How to use UART2 instead of UART1 on LS1043ARDB/LS1046ARDB.   1. Compile PBL binary from RCW source file 2. Compile U-Boot binary 3. Compile TF-A binaries (bl2_.pbl and fip.bin) 4. Program TF-A binaries on specific boot mode     1-COMPILE PBL BINARY FROM RCW SOURCE FILE   You have to create a new directory to compile the binaries that you need to create a TF-A binary You need to compile the rcw_<boot_mode>.bin binary to build the bl2_<boot_mode>.pbl binary.   Clone the rcw repository and compile the PBL binary.   1. $ git clone https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/rcw 2. $ cd rcw 3. $ cd ls1043ardb 4. $ make   Inside the directory called “RR_FQPP_1455” you can see some binaries with the next nomenclature: rcw_<freq>.bin Where “freq” is the frequency in MHz of the processor, the values of the frequency are 1200MHz, 1400MHz, 1500MHz, and 1600MHz   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   1. $ git clone https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/u-boot 2. $ cd u-boot 3. $ git checkout -b LSDK-21.08 LSDK-21.08 4. $ export ARCH=arm64 5. $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- 6. $ make distclean 7. $ nano configs/ls1043ardb_tfa_defconfig 7.1 change the bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200" for "console=ttyS1,115200" 7.2 add "CONFIG_CONS_INDEX=2 7. $ make ls1043ardb_tfa_defconfig 8. $ make   3 Compile TF-A binaries (bl2_.pbl and fip.bin) 1. $ git clone https://github.com/nxp-qoriq/atf 2. $ cd atf 3. $ git checkout -b LSDK-21.08 LSDK-21.08 4. $ export ARCH=arm64 5. $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- 6. $ nano plat/nxp/common/include/default/ch_3_2/soc_default_base_addr.h 6.1 Change the line "#define NXP_UART_ADDR 0x021C0000" for "#define NXP_UART_ADDR 0x021D0000" 6.2 Change the line "#define NXP_UART1_ADDR 0x021D0000" for "#define NXP_UART_ADDR 0x021C0000" 7. $ nano plat/nxp/common/include/default/ch_2/soc_default_base_addr.h 7.1 Change the line "#define NXP_UART_ADDR 0x021C0500" for "#define NXP_UART_ADDR 0x021C0600" 7.2 Change the line "#define NXP_UART1_ADDR 0x021C0600" for "#define NXP_UART_ADDR 0x021C0500"   The compiled BL2 binaries, bl2.bin and bl2_<boot mode>.pbl are available at atf/build/ls1043ardb/release/. NOTE: For any update in the BL2 source code or RCW binary, the bl2_<boot mode>.pbl binary needs to be recompiled   3.1 HOW TO COMPILE BL2 BINARY To compile the BL2 binary without OPTEE: make PLAT=<platform> bl2 BOOT_MODE=<boot_mode> pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/<rcw_binary_for_specific_boot_mode> To LS1043ARDB for SD boot: make PLAT=ls1043ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=sd pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/<rcw_freq.bin> To LS1043ARDB for NOR boot: make PLAT=ls1043ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=nor pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/<rcw_freq.bin> To LS1043ARDB for NAND boot: make PLAT=ls1043ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=nand pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/<rcw_freq.bin>   3.2 HOW TO COMPILE FIP BINARY   To compile the FIP binary without OPTEE and trusted board boot: $make PLAT=<platform> fip BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.bin   For LS1043ARDB: $make PLAT=ls1043ardb fip BL33=<path_to_u-boot_binary>/u-boot.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.   4 Program TF-A binaries on specific boot mode For that step you can use a tftp server, but it is easier with a USB formatted on FAT32.   You have to put the files “ bl2_<boot_mode>.pbl” and “fip.bin” in the usb and follow the steps to your boot mode.   4.1 Program TF-A binaries on IFC NOR flash For LS1043A, the steps to program TF-A binaries on IFC NOR flash are as follows:   1. Boot the board from the default bank. 2. Under U-boot prompt: => usb start 3. Flash bl2_nor.pbl: => fatload usb 0:1 $load_addr bl2_nor.pbl a. Alternate bank: => protect off 64000000 +$filesize && erase 64000000 +$filesize && cp.b $load_addr 64000000 $filesize b. Current bank: => protect off 60000000 +$filesize && erase 60000000 +$filesize && cp.b $load_addr 60000000 $filesize 4. Flash fip.bin: => fatload usb 0:1 $load_addr fip.bin a. Alternate bank: => protect off 64100000 +$filesize && erase 64100000 +$filesize && cp.b $load_addr 64100000 $filesize b. Current bank: => protect off 60100000 +$filesize && erase 60100000 +$filesize && cp.b $load_addr 60100000 $filesize 5. Reset your board: a. Alternate bank: cpld reset altbank b. Current bank: cpld reset   4.2 Program TF-A binaries on NAND flash   1. Boot the board from the default bank. 2. Under U-boot prompt: => usb start 3. Flash bl2_nand.pbl to NAND flash: => fatload usb 0:1 $load_addr bl2_nand.pbl => nand erase 0x0 $filesize;nand write $load_addr 0x0 $filesize; 4. Flash fip_uboot.bin to NAND flash: => fatload usb 0:1 $load_addr fip.bin => nand erase 0x100000 $filesize;nand write $load_addr 0x100000 $filesize; 5. Reset your board: => cpld reset nand   4.3 Program TF-A binaries on SD card   To program TF-A binaries on an SD card, follow these steps:   1. Boot the board from the default bank. 2. Under U-boot prompt: => usb start 3. Flash bl2_sd.pbl to SD card: => fatload usb 0:1 $load_addr bl2_sd.pbl => mmc write $ load_addr 8 A1 4. Flash fip.bin to SD card: => fatload usb 0:1 $load_addr bl2_sd.pbl => mmc write $load_addr 800 A1 5. Reset your board: => cpld reset sd Now the console should be out from UART2 port of the board.

