Follow these steps to update the DPAA1 FMan ucode image in QSPI NOR flash.  cpld reset boots the board from QSPI NOR flash0 and cpld reset altbank boots the board from the QSPI NOR flash1. sf probe 0:1 means that the alternate bank will be written to. So, if the board boots from QSPI NOR flash0 and sf probe 0:1 is entered at the U-Boot prompt, the commands that follow will program QSPI NOR flash1.   Obtaining DPAA1 FMan ucode image Clone the qoriq-fm-ucode repository. $ git clone https://github.com/NXP/qoriq-fm-ucode.git $ cd qoriq-fm-ucode $ git checkout LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout LSDK-18.12 The prebuilt FMan ucode images, fsl_fman_ucode_ls1046_r1.0_<microcode version>.bin, are at qoriq-fm-ucode/. In the binary file, ls1046_r1.0 refers to the LS1046A silicon revision 1.0. See qoriq-fm-ucode/readme for a description of the ucode version numbers. Programming FMan ucode image to QSPI NOR flash FMan ucode image can be loaded to LS1046ARDB from a TFTP server or from a mass storage device (SD, USB, or SATA). Option 1: Load image from the TFTP server Boot LS1046ARDB from QSPI NOR flash. Ensure that the switches are set to boot the board from QSPI. For booting from QSPI, SW5[1:8] = 00100010 Boot from QSPI NOR flash0: => cpld reset In boot log, you’ll see: Board: LS1046ARDB, boot from QSPI vBank 0 Set up Ethernet connection When board boots up, U-Boot prints a list of enabled Ethernet interfaces.

Trusted Firmware for Cortex-A (TF-A) is an implementation of EL3 secure firmware. TF-A replaces PPA in secure firmware role. Please note the steps listed in this topic can only be performed with LSDK 18.12 and newer releases.                      To migrate to the TF-A boot flow from the previous boot flow (with PPA), you need to compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_<boot_mode>.pbl and fip.bin, and flash these binaries on the specific boot medium on the board. For NAND boot, you need to compile the following TF-A binaries. TF-A binary name Components bl2_nand BL2 binary: Platform initialization binary RCW binary for NAND boot  fip.bin BL31: Secure runtime firmware BL32: Trusted OS, for example, OPTEE (optional) BL33: U-Boot/UEFI image Follow these steps to compile and deploy TF-A  binaries (bl2_nand.pbl and fip.bin) on the NAND flash. Compile PBL binary from RCW source file Compile U-Boot binary [Optional] Compile OPTEE binary  Compile TF-A binaries (bl2_nand.pbl and fip.bin) for NAND boot Program TF-A binaries to the NAND flash Step 1: Compile PBL binary from RCW source file You need to compile the rcw_1600_nandboot.bin binary to build the bl2_nand.pbl binary. Clone the  rcw repository and compile the PBL binary.  $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/rcw $ cd rcw $ git checkout -b <new branch name> <LSDK tag>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.03 LSDK-19.03  $ cd ls1043ardb If required, make changes to the rcw files. $ make   The compiled PBL binary for NAND boot on LS1043ARDB, rcw_1600_nandboot.bin, is available at rcw/ls1043ardb/RR_FQPP_1455/.   See the rcw/ls1043ardb/README file for an explanation of the naming convention for the directories that contain the RCW source and binary files. Step 2: Compile U-Boot binary You need to compile the u-boot.bin binary to build the fip.bin binary. Clone the u-boot repository and compile the U-Boot binary for TF-A. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/u-boot.git $ cd u-boot $ git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.03 LSDK-19.03  $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make distclean $ make ls1043ardb_tfa_defconfig $ make If the make command shows the error "*** Your GCC is older than 6.0 and is not supported", ensure that you are using Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit version for building the LSDK 18.12 U-Boot binary.                                                       The compiled U-Boot binary, u-boot.bin, is available at u-boot/. Step 3: [Optional] Compile OPTEE binary  You need to compile the tee.bin binary to build fip.bin with OPTEE. However, OPTEE is optional, you can skip the procedure to compile OPTEE if you want to build the FIP binary without OPTEE. Clone the optee_os repository and build the OPTEE binary.  $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/optee_os $ cd optee_os $ git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.03 LSDK-19.03 $ export ARCH=arm $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make CFG_ARM64_core=y PLATFORM=ls-ls1043ardb $ aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -v -O binary out/arm-plat-ls/core/tee.elf out/arm-plat-ls/core/tee.bin The compiled OPTEE image, tee.bin, is available at optee_os/out/arm-plat-ls/core/. Step 4: Compile TF-A binaries for NAND boot Clone the atf repository and compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_nand.pbl and fip.bin. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/atf $ cd atf $ git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.03 LSDK-19.03 $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Build BL2 binary with OPTEE. $ make PLAT=ls1043ardb bl2 SPD=opteed BOOT_MODE=nand BL32=<path_to_optee_binary>/tee.bin pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600_nandboot.bin The compiled BL2 images, bl2.bin and bl2_nand.pbl are available at atf/build/ls1043ardb/release/. For any update in the BL2 source code or RCW binary, the bl2_nand.pbl binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the BL2 binary without OPTEE: $ make PLAT=ls1043ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=nand pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600_nandboot.bin                  Build FIP binary with OPTEE and without trusted board boot. $ make PLAT=ls1043ardb fip BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.bin SPD=opteed BL32=<path_to_optee_binary>/tee.bin The compiled BL31 and FIP binaries, bl31.bin, fip.bin, are available at atf/build/ls1043ardb/release/. For any update in the BL31, BL32, or BL33 binaries, the fip.bin binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the FIP binary without OPTEE and without trusted board boot: $ make PLAT=ls1043ardb fip BOOT_MODE=nand BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.bin To compile the FIP binary with trusted board boot, refer the read me at <atf repository>/plat/nxp/README.TRUSTED_BOOT                               Step 5: Program TF-A binaries to NAND flash Boot LS1043ARDB from NOR flash. Ensure that the switches are set to boot the board from NOR bank 0. For booting from NOR bank 0, switch settings are as follows: SW3[1:8] = 10110011 SW4[1:8] = 00010010 SW5[1:8] = 10100010 Boot from NOR bank 0: => cpld reset For LS1043ARDB, in boot log, you'll see: Board: LS1043ARDB, boot from vBank 0   Set up Ethernet connection When board boots up, U-Boot prints a list of enabled Ethernet interfaces. FM1@DTSEC1, FM1@DTSEC2, FM1@DTSEC3 [PRIME], FM1@DTSEC4, FM1@DTSEC5 Set server IP address to the IP address of the host machine on which you have configured the TFTP server.  => setenv serverip <ipaddress1> Set ethact and ethprime as the Ethernet interface connected to the TFTP server. See LS1043ARDB Ethernet and FMC port mapping for the mapping of Ethernet port names appearing on the chassis front panel with the port names in U-Boot and Linux.                                                   => setenv ethprime <name of interface connected to TFTP server> For example: => setenv ethprime FM1@DTSEC4 => setenv ethact <name of interface connected to TFTP server> For example: => setenv ethact FM1@DTSEC4 Set IP address of the board. You can set a static IP address or, if the board can connect to a dhcp server, you can use the dhcp command.  Static IP address assignment: => setenv ipaddr <ipaddress2> => setenv netmask <subnet mask> Dynamic IP address assignment: => dhcp Save the settings. => saveenv Check the connection between the board and the TFTP server. => ping $serverip Using FM1@DTSEC4 device host 192.168.1.1 is alive   Load TF-A binaries from the TFTP server For details about the flash image layout for TF-A binaries, refer LSDK memory layout for TF-A boot flow.                               Flash bl2_nand.pbl: => tftp 82000000 bl2_nand.pbl => nand erase 0x0 $filesize;nand write 0x82000000 0x0 $filesize; Flash fip.bin: => tftp 82000000 fip.bin => nand erase 0x100000 $filesize;nand write 0x82000000 0x100000 $filesize; Boot from NAND flash: => cpld reset nand LS1043ARDB will boot with TF-A.

