imx8mm_evk

U-Boot for the NXP i.MX8MM EVK board

Quick Start

  • Build the ARM Trusted firmware binary

  • Get ddr firmware

  • Build U-Boot

  • Boot

Get and Build the ARM Trusted firmware

Note: builddir is U-Boot build directory (source directory for in-tree builds) Get ATF from: https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-atf branch: imx_5.4.47_2.2.0

$ make PLAT=imx8mm bl31
$ cp build/imx8mm/release/bl31.bin $(builddir)

Get the ddr firmware

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.9.bin
$ chmod +x firmware-imx-8.9.bin
$ ./firmware-imx-8.9
$ cp firmware-imx-8.9/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4*.bin $(builddir)

Build U-Boot for sd card

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-poky-linux-
$ make imx8mm_evk_defconfig
$ make

Burn the flash.bin to MicroSD card offset 33KB:

$sudo dd if=flash.bin of=/dev/sd[x] bs=1024 seek=33 conv=notrunc

Boot

Set Boot switch to SD boot

Build U-Boot for qspi flash card

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-poky-linux-
$ make imx8mm_evk_fspi_defconfig
$ make

Currently, there is no direct support to write to QSPI Flash. Copy flash.bin to ${loadaddr} either from sd card or over network and then copy to qspi flash

From sd card to memory

$mmc dev 1
$mmc read ${loadaddr} 0x00 <size_of_flash.bin/512>
$ sf probe
$ sf erase 0 <size_of_flash.bin_in_hex>
$ sf write $loadaddr 0x00 <size_of_flash.bin_in_hex>

Boot from QSPI Flash

Set Boot Switch to QSPI Flash

Pin configuration for imx8mm_revC evk to boot from qspi flash SW1101: 0110xxxxxx SW1102: 00100x0010
