The attached patch is to support Aquantia AQR107 in LS1043A.

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.

Follow these steps to update the Linux kernel image and device tree for LX2160ARDB on an SD card.  NOTE: Below steps are valid for both LX2160ARDB Rev 1.0 and Rev 2.0 revisions. STEP 1: 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-20.04-V5.4 LSDK-20.04-V5.4 where LSDK-20.04-V5.4 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-lx2160a-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-lx2160a-rdb.dtb is in arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/. STEP2: 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> For example: $ sudo mkdir /carddata $ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /carddata   NOTE: Use the command cat /proc/partitions to see the list of devices, their partitions along with their sizes to make sure that the correct device and partition name have been chosen. The eMMC 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 SD card directly without an extra SD card reader device, the device name of SD card is typically mmcblk0. In general, the Linux kernel images and device tree are stored in the second partition of the SD device (mmcblk0p2). For detail on storage layout on SD/eMMC/USB/SATA for LSDK images deployment, refer to section "LSDK memory layout and Userland" in Layerscape Software Development Kit User Guide. Replace Image, Image.gz, and fsl-lx2160a-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-lx2160a-rdb.dtb <mount_location> For example: $sudo cp /linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image /linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz /linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-lx2160a-rdb.dtb /carddata Unmount the card. For example: sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p2 Plug the SD card into LX2160ARDB and boot the board. At U-Boot, run the following command to boot the board to LSDK distro using the SD card. => run bootcmd_mmc0 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 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/.

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 FMan ucode image from the TFTP server Flash the FMan ucode image: => tftp 0xa0000000 fsl_fman_ucode_ls1043_r1.1_<ucode version>.bin Program the FMan ucode image to SD card: => mmc write 0xa0000000 0x04800 <blk_cnt> Address  0x04800 is the SD card block number for the FMan ucode image.  ReferFlash layout for new boot flow with TF-A for the complete flash memory layout. Here, blk_cnt refers to number of blocks in SD card that need to be written as per the file size. For example, when you load FMan ucode from the TFTP server, if the bytes transferred is 37560 (92b8 hex), then blk_cnt is calculated as "37560/512 = 73 (49 hex)" + "few sectors for rounding up so that last block is not missed". So, if you round up by 5 (5 hex) sectors, for this example, mmc write command will be: => mmc write 0xa0000000 0x04800 4E You can boot the board using the SD card either by: setting the switches: SW3[1:8] = 10110011, SW4 [1:8] =00100000 , SW5 [1:8] = 00100010, or boot switching to SD card => cpld reset sd In boot log, you’ll see: Board: LS1043ARDB, boot from SD You can check the following code line in the boot log to confirm that the DPAA1 FMan ucode image on the SD card is updated.

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 topic explains steps to compile and execute Hello World program (in C) on a Layerscape board. Similarly, you can execute other custom applications on your board. Create a Hello World program in C.  Copy this file (.c) on a Ubuntu machine (using WinSCP). Run the following command to convert the .c file into a binary file. $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc <.c file> -o <binary file> For example: $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc Hello_World.c -o Hello_World Note: You can use this command in the same directory in which .c file is present or provide path of this file. Connect to the board console on which you want to execute the custom application via terminal and boot the board with LITB. Note: It is suggested to boot the board with Tiny Linux for executing custom application.  => tftp 0xa0000000 lsdk2004_yocto_tiny_LS_arm64.itb Using e1000#0 device TFTP from server 192.168.3.1; our IP address is 192.168.3.142 Filename 'lsdk2004_yocto_tiny_LS_arm64.itb'.

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 SD boot, you need to compile the following TF-A binaries. TF-A binary name Components bl2_sd.pbl BL2 binary: Platform initialization binary RCW binary for SD 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_sd.pbl and fip.bin) on the SD card. Compile PBL binary from RCW source file Compile U-Boot binary [Optional] Compile OPTEE binary  Compile TF-A binaries (bl2_sd.pbl and fip.bin) for SD boot Program TF-A binaries to the SD card Step 1: Compile PBL binary from RCW source file You need to compile the rcw_1600_sd.bin binary to build the bl2_sd.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 SD boot on LS1088ARDB-PB, rcw_1600_sd.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 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-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 SD boot Clone the atf repository and compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_sd.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=sd pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600_sd.bin The compiled BL2 images, bl2.bin and bl2_sd.pbl are available at atf/build/ls1088ardb/release/. For any update in the BL2 source code or RCW binary, the bl2_sd.pbl binary needs to be recompiled. To compile the BL2 binary without OPTEE: $ make PLAT=ls1088ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=sd pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_1600_sd.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 SD card 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. DPMAC1@xgmii, DPMAC2@xgmii, DPMAC3@qsgmii, DPMAC4@qsgmii, DPMAC5@qsgmii, DPMAC6@qsgmii, DPMAC7@qsgmii, DPMAC8@qsgmii, DPMAC9@qsgmii, DPMAC10@qsgmii 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 LS1088ARDB/LS1088RDB-PB 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@qsgmii => setenv ethact <name of interface connected to TFTP server> For example: => setenv ethact DPMAC3@qsgmii 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 DPMAC3@qsgmii 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_sd.pbl: => tftp 82000000 bl2_sd.pbl => mmc write 82000000 8 <blk_cnt> Here, blk_cnt refers to number of blocks in SD card that need to be written as per the file size. For example, when you load bl2_sd.pbl from the TFTP server, if the bytes transferred is 82809 (14379 hex), then blk_cnt is calculated as 82809/512 = 161 (A1 hex). For this example, mmc write command will be: => mmc write 82000000 8 A1 Flash fip.bin: => tftp 82000000 fip.bin => mmc write 82000000 800 <blk_cnt> Here, blk_cnt refers to number of blocks in SD card that need to be written as per the file size. For example, when you load fip.bin from the TFTP server, if the bytes transferred is 1077157 (106fa5 hex), then blk_cnt is calculated as 1077157/512 = 2103 (837 hex). For this example, mmc write command will be: => mmc write 82000000 800 837 Boot from SD card: => qixis_reset sd LS1088ARDB-PB will boot with TF-A.