Follow these steps to update the DPAA2 MC firmware, DPC, and DPL images on the SD card.    Compiling MC firmware Clone the qoriq-mc-binary repository. $ git clone https://github.com/NXP/qoriq-mc-binary.git $ cd qoriq-mc-binary/ls1088a/ $ git checkout LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout LSDK-18.09 The prebuilt MC firmware image, mc_10.10.0_ls1088a_20180814.itb, is available at qoriq-mc-binary/ls1088a/. Note that the exact name of the MC firmware image may vary depending on the release version used.                  Compiling DPC and DPL images Clone the mc-utils repository and compile the DPC and DPL images. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/mc-utils $ cd mc-utils/ $ git checkout LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout LSDK-18.09 If required, make changes to the DPC and DPL files. $ make -C config/ The compiled dpc.0x1D-0x0D.dtb and dpl-eth.0x1D_0x0D.dtb images are available at /mc-utils/config/ls1088a/RDB/. Note that the exact name of the DPL and DPC images may vary depending on the release version used.             SD card start block number for MC, DPL, and DPC images Image  SD card start block number DPAA2 MC firmware 0x05000 = 20480 DPAA2 DPL  0x06800 = 26624 DPAA2 DPC 0x07000 = 28672 Refer the Layerscape Software Development Kit <version> Documentation for complete listing of the SD card start block numbers for all LSDK firmware images.    Programming MC, DPC, and DPL images to SD card Plug the SD card into the Linux host. Run the following commands on the Linux host: To update MC firmware: $ sudo dd if=mc_10.10.0_ls1088a_20180814.itb of=/dev/sdX bs=512 seek=20480 conv=fsync To update DPL image: $ sudo dd if=dpl-eth.0x1D_0x0D.dtb of=/dev/sdX bs=512 seek=26624 conv=fsync To update DPC image: $ sudo dd if=dpc.0x1D-0x0D.dtb of=/dev/sdX bs=512 seek=28672 conv=fsync Use the command cat /proc/partitions to see a list of devices and their sizes to make sure that the correct device names have been chosen. The SDHC storage drive in the Linux PC is detected as /dev/sdX, where X is a letter such as a, b, c. Make sure to choose the correct device name, because data on this device will be replaced. If your Linux host machine supports read/write SDHC card directly without an extra SDHC card reader device, the device name of SDHC card is typically  mmcblk0.   Remove the SD card from the Linux host machine. On the LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB, ensure that the switches are set to boot the board from the SD card.  For booting from SD card, SW1[1:8] + SW2[1] = 0010_0000_0  Plug the SD card into the board and boot the board to Ubuntu. If U-Boot does not find LSDK on the SD card, it will boot TinyDistro from lsdk_linux_arm64_ tiny.itb stored on the SD card.

Follow these steps to update the Linux kernel image and device tree on the SD card.  Compiling Linux kernel images and device tree On Linux host, clone the repository with Linux kernel image and device tree: $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/linux $ cd linux $ git checkout -b <new branch> <start point> For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.06-V4.14 LSDK-19.06-V4.14 where LSDK-19.06-V4.14 refers to a tag in the format LSDK-<LSDK version>-V<kernel version> $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig lsdk.config If you want to make changes to the device tree, open and edit arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1043a-rdb.dts $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- The binary kernel image Image and compressed kernel image Image.gz are in arch/arm64/boot/. The device tree blob fsl-ls1043a-rdb.dtb is in arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/. Copying the compiled kernel images and device tree to the SD card Plug the SD card into the Linux host machine. Mount the SD card partition that contains Linux kernel images and device tree. sudo mkdir <mount_location> sudo mount /dev/sdX <mount_location> Use the command cat /proc/partitions to see a list of devices and their sizes to make sure that the correct device names have been chosen. The SDHC storage drive in the Linux PC is detected as /dev/ sdX, where X is a letter such as a, b, c. Make sure to choose the correct device name, because data on this device will be replaced. If your Linux host machine supports read/write SDHC card directly without an extra SDHC card reader device, the device name of SDHC card is typically mmcblk0. Replace Image, Image.gz, and fsl-ls1043a-rdb.dtb on the SD card with the new files compiled in the steps above. sudo cp /linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image /linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz /linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1043a-rdb.dtb <mount_location> sudo umount /dev/sdX Plug the SD card into LS1043ARDB and boot the board to Ubuntu using the SD card.  If U-Boot does not find LSDK on the SD card, it will boot TinyDistro from lsdk_linux_arm64_tiny.itb stored on the SD card. You can confirm that Linux kernel and device tree is updated on the SD card by running this command and checking the timestamp. root@localhost:~# uname -a Linux localhost 4.14.104 #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 21 17:14:01 IST 2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Please note that the LSDK memory layout for TF-A boot flow explained in this topic is only applicable for LSDK 18.12 and newer releases.  The following table shows the memory layout of various firmware stored in NOR/NAND/QSPI flash device or SD card on all QorIQ Reference Design Boards. When the board boots from NOR flash, the NOR bank from which the board boots is considered as the "current bank" and the other bank is considered as the "alternate bank". For example, if LS1043ARDB boots from NOR bank 4, to update an image on NOR bank 0, you need to use the "alternate bank" address range,0x64000000 - 0x64F00000.

