Apalis iMX8X V1.1A Module (SoC NXP i.MX8QXP RevB)
=================================================
Quick Start
-----------
- Get and Build the ARM trusted firmware
- Get System Controller firmware
- Get SECO container
- Build U-Boot
- Load U-Boot binary using uuu
- Flash U-Boot binary into the eMMC
- Boot
Note: builddir is U-Boot build directory (source directory for in-tree builds)
Get and Build the ARM Trusted Firmware
--------------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd $(builddir)
$ git clone -b toradex_imx_5.4.70_2.3.0 http://git.toradex.com/cgit/imx-atf.git
$ make PLAT=imx8qx bl31 -C imx-atf
$ cp imx-atf/build/imx8qx/release/bl31.bin $(builddir)
Get System Controller firmware
---------------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ wget https://github.com/toradex/i.MX-System-Controller-Firmware/raw/master/src/scfw_export_mx8qx_b0/build_mx8qx_b0/mx8qx-apalis-scfw-tcm.bin
Get SECO container
---------------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/imx-seco-3.7.4.bin
$ sh imx-seco-3.7.4.bin
$ cp imx-seco-3.7.4/firmware/seco/mx8qxb0-ahab-container.img $(builddir)/mx8qx-ahab-container.img
Build U-Boot
------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ make apalis-imx8x_defconfig
$ make u-boot-dtb.imx
Load the U-Boot Binary Using UUU
--------------------------------
Get the latest version of the universal update utility (uuu) aka ``mfgtools 3.0``:
https://community.nxp.com/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FNXPmicro%2Fmfgtools%2Freleases
Put the module into USB recovery aka serial downloader mode, connect USB device
to your host and execute uuu:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo ./uuu $(builddir)/u-boot-dtb.imx
Flash the U-Boot Binary into the eMMC
-------------------------------------
Burn the ``u-boot-dtb.imx`` binary to the primary eMMC hardware boot area
partition and boot:
.. code-block:: bash
load mmc 1:1 $loadaddr u-boot-dtb.imx
setexpr blkcnt ${filesize} + 0x1ff && setexpr blkcnt ${blkcnt} / 0x200
mmc dev 0 1
mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x0 ${blkcnt}
