U-Boot on Rockchip
==================
./firefly-rk3288/tools/mkimage -n rk3288 -T rksd -d \
firefly-rk3288/spl/u-boot-spl-dtb.bin out && \
sudo dd if=out of=/dev/sdc seek=64 && \
- sudo dd if=firefly-rk3288/u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/sdc seek=256
+ sudo dd if=firefly-rk3288/u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/sdc seek=16384
This puts the Rockchip header and SPL image first and then places the U-Boot
-image at block 256 (i.e. 128KB from the start of the SD card). This
+image at block 16384 (i.e. 8MB from the start of the SD card). This
corresponds with this setting in U-Boot:
- #define CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR 256
+ #define CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR 0x4000
Put this SD (or micro-SD) card into your board and reset it. You should see
something like:
=>
The rockchip bootrom can load and boot an initial spl, then continue to
-load a second-level bootloader(ie. U-BOOT) as soon as it returns to bootrom.
-Therefore RK3288 has another loading sequence like RK3036. The option of
-U-Boot is controlled with this setting in U-Boot:
+load a second-stage bootloader (ie. U-Boot) as soon as the control is returned
+to the bootrom. Both the RK3288 and the RK3036 use this special boot sequence.
+The configuration option enabling this is:
- #define CONFIG_SPL_ROCKCHIP_BACK_TO_BROM
+ CONFIG_SPL_ROCKCHIP_BACK_TO_BROM=y
You can create the image via the following operations:

+Booting from an SD card on RK3288 with TPL
+==========================================
+
+Since the size of SPL can't be exceeded 0x8000 bytes in RK3288, it is not possible add
+new SPL features like Falcon mode or etc.
+
+So introduce TPL so-that adding new features to SPL is possible because now TPL should
+run minimal with code like DDR, clock etc and rest of new features in SPL.
+
+As of now TPL is added on Vyasa-RK3288 board.
+
+To write an image that boots from an SD card (assumed to be /dev/mmcblk0):
+
+ ./tools/mkimage -n rk3288 -T rksd -d ./tpl/u-boot-tpl.bin out &&
+ cat ./spl/u-boot-spl-dtb.bin >> out &&
+ sudo dd if=out of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=64 &&
+ sudo dd if=u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=16384

Booting from an SD card on RK3188
=================================
The bootrom of rk3188 expects to find a small 1kb loader which returns
control to the bootrom, after which it will load the real loader, which
-can then be up to 29kb in size and does the regular ddr init.
+can then be up to 29kb in size and does the regular ddr init. This is
+handled by a single image (built as the SPL stage) that tests whether
+it is handled for the first or second time via code executed from the
+boot0-hook.
Additionally the rk3188 requires everything the bootrom loads to be
rc4-encrypted. Except for the very first stage the bootrom always reads
and decodes 2kb pages, so files should be sized accordingly.
# copy tpl, pad to 1020 bytes and append spl
-cat tpl/u-boot-tpl.bin > tplspl.bin
-truncate -s 1020 tplspl.bin
-cat spl/u-boot-spl.bin >> tplspl.bin
-tools/mkimage -n rk3188 -T rksd -d tplspl.bin out
+tools/mkimage -n rk3188 -T rksd -d spl/u-boot-spl.bin out
# truncate, encode and append u-boot.bin
truncate -s %2048 u-boot.bin
