Dobrica Pavlinušić's random unstructured stuff
Exynos: Revision 7

Spin-off from Chromebook papge to document running mainline u-boot and Linux on Exynos

u-boot

SPI eeprom image

dpavlin@klin:/klin/u-boot$ cat build-spi.sh 
#!/bin/sh -xe

make
#cp /klin/books/Chromebook/spi/snow-bricked.rom .
cp snow-bricked.rom snow-mix.rom
dd conv=notrunc if=spl/smdk5250-spl.bin of=snow-mix.rom seek=$((0x00002000)) bs=1
dd conv=notrunc if=u-boot.bin of=snow-mix.rom seek=$((0x00006000)) bs=1
scp snow-mix.rom rpi2:chromebook/

Upstream u-boot works, but can't find mmc devices, so internal flash is not accessable, so I had to boot from USB network using u-boot pxe

chromiumos build