Trusted Firmware for Cortex-A (TF-A) is an implementation of EL3 secure firmware. TF-A replaces PPA in secure firmware role. Please note the steps listed in this topic can only be performed with LSDK 18.12 and newer releases.  Also the TF-A boot flow is applicable only for LS1088ARDB-PB. LS1088ARDB is not supported LSDK 18.12 release onwards. To migrate to the TF-A boot flow from the previous boot flow (with PPA), you need to compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_<boot_mode>.pbl and fip.bin, and flash these binaries on the specific boot medium on the board. For QSPI NOR flash boot, you need to compile the following TF-A binaries. TF-A binary name Components bl2_qspi.pbl BL2 binary: Platform initialization binary RCW binary for QSPI NOR flash fip.bin BL31: Secure runtime firmware BL32: Trusted OS, for example, OPTEE (optional) BL33: U-Boot/UEFI image Follow these steps to compile and deploy TF-A  binaries (bl2_qspi.pbl and fip.bin) in QSPI NOR flash. Compile PBL binary from RCW source file Compile U-Boot binary [Optional] Compile OPTEE binary  Compile TF-A binaries (bl2_qspi.pbl and fip.bin) for QSPI NOR flash Program TF-A binaries to QSPI NOR flash Step 1: Compile PBL binary from RCW source file  You need to compile the rcw_1600_qspi.bin binary to build the bl2_qspi.pbl binary. Clone the  rcw repository and compile the PBL binary.  $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/rcw $ cd rcw $ git checkout -b <new branch name> <LSDK tag>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.12 LSDK-18.12  $ cd ls1088ardb If required, make changes to the rcw files. $ make   The compiled PBL binary for QSPI NOR flash on LS1088ARDB-PB, rcw_1600_qspi.bin, is available at rcw/ls1088ardb/FCQQQQQQQQ_PPP_H_0x1d_0x0d/.   See the rcw/ls1088ardb/README file for an explanation of the naming convention for the directories that contain the RCW source and binary files. Step 2: Compile U-Boot binary You need to compile the u-boot.bin binary to build the fip.bin binary. Clone the u-boot repository and compile the U-Boot binary for TF-A. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/u-boot.git $ cd u-boot $ git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.12 LSDK-18.12  $ export ARCH=arm $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make distclean $ make ls1088ardb_tfa_defconfig $ make If the make command shows the error "*** Your GCC is older than 6.0 and is not supported", ensure that you are using Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit version for building LSDK 18.12 U-Boot binary.  The compiled U-Boot image, u-boot.bin, is available at u-boot/. Step 3: [Optional] Compile OP-TEE binary You need to compile the tee.bin binary to build fip.bin with OPTEE. However, OPTEE is optional, you can skip the procedure to compile OPTEE if you want to build the FIP binary without OPTEE. Clone the optee_os repository and build the OPTEE binary.  $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/optee_os $ cd optee_os $ git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.12 LSDK-18.12 $ export ARCH=arm $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make CFG_ARM64_core=y PLATFORM=ls-ls1088ardb $ aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -v -O binary out/arm-plat-ls/core/tee.elf out/arm-plat-ls/core/tee.bin The compiled OPTEE image, tee.bin, is available at optee_os/out/arm-plat-ls/core/. Step 4: Compile TF-A binaries for QSPI NOR flash Clone the atf repository and compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_qspi.pbl and fip.bin. