Raspberry Pi 2
##############

-  http://raspberrypi.org

Hardware Information
====================

-  ARMv7 Architecture
-  Broadcom BCM2836 (SoC)

   -  Includes Quad ARM Cortex-A7 CPU @ 900 MHz
   -  Includes VideoCore IV GPU

-  SD Card Storage
-  1 GB RAM
-  Video Outputs

   -  HDMI Video Output
   -  Composite Video Output

-  Ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s
-  4x USB 2.0

Setting up the Haiku SD card
============================

The Raspberry Pi SD card generally uses the MBR file system layout
below. Partition 1 is all that is required to boot an OS.

-  partition 1 – FAT32, bootable flag, type β€˜c’
-  partition 2 – BeFS, Haiku filesystem, type β€˜eb’

Boot Partition
--------------

Required Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  bootcode.bin: 2nd stage bootloader
-  start.elf: The GPU binary firmware image
-  fixup.dat: Additional code for the GPU
-  bcm2709-rpi-2-b.dtb: FDT binary for the Raspberry Pi 2B
-  bcm2710-rpi-2-b.dtb: FDT binary for the Raspberry Pi 2B rev 1.2
-  config.txt: A configuration file read by the Pi to start u-boot.bin
-  u-boot.bin: u-boot loader for the Pi 2
-  haiku_loader_linux.ub: Haiku Loader
-  haiku-floppyboot.tgz.ub: Compressed initial ram image with Haiku
   kernel

Optional Files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  vlls directory: Additional GPU code, e.g.Β extra codecs.
-  uEnv.txt: u-boot configuration script to automate boot.

Compiling
=========

-  Create your ARM work directory
   ``mkdir generated.arm; cd generated.arm``
-  Build an ARM toolchain using
   ``../configure --build-cross-tools arm ../../buildtools --target-board=rpi2``
-  Build our loader using ``jam -q haiku_loader_linux.ub``
-  Build our initial ram disk using ``jam -q haiku-floppyboot.tgz.ub``

Booting
=======

1. SOC finds bootcode.bin
2. bootcode.bin runs start.elf
3. start.elf reads config.txt and start u-boot
4. u-boot.bin starts the Haiku loader
5. Haiku loader boots Haiku kernel

config.txt Options
------------------

::

   kernel=u-boot.bin

u-boot startup
--------------

These will be condensed and automated long-term via uEnv.txt :-)

-  ``fatload mmc 0 ${fdt_addr_r} bcm2836-rpi-2-b.dtb``
-  ``fdt addr ${fdt_addr_r}``
-  ``fatload mmc 0 ${ramdisk_addr_r} haiku-floppyboot.tgz.ub``
-  ``fatload mmc 0 ${kernel_addr_r} haiku_loader_linux.ub``
-  ``bootm ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}``
