SIMATIC IOT2050 BASIC and ADVANCED

The SIMATIC IOT2050 is an open industrial IoT gateway that is using the TI AM6528 GP (Basic variant) or the AM6548 HS (Advanced variant). The Advanced variant is prepared for secure boot.

The IOT2050 starts only from OSPI. It loads a Siemens-provided bootloader called SE-Boot for the MCU domain (R5F cores), then hands over to ATF and OP-TEE, before booting U-Boot on the A53 cores. This describes how to build all open artifacts into a flashable image for the OSPI flash. The flash image will work on both variants.

Dependencies

ATF: Upstream release 2.4 or newer OP-TEE: Upstream release 3.10.0 or newer

Binary dependencies can be found in https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2050/tree/master/recipes-bsp/u-boot/files/prebuild. The following binaries from that source need to be present in the build folder:

• tiboot3.bin

• sysfw.itb

• sysfw.itb_HS

• sysfw_sr2.itb

• sysfw_sr2.itb_HS

Building

Make sure that CROSS_COMPILE is set appropriately:

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

ATF:

$ make PLAT=k3 SPD=opteed K3_USART=1

OP-TEE:

$ make PLATFORM=k3-am65x CFG_ARM64_core=y CFG_TEE_CORE_LOG_LEVEL=2 CFG_CONSOLE_UART=1 CFG_USER_TA_TARGETS="ta_arm64"

U-Boot:

$ export ATF=/path/to/bl31.bin
$ export TEE=/path/to/tee-pager_v2.bin
$ make iot2050_defconfig
$ make

Flashing

Via U-Boot:

IOT2050> sf probe
IOT2050> load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr /path/to/flash.bin
IOT2050> sf update $loadaddr 0x0 $filesize

Via external programmer Dediprog SF100 or SF600:

$ dpcmd --vcc 2 -v -u flash.bin
