This means that to find out what is in
the FIT it is necessary to scan the entire file. Once loaded it can be
scanned and then the images can be copied to the correct place in memory.
In SPL it can take a significant amount of time to copy images around in
memory. Also loading data that does not end up being used is wasteful. It
would be useful if the FIT were small, acting as a directory, with the
actual data stored elsewhere.
This allows SPL to load the entire FIT, without the images, then load the
images it wants later.
Add a -E option to mkimage to request that it output an 'external' FIT.

1. About this
This document describes the information about Xilinx Zynq U-Boot -
like supported boards, ML status and TODO list.
2. Zynq boards
Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoCs enable extensive system level
differentiation, integration, and flexibility through hardware, software,
and I/O programmability.
* zc702 (single qspi, gem0, mmc) [1]
* zc706 (dual parallel qspi, gem0, mmc) [2]
* zed (single qspi, gem0, mmc) [3]
* microzed (single qspi, gem0, mmc) [4]
* zc770
- zc770-xm010 (single qspi, gem0, mmc)
- zc770-xm011 (8 or 16 bit nand)
- zc770-xm012 (nor)
- zc770-xm013 (dual parallel qspi, gem1)
3. Building
ex. configure and build for zc702 board
$ make zynq_zc702_config
$ make
4. Bootmode
Zynq has a facility to read the bootmode from the slcr bootmode register
once user is setting through jumpers on the board - see page no:1546 on [5]
All possible bootmode values are defined in Table 6-2:Boot_Mode MIO Pins
on [5].
board_late_init() will read the bootmode values using slcr bootmode register
at runtime and assign the modeboot variable to specific bootmode string which
is intern used in autoboot.
SLCR bootmode register Bit[3:0] values
#define ZYNQ_BM_NOR 0x02
#define ZYNQ_BM_SD 0x05
#define ZYNQ_BM_JTAG 0x0
"modeboot" variable can assign any of "norboot", "sdboot" or "jtagboot"
bootmode strings at runtime.
5. Mainline status
- Added basic board configurations support.
- Added zynq u-boot bsp code - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/zynq
- Added zynq boards named - zc70x, zed, microzed, zc770_xm010, zc770_xm012, zc770_xm013
- Added zynq drivers:
serial - drivers/serial/serial_zynq.c
net - drivers/net/zynq_gem.c
mmc - drivers/mmc/zynq_sdhci.c
mmc - drivers/mmc/zynq_sdhci.c
spi- drivers/spi/zynq_spi.c
i2c - drivers/i2c/zynq_i2c.c
- Done proper cleanups on board configurations
- Added basic FDT support for zynq boards
- d-cache support for zynq_gem.c
6. TODO
- Add zynq boards support - zc770_xm011
- Add zynq qspi controller driver
- Add zynq nand controller driver
- Add FDT support on individual drivers
