Verdin iMX8M Mini Module

Quick Start

  • Build the ARM trusted firmware binary
  • Get the DDR firmware
  • Build U-Boot
  • Flash to eMMC
  • Boot

Get and Build the ARM Trusted Firmware (Trusted Firmware A)

$ echo "Downloading and building TF-A..."
$ git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
$ cd trusted-firmware-a

Then build ATF (TF-A):

$ make PLAT=imx8mm IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE=0x30860000 bl31
$ cp build/imx8mm/release/bl31.bin ../

Get the DDR Firmware

$ cd ..
$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.4.1.bin
$ chmod +x firmware-imx-8.4.1.bin
$ ./firmware-imx-8.4.1.bin
$ cp firmware-imx-8.4.1/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4*.bin ./

Build U-Boot

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
$ export ATF_LOAD_ADDR=0x920000
$ make verdin-imx8mm_defconfig
$ make flash.bin

Flash to eMMC

> tftpboot ${loadaddr} flash.bin
> setexpr blkcnt ${filesize} + 0x1ff && setexpr blkcnt ${blkcnt} / 0x200
> mmc dev 0 1 && mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x2 ${blkcnt}

As a convenience, instead of the last two commands one may also use the update U-Boot wrapper:

> run update_uboot

Boot

ATF, U-Boot proper and u-boot.dtb images are packed into FIT image, which is loaded and parsed by SPL.

Boot sequence is:

  • SPL ---> ATF (TF-A) ---> U-Boot proper

Output:

U-Boot SPL 2020.01-00187-gd411d164e5 (Jan 26 2020 - 04:47:26 +0100)
