30U-Boot compilation
31==================
32
33 > export ARCH=arm
34 > export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
35 > make khadas-vim_defconfig
36 > make

38Image creation
39==============
40
41Amlogic doesn't provide sources for the firmware and for tools needed
42to create the bootloader image, so it is necessary to obtain them from
43the git tree published by the board vendor:

54 > export FIPDIR=$PWD/fip
55
56Go back to mainline U-Boot source tree then :
57 > mkdir fip
58
59 > cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl2.bin fip/
60 > cp $FIPDIR/gxl/acs.bin fip/
61 > cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl21.bin fip/

63 > cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl301.bin fip/
64 > cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl31.img fip/
65 > cp u-boot.bin fip/bl33.bin
66
67 > $FIPDIR/blx_fix.sh \
68	fip/bl30.bin \

75
76 > python $FIPDIR/acs_tool.pyc fip/bl2.bin fip/bl2_acs.bin fip/acs.bin 0

87 > $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl30_new.bin
88 > $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl31.img
89 > $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl33.bin
90 > $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl2sig --input fip/bl2_new.bin --output fip/bl2.n.bin.sig
91 > $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bootmk \
92		--output fip/u-boot.bin \

95		--bl31 fip/bl31.img.enc \
96		--bl33 fip/bl33.bin.enc

98and then write the image to SD with:
99
100 > DEV=/dev/your_sd_device
101 > dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1
102 > dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=444
