Armada80x0McBin

SolidRun MacchiatoBin

Summary

This is a port of 64-bit TianoCore EDK II firmware for the SolidRun MacchiatoBin platform based on the Marvell ARMADA 8040 SoC.

Building the firmware

Prepare toolchain (for cross-compilation only):

1. Download the toolchain:

   wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.5-2019.12/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
   

2. After extracting, setup the path and compiler prefix to GCC5_AARCH64_PREFIX variable:

   export GCC5_AARCH64_PREFIX=<toolchain_path>/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
   

Prepare prerequisites

1. Create a new folder (directory) on your local development machine for use as your workspace. This example uses /work/git/tianocore, modify as appropriate for your needs.

   $ export WORKSPACE=/work/git/tianocore
   $ mkdir -p $WORKSPACE
   $ cd $WORKSPACE
   

2. Clone the Trusted Firmware repository:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}
   $ git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
   

3. Clone repository for auxiliary firmware on the SoC co-processors and checkout to binaries-marvell-armada-SDK10.0.1.0:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}
   $ git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/binaries-marvell.git
   $ cd binaries-marvell/
   $ git checkout -b binaries-marvell-armada-SDK10.0.1.0 origin/binaries-marvell-armada-SDK10.0.1.0
   

4. Clone the DDR training code from:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}
   $ git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell.git
   

Prepare EDKII environment:

Please follow instructions from "Obtaining source code" and "Manual building" from the top level edk2-platforms Readme.md.

Build EDKII:

1. Use below build command:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}
   $ build -a AARCH64 -t GCC5 -b RELEASE -D INCLUDE_TFTP_COMMAND -D X64EMU_ENABLE -p Platform/SolidRun/Armada80x0McBin/Armada80x0McBin.dsc
   

Build the final firmware image:

1. Set BL33 variable to path to EDK II output binary:

   $ export BL33=${WORKSPACE}/Build/Armada80x0McBin-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/ARMADA_EFI.fd
   

2. Export SCP_BL2 variable:

   $ export SCP_BL2=${WORKSKPACE}/binaries-marvell/mrvl_scp_bl2.img
   

3. Export compiler variables (for cross-compilation only):

   $ export ARCH=arm64
   $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain_path>/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
   

4. Build the image:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}/trusted-firmware-a/
   $ make LOG_LEVEL=20 MV_DDR_PATH=${WORKSPACE}/mv-ddr-marvell PLAT=a80x0_mcbin all fip mrvl_flash
   

The firmware image flash-image.bin can be found in build/a80x0_mcbin/release/ directory.
