[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] [PATCH v2 1/1] configs/stm32f469_disco_xip_defconfig: alternative defconfig for XIP

Wed Aug 25 18:18:57 UTC 2021


Result of make tinyconfig was taken as a starting point to fit kernel
into flash memory.
Current setup kernel + rootfs fits in 1.6MB on-chip flash memory.

Fixes:
    - Move kernel to new flash bank due to growth of dtb size
    - Fix kernel start address in bootloader

For better binary size optimization gcc LTO is turned on.

----
v1 -> v2:
- Change codestyle in bash scripts
- Use in-tree dts with config fragment
- Update readme.txt
- Remove unnecessary target and host packages from defconfig

+
+As of GNU/Linux v5.12 kernel device tree binary grows above 0x08008000
+and overwrites kernel binary
+Therefore this commit moves kernel to the next flash bank

 This tutorial describes how to use the predefined Buildroot
 configuration for the STM32F469 Discovery evaluation platform.
 
+There are two setups supported:
+1. Internal flash memory is fully occupied with u-boot bootloader which boots kernel with
+   root filesystem from MMC.
+2. Internal flash memory stores simple afboot-stm32 bootloader, device tree and
+   in place (XIP) kernel with built-in initramfs.
+   Kernel is based on tinyconfig.

 Building
 --------

-  make stm32f469_disco_defconfig
