Screenshots of the recovery menu will be useful for documentation.
This can be disabled by turning off HAVE_BOOTLOADER_SCREENDUMP in
the target config file if the bootloader should ever run up against
max size limits.

Bad blocks in a kernel flash partition seem to be handled by skipping
ahead to the next block; this is a common bad block management scheme
for simple software like bootloaders (and is the default method for
reading NAND partitions in u-boot).
Extend the uImage flash reader to skip bad blocks while reading.

Add a debug menu to invoke two new actions, dumping the OF kernel
and recovery images from flash to the SD card.

The M3K's kernel has an incredibly stupid function that mangles the
kernel args and copies them to a 100-byte buffer without any kind of
bounds checking. So, if the kernel arguments are more than 99 chars
the stack may be corrupted, sometimes crashing the kernel.
Fortunately, most of the arguments the OF uses are useless, and the
truly necessary arguments fit within the absurd 99-char limit.

Basically, there's longstanding bug in Linux with self-extracting
kernels on MIPS which just happened to manifest now on the M3K as
a hang on boot. The fix is applied to the M3K and Q1 since they
both use this type of kernel image.

This adds a *very basic* Linux loader to the Rockbox bootloader,
which allows running a mainline Linux kernel using the following
file layout on the SD card:
- /uImage
- /linux_cmdline.txt
The command line arguments are listed in linux_cmdline.txt, all
lines are concatenated together and whitespace is converted into
spaces. Comments aren't supported however.
The loader doesn't support the modern devicetree boot protocol,
so it can only pass command line arguments. It would be easy to
support an appended dtb though.
Change-Id: I373f465dbbdafe94738f619748cbb0278fc2c25f
Adds the ability to boot the OF's player or recovery kernels
from the bootloader. Works on Shanling Q1 but broken on the
FiiO M3K (kernel hang) so leave it disabled for the M3K.

- Remove unused redefinitions of screen_dump() from bootloaders
- Use empty do-while when screendump is compiled out
Change-Id: I3ccdb0390ddaa28d8f561ff744d0db6aaef17f5d
Adds loaders for uImages on the SD card or on a raw flash partition.
These work similarily to load_rockbox() and return a buflib alloc
and size. Booting the image is left up to the caller.

Separate loading out into its own routine with a file name
parameter in preparation for multiboot support.

Now that everything has been refactored into separate files the
main routine is the only thing left to move. Put it in main.c.

Drop init_usb(), instead initialize USB early in the main function
so the hardware is placed into a known good state after a USB boot.
The impact on boot time should be minimal.
Change-Id: I9774ddfc2c27811363bdb0c54cb0e57b5ca59d73
Add check_disk() to query the disk insertion status and prompt the
user if necessary. Use this in place of init_disk().
Perform an unconditional disk_mount_all() from the main function.

Using the audio buffer directly is a bad idea because this will
render core_alloc non-functional if load_firmware() writes into
the buffer but then fails, for example on a checksum mismatch.

This problem actually had nothing to do with USB boot; it's
because the cable is plugged in when the USB mode menu item
is selected. The USB thread detected the select button press
and went into charge-only mode (as it usually does when you
hold down a key in Rockbox). This is fixed by having the USB
thread ignore most keys in the bootloader.
USB connect events are delivered via the button queue, and
there were also cases where the connection could be missed
if the event happened within another UI screen. This should
also be fixed.

there is a 1MB free region that is used to load the firmware but we
shouldn't need that till after a USB connection
so here is my 2nd try
Change-Id: I2552db3a7fba019d7e7188984432f758ddafe548
* Power button is what forces entry into USB mode
(can't use the other buttons due to the long SADC warmup)
* Inching closer to working USB disk mode (starts then disconnects!
Change-Id: I45ff1c61f39e0e0c3615b38278f5c91b6ef2ed6c
* Rework the LCD initialization a bit
* Power off after 5 seconds if we hit a fatal error
* Turn on verbose output if PLAY is held down on powerup
* Minor code style cleanups
The goal is to not perform the LCD init unless it's needed; ie
only if we run into an error or enter USB mode.
Change-Id: I3f93e881ff55d104f453985ed452f35b433a7d99
* Explicitly clear the caches prior to launching the binary
* Ensure the function that launches the binary is in iram
* Re-sequenced some of the subsystem initializations
* Fixes for USB mode

What works:
- LCD: 16-bit RGB565
- all buttons, including scrollwheel
- SD Card
- Battery level and charging/not charging status
- USB
- audio
- sample rate switching
- HP / LO detect, with "safe" fixed LO volume -
LO volume will only be put to user-defined max volume
if headphones are not present.
- rtc
- Plugins build, tried a couple and they seem OK
- Bootloader, installable to nand via usbboot
What doesn't work:
- Dual Boot
- power on/off has intermittent, low volume audio click
(sometimes it's completely silent, sometimes there's
a click)
- Audio uses 16-bit volume scaling, so clicking/popping
is pretty bad at lower volumes - need 32 bit volume
scaling, 24 bit I2S data
- USB HID keys not yet defined
- no jztool support
Unknowns:
- Stereo Switch pins: Direction select, AC_DC
(probably not even hooked up)
- What is the actual purpose of the Stereo Swtich?
- How does the bluetooth module connect?
"Someday" stuff:
- get LCD working at higher bit depth
- Bluetooth

- Audio playback works
- Touchscreen and buttons work
- Bootloader works and is capable of dual boot
- Plugins are working
- Cabbiev2 theme has been ported
- Stable for general usage
Thanks to Marc Aarts for porting Cabbiev2 and plugin bitmaps.
There's a few minor known issues:
- Bootloader must be installed manually using 'usbboot' as there is
no support in jztool yet.
- Keymaps may be lacking, need further testing and feedback.
- Some plugins may not be fully adapted to the screen size and could
benefit from further tweaking.
- LCD shows abnormal effects under some circumstances: for example,
after viewing a mostly black screen an afterimage appears briefly
when going back to a brightly-lit screen. Sudden power-off without
proper shutdown of the backlight causes a "dissolving" effect.
- CW2015 battery reporting driver is buggy, and disabled for now.
Battery reporting is currently voltage-based using the AXP192.

This streamlines the boot code a bit and reduces target specific
boilerplate. The clock init hack used by the bootloader has been
"standardized" and works for the main Rockbox binary now, so you
can boot rockbox.bin over USB without special hacks.

This uses an equivalent algorithm but with a different initial value
than we normally use (all bits off vs all bits on). Use the new crc_32r
to replace the original MI4 crc32 implementation.
This frees up some extra space on mi4 targets which gives us more
room on a few very space constrained targets (sansa c200/e200, etc).

Port USB driver from Sansa Connect Linux kernel sources. The device
successfully enumerates and responds to SCSI commands but actual disk

Clearing recoverzap parameter exists the Recovery Mode. This makes it
possible to run Rockbox on Sansa Connect without relying on original
Linux firmware.
Enable write-through cache on flash memory as write-back complicates
handling without any real benefits. The flash memory accepts commands
as series of writes at predefined addresses, so it is important that
the cache does not interfere with the writes.

SPL and UCL-compressed bootloader are now packed into one output,
bootloader.m3k, eliminating the separate SPL build phase.
The Rockbox bootloader now has a recovery menu, accessible by
holding VOL+ when booting, that lets you back up, restore, and
update the bootloader from the device.

they are not worth trying to fix.
