33U-boot has a *strong* dependency with the l-loader and the arm trusted firmware
34repositories.
35
36The boot sequence is:
37	l-loader --> arm_trusted_firmware --> u-boot
38
39U-Boot needs to be aware of the BL31 runtime location and size to avoid writing
40over it. Currently, BL31 is being placed below the kernel text offset (check
41poplar.c) but this could change in the future.
42
43The current version of u-boot has been tested with:

50    l-loader: use external memory region definitions
51
52    The ARM Trusted Firmware code now has a header file that collects
53    all the definitions for the memory regions used for its boot stages.
54    Include that file where needed, and use the definitions found therein

65    poplar: define memory regions in a separate file
66
67    Separate the definitions for memory regions used for the BL stage
68    images and FIP into a new file.  The "l-loader" image uses knowledge
69    of the sizes and locations of these memory regions, and it can now
70    include this (external) header to get these definitions, rather than
71    having to make coordinated changes to both code bases.
72
73    The new file has a complete set of definitions (more than may be
74    required by one or the other user).  It also includes a summary of
75    how the boot process works, and how it uses these regions.
76
77    It should now be relatively easy to adjust the sizes and locations
78    of these memory regions, or to add to them (e.g. for TEE).

83Compile from source:
84====================
85
86Get all the sources
87
88  > mkdir -p ~/poplar/src ~/poplar/bin
89  > cd ~/poplar/src
90  > git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-l-loader.git l-loader
91  > git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-arm-trusted-firmware.git atf
92  > git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-u-boot.git u-boot
93
94Make sure you are using the correct branch on each one of these repositories.
95The definition of "correct" might change over time (at this moment in time this
96would be the "latest" branch).
97
98Compile U-Boot:
99===============
100
101  Prerequisite:
102  # sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler
103
104  > cd ~/poplar/src/u-boot
105  > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- poplar_defconfig
106  > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
107  > cp u-boot.bin ~/poplar/bin
108
109Compile ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF):
110===================================
111
112  > cd ~/poplar/src/atf
113  > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip \
114		SPD=none BL33=~/poplar/bin/u-boot.bin DEBUG=1 PLAT=poplar
115
116Copy resulting binaries
117  > cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/bl1.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/
118  > cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/fip.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/
119
120Compile l-loader:
121=================
122
123  > cd ~/poplar/src/l-loader
124  > make clean
125  > make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
126
127   Due to BootROM requiremets, rename l-loader.bin to fastboot.bin:
128  > cp l-loader.bin ~/poplar/bin/fastboot.bin

132			FLASH INSTRUCTIONS
133================================================================================
134
135Two methods:
136
137Using USB debrick support:
138	Copy fastboot.bin to a FAT partition on the USB drive and reboot the
139       poplar board while pressing S3(usb_boot).
140
141       The system will execute the new u-boot and boot into a shell which you
142       can then use to write to eMMC.
143
144Using U-BOOT from shell:
145	1) using AXIS usb ethernet dongle and tftp
146	2) using FAT formated USB drive
147
148
1491. TFTP (USB ethernet dongle)
150=============================
151
152Plug a USB AXIS ethernet dongle on any of the USB2 ports on the Poplar board.
153Copy fastboot.bin to your tftp server.
154In u-boot make sure your network is properly setup.
155
156Then
157
158=> tftp 0x30000000 fastboot.bin
159starting USB...
