ConfigID management[edit | edit source]

ConfigID is a new feature of DAVE Embedded Systems products. It's main purpose is providing an automatic mechanism for the identification of the product model and configuration.

General information about ConfigID are provided here. The following sections details some Bora/BoraX specific information.

ConfigID hardware implementation on Bora/BoraX/BoraLite[edit | edit source]

BORA uses the first 32bytes OTP block on NOR SPI to store ConfigID (and its CRC32), UniqueID (and its CRC32)

ConfigID on BoraLite[edit | edit source]

For BORA Lite module configured for booting from NAND, the ConfigID is stored on internal I2C EPROM: see here for more information.

ConfigID software implementation on Bora/BoraX/BoraLite[edit | edit source]

U-Boot integrates the software routines for reading and displaying the ConfigID. Hereunder an example of SOM ConfigID at startup:

U-Boot 2014.07 (Jul 24 2015 - 14:30:55) [belk-2.2.0]

Board:  BORA
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  ECC disabled 1 GiB

For accesing these information on Linux procfs, the device tree must be modified (using u-boot fdt command). For example:

zynq-uboot> print loadfdt configid_fixupfdt
loadfdt=tftpboot ${fdtaddr} ${fdtfile}
configid_fixupfdt=if configid checkfdt ${fdtaddr} som_configid ${som_configid#}; then if configid checkfdt ${fdtaddr} cb_configid ${cb_configid#}; then configid fdt_uniqueid ${fdtaddr}; fi; fi

zynq-uboot> run loadfdt configid_fixupfdt

FDT: override 'cb_uniqueid' with 'a600000f:24188b2d'

It is possible to read the ConfigID/UniqueID via procfs. For example:

root@bora:~# for f in  /proc/device-tree/*id*; do echo -n "$f: "; cat $f; echo; done
/proc/device-tree/cb_configid: 00000001
/proc/device-tree/cb_uniqueid: a600000f:24188b2d
/proc/device-tree/som_configid: 00000002
/proc/device-tree/som_uniqueid: fffffefc:fffffefc