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/atf $ cd atf $  git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.12 LSDK-18.12 $ export ARCH=arm $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Build BL2 binary with OPTEE. $ make PLAT=ls1088ardb bl2 SPD=opteed BOOT_MODE=qspi pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600_qspi.bin The compiled BL2 binaries, bl2.bin and bl2_qspi.pbl are available at atf/build/ls1088ardb/release/. For any update in the BL2 source code or RCW binary, the bl2_qspi.pbl binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the BL2 binary without OPTEE: make PLAT=ls1088ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=qspi pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600_qspi.bin Build FIP binary with OPTEE and without trusted board boot. $ make PLAT=ls1088ardb fip BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.bin SPD=opteed BL32=<path_to_optee_binary>/tee.bin The compiled BL31 and FIP binaries, bl31.bin, fip.bin, are available at atf/build/ls1088ardb/release/. For any update in the BL31, BL32, or BL33 binaries, the fip.bin binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the FIP binary without OPTEE and without trusted board boot: make PLAT=ls1088ardb fip BOOT_MODE=sd BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.bin To compile the FIP binary with trusted board boot, refer the read me at <atf repository>/plat/nxp/README.TRUSTED_BOOT Step 5: Program TF-A binaries to QSPI NOR flash Boot LS1088ARDB-PB from QSPI. Ensure that the switches are set to boot the board from QSPI. For booting from QSPI , SW1[1:8] + SW2[1] = 0011_0001_X Boot from QSPI NOR flash0: => qixis_reset For LS1088ARDB-PB, in boot log, you'll see: Board: LS1088ARDB-PB, Board Arch: V1, Board version: A, boot from QSPI:0 Please ensure that you are using LS1088ARDB-PB to flash the TF-A binaries, as LS1088ARDB is not supported LSDK 18.12 release onwards. Set up Ethernet connection When board boots up, U-Boot prints a list of enabled Ethernet interfaces.

Follow these steps to update the Linux kernel image and device tree on the SD card.  Compiling Linux kernel images and device tree On the Linux host, clone the repository with Linux kernel image and device tree: $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/linux $ cd linux $ git checkout -b <new branch> <start point> For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.09-V4.14 LSDK-18.09-V4.14 where LSDK-18.09-V4.14 refers to a tag in the format LSDK-<LSDK version>-V<kernel version> $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig lsdk.config If you want to make changes to device tree, open and edit arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1046a-rdb.dts $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- The binary kernel image Image and compressed kernel image Image.gz are in arch/arm64/boot/. The device tree blob fsl-ls1046a-rdb.dtb is in arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/. Copying the compiled kernel images and device tree to SD card Plug the SD card into the Linux host machine. List the disks that are accessible to the computer: $ cat /proc/partitions Use the command cat /proc/partitions to see a list of devices and their sizes to make sure that the correct device names have been chosen.  The SDHC storage drive in the Linux PC is detected as /dev/sdX, where X is a letter such as a, b, c. Make sure to choose the correct device name, because data on this device will be replaced.  If your Linux host machine supports read/write SDHC card directly without an extra SDHC card reader device, the device name of SDHC card is typically mmcblk0. Mount the SD card partition that contains Linux kernel images and device tree: $ sudo mount /dev/sdX  <mount_location> Replace Image, Image.gz, and fsl-ls1046a-rdb.dtb on the SD card with the new files compiled in the steps above. sudo cp linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1046a-rdb.dtb <mount_location> sudo umount /dev/sdX Plug the SD card into LS1046ARDB and boot the board to Ubuntu using the SD card: => cpld reset sd In boot log, you’ll see: Board: LS1046ARDB, boot from SD If U-Boot does not find LSDK on the SD card, it will boot TinyDistro from lsdk_linux_arm64_ tiny.itb stored on the SD card.

