The ASUS Transformer T30 family are 2-in-1 detachable tablets and AiO developed by ASUS that run the Android operating system (TF600T runs Windows RT and P1801-T runs Android and Windows). The T30 Transformers feature a 10.1-inch display (apart P1801-T), an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core chip, 1/2 GB of RAM, and 16/32 GB of storage. Transformers board derives from Nvidia Cardhu development board. This patch brings support for 7 known Transformer devices: - ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 - ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T/TF300TG/TF300TL - ASUS VivoTab RT TF600T (Windows RT based) - ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700T - ASUS Portable AiO P1801-T Tested-by: Andreas Westman Dorcsak <hedmoo@yahoo.com> # all devices Signed-off-by: Svyatoslav Ryhel <clamor95@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

U-Boot for the ASUS Transformer device family
|
||
=============================================
|
||
|
||
``DISCLAMER!`` Moving your ASUS Transformer to use U-Boot
|
||
assumes replacement of the vendor ASUS bootloader. Vendor
|
||
android firmwares will no longer be able to run on the device.
|
||
This replacement IS reversible.
|
||
|
||
Quick Start
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
- Build U-Boot
|
||
- Pack U-Boot into repart-block
|
||
- Flash repart-block into the eMMC
|
||
- Flash repart-block into TF600T SPI flash
|
||
- Boot
|
||
- Self Upgrading
|
||
|
||
Build U-Boot
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
Device support is implemented by applying config fragment
|
||
to a generic board defconfig. Valid fragments are ``tf201.config``,
|
||
``tf300t.config``, ``tf300tg.config``, ``tf300tl.config``,
|
||
``tf700t.config``, ``tf600t.config`` and ``p1801-t.config``.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||
|
||
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
|
||
$ make transformer_t30_defconfig tf201.config # For TF201
|
||
$ make
|
||
|
||
After the build succeeds, you will obtain the final ``u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin``
|
||
image, ready for flashing (but check the next section for additional
|
||
adjustments).
|
||
|
||
Pack U-Boot into repar-block
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
``DISCLAMER!`` All questions related to re-crypt work should be asked
|
||
in re-crypt repo issues. NOT HERE!
|
||
|
||
re-crypt is a small script which packs ``u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin`` in
|
||
form usable by device. This process is required only on the first
|
||
installation or to recover the device in case of a failed update.
|
||
You need to know your tablet's individual SBK to continue.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||
|
||
$ git clone https://github.com/clamor-s/re-crypt.git
|
||
$ cd re-crypt # place your u-boot-dtb-regra.bin here
|
||
$ ./re-crypt.sh -d tf201 -k deadbeefdeadc0dedeadd00dfee1dead
|
||
|
||
Script will produce you a `repart-block.bin` ready to flash.
|
||
|
||
Flash repart-block into the eMMC
|
||
--------------------------------
|
||
|
||
``DISCLAMER!`` All questions related to NvFlash should be asked
|
||
in the proper place. NOT HERE! Flashing repart-block will erase
|
||
all your eMMC, so make a backup before!
|
||
|
||
``repart-block.bin`` contains BCT and bootloader in encrypted state
|
||
in form which can just be written RAW at the start of eMMC.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||
|
||
$ wheelie --blob blob.bin
|
||
$ nvflash --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 1024 repart-block.bin
|
||
|
||
Flash repart-block into TF600T SPI flash
|
||
----------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Unlike other transformers TF600T uses separate 4 MB SPI flash which
|
||
contains all data required for boot. It is flashed from within u-boot
|
||
itself preloaded into RAM using fusee gelee. After creating your
|
||
``repart-block.bin`` you have to place it on a 1st partition of microSD
|
||
card formated in fat. Then insert this microSD card into your tablet
|
||
and boot it using fusee gelee and u-boot which was included into
|
||
repart-block.bin, while booting you must hold volume down button.
|
||
Process should take less then a minute, if everything goes correct,
|
||
on microSD will appear ``spi-flash-backup.bin`` file, which is dump of
|
||
your spi flash content and can be used to restore UEFI, do not loose it,
|
||
tablet will power itself off.
|
||
|
||
Self-updating of u-boot is performed by placing ``u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin``
|
||
on 1st partition of microSD, inserting it into tablet and booting with
|
||
pressed volume down button.
|
||
|
||
Boot
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
After flashing ``repart-block.bin`` the device should reboot and turn
|
||
itself off. This is normal behavior if no boot configuration is
|
||
found.
|
||
|
||
To boot Linux, U-Boot will look for an ``extlinux.conf`` on MicroSD
|
||
and then on eMMC. Additionally if Volume Down button is pressed
|
||
while booting device will enter bootmenu. Bootmenu contains entries
|
||
to mount MicroSD and eMMC as mass storage, fastboot, reboot, reboot
|
||
RCM, poweroff, enter U-Boot console and update bootloader (check next
|
||
chapter).
|
||
|
||
Flashing ``repart-block.bin`` eliminates vendor restriction on eMMC
|
||
and allows the user to use/partition it in any way the user desires.
|
||
|
||
Self Upgrading
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
Place your ``u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin`` on the first partition of the
|
||
MicroSD card and insert it into the tablet. Enter bootmenu, choose
|
||
update bootloader option with Power button and U-Boot should update
|
||
itself. Once the process is completed, U-Boot will ask to press any
|
||
button to reboot.
