U-Boot for the Technexion Pico i.MX8MQ
Quick Start
===========
- Build the TFA binary
- Get DDR and HDMI firmware
- Build U-Boot
- Boot
Get and Build the TFA blob
==========================
Note: srctree is U-Boot source directory
Get ATF from: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
branch: master
$ CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make PLAT=imx8mq bl31
$ cp build/imx8mq/release/bl31.bin $(builddir)
Get the DDR and HDMI firmware
=============================
$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-7.9.bin
$ chmod +x firmware-imx-7.9.bin
$ ./firmware-imx-7.9.bin
# Or use this to avoid running random scripts from the internet,
# but note that you must agree to the license the script displays:
# $ dd if=firmware-imx-7.9.bin of=firmware-imx-7.9.tar.bz2 bs=38868 skip=1
# $ tar -xf firmware-imx-7.9.tar.bz2
$ cp firmware-imx-7.9/firmware/hdmi/cadence/signed_hdmi_imx8m.bin $(builddir)
$ cp firmware-imx-7.9/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4*.bin $(builddir)
Build U-Boot
============
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-poky-linux-
$ make pico-imx8mq_defconfig
$ make flash.bin
Burn the flash.bin to MicroSD card offset 33KB
$ dd if=flash.bin of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=1024 seek=33
Or into eMMC from a running system
$ dhcp flash.bin && mmc write $loadaddr 0x42 0x800
Boot
