Pre-Generated FIP File Repo
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Pre-built Flattened Image Package (FIP) sources and Amlogic signing binaries for many
|
|
commercially available boards and some Android STB devices are collected for use with
|
|
distro build-systems here: https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip
|
|
|
|
Using the pre-built FIP sources to sign U-Boot is simple, e.g. for LePotato:
|
|
|
|
.. 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 lepotato /path/to/u-boot/u-boot.bin my-output-dir
|
|
|
|
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

Amlogic ARMv8 SoCs use a vendor modified variant of the ARM Trusted Firmware-A boot
|
|
architecture. See documentation here: https://www.trustedfirmware.org/projects/tf-a/
|
|
|
|
Trusted Firmware-A uses the following boot elements (simplified):
|
|
|
|
- BL1: First boot step implemented in ROM on Amlogic SoCs
|
|
|
|
- BL2: Second boot step used to initialize the SoC main clocks & DDR interface. BL21
|
|
and ACS board-specific binaries must be "inserted" into the BL2 binary before signing
|
|
and packaging in order to be flashed on the platform
|
|
|
|
- BL30: Amlogic Secure Co-Processor (SCP) firmware used to handle all system management
|
|
operations (DVFS, suspend/resume, ..)
|
|
|
|
- BL301: Amlogic Secure Co-Processor (SCP) board-specific firmware "plug-in" to handle
|
|
custom DVFS & suspend-resume parameters
|
|
|
|
- BL31: Initializes the interrupt controller and the system management interface (PSCI)
|
|
|
|
- BL32 (Optional): Is the Trusted Environment Execution (TEE) Operating System used to
|
|
run secure Trusted Apps, e.g. OP-TEE
|
|
|
|
- BL33: Is the last non-secure step, usually U-Boot which loads Linux
|
|
|
|
Amlogic sources provide the following binaries:
|
|
|
|
- bl2.bin
|
|
- bl30.bin
|
|
- bl30.bin
|
|
- bl31.img
|
|
- bl32.bin
|
|
|
|
For G12A/B and SM1 Amlogic also provides DDR drivers used by the BL2 binary:
|
|
|
|
- ddr4_1d.fw
|
|
- ddr4_2d.fw
|
|
- ddr3_1d.fw
|
|
- piei.fw
|
|
- lpddr4_1d.fw
|
|
- lpddr4_2d.fw
|
|
- diag_lpddr4.fw
|
|
- aml_ddr.fw
|
|
|
|
The following files are generated from the Amlogic U-Boot fork:
|
|
|
|
- acs.bin: Contains the PLL & DDR parameters for the board
|
|
- bl301.bin: Contains the DVFS & suspend-resume handling code for the board
|
|
- bl33.bin: U-boot binary image
|
|
|
|
The acs.bin and bl301.bin files use U-Boot GPL-2.0+ headers and U-Boot build system and
|
|
are thus considered to be issued from GPL-2.0+ source code.
|
|
|
|
Amlogic alo provides pre-compiled x86_64 and Python2 binaries:
|
|
|
|
- aml_encrypt_gxb
|
|
- aml_encrypt_gxl
|
|
- aml_encrypt_g12a
|
|
- aml_encrypt_g12b
|
|
- acs_tool.pyc
|
|
|
|
The repo replaces the pre-compiled acs_tool.pyc with a Python3 acs_tool.py that can be
|
|
used with modern build hosts.
|
|
|
|
The repo also provides the following files used with GXBB boards:
|
|
|
|
- bl1.bin.hardkernel
|
|
- aml_chksum
|
|
|
|
The repo also supports the open-source 'gxlimg' signing tool that can be used to sign
|
|
U-Boot binaries for GXL/GXM/G12A/G12B/SM1 boards: https://github.com/repk/gxlimg
