- U-Boot for LibreTech CC
- =======================
- LibreTech CC is a single board computer manufactured by Libre Technology
- with the following specifications:
- - 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
- Schematics are available on the manufacturer website.
- U-Boot compilation
- ------------------
- .. code-block:: bash
- $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
- $ make libretech-cc_defconfig
- $ make
- 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/>
- 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.
