U-Boot for Beelink GT-King (S922X)

The Shenzen AZW (Beelink) GT-King is based on the Amlogic W400 reference board with an S922X-H chip and the following specifications:

• 4GB LPDDR4 RAM

• 64GB eMMC storage

• 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet

• AP6356S Wireless (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, BT 4.1)

• HDMI 2.1 video

• S/PDIF optical output

• Analogue audio output

• 1x USB 2.0 port

• 2x USB 3.0 ports

• IR receiver

• 1x micro SD card slot

Beelink do not provide public schematics, but have been willing to share them with known distro developers to assist with development.

U-Boot Compilation

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
$ make beelink-gtking_defconfig
$ make

U-Boot Signing with Pre-Built FIP repo

$ git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip --depth=1
$ cd amlogic-boot-fip
$ mkdir my-output-dir
$ ./build-fip.sh beelink-s922x /path/to/u-boot/u-boot.bin my-output-dir

U-Boot Manual Signing

Beelink released an Amlogic “SDK” dump in their forums, but the U-Boot sources included result in 2GB RAM detected. The following FIPs were generated with newer sources and detect 4GB RAM: https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip/tree/master/beelink-s922x

$ wget https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip
$ export FIPDIR=$PWD/amlogic-boot-fip/beelink-s922x

Go back to the mainline U-Boot source tree then:

$ mkdir fip
$ cp $FIPDIR/* fip/
$ cp u-boot.bin fip/bl33.bin

$ sh fip/blx_fix.sh \

                       --bl30 fip/bl30_new.bin.enc \
                       --bl31 fip/bl31.img.enc \
                       --bl33 fip/bl33.bin.enc \
                       --ddrfw1 fip/ddr4_1d.fw \

                       --level v3

Then write U-Boot to SD or eMMC with:

$ DEV=/dev/boot_device
$ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1
$ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=440
