Firmware Construction
- branch: JH7110_VisionFive2_devel
- config: starfive_visionfive2_defconfig
- Set CONFIG_DISTRO_DEFAULTS=y if you want to boot from the preload FDT.
- branch: master, platform=generic
- Required tools:
- spl_tool/create_spl
- uboot_its/visionfive2-uboot-fit-image.its
FW boot sequence:
- BootROM -> u-boot SPL -> openSBI (PLATFORM: generic) -> u-boot (as openSBI FW_PAYLOAD)
Example
#!/bin/bash # u-boot compile make -C u-boot -j8 ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-suse-linux- # opensbi compile make -C opensbi ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE=riscv64-suse-linux- \ PLATFORM=generic FW_PAYLOAD_PATH=../u-boot/u-boot.bin \ FW_FDT_PATH=../u-boot/arch/riscv/dts/starfive_visionfive2.dtb FW_TEXT_START=0x40000000 # spl cd tools/spl_tool ./create_sbl ../../u-boot/spl/u-boot-spl.bin 0x01010101 cd ../.. # u-boot payload cd tools/uboot_its cp ../../opensbi/build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_payload.bin . ../../u-boot/tools/mkimage -f visionfive2-uboot-fit-image.its -A riscv -O u-boot \ -T firmware visionfive2_fw_payload.img cd ../../ rm -rf build mkdir build cp tools/spl_tool/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out build/ cp tools/uboot_its/visionfive2_fw_payload.img build/
Firmware update to SPI flash
- Select the boot mode switch to RGPIO_0 = 0'b, RGPIO_1 = 0'b.
- Copy u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out and visionfive2_fw_payload.img to your tftp server.
- set the u-boot IP and the tftp server IP, for example:
setenv ipaddr 192.168.120.222; setenv serverip 192.168.120.99
- Run the following u-boot commands:
#SPI flash probe sf probe # Download and flash the u-boot SPL tftpboot 0xa0000000 ${serverip}:u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out sf update 0xa0000000 0x0 $filesize # Download and flash opensbi+u-boot-payload tftpboot 0xa0000000 ${serverip}:visionfive2_fw_payload.img sf update 0xa0000000 0x100000 $filesize
