The current documentation for Snapdragon based Samsung and Qualcomm boards is vague in the sense that at one place it mentions that u-boot can be used as a replacement for ABL bootloader and at another it mentions that u-boot is loaded as an Android boot image through ABL. Fix the same. Signed-off-by: Bhupesh Sharma <bhupesh.sharma@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@linaro.org>

QCS404 EVB

About this
|
|
----------
|
|
This document describes the information about Qualcomm QCS404 evaluation board
|
|
and it's usage steps.
|
|
|
|
The current boot flow support loading u-boot as an Android boot image via
|
|
Qualcomm's UEFI-based ABL (Android) Bootloader.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
Build
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
Setup ``CROSS_COMPILE`` for aarch64 and build U-Boot for your board::
|
|
|
|
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=<aarch64 toolchain prefix>
|
|
$ make qcs404evb_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
This will build ``u-boot.bin`` in the configured output directory.
|
|
|
|
Generate FIT image
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
A ``qcs404.its`` file can be found in ``board/qualcomm/qcs404-evb/`` directory.
|
|
It expects a folder as ``qcs404_imgs/`` in the main directory containing
|
|
pre-built kernel, dts and ramdisk images. See ``qcs404.its`` for full path to
|
|
images.
|
|
|
|
- Build FIT image::
|
|
|
|
mkimage -f qcs404-evb.its qcs404-evb.itb
|
|
|
|
Pack android boot image
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
We'll assemble android boot image with ``u-boot.bin`` instead of linux kernel,
|
|
and FIT image instead of ``initramfs``. Android bootloader expect gzipped kernel
|
|
with appended dtb, so let's mimic linux to satisfy stock bootloader:
|
|
|
|
- create dump dtb::
|
|
|
|
workdir=/tmp/prepare_payload
|
|
mkdir -p "$workdir"
|
|
cd "$workdir"
|
|
mock_dtb="$workdir"/payload_mock.dtb
|
|
|
|
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o "$mock_dtb" << EOF
|
|
/dts-v1/;
|
|
/ {
|
|
model = "Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. QCS404 EVB 4000";
|
|
compatible = "qcom,qcs404-evb-4000", "qcom,qcs404-evb", "qcom,qcs404";
|
|
|
|
#address-cells = <2>;
|
|
#size-cells = <2>;
|
|
|
|
memory@80000000 {
|
|
device_type = "memory";
|
|
/* We expect the bootloader to fill in the size */
|
|
reg = <0 0x80000000 0 0>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
chosen { };
|
|
};
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
- gzip u-boot ``gzip u-boot.bin``
|
|
- append dtb to gzipped u-boot: ``cat u-boot.bin.gz "$mock_dtb" > u-boot.bin.gz-dtb``
|
|
|
|
Now we've got everything to build android boot image:::
|
|
|
|
mkbootimg --kernel u-boot.bin.gz-dtb \
|
|
--ramdisk qcs404-evb.itb --pagesize 4096 \
|
|
--base 0x80000000 --output boot.img
|
|
|
|
Flash image on qcs404-evb using fastboot method.
