Note of warning:

|
U-boot has a *strong* dependency with the l-loader and the arm trusted firmware
|
repositories.
|
|
The boot sequence is:
|
l-loader --> arm_trusted_firmware --> u-boot
|
|
U-Boot needs to be aware of the BL31 runtime location and size to avoid writing
|
over it. Currently, BL31 is being placed below the kernel text offset (check
|
poplar.c) but this could change in the future.
|
|
The current version of u-boot has been tested with:

l-loader: use external memory region definitions
|
|
The ARM Trusted Firmware code now has a header file that collects
|
all the definitions for the memory regions used for its boot stages.
|
Include that file where needed, and use the definitions found therein

poplar: define memory regions in a separate file
|
|
Separate the definitions for memory regions used for the BL stage
|
images and FIP into a new file. The "l-loader" image uses knowledge
|
of the sizes and locations of these memory regions, and it can now
|
include this (external) header to get these definitions, rather than
|
having to make coordinated changes to both code bases.
|
|
The new file has a complete set of definitions (more than may be
|
required by one or the other user). It also includes a summary of
|
how the boot process works, and how it uses these regions.
|
|
It should now be relatively easy to adjust the sizes and locations
|
of these memory regions, or to add to them (e.g. for TEE).

Compile from source:
|
====================
|
|
Get all the sources
|
|
> mkdir -p ~/poplar/src ~/poplar/bin
|
> cd ~/poplar/src
|
> git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-l-loader.git l-loader
|
> git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-arm-trusted-firmware.git atf
|
> git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-u-boot.git u-boot
|
|
Make sure you are using the correct branch on each one of these repositories.
|
The definition of "correct" might change over time (at this moment in time this
|
would be the "latest" branch).
|
|
Compile U-Boot:
|
===============
|
|
Prerequisite:
|
# sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler
|
|
> cd ~/poplar/src/u-boot
|
> make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- poplar_defconfig
|
> make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
|
> cp u-boot.bin ~/poplar/bin
|
|
Compile ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF):
|
===================================
|
|
> cd ~/poplar/src/atf
|
> make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip \
|
SPD=none BL33=~/poplar/bin/u-boot.bin DEBUG=1 PLAT=poplar
|
|
Copy resulting binaries
|
> cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/bl1.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/
|
> cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/fip.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/
|
|
Compile l-loader:
|
=================
|
|
> cd ~/poplar/src/l-loader
|
> make clean
|
> make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
|
|
Due to BootROM requiremets, rename l-loader.bin to fastboot.bin:
|
> cp l-loader.bin ~/poplar/bin/fastboot.bin
|
|
|
================================================================================
|
FLASH INSTRUCTIONS
|
================================================================================
|
|
Two methods:
|
|
Using USB debrick support:
|
Copy fastboot.bin to a FAT partition on the USB drive and reboot the
|
poplar board while pressing S3(usb_boot).
|
|
The system will execute the new u-boot and boot into a shell which you
|
can then use to write to eMMC.
|
|
Using U-BOOT from shell:
|
1) using AXIS usb ethernet dongle and tftp
|
2) using FAT formated USB drive
|
|
|
1. TFTP (USB ethernet dongle)
|
=============================
|
|
Plug a USB AXIS ethernet dongle on any of the USB2 ports on the Poplar board.
|
Copy fastboot.bin to your tftp server.
|
In u-boot make sure your network is properly setup.
|
|
Then
|
|
=> tftp 0x30000000 fastboot.bin

|
|
|
2. USING USB FAT DRIVE
|
=======================
|
|
Copy fastboot.bin to any partition on a FAT32 formated usb flash drive.
|
Enter the uboot prompt
|
|
=> fatls usb 0:2
|
983040 fastboot.bin
|
