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.

ls - Lists files in a directory (default) Usage:
ls <interface> [<dev[:part]> [directory]]
- Lists files in directory [directory] of partition [part] on device type [interface] and instance [dev]. If U-Boot does not support this command, then update the composite firmware image in QSPI NOR flash. For steps to update composite firmware image in QSPI NOR flash, see Layerscape Software Development Kit User Guide . Use the following command if the SD card is formatted/created using LSDK flex-installer command: => load <interface> [<dev[:part]> [<addr> [<filename> [bytes [pos]]]]]
For example: => load mmc 0:2 $load_addr bl2_qspi.pbl
Use the following command if the SD card is formatted/created on a Windows PC: => fatload <interface> [<dev[:part]> [<addr> [<filename> [bytes [pos]]]]]
For example: => fatload mmc 0:2 $load_addr bl2_qspi.pbl
Use the following command if the SD card is formatted/created on a Linux PC: => ext2load <interface> [<dev[:part]> [<addr> [<filename> [bytes [pos]]]]]
For example: => ext2load mmc 0:2 $load_addr bl2_qspi.pbl
Also note that LSDK flex-installer command puts the images on the IInd partition, so 0:2 is used in the load command. If the SD card is formatted on Windows PC or Linux PC for single partition only, then 0 should be used instead of 0:2 in the fatload/ext2load command. Load bl2_qspi.pbl image from the storage device => load mmc 0:2 0xa0000000 <image name> => print filesize For example: => load mmc 0:2 0xa0000000 bl2_qspi.pbl => print filesize filesize=14379 Or => load usb 0:2 0xa0000000 <image name> => print filesize Or => load scsi 0:2 0xa0000000 <image name> => print filesize Program bl2_qspi.pbl to QSPI NOR flash: => sf erase 0x0 +$filesize && sf write 0xa0000000 0x0 $filesize Load fip.bin image from the storage device => load mmc 0:2 0xa0000000 <image name> => print filesize For example: => load mmc 0:2 0xa0000000 fip.bin => print filesize filesize=131510 Or => load usb 0:2 0xa0000000 <image name> => print filesize Or => load scsi 0:2 0xa0000000 <image name> => print filesize Program fip.bin to QSPI NOR flash: => sf erase 0x100000 +$filesize && sf write 0xa0000000 0x100000 $filesize Boot from QSPI NOR flash: => reset LS2088ARDB will boot with TF-A.