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 NOR boot, you need to compile the following TF-A binaries. TF-A binary name Components bl2_nor BL2 binary: Platform initialization binary RCW binary for NOR 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_nor.pbl and fip.bin) on the NOR flash. Compile PBL binary from RCW source file Compile U-Boot binary [Optional] Compile OPTEE binary  Compile TF-A binaries (bl2_nor.pbl and fip.bin) for NOR boot Program TF-A binaries to the NOR flash Step 1: Compile PBL binary from RCW source file You need to compile the rcw_1600.bin binary to build the bl2_nor.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 NOR boot on LS1043ARDB, rcw_1600.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 NOR boot Clone the atf repository and compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_nor.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=nor BL32=<path_to_optee_binary>/tee.bin pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600.bin The compiled BL2 images, bl2.bin and bl2_nor.pbl are available at atf/build/ls1043ardb/release/. For any update in the BL2 source code or RCW binary, the bl2_nor.pbl binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the BL2 binary without OPTEE: $ make PLAT=ls1043ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=nor pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600.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=nor 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 NOR 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 $serverip Using FM1@DTSEC4 device host 192.168.1.1 is alive   Load TF-A binaries from the TFTP server For details about the flash image layout for TF-A binaries, refer LSDK memory layout for TF-A boot flow.                               Flash bl2_nor.pbl in NOR bank 4. => tftp 82000000 bl2_nor.pbl => erase 64000000 +$filesize;cp.b 82000000 64000000 $filesize Flash fip.bin in NOR bank 4. => tftp 82000000 fip.bin => erase 64100000 +$filesize;cp.b 82000000 64100000 $filesize Boot from NOR bank 4: => cpld reset altbank LS1043ARDB will boot with TF-A.

This how-to topic is applicable only to LSDK 18.09 and older releases. For LSDK 18.12 and newer releases, refer Deploying TF-A binaries in Layerscape Software Development Kit <version> Documentation. Follow these steps to update the PBL/RCW binary on the SD card.  Compiling PBL binary from RCW source file (optional) If the 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 ls1046ardb If required, make changes to the rcw files. $ make   The default PBL binary for LS1046ARDB is RR_FFSSPPPH_1133_5559/rcw_1800_qspiboot.bin.swapped. By default, the QSPI controller on LS1046A reads/writes in 64-bit big endian (BE) mode. This makes it necessary to use a byte swapped PBL binary image, for example, rcw_1800_qspiboot.bin.swapped. The last PBI command in rcw_1800_qspiboot.bin.swapped is a write to the QPSI_MCR register that changes the endianness of QSPI controller to 64-bit little endian (LE). With this change, subsequent accesses are made in little endian format. See the rcw/ls1046ardb/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 boot flow with PPA – LSDK 18.09 and older releases for a 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_1800_qspiboot.bin.swapped 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. Plug the SD card into LS1046ARDB and boot the board to Ubuntu using the SD card. You can boot the board using the SD card either by: setting the switches: SW3[1:8] = 01001110 and SW5 [1:8] = 00100000, or boot switching to 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.

