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.

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.

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.

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. Fman1: Uploading microcode version 106.4.18 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 document introduces how to configure RCW to support GPIO on LS1043 platform, how to configure Linux Kernel to load Linux GPIO driver to access GPIO from SYSFS and using loopback method to do verification on the target board. RCW configuration to support GPIO Configure GPIO driver in Linux Kernel Verify GPIO on the target board

On the LS1046ARDB, there are 2 1G SGMII with PHY, but sometimes customer want to get PHY-less connection to evaluate the performance, so they may have to change the non-fixed link properties into fixed-link by reconfiguration the SW configuration. In this document, it will give details of configuring the LS1046ARDB to support the fixed-link requirement with LSDK2108 focus on the DTS and Linux kernel. The ethernet MAC in this document is FM1 mEMAC6: 1AE_A000h. Because there is no PHY-less connection on board. We only provide the status when the MAC has been configured.

When customer only has SD/eMMC on the customer board, when they don’t have CWTAP in hand, how do they boot the customer board(bare board) after the board come back from the factory for the first time. This document describes the steps how to use the CMSIS-DAP in this situation as a reference for user.
