bootstd: Add Android support
Android boot flow is a bit different than a regular Linux distro. Android relies on multiple partitions in order to boot. A typical boot flow would be: 1. Parse the Bootloader Control Block (BCB, misc partition) 2. If BCB requested bootonce-bootloader, start fastboot and wait. 3. If BCB requested recovery or normal android, run the following: a. Get slot (A/B) from BCB b. Run AVB (Android Verified Boot) on boot partitions c. Load boot and vendor_boot partitions d. Load device-tree, ramdisk and boot The AOSP documentation has more details at [1], [2], [3] This has been implemented via complex boot scripts such as [4]. However, these boot script are neither very maintainable nor generic. Moreover, DISTRO_DEFAULTS is being deprecated [5]. Add a generic Android bootflow implementation for bootstd. For this initial version, only boot image v4 is supported. This has been tested on sandbox using: $ ./test/py/test.py --bd sandbox --build -k test_ut This has also been tested on the AM62X SK EVM using TI's Android SDK[6] To test on TI board, the following (WIP) patch is needed as well: 84cceb91 [1] https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/bootloader [2] https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/partitions [3] https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/partitions/generic-boot [4] https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/include/configs/meson64_android.h [5] https://lore.kernel.org/r/all/20230914165615.1058529-17-sjg@chromium.org/ [6] https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-android/esd/AM62X/09_02_00/docs/android/Overview.html To: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Cc: Julien Masson <jmasson@baylibre.com> Cc: Guillaume La Roque <glaroque@baylibre.com> Cc: Dmitrii Merkurev <dimorinny@google.com> Cc: Roman Stratiienko <r.stratiienko@gmail.com> Cc: Igor Opaniuk <igor.opaniuk@gmail.com> Cc: u-boot@lists.denx.de Signed-off-by:Mattijs Korpershoek <mkorpershoek@baylibre.com> --- Changes in v3: - Fixed CI issues (Tom): * Generate bootv4.img and vendor_boot.img in test_ut.py * Mark CONFIG_BOOTMETH_ANDROID dependent on CONFIG_CMDLINE * Make bootflow_android() test dependent on CONFIG_BOOTMETH_ANDROID Because of the above changes, I've removed the reviewers on patch 5/5 - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240613-bootmeth-android-v2-0-397f6e66eb29@baylibre.com Changes in v2: - Dropped patch 2/6 boot: android: Add image_android_get_version() (Igor) - Fixed multi-line comment style (Igor, Simon) - Added dependency on CMD_FASTBOOT for BOOTMETH_ANDROID (Igor) - Fixed various resource leaks (Igor) - Fixed bootmeth_priv dangling pointer on error cases (Igor) - Updated test instructions in commit message for patch 6/6 - Added __weak impl of get_avendor_bootimg_addr() in patch 1 (dropped Igor's review because of this change) - Added extra info in Kconfig to detail MMC limitation (Simon) - Fixed typo Bootmethod->Bootmeth (Simon) - Documented android_priv structure (Simon) - Demoted various messages from printf() to log_debug (Simon) - Fixed some lines too long (Simon) - Added function documentation to read_slotted_partition() (Simon) - Added some doc about avb extra_args being modified (Simon) - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240606-bootmeth-android-v1-0-0c69d4457cc5@baylibre.com --- b4-submit-tracking --- # This section is used internally by b4 prep for tracking purposes. { "series": { "revision": 3, "change-id": "20240605-bootmeth-android-bfc8596e9367", "prefixes": [], "history": { "v1": [ "20240606-bootmeth-android-v1-0-0c69d4457cc5@baylibre.com" ], "v2": [ "20240613-bootmeth-android-v2-0-397f6e66eb29@baylibre.com" ] } } }
