The boot loader must load a device tree image (dtb) into system ram
at a 64bit aligned address and initialize it with the boot data. The
dtb format is documented in Documentation/devicetree/booting-without-of.txt.
The kernel will look for the dtb magic value of 0xd00dfeed at the dtb

tagged list.
The boot loader must pass at a minimum the size and location of the
system memory, and the root filesystem location. The dtb must be
placed in a region of memory where the kernel decompressor will not
overwrite it. The recommended placement is in the first 16KiB of RAM

32-bit embedded kernels:
Currently, board support is essentially an exclusive config option.
The kernel is configured for a single platform. Part of the reason
for this is to keep kernels on embedded systems small and efficient;
part of this is due to the fact the code is already that way. In the
future, a kernel may support multiple platforms, but only if the
A kernel image may support multiple platforms, but only if the
platforms feature the same core architecture. A single kernel build
cannot support both configurations with Book E and configurations
with classic Powerpc architectures.
32-bit embedded platforms that are moved into arch/powerpc using a
flattened device tree should adopt the merged tree practice of
setting ppc_md up dynamically, even though the kernel is currently
built with support for only a single platform at a time. This allows
unification of the setup code, and will make it easier to go to a
multiple-platform-support model in the future.
2) Entry point for arch/arm
---------------------------
There is one single entry point to the kernel, at the start
of the kernel image. That entry point supports two calling
conventions. A summary of the interface is described here. A full
description of the boot requirements is documented in
Documentation/arm/Booting
a) ATAGS interface. Minimal information is passed from firmware
to the kernel with a tagged list of predefined parameters.
r0 : 0
r1 : Machine type number
NOTE: I believe the above will be true once Ben's done with the merge
of the boot sequences.... someone speak up if this is wrong!
r2 : Physical address of tagged list in system RAM
To add a 32-bit embedded platform support, follow the instructions
for 64-bit platforms above, with the exception that the Kconfig
option should be set up such that the kernel builds exclusively for
the platform selected. The processor type for the platform should
enable another config option to select the specific board
supported.
b) Entry with a flattened device-tree block. Firmware loads the
physical address of the flattened device tree block (dtb) into r2,
r1 is not used, but it is considered good practise to use a valid
machine number as described in Documentation/arm/Booting.
NOTE: If Ben doesn't merge the setup files, may need to change this to
point to setup_32.c
r0 : 0
r1 : Valid machine type number. When using a device tree,
a single machine type number will often be assigned to
represent a class or family of SoCs.
I will describe later the boot process and various callbacks that
your platform should implement.
r2 : physical pointer to the device-tree block
(defined in chapter II) in RAM. Device tree can be located
anywhere in system RAM, but it should be aligned on a 32 bit
boundary.
The kernel will differentiate between ATAGS and device tree booting by
reading the memory pointed to by r1 and looking for either the flattened
device tree block magic value (0xd00dfeed) or the ATAG_CORE value at
offset 0x4 from r2 (0x54410001).
