2008-02-14[POWERPC] PS3: Fix bootwrapper hang bugGeoff Levand
Fix a bug in the lv1_get_repository_node_value() routine of the PS3 bootwrapper. Changes in the PS3 system firmware 2.20 cause this bug to hang the system when branching from the bootwrapper to the kernel _start. Since the video system has not yet been enabled at the time the bug is hit, the system hangs with a blank screen. Earlier firmwares don't cause such a catastrophic failure, and so this bug went undetected. Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-07-21PS3: Fix build with 32-bit toolchainsGeoff Levand
The PS3 bootwrapper files use instructions only available on 64-bit CPUs. Add the code generation directive '.machine "ppc64"' for toolchains configured for 32-bit CPUs.

2007-07-10[POWERPC] PS3: Bootwrapper support.Geoff Levand
Add support to build the PS3 flash rom image and remove some unneeded lmb calls. The PS3's lv1 loader supports loading gzipped binary images from flash rom to addr zero. The loader enters the image at addr 0x100. In this implementation a bootwrapper overlay is use to arrange for the kernel to be loaded to addr zero and to have a suitable bootwrapper entry at 0x100. To construct the rom image, 0x100 bytes from offset 0x100 in the kernel is copied to the bootwrapper symbol __system_reset_kernel. The 0x100 bytes at the bootwrapper symbol __system_reset_overlay is then copied to offset 0x100. At runtime the bootwrapper program copies the 0x100 bytes at __system_reset_kernel to addr 0x100. zImage.ps3 is a wrapped image that contains a flat device tree, an lv1 compatible entry point, and an optional initrd. otheros.bld is the gzip compresed rom image built from zImage.ps3. otheros.bld is suitable for programming into the PS3 boot flash memory.