Follow these steps to update the DPAA2 MC firmware, DPC, and DPL images in QSPI NOR flash. qixis_reset boots the board from QSPI NOR flash0 and qixis_reset altbank boots the board from QSPI NOR flash1. sf probe 0:1 means that the alternate bank will be written to. So, if the board boots from QSPI NOR flash0 and sf probe 0:1 is entered at the U-Boot prompt, the commands that follow will program QSPI NOR flash1. Obtaining MC firmware Clone the qoriq-mc-binary repository. $ git clone https://github.com/NXP/qoriq-mc-binary.git $ cd qoriq-mc-binary/ls1088a/ $ git checkout -b <new branch name> <LSDK tag>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.09 LSDK-18.09 The prebuilt MC firmware image, mc_10.10.0_ls1088a_20180814.itb, is available at /qoriq-mc-binary/ls1088a/. Note that the name of the MC firmware image may vary depending on the release version used.  Obtaining DPC and DPL images Clone the mc-utils repository and compile the DPC and DPL images. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/mc-utils $ cd mc-utils $ git checkout -b <new branch name> <LSDK tag>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.09 LSDK-18.09 If required, make changes to the DPC and DPL files. $ make -C config/ The compiled dpc.0x1D-0x0D.dtb and dpl-eth.0x1D_0x0D.dtb images are available at /mc-utils/config/ls1088a/RDB/. Note that the name of the DPC and DPL images may vary depending on the release version used.  Flashing MC firmware, DPC, and DPL images to QSPI NOR flash Boot LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB from QSPI.

Trusted Firmware for Cortex-A (TF-A) is an implementation of EL3 secure firmware. TF-A replaces PPA in secure firmware role. In LS2088ARDB, Boot option switching between parallel NOR boot and QSPI NOR boot cannot be performed using commands. Boot option switching can be done by adjusting DIP switch settings and jumper settings on the Reference Design Board. For details, see Layerscape Software Development Kit User Guide.                        To migrate to the TF-A boot flow from the previous boot flow (with PPA), you need to compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_<boot_mode>.pbl and fip.bin, and flash these binaries on the specific boot medium on the board. For QSPI NOR flash boot, you need to compile the following TF-A binaries. TF-A binary name Components bl2_qspi.pbl BL2 binary: Platform initialization binary RCW binary for QSPI NOR flash fip.bin BL31: Secure runtime firmware BL32: Trusted OS, for example, OPTEE (optional) BL33: U-Boot/UEFI image Follow these steps to compile and deploy TF-A  binaries (bl2_qspi.pbl and fip.bin) in QSPI NOR flash. Compile RCW binary  Compile U-Boot binary [Optional] Compile OPTEE binary  Compile TF-A binaries (bl2_qspi.pbl and fip.bin) for QSPI NOR flash Program TF-A binaries to QSPI NOR flash Step 1: Compile RCW binary You need to compile the rcw_2000_qspi.bin binary to build the bl2_qspi.pbl binary. Clone the  rcw repository and compile the PBL binary.  $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/rcw $ cd rcw $ git checkout -b <new branch name> <LSDK tag>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.09 LSDK-19.09  $ cd ls2088ardb If required, make changes to the rcw files. $ make The compiled PBL binary for QSPI NOR flash on LS2088ARDB, rcw_2000_qspi.bin, is available at  rcw/ls2088ardb/FFFFFFFF_PP_HH_0x2a_0x41 See the rcw/ls2088ardb/README file for an explanation of the naming convention for the directories that contain the RCW source and binary files. Step 2: Compile U-Boot binary You need to compile the u-boot.bin binary to build the fip.bin binary. Clone the u-boot repository and compile the U-Boot binary for TF-A. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/u-boot.git $ cd u-boot $ git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.09 LSDK-19.09  $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make distclean $ make ls2088ardb_tfa_defconfig $ make If the make command shows the error "*** Your GCC is older than 6.0 and is not supported", ensure that you are using Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit version for building LSDK 18.12 and onwards U-Boot binary.  The compiled U-Boot image, u-boot.bin, is available at u-boot/. Step 3: [Optional] Compile OP-TEE binary You need to compile the tee.bin binary to build fip.bin with OPTEE. However, OPTEE is optional, you can skip the procedure to compile OPTEE if you want to build the FIP binary without OPTEE. Clone the optee_os repository and build the OPTEE binary.  $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/optee_os $ cd optee_os $ git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.09 LSDK-19.09 $ export ARCH=arm $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make CFG_ARM64_core=y PLATFORM=ls-ls2088ardb $ aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -v -O binary out/arm-plat-ls/core/tee.elf out/arm-plat-ls/core/tee.bin The compiled OPTEE image, tee.bin, is available at optee_os/out/arm-plat-ls/core/. Step 4: Compile TF-A binaries for QSPI NOR flash Clone the atf repository and compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_qspi.pbl and fip.bin. $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/atf $ cd atf $  git checkout -b <new branch name> LSDK-<LSDK version>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-19.09 LSDK-19.09 $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Build BL2 binary with OPTEE. $ make PLAT=ls2088ardb bl2 SPD=opteed BOOT_MODE=qspi BL32=<path_to_optee_binary>/tee.bin pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_2000_qspi.bin The compiled BL2 binaries, bl2.bin and bl2_qspi.pbl are available at atf/build/ls2088ardb/release/. For any update in the BL2 source code or RCW binary, the bl2_qspi.pbl binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the BL2 binary without OPTEE: make PLAT=ls2088ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=qspi pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_2000_qspi.bin               Build FIP binary with OPTEE and without trusted board boot. $ make PLAT=ls2088ardb fip BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.bin SPD=opteed BL32=<path_to_optee_binary>/tee.bin The compiled BL31 and FIP binaries, bl31.bin, fip.bin, are available at atf/build/ls2088ardb/release/. For any update in the BL31, BL32, or BL33 binaries, the fip.bin binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the FIP binary without OPTEE and without trusted board boot: make PLAT=ls2088ardb fip BOOT_MODE=sd BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.bin To compile the FIP binary with trusted board boot, refer the read me at <atf repository>/plat/nxp/README.TRUSTED_BOOT Step 5: Program TF-A binaries to QSPI NOR flash Boot LS2088ARDB from QSPI. Ensure that the switches and jumpers are set to boot the board from QSPI. For booting from QSPI: SW5[1:8] = 1111 1111 SW3[1:8] = 0011 0001 SW4[1:8] = 0011 1111 SW6[1:8] = 1111 1111 SW7[1:8] = 0100 1010 SW9[1:8] = 0100 0100 SW8[1:8] = 0111 1111 In addition to the above switch settings, make sure the following jumper settings are correct (for RDB Rev E and later).  J8 = 1-2 for QSPI boot, via onboard QSPI flash J8 = 2-3 for QSPI boot, via QSPI emulator J14 = 2-3, for QSPI boot For LS2088ARDB, in boot log, you'll see: Board: LS2088AE Rev1.1-RDB, Board Arch: V0, Board version: A, boot from vBank: 0 TF-A binaries can be loaded to LS2088ARDB from a TFTP server or from a mass storage device (SD, USB, or SATA). Option 1: Load TF-A binaries from the TFTP server Set up Ethernet connection When board boots up, U-Boot prints a list of enabled Ethernet interfaces. DPMAC1@xgmii, DPMAC2@xgmii, DPMAC3@xgmii, DPMAC4@xgmii, DPMAC5@xgmii, DPMAC6@xgmii, DPMAC7@xgmii, DPMAC8@xgmii Set server IP address to the IP address of the host machine on which you have configured the TFTP server.  => setenv serverip <ipaddress1> Set ethact and ethprime as the ethernet interface connected to the TFTP server. See LS2088ARDB Ethernet port mapping for the mapping of Ethernet port names appearing on the chassis front panel with the port names in U-Boot and Linux.                         => setenv ethprime <name of interface connected to TFTP server> For example: => setenv ethprime DPMAC3@xgmii => setenv ethact <name of interface connected to TFTP server> For example: => setenv ethact DPMAC3@xgmii Set IP address of the board. You can set a static IP address or, if the board can connect to a dhcp server, you can use the dhcp command.  Static IP address assignment: => setenv ipaddr <ipaddress2> => setenv netmask <subnet mask> => setenv gatewayip <gateway addr> Dynamic IP address assignment: => dhcp Save the settings. => saveenv Check the connection between the board and the TFTP server. => ping $serverip Using DPMAC3@xgmii device host 192.168.1.1 is alive Load TF-A binaries from the TFTP server For details about the flash image layout for TF-A binaries, refer LSDK memory layout for TF-A boot flow.

