imx233: add capability to boot OF or updater instead of Rockbox

2016-12-12T11:03:08+00:00

This commit adds the necessary code in the dualboot stub (bootloader) to
let rockbox control the boot process. In particular, rockbox can now choose
if the next boot will be normal (boot rockbox or OF on magic key), to OF
or to updater.

The intents (to be added in follow-up commits) are:
1) Let the user more easily reboot to the OF. On some targets it is not trivial,
especially in USB mode.
2) Automatically reboot to updater when the user drop firmware.sb at the root
of the drive (currently, the user needs to do that in OF USB mode)
3) Document this OF magic

mkimxboot: remove code for NWZ-370/380

2016-05-25T22:29:04+00:00

Since the stub code is shared with NWZ-360, it enables the pullup for the
hold button, but the NWZ-370/380 doesn't have a hold button so don't compile
this code in, it could potentially have unexpected effets or increase consumption

mkimxboot: tool can now recreate a stub to recover from very low battery

2014-01-21T18:01:34+00:00

Several devices, including the Fuze+ have great trouble recovering from
very low battery states, even in the presence of USB power. This is partly
due to buggy Sigmatel boot stubs and Rockbox bootloader doing unsafe power
operations on boot (should be fixed soon).  In such a state, it is impossible
to boot either the OF and Rockbox, so only the recovery mode is available.
With this commit, mkimxboot can now create a very small stub which only
does one thing but does it well: setup charging to recover from any situation.
It does not provide a fancy charging screen or whatever, screen will just
stay black and the device will slowly charge at ~100mA. When the battery is
back to a normal level, just unplug and boot normally.

sonynwz: rework dualboot mechanism

2013-09-26T18:19:30+00:00

Now boot to RB if play/pause is pressed during 1 second, and to OF if
back is pressed 1 second. Otherwise power off. If hold is on, also power
off. In USB and alarm context, always boot and back determines OF vs RB.

mkimxboot: rewrite dualboot

2013-07-07T15:36:21+00:00

Rewrite dualboot in C code instead of assembly. Also properly
handle subtarget and simply Makefile. This should make the
dualboot stub more readable and easier to extend. The new code
also gracefully handles power up from RTC alarm on imx233.

zenxfi2: rework dualboot

2013-01-28T19:15:38+00:00

The previous dualboot scheme had a major flow: it needed to hold
menu to boot OF but the X-Fi2 boot in recovery mode with menu!
It was possible but very trick to enter the OF with USB plugged.
This code provides a new scheme:
- no USB plugged: boot to OF when menu is pressed
- USB plugged: boot to OF when power is pressed
