HiKey board

Introduction

HiKey is the first certified 96Boards Consumer Edition board. The board/SoC has:

  • HiSilicon Kirin 6220 eight-core ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC running at 1.2GHz.

  • ARM Mali 450-MP4 GPU

  • 1GB 800MHz LPDDR3 DRAM

  • 4GB eMMC Flash Storage

  • microSD

  • 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth

The HiKey schematic can be found here: https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/consumer/hikey/hikey620/hardware-docs/HiKey_schematics_LeMaker_version_Rev_A1.pdf

The SoC datasheet can be found here: https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/consumer/hikey/hikey620/hardware-docs/Hi6220V100_Multi-Mode_Application_Processor_Function_Description.pdf

Currently the u-boot port supports:

  • USB

  • eMMC

  • SD card

  • GPIO

The HiKey U-Boot port has been tested with l-loader, booting ATF, which then boots U-Boot as the bl33.bin executable.

Compile from source

First get all the sources

mkdir -p ~/hikey/src ~/hikey/bin
cd ~/hikey/src
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/edk2 -b testing/hikey960_v2.5
git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/l-loader -b testing/hikey960_v1.2
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/OpenPlatformPkg -b testing/hikey960_v1.3.4
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/atf-fastboot
wget https://snapshots.linaro.org/96boards/reference-platform/components/uefi-staging/latest/hikey/release/hisi-idt.py

Get the BL30 mcuimage.bin binary. It is shipped as part of the UEFI source. The latest version can be obtained from the OpenPlatformPkg repo.

cp OpenPlatformPkg/Platforms/Hisilicon/HiKey/Binary/mcuimage.bin ~/hikey/bin/

Get nvme.img binary

wget -P ~/hikey/bin https://snapshots.linaro.org/96boards/reference-platform/components/uefi-staging/latest/hikey/release/nvme.img

Compile U-Boot

cd ~/hikey/src/u-boot
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- hikey_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
cp u-boot.bin ~/hikey/bin

Compile ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)

cd ~/hikey/src/arm-trusted-firmware
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip \
  SCP_BL2=~/hikey/bin/mcuimage.bin \
  BL33=~/hikey/bin/u-boot.bin DEBUG=1 PLAT=hikey

Copy the resulting FIP binary

cp build/hikey/debug/fip.bin ~/hikey/bin

Compile ATF Fastboot

cd ~/hikey/src/atf-fastboot
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=hikey DEBUG=1

Compile l-loader

cd ~/hikey/src/l-loader
ln -sf ~/hikey/src/arm-trusted-firmware/build/hikey/debug/bl1.bin
ln -sf ~/hikey/src/arm-trusted-firmware/build/hikey/debug/bl2.bin
ln -sf ~/hikey/src/atf-fastboot/build/hikey/debug/bl1.bin fastboot.bin
make hikey PTABLE_LST=aosp-8g

Copy the resulting binaries

cp *.img ~/hikey/bin
cp l-loader.bin ~/hikey/bin
cp recovery.bin ~/hikey/bin

These instructions are adapted from https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/plat/hikey.rst

Flashing

1. Connect the second jumper on J15 BOOT SEL, to go into recovery mode and flash l-loader.bin with the hisi-idt.py utility. Then connect a USB A to B mini cable from your PC to the USB OTG port of HiKey and execute the below command.

The command below assumes HiKey enumerated as the first USB serial port

sudo python ~/hikey/src/hisi-idt.py -d /dev/ttyUSB0 --img1 ~/hikey/bin/recovery.bin
  1. Once LED 0 comes on solid, HiKey board should be detected as a fastboot device.

sudo fastboot devices

0123456789ABCDEF      fastboot
  1. Flash the images

sudo fastboot flash ptable ~/hikey/bin/prm_ptable.img
sudo fastboot flash loader ~/hikey/bin/l-loader.bin
sudo fastboot flash fastboot ~/hikey/bin/fip.bin
sudo fastboot flash nvme ~/hikey/bin/nvme.img
  1. Disconnect second jumper on J15 BOOT SEL, and reset the board and you will now (hopefully) have ATF, booting u-boot from eMMC.

    Note: To get USB host working, also disconnect the USB OTG cable used for flashing. Otherwise you will get ‘dwc_otg_core_host_init: Timeout!’ errors.
