|
|
The i.MX 8M family of applications processors based on Arm Corte-A53 and Cortex-M4
|
|
|
|
|
cores provide high-performance computing, power efficiency, enhanced system
|
|
|
|
|
reliability and embedded security needed to drive the growth of fast-growing
|
|
|
|
|
edge node computing, streaming multimedia, and machine learning applications.

|
imx8mq is dropped in TF-A CI build due to the small OCRAM size, but still actively
|
|
|
|
|
maintained in NXP official release.

Build Procedure
|
2019-05-22 11:22:44 +01:00
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
2018-10-27 17:12:34 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Prepare AARCH64 toolchain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Build spl and u-boot firstly, and get binary images: u-boot-spl.bin,
|
|
|
|
|
u-boot-nodtb.bin and dtb for the target board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Build TF-A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build bl31:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-01-08 20:37:18 +00:00
|
|
|
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make PLAT=<Target_SoC> bl31
|
2018-10-27 17:12:34 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Target_SoC should be "imx8mq" for i.MX8MQ SoC.
|
2019-03-06 09:15:06 +00:00
|
|
|
Target_SoC should be "imx8mm" for i.MX8MM SoC.
|
2019-11-28 05:16:33 +00:00
|
|
|
Target_SoC should be "imx8mn" for i.MX8MN SoC.
|
2020-06-03 07:28:45 +01:00
|
|
|
Target_SoC should be "imx8mp" for i.MX8MP SoC.

Deploy TF-A Images
|
2019-05-22 11:22:44 +01:00
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
2018-10-27 17:12:34 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TF-A binary(bl31.bin), u-boot-spl.bin u-boot-nodtb.bin and dtb are combined
|
|
|
|
|
together to generate a binary file called flash.bin, the imx-mkimage tool is
|
|
|
|
|
used to generate flash.bin, and flash.bin needs to be flashed into SD card
|
|
|
|
|
with certain offset for BOOT ROM. the u-boot and imx-mkimage will be upstreamed
|
|
|
|
|
soon, this doc will be updated once they are ready, and the link will be posted.

TBBR Boot Sequence
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When setting NEED_BL2=1 on imx8mm. We support an alternative way of
|
|
|
|
|
boot sequence to support TBBR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bootrom --> SPL --> BL2 --> BL31 --> BL33(u-boot with UEFI) --> grub
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This helps us to fulfill the SystemReady EBBR standard.
|
|
|
|
|
BL2 will be in the FIT image and SPL will verify it.
|
|
|
|
|
All of the BL3x will be put in the FIP image. BL2 will verify them.
|
|
|
|
|
In U-boot we turn on the UEFI secure boot features so it can verify
|
|
|
|
|
grub. And we use grub to verify linux kernel.

Measured Boot
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When setting MEASURED_BOOT=1 on imx8mm we can let TF-A generate event logs
|
|
|
|
|
with a DTB overlay. The overlay will be put at PLAT_IMX8M_DTO_BASE with
|
|
|
|
|
maximum size PLAT_IMX8M_DTO_MAX_SIZE. Then in U-boot we can apply the DTB
|
|
|
|
|
overlay and let U-boot to parse the event log and update the PCRs.
