TF-A Build Instructions
======================
This section describes how to compile the ARM Trusted Firmware (TF-A) project for Marvell's platforms.
Build Instructions
------------------
(1) Set the cross compiler::
> export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/aarch64-linux-gnu-
(2) Set path for FIP images:
Set U-Boot image path (relatively to TF-A root or absolute path)::
> export BL33=path/to/u-boot.bin
For example: if U-Boot project (and its images) is located at ~/project/u-boot,
BL33 should be ~/project/u-boot/u-boot.bin
.. note::
u-boot.bin should be used and not u-boot-spl.bin
Set MSS/SCP image path (mandatory only for Armada80x0 and Aramada8xxy)::
> export SCP_BL2=path/to/mrvl_scp_bl2*.img
(3) Armada-37x0 build requires WTP tools installation.
See below in the section "Tools Installation for Armada37x0 Builds".
Install ARM 32-bit cross compiler, which is required by building WTMI image for CM3::
> sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
(4) Clean previous build residuals (if any)::
> make distclean
(5) Build TF-A:
There are several build options:
- DEBUG: default is without debug information (=0). in order to enable it use DEBUG=1
- LOG_LEVEL: defines the level of logging which will be purged to the default output port.
LOG_LEVEL_NONE 0
LOG_LEVEL_ERROR 10
LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE 20
LOG_LEVEL_WARNING 30
LOG_LEVEL_INFO 40
LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE 50
- USE_COHERENT_MEM: This flag determines whether to include the coherent memory region in the
BL memory map or not.
-LLC_ENABLE: Flag defining the LLC (L3) cache state. The cache is enabled by default (LLC_ENABLE=1).
- MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT: build trusted(=1)/non trusted(=0) image, default is non trusted.
- BLE_PATH:
Points to BLE (Binary ROM extension) sources folder. Only required for A8K and A8K+ builds.
The parameter is optional, its default value is "ble".
- MV_DDR_PATH:
For A7/8K, use this parameter to point to mv_ddr driver sources to allow BLE build. For A37x0,
it is used for ddr_tool build.
Usage example: MV_DDR_PATH=path/to/mv_ddr
The parameter is optional for A7/8K, when this parameter is not set, the mv_ddr
sources are expected to be located at: drivers/marvell/mv_ddr. However, the parameter
is necessary for A37x0.
- DDR_TOPOLOGY: For Armada37x0 only, the DDR topology map index/name, default is 0.
Supported Options:
- DDR3 1CS (0): DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular (512MB); EspressoBIN (512MB)
- DDR4 1CS (1): DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular (512MB)
- DDR3 2CS (2): EspressoBIN (1GB)
- DDR4 2CS (3): DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular (4GB)
- DDR3 1CS (4): DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular (1GB)
- CUSTOMER (CUST): Customer board, DDR3 1CS 512MB
- CLOCKSPRESET: For Armada37x0 only, the clock tree configuration preset including CPU and DDR frequency,
default is CPU_800_DDR_800.
- CPU_600_DDR_600 - CPU at 600 MHz, DDR at 600 MHz
- CPU_800_DDR_800 - CPU at 800 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
- CPU_1000_DDR_800 - CPU at 1000 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
- CPU_1200_DDR_750 - CPU at 1200 MHz, DDR at 750 MHz
- BOOTDEV: For Armada37x0 only, the flash boot device, default is SPINOR,
Currently, Armada37x0 only supports SPINOR, SPINAND, EMMCNORM and SATA:
- SPINOR - SPI NOR flash boot
- SPINAND - SPI NAND flash boot
- EMMCNORM - eMMC Download Mode
Download boot loader or program code from eMMC flash into CM3 or CA53
Requires full initialization and command sequence
- SATA - SATA device boot
- PARTNUM: For Armada37x0 only, the boot partition number, default is 0. To boot from eMMC, the value
should be aligned with the parameter in U-Boot with name of CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART, whose
value by default is 1.
For details about CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART, please refer to the U-Boot build instructions.
- WTMI_IMG: For Armada37x0 only, the path of the WTMI image can point to an image which does
nothing, an image which supports EFUSE or a customized CM3 firmware binary. The default image
is wtmi.bin that built from sources in WTP folder, which is the next option. If the default
image is OK, then this option should be skipped.
- WTP: For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to wtptools source code directory, which
can be found as a3700_utils.zip in the release.
Usage example: WTP=/path/to/a3700_utils
- CP_NUM: Total amount of CPs (South Bridge) chips wired to the interconnected APs.
When the parameter is omitted, the build is uses the default number of CPs equal to 2.
The parameter is valid for Armada 8K-plus SoC family (PLAT=a8xxy) and results in a build of images
suitable for a8xxY SoC, where "Y" is a number of connected CPs and "xx" is a number of CPU cores.
Valid values with CP_NUM is in a range of 0 to 8.
The CPs defined by this parameter are evenly distributed across interconnected APs that in turn
are dynamically detected. For instance, if the CP_NUM=6 and the TF-A detects 2 interconnected
APs, each AP assumed to have 3 attached CPs. With the same amount of APs and CP_NUM=3, the AP0
will have 2 CPs connected and AP1 - a just single CP.