For LX2160ARDB Rev 1: $ cd lx2160ardb For LX2160ARDB Rev 2: $ cd lx2160ardb_rev2 If required, make changes to the rcw files. $ make   The compiled PBL binary for FlexSPI NOR flash on LX2160ARDB for core frequency 2000 MHz, platform frequency 700 MHz and DDR memory data rate 2900 MT/s, with serdes1 = 19 serdes2 = 5 serdes3 = 2, rcw_2000_700_2900_19_5_2.bin is available at: rcw/lx2160ardb/XGGFF_PP_HHHH_RR_19_5_2 (For LX2160ARDB Rev 1) rcw/lx2160ardb_rev2/XGGFF_PP_HHHH_RR_19_5_2 (For LX2160ARDB Rev 2) Note: See the rcw/lx2160ardb/README or rcw/lx2160ardb_rev2/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-20.04 LSDK-20.04  $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make distclean $ make lx2160ardb_tfa_defconfig $ make Note: 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 above 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-20.04 LSDK-20.04 $ export ARCH=arm $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make CFG_ARM64_core=y PLATFORM=ls-lx2160ardb $ 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 FlexSPI NOR flash Clone the atf repository and compile the TF-A binaries, bl2_flexspi_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-20.04 LSDK-20.04 $ export ARCH=arm64 $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Build BL2 binary with OPTEE. $ make PLAT=lx2160ardb bl2 SPD=opteed BOOT_MODE=flexspi_nor BL32=<path_to_optee_binary>/tee.bin pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_2000_700_2900_19_5_2.bin   The compiled BL2 binaries, bl2.bin and bl2_flexspi_nor.pbl are available at atf/build/lx2160ardb/release/. For any update in the BL2 source code or RCW binary, the bl2_flexspi_nor.pbl binary needs to be recompiled.   To compile the BL2 binary without OPTEE: make PLAT=lx2160ardb bl2 BOOT_MODE=flexspi_nor pbl RCW=<path_to_rcw_binary>/rcw_2000_700_2900_19_5_2.bin Build FIP binary with OPTEE and without trusted board boot. $ make PLAT=lx2160ardb 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/lx2160ardb/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=lx2160ardb fip BOOT_MODE=flexspi_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 FlexSPI NOR flash Boot LX2160ARDB from FlexSPI. Ensure that the switches are set to boot the board from FlexSPI. For booting from FlexSPI: SW1[1:8] = 1111 100X [X is 0 for FlexSPI NOR flash0 and X is 1 for FlexSPI NOR flash1] SW2[1:8] = 0000 0110 SW3[1:8] = 1111 1100 SW4[1:8] = 1011 1000 Boot from FlexSPI NOR flash0: => qixis_reset   For LX2160ARDB Rev 1, in boot log, you'll see: Board: LX2160ACE Rev1.0-RDB, Board version: B, boot from FlexSPI DEV#0   For LX2160ARDB Rev 2, in boot log, you'll see: Board: LX2160ACE Rev2.0-RDB, Board version: B, boot from FlexSPI DEV#0 Set up Ethernet connection When board boots up, U-Boot prints a list of enabled Ethernet interfaces.

On the LX2160ARDB, there are 2 25G SFP interfaces, but no 10G SFP interface. When customer want to test the 10G SFPs to evaluate the performance, they have to change the 25G SFP interfaces into 10G by reconfiguration the SW configuration. In this document, it will give details of configuring the LX2160ARDB to support the customer’s 10G SFP interfaces requirement with LSDK2108. At the end, an image will be generated to deployed into the SD card. Because SD card is a convenient way boot up LX2160ARDB, if one wrong move could brick the system, the customer could unplug the SD card to repeat the steps below.
