Use perl to create the version information (thereby re-creating the perl dependency and adding an svn dependency) but fall back in case of missing perl or svn
Retire rbt2c.pl, instead use objcopy to directly convert the .bit file into an .o that can be linked with the flash image
Rename armsrc/fpga.c to armsrc/fpgaloader.c (since there is now a new fpga.o, created from fpga.bit)
Remove fpgaimg.c from subversion, add fpga.bit
Instead of creating fpgaimage.elf and osimage.elf separately, now create a joined fullimage.elf
first (obsoleting ldscript-full), then extract only the fpga and os sections with objcopy
(This creates unspecific warnings about an empty segment, need to investigate)
Implement a rudimentary .bit parser in the firmware, use that to locate the bitstream in the new
fpgaimage (which is just a plain copy of the fpga.bit file) and send it to the FPGA
The code will check the format that's in flash and fall back to the legacy format
Remove the now unnecessary files (merge-srec.pl, ldscript-ram-jtag)
Note that this drops the dependency on perl for bootrom build, so end-users who don't touch the FPGA bitstream will not need perl anymore
+ Needs GNU make for Windows, a new release of the Windows development environment will follow
+ Is based on the Windows Makefile, so will build everything in Thumb mode, doesn't have flash commands (yet)
I have a problem with CRC though: sometimes it works, sometimes not, I have no
clue why, I must be doing something wrong with the CRC calculation routine...
It is identical to the popular 20081211, with the doob addition (20090301), a
linux client, and two additional commands for LF analysis. Let me know if
you find issues here!
