Hello everyone.
I have been trying to perform this task for several days:
Target:
I am working with the LS1043a board. I want to generate a Boot from SD for my platform. I would also like to insert a PBI command in the Boot (command to disable cores). To generate the boot I am using flex-builder, in particular flexbuild_lsdk1712. I saw from the documentation Layerscape Software Development Kit 17.12 Documentation, Rev. 0, 02/201 that it is possible to make the file firmware_ls1043ardb_uboot_sdboot.img with the following command: flex-builder -i mkfw -m ls1043ardb -b sd -B uboot.
I have already done such a thing using the latest version of flex-builder: flexbuild_lsdk2108
In fact, this link describes in detail all the steps necessary to obtain this result.
I want to do what I did with flexbuild_lsdk2108 with flexbuild_lsdk1712 as well.
I do this because I need to generate the boot from SD with U-Boot 2017 on it
Problem:
I can't find in the flexbuild_lsdk1712 directory the file rcw_1600_sdboot.rcw, in which I have to enter the command to turn off the cores under RCW:
.pbi
write 0xee0094, 0x0000000e
.end
Question:
Does the rcw_1600_sdboot.rcw file also exist in this old version of flex-builder (flexbuild_lsdk1712)?
If it exists where is it?
If it doesn't exist, what should I change to until it gets the same result as the new flex-builder version (flexbuild_lsdk2108)?
Thank you very much for your availability.
Solved! Go to Solution.
In LSDK1712, SD RCW(PBI) configuration file is in u-boot source code.
1. $ flex-builder -c u-boot -m ls1043ardb
Please go to u-boot source code folder packages/firmware/u-boot/, please modify board/freescale/ls1043ardb/ls1043ardb_pbi.cfg according to your requirement.
2. Please remove u-boot build folder and rebuild u-boot.
$ cd ~/flexbuild
$ rm -rf build/firmware/u-boot/ls1043ardb/
$ flex-builder -c u-boot -m ls1043ardb -b sd
3. Generate firmware image
$ flex-builder -i mkfw -m ls1043ardb -b sd -B uboot
I have to write:
#CORE DIS
09ee0094 0000000e
before
#flus PBI data
096100c0 000fffff
on the file ls1043ardb_pbi.cfg ?
#Configure Scratch register
09570600 00000000
09570604 10000000
#Alt base register
09570158 00001000
#Disable CCI barrier tranaction
09570178 0000e010
09180000 00000008
#USB PHY frequency sel
09570418 0000009e
0957041c 0000009e
09570420 0000009e
#Core DIS
09ee0094 0000000e
#flush PBI data
096100c0 000fffff
must be so in the end the content of that file?
The modification makes sense.
Thanks for your reply. I have found the solution.
