Quick Start
Build the ARM trusted firmware binary
Get the DDR firmware
Build U-Boot
Flash to eMMC
Boot
Get and Build the ARM Trusted Firmware (Trusted Firmware A)
$ echo "Downloading and building TF-A..."
$ git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
$ cd trusted-firmware-a
Then build ATF (TF-A):
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
$ make PLAT=imx8mp IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE=0x30880000 bl31
$ cp build/imx8mp/release/bl31.bin ../
Get the DDR Firmware
$ cd ..
$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.10.1.bin
$ chmod +x firmware-imx-8.10.1.bin
$ ./firmware-imx-8.10.1.bin
$ cp firmware-imx-8.10.1/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4*_202006.bin ./
Build U-Boot
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
$ make verdin-imx8mp_defconfig
$ make
Flash to eMMC
> tftpboot ${loadaddr} flash.bin
> setexpr blkcnt ${filesize} + 0x1ff && setexpr blkcnt ${blkcnt} / 0x200
> mmc dev 2 1 && mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x0 ${blkcnt}
As a convenience, instead of the last two commands, one may also use the update U-Boot wrapper:
> run update_uboot
Boot
ATF, U-Boot proper and u-boot.dtb images are packed into a FIT image, which is loaded and parsed by SPL.
Boot sequence is:
SPL —> ATF (TF-A) —> U-Boot proper
Output:
