Snapdragon 845
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
About this
|
|
----------
|
|
This document describes the information about Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
|
|
supported boards and it's usage steps.
|
|
|
|
SDM845 - hi-end qualcomm chip, introduced in late 2017.
|
|
Mostly used in flagship phones and tablets of 2018.
|
|
|
|
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 <your board name here, see Boards section>_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
This will build ``u-boot.bin`` in the configured output directory.
|
|
|
|
Generate FIT image
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
See doc/uImage.FIT for more details
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Boards
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
starqlte
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The starqltechn is a production board for Samsung S9 (SM-G9600) phone,
|
|
based on the Qualcomm SDM845 SoC.
|
|
|
|
Steps:
|
|
|
|
- Build u-boot::
|
|
|
|
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=<aarch64 toolchain prefix>
|
|
$ make starqltechn_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
- 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/;
|
|
/ {
|
|
memory {
|
|
/* We expect the bootloader to fill in the size */
|
|
reg = <0 0 0 0>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
chosen { };
|
|
};
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
- gzip u-boot::
|
|
|
|
gzip u-boot.bin
|
|
|
|
- Append dtb to gzipped u-boot::
|
|
|
|
cat u-boot.bin.gz "$mock_dtb" > u-boot.bin.gz-dtb
|
|
|
|
- Now we've got everything to build android boot image::
|
|
|
|
mkbootimg --base 0x0 --kernel_offset 0x00008000 \
|
|
--ramdisk_offset 0x02000000 --tags_offset 0x01e00000 \
|
|
--pagesize 4096 --second_offset 0x00f00000 \
|
|
--ramdisk "$fit_image" \
|
|
--kernel u-boot.bin.gz-dtb \
|
|
-o boot.img
|
|
|
|
- Flash image with your phone's flashing method.

dragonboard845c
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The dragonboard845c is a Qualcomm Robotics RB3 Development Platform, based on
|
|
the Qualcomm SDM845 SoC.
|
|
|
|
Steps:
|
|
|
|
- Build u-boot::
|
|
|
|
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=<aarch64 toolchain prefix>
|
|
$ make dragonboard845c_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
- Create dummy dtb::
|
|
|
|
workdir=/tmp/prepare_payload
|
|
mkdir -p "$workdir"
|
|
mock_dtb="$workdir"/payload_mock.dtb
|
|
|
|
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o "$mock_dtb" << EOF
|
|
/dts-v1/;
|
|
/ {
|
|
#address-cells = <2>;
|
|
#size-cells = <2>;
|
|
|
|
memory@80000000 {
|
|
device_type = "memory";
|
|
/* We expect the bootloader to fill in the size */
|
|
reg = <0 0x80000000 0 0>;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
chosen { };
|
|
};
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
- gzip u-boot::
|
|
|
|
gzip u-boot.bin
|
|
|
|
- Append dtb to gzipped u-boot::
|
|
|
|
cat u-boot.bin.gz "$mock_dtb" > u-boot.bin.gz-dtb
|
|
|
|
- A ``db845c.its`` file can be found in ``board/qualcomm/dragonboard845c/``
|
|
directory. It expects a folder as ``db845c_imgs/`` in the main directory
|
|
containing pre-built kernel, dts and ramdisk images. See ``db845c.its``
|
|
for full path to images::
|
|
|
|
mkimage -f db845c.its db845c.itb
|
|
|
|
- Now we've got everything to build android boot image::
|
|
|
|
mkbootimg --kernel u-boot.bin.gz-dtb --ramdisk db845c.itb \
|
|
--output boot.img --pagesize 4096 --base 0x80000000
|
|
|
|
- Flash boot.img using db845c fastboot method:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
|
|
|