FlexSPI controller is new IP from Microcontroller group and it will replace QSPI in all future SoCs. FlexSPI is superset and superior to QSPI. Most of the feature set of FlexSPI and QSPI are same, but there are few difference related to IO signal width, command set, default LUT programming and Hyperflash support. FlexSPI has AHB and IP bus interface. AHB 64-bit interface and is mainly use for READ and WRITE flash operation whereas IP is 32-bit interface and it supports all flash operation – READ, WRITE, STATUS CHECK, GET PARAMS etc. FlexSPI programs various commands in LUT and these commands sequence are trigger when we do AHB/IP bus READ/WRITE operation. This documents introduces FlexSPI controller, FlexSPI serial NOR driver implementation and FlexSPI serial NAND driver implementation.  1. FlexSPI Controller Introdunction 1.1 FlexSPI Connections 1.2 FlexSPI Command Interfaces 1.3 FlexSPI Look Up Table(LUT) 1.4 FlexSPI Command Set (Programmable Sequence Engine)   2.

On successful probing of the DSA Felix switch, each available front panel switch port should have a network device interface attached with the swpX name format. The ip link show command uses the swpX@enoY name format to also indicate the associated master Ethernet interface for the DSA switch port, which corresponds to an internal ENETC interface, usually the eno2 (Port2) for the LS1028A SoC. LS1028 Interface naming in Linux Single port mode Bridge mode

In Linux, only one MAC is created by default as a standard kernel Ethernet interface. This interface is named eth0 by default (or eth1 if PCI Express network interface card is discovered first). The following figure shows the Ethernet port (ETH8) that eth0 (or eth1) corresponds to, on LS1088ARDB.  The following figure shows the Ethernet port (DPMAC5) that eth0 (or eth1) corresponds to, on LS1088ARDB-PB. Only one interface is created by default because in DPAA2, Ethernet ports need not be associated with Linux kernel Ethernet driver instances. For example, Ethernet ports can be assigned as ports on switches or can be allocated to user space. Furthermore, these associations can be made dynamically.  From Linux, you can list the available interfaces using the ifconfig -a command or the ip link command. For example: $ ip link 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1000     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000     link/ether 68:05:ca:36:96:6a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: sit0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop qlen 1000     link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000     link/ether 6e:01:3f:a2:04:b6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff In this example, Linux eth1 corresponds to Ethernet port DPMAC5 (ETH8) on LS1088ARDB. Create network interfaces Check the network interfaces that are currently available using Layerscape script ls-listni. For example: $ ls-listni dprc.1/dpni.0 (interface: eth1, end point: dpmac.5) The default interface DPNI.0 is configured with a minimal set of resources. For example, it can only receive traffic on GPP0 and its intended uses are network boot and low-bandwidth traffic. For fully-featured DPNI objects, dynamic configuration (explained in upcoming steps) is recommended. Optional - Unbind and destroy existing interface.  $ echo dpni.0 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/fsl_dpaa2_eth/unbind $ restool dpni destroy dpni.0 dpni.0 is destroyed The restool utility is a Linux user space command that allows DPAA2 objects to be managed (created, destroyed, and queried for status). Add new network interfaces using Layerscape script ls-addni. For example: $ ls-addni dpmac.3 Created interface: eth1 (object:dpni.0, endpoint: dpmac.3) $ ls-addni dpmac.4 Created interface: eth2 (object:dpni.1, endpoint: dpmac.4)   Check that new interfaces are created using the ifconfig -a or ip link command. Enable the newly created interfaces using the ifconfig command For example: ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.23 up ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.24 up Optional - Save current configuration to a Data Path Layout (DPL) file DPL file is used to create DPAA2 entities prior to Linux boot. To save the current configuration to a DPL file, follow the steps below. After creating the custom DPL, you can program it to the boot source (for example, QSPI NOR flash or SD card) so that the configuration is present automatically next time Linux boots. In this case, the existing DPL is replaced with the updated DPL file. Save this custom configuration to a DPL file (.dts format) on the board. $ restool dprc generate-dpl dprc.1 > <my_dpl>.dts Copy the DPL file to the Linux host machine. You can SCP the file from the board to the Linux host machine. Run following command to convert it to the .dtb format. $ dtc -I dts -O dtb <my_dpl>.dts -o <my_dpl>.dtb For steps to program the new DPL file in the QSPI NOR flash or on the SD card, see LS1088ARDB - How to update MC firmware, DPC, and DPL images in QSPI NOR flash or LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB - How to update MC firmware, DPC, and DPL images on SD card.

