U-Boot for the Toradex Verdin iMX8M Mini Module Quick Start =========== - Build the ARM trusted firmware binary - Get the DDR firmware - Build U-Boot - Flash to eMMC - Boot Get and Build the ARM Trusted Firmware (Trusted Firmware A) =========================================================== $ echo "Downloading and building TF-A..." $ git clone -b imx_4.14.98_2.3.0 https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/imx-atf $ cd imx-atf Please edit `plat/imx/imx8mm/include/platform_def.h` so it contains proper values for UART configuration and BL31 base address (correct values listed below): #define BL31_BASE 0x910000 #define IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE 0x30860000 #define DEBUG_CONSOLE 1 Then build ATF (TF-A): $ make PLAT=imx8mm bl31 Get the DDR Firmware ==================== $ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.4.1.bin $ chmod +x firmware-imx-8.4.1.bin $ ./firmware-imx-8.4.1.bin $ cp firmware-imx-8.4.1/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4*.bin ./ Build U-Boot ============ $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- $ make verdin-imx8mm_defconfig $ make flash.bin Flash to eMMC ============= > tftpboot ${loadaddr} flash.bin > setexpr blkcnt ${filesize} + 0x1ff && setexpr blkcnt ${blkcnt} / 0x200 > mmc dev 0 1 && mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x2 ${blkcnt} As a convenience, instead of the last two commands one may also use the update U-Boot wrapper: > run update_uboot Boot ==== ATF, U-boot proper and u-boot.dtb images are packed into FIT image, which is loaded and parsed by SPL.
