================================================================================ Board Information ================================================================================ Developed by HiSilicon, the board features the Hi3798C V200 with an integrated quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 processor and high performance Mali T720 GPU, making it capable of running any commercial set-top solution based on Linux or Android. Its high performance specification also supports a premium user experience with up to H.265 HEVC decoding of 4K video at 60 frames per second.

The boot sequence is: l-loader --> arm_trusted_firmware --> u-boot U-Boot needs to be aware of the BL31 runtime location and size to avoid writing over it. Currently, BL31 is being placed below the kernel text offset (check poplar.c) but this could change in the future. The current version of u-boot has been tested with: - https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-l-loader.git commit f0988698dcc5c08bd0a8f50aa0457e138a5f438c Author: Alex Elder Date: Fri Jun 16 08:57:59 2017 -0500 l-loader: use external memory region definitions The ARM Trusted Firmware code now has a header file that collects all the definitions for the memory regions used for its boot stages. Include that file where needed, and use the definitions found therein Signed-off-by: Alex Elder - https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-arm-trusted-firmware.git commit 6ac42dd3be13c99aa8ce29a15073e2f19d935f68 Author: Alex Elder Date: Fri Jun 16 09:24:50 2017 -0500 poplar: define memory regions in a separate file Separate the definitions for memory regions used for the BL stage images and FIP into a new file. The "l-loader" image uses knowledge of the sizes and locations of these memory regions, and it can now include this (external) header to get these definitions, rather than having to make coordinated changes to both code bases. The new file has a complete set of definitions (more than may be required by one or the other user). It also includes a summary of how the boot process works, and how it uses these regions. It should now be relatively easy to adjust the sizes and locations of these memory regions, or to add to them (e.g. for TEE).

The definition of "correct" might change over time (at this moment in time this would be the "latest" branch). Compile U-Boot: =============== Prerequisite: # sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler > cd ~/poplar/src/u-boot > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- poplar_defconfig > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- > cp u-boot.bin ~/poplar/bin Compile ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF): =================================== > cd ~/poplar/src/atf > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip \ SPD=none BL33=~/poplar/bin/u-boot.bin DEBUG=1 PLAT=poplar Copy resulting binaries > cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/bl1.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/ > cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/fip.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/ Compile l-loader: ================= > cd ~/poplar/src/l-loader > make clean > make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- Due to BootROM requiremets, rename l-loader.bin to fastboot.bin: > cp l-loader.bin ~/poplar/bin/fastboot.bin ================================================================================ FLASH INSTRUCTIONS ================================================================================ Two methods: Using USB debrick support: Copy fastboot.bin to a FAT partition on the USB drive and reboot the poplar board while pressing S3(usb_boot). The system will execute the new u-boot and boot into a shell which you can then use to write to eMMC. Using U-BOOT from shell: 1) using AXIS usb ethernet dongle and tftp 2) using FAT formated USB drive 1. TFTP (USB ethernet dongle) ============================= Plug a USB AXIS ethernet dongle on any of the USB2 ports on the Poplar board. Copy fastboot.bin to your tftp server. In u-boot make sure your network is properly setup. Then => tftp 0x30000000 fastboot.bin starting USB...
