U-Boot for Beelink GT1 Ultimate (S912)
======================================
Beelink GT1 Ultimate is an Android STB manufactured by Shenzen AZW (Beelink) with the
following specification:
- 2GB or 3GB DDR3 RAM
- 32GB eMMC
- HDMI 2.1 video
- S/PDIF optical output
- 10/100/1000 Ethernet
- AP6356S Wireless (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, BT 4.2)
- 3x USB 2.0 ports
- IR receiver
- 1x micro SD card slot
- 1x Power LED (white)
- 1x Reset button (internal)
The GT1 (non-ultimate) board has QCA9377 WiFi/BT but is otherwise identical and should
be capable of booting images prepared for the Ultimate box (NB: there are known clones
of both boxes which may differ in specifications).
Beelink do not provide public schematics, but have been willing to share them with known
distro developers on request.
U-Boot Compilation
------------------
.. code-block:: bash
    $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
    $ make beelink-gt1-ultimate_defconfig
    $ make
U-Boot Signing with Pre-Built FIP repo
--------------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
    $ git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip --depth=1
    $ cd amlogic-boot-fip
    $ mkdir my-output-dir
    $ ./build-fip.sh beelink-gt1 /path/to/u-boot/u-boot.bin my-output-dir
U-Boot Manual Signing
---------------------
Amlogic does not provide firmware sources or tools needed to create the bootloader image
and Beelink has not publicly shared the U-Boot sources needed to build the FIP binaries
for signing. However you can download them from the amlogic-fip-repo.
.. code-block:: bash
    $ git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip --depth=1
    $ cd amlogic-boot-fip/beelink-gt1
    $ export FIPDIR=$PWD
Go back to the mainline U-Boot source tree then:
.. code-block:: bash
    $ mkdir fip
    $ cp $FIPDIR/bl2.bin fip/
    $ cp $FIPDIR/acs.bin fip/
    $ cp $FIPDIR/bl21.bin fip/
    $ cp $FIPDIR/bl30.bin fip/
    $ cp $FIPDIR/bl301.bin fip/
    $ cp $FIPDIR/bl31.img fip/
    $ cp u-boot.bin fip/bl33.bin
    $ $FIPDIR/blx_fix.sh \
              fip/bl30.bin \
              fip/zero_tmp \
              fip/bl30_zero.bin \
              fip/bl301.bin \
              fip/bl301_zero.bin \
              fip/bl30_new.bin \
              bl30
    $ python $FIPDIR/acs_tool.pyc fip/bl2.bin fip/bl2_acs.bin fip/acs.bin 0
    $ $FIPDIR/blx_fix.sh \
              fip/bl2_acs.bin \
              fip/zero_tmp \
              fip/bl2_zero.bin \
              fip/bl21.bin \
              fip/bl21_zero.bin \
              fip/bl2_new.bin \
              bl2
    $ $FIPDIR/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl30_new.bin
    $ $FIPDIR/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl31.img
    $ $FIPDIR/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl33.bin
    $ $FIPDIR/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl2sig --input fip/bl2_new.bin --output fip/bl2.n.bin.sig
    $ $FIPDIR/aml_encrypt_gxl --bootmk \
                              --output fip/u-boot.bin \
                              --bl2 fip/bl2.n.bin.sig \
                              --bl30 fip/bl30_new.bin.enc \
                              --bl31 fip/bl31.img.enc \
                              --bl33 fip/bl33.bin.enc
Then write U-Boot to SD or eMMC with:
.. code-block:: bash
    $ 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