This how-to topic is applicable only for LSDK 18.09 and older releases.  For LSDK 18.12 and newer releases, refer LS1088ARDB-PB - How to deploy TF-A binaries in QSPI NOR flash. Follow these steps to update the U-Boot binary in QSPI NOR flash.  Prerequisites  Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit should be installed on the Linux host machine for building LSDK 18.06 or LSDK 18.09 U-Boot binary. 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.   Compiling U-Boot binary Clone the u-boot repository compile the U-Boot binary for QSPI boot. $ 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-18.09 LSDK-18.09  $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make distclean Run either of following depending on the board you are using:  For LS1088ARDB: $ make ls1088ardb_qspi_defconfig For LS1088ARDB-PB: make ls1088ardb_pb_qspi_defconfig If required, make changes to the U-Boot files. $ 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 18.06 or LSDK 18.09 U-Boot binary.  The compiled U-Boot image, u-boot.bin, is available at u-boot/. Flashing U-Boot binary to QSPI NOR flash Boot LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB from QSPI. Ensure that the switches are set to boot the board from QSPI. For booting from the QSPI, SW1[1:8] + SW2[1] = 0011_0001_X Boot from QSPI NOR flash0: => qixis_reset For example: For LS1088ARDB, in boot log, you’ll see: Board: LS1088A-RDB, Board Arch: V1, Board version: C, boot from QSPI:0 For LS1088ARDB-PB, in boot log, you'll see: Board: LS1088ARDB-PB, Board Arch: V1, Board version: A, boot from QSPI:0 U-Boot image can be loaded to LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB from a TFTP server or from a mass storage device (SD, USB, or SATA).

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. In the boot log, you will see: Fixed DDR on board NOTICE: 2 GB DDR4, 32-bit, CL=11, ECC off NOTICE: BL2: v1.5(release):LSDK-19.03 NOTICE: BL2: Built : 14:46:39, Jun 13 2019 NOTICE: BL31: v1.5(release):LSDK-19.03 NOTICE: BL31: Built : 14:52:37, Jun 13 2019 NOTICE: Welcome to LS1043 BL31 Phase U-Boot 2018.09 (Jun 13 2019 - 12:27:15 +0530) SoC: LS1043AE Rev1.1 (0x87920011) Clock Configuration: CPU0(A53):1600 MHz CPU1(A53):1600 MHz CPU2(A53):1600 MHz CPU3(A53):1600 MHz Bus: 400 MHz DDR: 1600 MT/s FMAN: 500 MHz Reset Configuration Word (RCW): 00000000: 08100010 0a000000 00000000 00000000 00000010: 14550002 80004012 e0106000 c1002000 00000020: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00038800 00000030: 00000000 00001100 00000096 00000001 Model: LS1043A RDB Board Board: LS1043ARDB, boot from NAND

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.

This how-to topic is applicable only to LSDK 18.09 and older releases. For LSDK 18.12 and newer releases, refer LS1088ARDB-PB - How to deploy TF-A binaries on SD card. Follow these steps to update U-Boot binary on the SD card.  Prerequisites  Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit should be installed on the Linux host machine for building LSDK 18.06 or LSDK 18.09 U-Boot binary.   Compiling U-Boot binary Clone the u-boot repository. $ 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-18.09 LSDK-18.09  $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make distclean Execute appropriate defconfig file: For LS1088ARDB: $ make ls1088ardb_sdcard_qspi_defconfig For LS1088ARDB-PB: $ make ls1088ardb_pb_sdcard_qspi_defconfig If required, make changes to the U-Boot files. $ 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 18.06 or LSDK 18.09 U-Boot binary.  The compiled U-Boot image, u-boot-with-spl.bin, is available at u-boot/. SD card start block number for U-Boot binary Image  SD card start block number U-Boot binary 0x00800 = 2048 Refer the Flash layout for boot flow with PPA – LSDK 18.09 and older releases for a complete listing of the SD card start block numbers for all LSDK firmware images.     Programming U-Boot binary to SD card Plug the SD card into the Linux host.
