4RK3399 key features we might use in U-Boot:
5* CPU: ARMv8 64bit Big-Little architecture,
6* Big: dual-core Cortex-A72
7* Little: quad-core Cortex-A53
8* IRAM: 200KB
9* DRAM: 4GB-128MB dual-channel
10* eMMC: support eMMC 5.0/5.1, suport HS400, HS200, DDR50
11* SD/MMC: support SD 3.0, MMC 4.51
12* USB: USB3.0 typc-C port *2 with dwc3 controller
13* USB2.0 EHCI host port *2
14* Display: RGB/HDMI/DP/MIPI/EDP
15
16evb key features:
17* regulator: pwm regulator for CPU B/L
18* PMIC: rk808
19* debug console: UART2
20
21In order to support Arm Trust Firmware(ATF), we can use either SPL or
22miniloader from rockchip to do:
23* do DRAM init
24* load and verify ATF image
25* load and verify U-Boot image
26
27Here is the step-by-step to boot to U-Boot on rk3399.
28
29Get the Source and prebuild binary
30==================================
31
32 > mkdir ~/evb_rk3399
33 > cd ~/evb_rk3399
34 > git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
35 > git clone https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin.git
36 > git clone https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkdeveloptool.git
37
38Get some prerequisites
39======================
40
41You need the Python elftools.elf.elffile library for make_fit_atf.py to work:
42
43 > sudo apt-get install python-pyelftools
44
45Compile ATF
46===========
47
48 > cd arm-trusted-firmware
49 > make realclean
50 > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=rk3399 bl31
51
52 Get bl31.elf in this step, copy it to U-Boot root dir:
53 > cp build/rk3399/release/bl31/bl31.elf ../u-boot/
54
55 Or you can get the bl31.elf directly from Rockchip:
56 > cp rkbin/rk33/rk3399_bl31_v1.00.elf ../u-boot/bl31.elf
57
58
59Compile U-Boot
60==============
61
62 > cd ../u-boot
63 > export ARCH=arm64
64 > export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
65 > make evb-rk3399_defconfig
66 for firefly-rk3399, use below instead:
67 > make firefly-rk3399_defconfig
68 > make
69 > make u-boot.itb
70
71 Get spl/u-boot-spl.bin and u-boot.itb in this step.
72
73Compile rkdeveloptool
74=====================
75
76Get rkdeveloptool installed on your Host in this step.
77
78Follow instructions in latest README, example:
79 > cd ../rkdeveloptool
80 > autoreconf -i
81 > ./configure
82 > make
83 > sudo make install
84
85Both origin binaries and Tool are ready now, choose either option 1 or
86option 2 to deploy U-Boot.
87
88Package the image
89=================
90
91Package the image for U-Boot SPL(option 1)
92--------------------------------
93 > cd ..
94 > tools/mkimage -n rk3399 -T rksd -d spl/u-boot-spl.bin idbspl.img
95
96 Get idbspl.img in this step.
97
98Package the image for Rockchip miniloader(option 2)
99------------------------------------------
100 > cd ..
101 > cp arm-trusted-firmware/build/rk3399/release/bl31.elf rkbin/rk33
102 > ./rkbin/tools/trust_merger rkbin/tools/RK3399TRUST.ini
103 > ./rkbin/tools/loaderimage --pack --uboot u-boot/u-boot-dtb.bin uboot.img
104
105 Get trust.img and uboot.img in this step.
106
107Flash the image to eMMC
108=======================
109
110Flash the image with U-Boot SPL(option 1)
111-------------------------------
112Power on(or reset with RESET KEY) with MASKROM KEY preesed, and then:
113 > rkdeveloptool db rkbin/rk33/rk3399_loader_v1.08.106.bin
114 > rkdeveloptool wl 64 u-boot/idbspl.img
115 > rkdeveloptool wl 0x4000 u-boot/u-boot.itb
116 > rkdeveloptool rd
117
118Flash the image with Rockchip miniloader(option 2)
119----------------------------------------
120Power on(or reset with RESET KEY) with MASKROM KEY preesed, and then:
121 > rkdeveloptool db rkbin/rk33/rk3399_loader_v1.08.106.bin
122 > rkdeveloptool ul rkbin/rk33/rk3399_loader_v1.08.106.bin
123 > rkdeveloptool wl 0x4000 u-boot/uboot.img
124 > rkdeveloptool wl 0x6000 u-boot/trust.img
125 > rkdeveloptool rd
126
127You should be able to get U-Boot log in console/UART2(baurdrate 1500000)