Follow these steps to update the Linux kernel image and device tree on the SD card.  Compiling Linux kernel images and device tree On Linux host, clone the repository with Linux kernel image and device tree: $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/linux $ cd linux $ git checkout -b <new branch> <start point> For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.09-V4.14 LSDK-18.09-V4.14 where LSDK-18.09-V4.14 refers to a tag in the format LSDK-<LSDK version>-V<kernel version> $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig lsdk.config If you want to make changes to the device tree, open and edit arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a-rdb.dts $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- The binary kernel image Image and compressed kernel image Image.gz are in arch/arm64/boot/. The device tree blob fsl-ls1088a-rdb.dtb is in arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/. Copying the compiled kernel images and device tree to the SD card Plug the SD card into the Linux host machine. sudo fdisk -l to list the disks that are accessible to the computer. Mount the SD card partition that contains Linux kernel images and device tree. sudo mkdir <mount_location> sudo mount /dev/sdX <mount_location> Use the command cat /proc/partitions to see a list of devices and their sizes to make sure that the correct device names have been chosen. The SDHC storage drive in the Linux PC is detected as /dev/ sdX, where X is a letter such as a, b, c. Make sure to choose the correct device name, because data on this device will be replaced. If your Linux host machine supports read/write SDHC card directly without an extra SDHC card reader device, the device name of SDHC card is typically mmcblk0. Replace Image, Image.gz, and fsl-ls1088a-rdb.dtb on the SD card with the new files compiled in the steps above. sudo cp /linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image /linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz /linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1088a-rdb.dtb <mount_location> sudo umount /dev/sdX Plug the SD card into LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB and boot the board to Ubuntu using the SD card. If U-Boot does not find LSDK on the SD card, it will boot TinyDistro from lsdk_linux_arm64_ tiny.itb stored on the SD card.

Follow these steps to update the PBL/RCW binary on the SD card.  Compiling PBL binary from RCW source file (optional) If user already has a PBL binary, this step can be skipped.   Clone the  rcw repository and compile the PBL binary.  $ git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/qoriq/qoriq-components/rcw $ cd rcw $ git checkout -b <new branch name> <LSDK tag>. For example, $ git checkout -b LSDK-18.09 LSDK-18.09  $ cd ls1088ardb If required, make changes to the rcw files. $ make   The default PBL binary for LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB is FCQQQQQQQQ_PPP_H_0x1d_0x0d/rcw_1600_qspi.bin.   See the rcw/ls1088ardb/README file for an explanation of the naming convention for the directories that contain the RCW source and binary files. SD card start block number for PBL/RCW binary Image  SD card start block number PBL/RCW binary 0x00008 = 8 Refer the Flash layout for old boot flow with PPA – LSDK 18.09 and older releases for complete listing of the SD card start block numbers for all LSDK firmware images. Programming PBL/RCW binary to SD card Plug the SD card into the Linux host. Run the following command on the Linux host: $ sudo dd if=rcw_1600_qspi.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=512 seek=8 conv=fsync Use the command cat /proc/partitions to see a list of devices and their sizes to make sure that the correct device names have been chosen. The SDHC storage drive in the Linux PC is detected as /dev/sdX, where X is a letter such as a, b, c. Make sure to choose the correct device name, because data on this device will be replaced. If your Linux host machine supports read/write SDHC card directly without an extra SDHC card reader device, the device name of SDHC card is typically mmcblk0.    Remove the SD card from the Linux host machine. On the LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB, ensure that the switches are set to boot the board from the SD card.  For booting from SD card, SW1[1:8] + SW2[1] = 0010_0000_0  Plug the SD card to the board and boot the board to Ubuntu. If U-Boot does not find LSDK on the SD card, it will boot TinyDistro from lsdk_linux_arm64_ tiny.itb stored on the SD card.

Flash DPC image: Load DPC image from the storage device => load mmc 0:2 80000000 <dpc image> For example: => load mmc 0:2 80000000 dpc.0x2A_0x41.dtb => print filesize Or => load usb 0:2 80000000 <image name> => print filesize Or => load scsi 0:2 80000000 <image name> => print filesize Program DPC image to NOR bank 4 (after booting from NOR bank 0): => erase 0x584E00000 +$filesize;cp.b 80000000 0x584E00000 $filesize Address 0x584E00000 is the location of DPC image in alternate NOR flash.  Refer Flash layout for new boot flow with TF-A for the complete flash memory layout. Boot from NOR bank 4: => qixis_reset altbank Ensure that SD card, USB flash drive, or SCSI hard disk installed with LSDK Ubuntu distribution is plugged into the board to boot the board to Ubuntu. If U-Boot does not find LSDK on a mass storage device, it will boot TinyDistro from lsdk_linux_arm64_tiny.itb stored in NOR flash.
