| U-Boot for LibreTech CCs
 | |
| ========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| LibreTech CC is a single board computer manufactured by Libre Technology
 | |
| with the following specifications:
 | |
| 
 | |
| V1:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - Amlogic S905X ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core SoC @ 1.5GHz
 | |
|  - ARM Mali 450 GPU
 | |
|  - 2GB DDR3 SDRAM
 | |
|  - 10/100 Ethernet
 | |
|  - HDMI 2.0 4K/60Hz display
 | |
|  - 40-pin GPIO header
 | |
|  - 4 x USB 2.0 Host
 | |
|  - eMMC, microSD
 | |
|  - Infrared receiver
 | |
|  - Jack for CVBS and Audio
 | |
| 
 | |
| V2:
 | |
| 
 | |
|  - Added SPI NOR
 | |
|  - Removed Jack
 | |
| 
 | |
| Schematics are available on the manufacturer website.
 | |
| 
 | |
| U-Boot compilation
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
 | |
|     $ make libretech-cc_defconfig
 | |
|     $ make
 | |
| 
 | |
| Use libretech-cc_v2_defconfig for v2.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Image creation
 | |
| --------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| To boot the system, u-boot must be combined with several earlier stage
 | |
| bootloaders:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * bl2.bin: vendor-provided binary blob
 | |
| * bl21.bin: built from vendor u-boot source
 | |
| * bl30.bin: vendor-provided binary blob
 | |
| * bl301.bin: built from vendor u-boot source
 | |
| * bl31.bin: vendor-provided binary blob
 | |
| * acs.bin: built from vendor u-boot source
 | |
| 
 | |
| These binaries and the tools required below have been collected and prebuilt
 | |
| for convenience at <https://github.com/BayLibre/u-boot/releases/>. These
 | |
| apply to both v1 and v2.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Download and extract the libretech-cc release from there, and set FIPDIR to
 | |
| point to the `fip` subdirectory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ export FIPDIR=/path/to/extracted/fip
 | |
| 
 | |
| Alternatively, you can obtain the original vendor u-boot tree which
 | |
| contains the required blobs and sources, and build yourself.
 | |
| Note that old compilers are required for this to build. The compilers here
 | |
| are suggested by Amlogic, and they are 32-bit x86 binaries.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ wget https://releases.linaro.org/archive/13.11/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
 | |
|     $ wget https://releases.linaro.org/archive/13.11/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
 | |
|     $ tar xvfJ gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
 | |
|     $ tar xvfJ gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2013.11_linux.tar.xz
 | |
|     $ export PATH=$PWD/gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.11_linux/bin:$PWD/gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2013.11_linux/bin:$PATH
 | |
|     $ git clone https://github.com/BayLibre/u-boot.git -b libretech-cc amlogic-u-boot
 | |
|     $ cd amlogic-u-boot
 | |
|     $ make libretech_cc_defconfig
 | |
|     $ make
 | |
|     $ export FIPDIR=$PWD/fip
 | |
| 
 | |
| Once you have the binaries available (either through the prebuilt download,
 | |
| or having built the vendor u-boot yourself), you can then proceed to glue
 | |
| everything together. Go back to mainline U-Boot source tree then :
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ mkdir fip
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl2.bin fip/
 | |
|     $ cp $FIPDIR/gxl/acs.bin fip/
 | |
|     $ cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl21.bin fip/
 | |
|     $ cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl30.bin fip/
 | |
|     $ cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl301.bin fip/
 | |
|     $ cp $FIPDIR/gxl/bl31.img fip/
 | |
|     $ cp u-boot.bin fip/bl33.bin
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/blx_fix.sh \
 | |
|     	fip/bl30.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/zero_tmp \
 | |
|     	fip/bl30_zero.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/bl301.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/bl301_zero.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/bl30_new.bin \
 | |
|     	bl30
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/acs_tool.pyc fip/bl2.bin fip/bl2_acs.bin fip/acs.bin 0
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/blx_fix.sh \
 | |
|     	fip/bl2_acs.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/zero_tmp \
 | |
|     	fip/bl2_zero.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/bl21.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/bl21_zero.bin \
 | |
|     	fip/bl2_new.bin \
 | |
|     	bl2
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl30_new.bin
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl31.img
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl3enc --input fip/bl33.bin
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bl2sig --input fip/bl2_new.bin --output fip/bl2.n.bin.sig
 | |
|     $ $FIPDIR/gxl/aml_encrypt_gxl --bootmk \
 | |
|     		--output fip/u-boot.bin \
 | |
|     		--bl2 fip/bl2.n.bin.sig \
 | |
|     		--bl30 fip/bl30_new.bin.enc \
 | |
|     		--bl31 fip/bl31.img.enc \
 | |
|     		--bl33 fip/bl33.bin.enc
 | |
| 
 | |
| and then write the image to SD with:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|     $ DEV=/dev/your_sd_device
 | |
|     $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1
 | |
|     $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.sd.bin of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=444
 | |
| 
 | |
| Note that Amlogic provides aml_encrypt_gxl as a 32-bit x86 binary with no
 | |
| source code. Should you prefer to avoid that, there are open source reverse
 | |
| engineered versions available:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. gxlimg <https://github.com/repk/gxlimg>, which comes with a handy
 | |
|    Makefile that automates the whole process.
 | |
| 2. meson-tools <https://github.com/afaerber/meson-tools>
 | |
| 
 | |
| However, these community-developed alternatives are not endorsed by or
 | |
| supported by Amlogic.
