Marvell U-Boot Build Instructions ================================= This document describes how to compile the U-Boot and how to change U-Boot configuration Build Procedure ---------------- 1. Install required packages: # sudo apt-get install libssl-dev # sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler # sudo apt-get install swig libpython-dev 2. Set the cross compiler: # export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/aarch64-marvell-linux-gnu- 3. Clean-up old residuals: # make mrproper 4. Configure the U-Boot: # make <defconfig_file> - For the Armada-70x0/80x0 DB board use "mvebu_db_armada8k_defconfig" - For the Armada-80x0 MacchiatoBin use "make mvebu_mcbin-88f8040_defconfig" - For the Armada-3700 DB board use "make mvebu_db-88f3720_defconfig" - For the Armada-3700 EsspressoBin use "make mvebu_espressobin-88f3720_defconfig" 5. Configure the device-tree and build the U-Boot image: Compile u-boot and set the required device-tree using: # make DEVICE_TREE=<name> NOTE: Compilation with "mvebu_db_armada8k_defconfig" requires explicitly exporting DEVICE_TREE for the requested board. By default, u-boot is compiled with armada-8040-db device-tree. Using A80x0 device-tree on A70x0 might break the device. In order to prevent this, the required device-tree MUST be set during compilation. All device-tree files are located in ./arch/arm/dts/ folder. NOTE: The u-boot.bin should not be used as a stand-alone image. The ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF) build process uses this image to generate the flash image. Configuration update --------------------- To update the U-Boot configuration, please refer to doc/README.kconfig
