################################################################################# # Helper script: /load_kernel_modules.scr/platform/aarch64/bcm2837 # Purpose......: Set the Kernel modules for Hardware Models that use the BCM2837 # SoC within the Slackware initial RAM disk ('OS initrd') # and the Slackware installer. # Currently supported Hardware Models: # * Raspberry Pi 3 # This script is sourced from '/load_kernel_modules' # Author.......: Stuart Winter # Date.........: 30-Mar-2021 # Maintainer...: # # Please use this as a reference and example of how to add support for # a new SoC to Slackware ARM/AArch64. # # Important Note: # * You must _append_ to the module lists (include the variable # name within the variable itself), otherwise the base # set of modules will not be loaded and would result in # a Kernel panic. # * The initrd uses the 'bash' shell, rather than 'busybox' # (as in upstream/x86 Slackware). This allows you (for example) # to use 'fallthrough' (case statements terminated with ';&' # rather than ';;') within case statements and regular expression # matches within 'if' statements. # This permits the 'c'-style switch statements where you can # 'inherit' the previous matches as you move down the cases. # This enables you to match on varients of boards, and inherit # a 'baseline' of platform modules for that board. # # The 'PLATWALK' match is to enable build scripts to process these # scripts outside of the initrd environment and determine which # modules will be loaded by a particular Hardware Model. This must remain # in place for all scripts. ################################################################################# case $HWM in "Raspberry Pi 3"*|PLATWALK) platform_detected=1 SOC_NAME=bcm2837 # Set the short name that is used by /load_kernel_modules to install # the appropriate configuration for modprobe for this Hardware Model: HWM_SHORTNAME=rpi3 echo "Architecture: ${ARCH}, Hardware model: ${HWM}, SoC: ${SOC_NAME}" # If one of the modules within the base list is causing problems on # your platform, here are the options laid out as examples: # USB="${USB/ehci_orion/differentmodule}" # Substitute module 'ehci_orion' with 'differentmodule' # USB="${USB/ehci_orion/}" # Remove the 'ehci_orion' module from the list MOD_GPIO+=" " MOD_PHY+=" bcm_phy_lib phy_generic" MOD_VIDEO+=" simpledrm" MOD_CARDS+=" sdhci-iproc bcm2835" MOD_USB+=" dwc2" MOD_NET+=" " MOD_CMP+=" " MOD_CRYPTO+=" " # Example to detect hardware at runtime: #{ lspci 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'SATA cont.*ATA' ;} && MOD_XX="$MOD_XX yyy" # The following modules do not inherit: MOD_RTC="rtc-ds1307 rtc-pcf8523" # Modules for the peripherals on the Hardware Model's main board # (outside of the SoC itself) MOD_HWM="" # Modules for the IP blocks/peripherals embedded within the SoC: MOD_SOC="" ;; # Note: The RPi3 will probably benefit from the same post-module-loading # function as included within the RPi4's helper script, which initialises # an RTC on the GPIO array. # The RPi3 support is presently only supported to the basic level though, # and this can enhancement can be added later when there are people # with hardware and interest to test it. esac # The '/load_kernel_modules' script will load the modules # set above.