For example, in order to build the image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level run::
> make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 PLAT=<MARVELL_PLATFORM> all fip
And if we want to build a Armada37x0 image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level,
the image has the preset CPU at 1000 MHz, preset DDR3 at 800 MHz, the DDR topology of DDR3 2CS,
the image boot from SPI NOR flash partition 0, and the image is non trusted in WTP, the command
line is as following::
> make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 SECURE=0 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 \
DDR_TOPOLOGY=2 BOOTDEV=SPINOR PARTNUM=0 PLAT=a3700 all fip
Supported MARVELL_PLATFORM are:
- a3700
- a70x0
- a70x0_amc (for AMC board)
- a70x0_cust (for customers)
- a80x0
- a80x0_mcbin (for MacciatoBin)
Special Build Flags
--------------------
- PLAT_RECOVERY_IMAGE_ENABLE: When set this option to enable secondary recovery function when build
atf. In order to build uart recovery image this operation should be disabled for a70x0 and a80x0
because of hardware limitation(boot from secondary image can interrupt uart recovery process).
This MACRO definition is set in plat/marvell/a8k/common/include/platform_def.h file
(for more information about build options, please refer to section 'Summary of build options' in TF-A user-guide:
https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/user-guide.md)
Build output
-------------
Marvell's TF-A compilation generates 7 files:
- ble.bin - BLe image
- bl1.bin - BL1 image
- bl2.bin - BL2 image
- bl31.bin - BL31 image
- fip.bin - FIP image (contains BL2, BL31 & BL33 (U-Boot) images)
- boot-image.bin - TF-A image (contains BL1 and FIP images)
- flash-image.bin - Image which contains boot-image.bin and SPL image; should be placed on the boot flash/device.
Tools Installation for Armada37x0 Builds
-----------------------------------------
Install a cross GNU ARM tool chain for building the WTMI binary.
Any cross GNU ARM tool chain that is able to build ARM Cortex M3 binaries
is suitable.
On Debian/Uboot hosts the default GNU ARM tool chain can be installed
using the following command::
> sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
If required, the default tool chain prefix "arm-linux-gnueabi-" can be
overwritten using the environment variable CROSS_CM3.
Example for BASH shell::
> export CROSS_CM3=/opt/arm-cross/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi
TF-A Porting Guide
=================
This section describes how to port TF-A to a customer board, assuming that the SoC being used is already supported
in TF-A.
Source Code Structure
---------------------
- The customer platform specific code shall reside under "plat/marvell/<soc family>/<soc>_cust"
(e.g. 'plat/marvell/a8k/a7040_cust').
- The platform name for build purposes is called "<soc>_cust" (e.g. a7040_cust).
- The build system will reuse all files from within the soc directory, and take only the porting
files from the customer platform directory.
Files that require porting are located at "plat/marvell/<soc family>/<soc>_cust" directory.
Armada-70x0/Armada-80x0 Porting
-------------------------------
- SoC Physical Address Map (marvell_plat_config.c):
- This file describes the SoC physical memory mapping to be used for the CCU, IOWIN, AXI-MBUS and IOB
address decode units (Refer to the functional spec for more details).
- In most cases, using the default address decode windows should work OK.
- In cases where a special physical address map is needed (e.g. Special size for PCIe MEM windows,
large memory mapped SPI flash...), then porting of the SoC memory map is required.
- Note: For a detailed information on how CCU, IOWIN, AXI-MBUS & IOB work, please refer to the SoC functional spec,
and under "docs/marvell/misc/mvebu-[ccu/iob/amb/io-win].txt" files.
- boot loader recovery (marvell_plat_config.c):
- Background:
boot rom can skip the current image and choose to boot from next position if a specific value
(0xDEADB002) is returned by the ble main function. This feature is used for boot loader recovery
by booting from a valid flash-image saved in next position on flash (e.g. address 2M in SPI flash).
Supported options to implement the skip request are:
- GPIO
- I2C
- User defined
- Porting:
Under marvell_plat_config.c, implement struct skip_image that includes specific board parameters.
.. warning:: to disable this feature make sure the struct skip_image is not implemented.
- Example:
In A7040-DB specific implementation (plat/marvell/a8k/a70x0/board/marvell_plat_config.c),
the image skip is implemented using GPIO: mpp 33 (SW5).
Before resetting the board make sure there is a valid image on the next flash address:
-tftp [valid address] flash-image.bin
-sf update [valid address] 0x2000000 [size]
Press reset and keep pressing the button connected to the chosen GPIO pin. A skip image request
message is printed on the screen and boot rom boots from the saved image at the next position.
- DDR Porting (dram_port.c):
- This file defines the dram topology and parameters of the target board.
- The DDR code is part of the BLE component, which is an extension of ARM Trusted Firmware (TF-A).
- The DDR driver called mv_ddr is released separately apart from TF-A sources.
- The BLE and consequently, the DDR init code is executed at the early stage of the boot process.
- Each supported platform of the TF-A has its own DDR porting file called dram_port.c located at
``atf/plat/marvell/a8k/<platform>/board`` directory.
- Please refer to '<path_to_mv_ddr_sources>/doc/porting_guide.txt' for detailed porting description.
- The build target directory is "build/<platform>/release/ble".
