Summary +========== +This is a quick instruction for setup Odroid boards based on Exynos4412. +Board config: odroid_config + +2. Supported devices +==================== +This U-BOOT config can be used on two boards: +- Odroid U3 +- Odroid X2 +with CPU Exynos 4412 rev 2.0 and 2GB of RAM + +3. Boot sequence +================ +iROM->BL1->(BL2 + TrustZone)->U-BOOT + +This version of U-BOOT doesn't implement SPL but it is required(BL2) +and can be found in "boot.tar.gz" from here: +http://dev.odroid.com/projects/4412boot/wiki/FrontPage?action=download&value=boot.tar.gz +or here: +http://odroid.in/guides/ubuntu-lfs/boot.tar.gz + +4. Boot media layout +==================== +The table below shows SD/eMMC cards layout for U-boot. +The block offset is starting from 0 and the block size is 512B. + ------------------------------------- +| Binary | Block offset| part type | +| name | SD | eMMC |(eMMC only)| + ------------------------------------- +| Bl1 | 1 | 0 | 1 (boot) | +| Bl2 | 31 | 30 | 1 (boot) | +| U-boot | 63 | 62 | 1 (boot) | +| Tzsw | 2111 | 2110 | 1 (boot) | +| Uboot Env | 2500 | 2500 | 0 (user) | + ------------------------------------- + +5. Prepare the SD boot card - with SD card reader +================================================= +To prepare bootable media you need boot binaries provided by hardkernel. +File "boot.tar.gz" (link in point 3.) contains: +- E4412_S.bl1.HardKernel.bin +- E4412_S.tzsw.signed.bin +- bl2.signed.bin +- sd_fusing.sh +- u-boot.bin + +This is all you need to boot this board. But if you want to use your custom +u-boot then you need to change u-boot.bin with your own u-boot binary* +and run the script "sd_fusing.sh" - this script is valid only for SD card. + +*note: +The proper binary file of current U-boot is u-boot-dtb.bin. + +quick steps for Linux: +- extract boot.tar.gz +- put any SD card into the SD reader +- check the device with "dmesg" +- run ./sd_fusing.sh /dev/sdX - where X is SD card device (but not a partition) +Check if Hardkernel U-boot is booting, and next do the same with your U-boot. + +6. Prepare the eMMC boot card + with a eMMC card reader (boot from eMMC card slot) +===================================================== +To boot the device from the eMMC slot you should use a special card reader +which supports eMMC partiion switch. All of the boot binaries are stored +on the eMMC boot partition which is normally hidden. + +The "sd_fusing.sh" script can be used after updating offsets of binaries +according to the table from point 4. Be sure that you are working on the right +eMMC partition - its size is usually very small, about 1-4 MiB. + +7. Prepare the eMMC boot card + with a SD card reader (boot from SD card slot) +================================================= +If you have an eMMC->microSD adapter you can prepare the card as in point 5. +But then the device can boot only from the SD card slot. + +8. Prepare the boot media using Hardkernel U-boot +================================================= +You can update the U-boot to the custom one if you have an working bootloader +delivered with the board on a eMMC/SD card. Then follow the steps: +- install the android fastboot tool +- connect a micro usb cable to the board +- on the U-boot prompt, run command: fastboot (as a root) +- on the host, run command: "fastboot flash bootloader u-boot-dtb.bin" +- the custom U-boot should start after the board resets. + +9. Partition layout +==================== +Default U-boot environment is setup for fixed partiion layout. + +Partition table: MSDOS. Disk layout and files as listed in the table below. + ----- ------ ------ ------ -------- --------------------------------- +| Num | Name | FS | Size | Offset | Reguired files | +| | | Type | MiB | MiB | | + ----- ------ ------ ------ -------- --------------------------------- +| 1 | BOOT | fat | 100 | 2 | kernel, fdt** | +| 2 | ROOT | ext4 | - | | any Linux system | + ----- ------ ------ ------ -------- --------------------------------- + +**note: +Supported fdt files are: +- exynos4412-odroidx2.dtb +- exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb + +Supported kernel files are: +- Image.itb +- zImage +- uImage + +The default environmental variable "dfu_alt_info" is set* for above layout. +Each partition size is just an example, dfu_alt_info tries init two partitions. +The size of each is not important. + +*note: +$dfu_alt_info is set on a boot time and it is concatenated using two variables: +- $dfu_alt_boot(set dynamically) +- $dfu_alt_system(from current env). + +To add any changes to dfu_alt_info - please modify $dfu_alt_system only. +Changes are visible after board reset. + +10. The environment and booting the kernel +========================================== +There are three macros defined in config for various boot options: +Two for both, kernel with device tree support and also without it: +- boot_uimg - load uImage +- boot_zimg - load zImage +If proper fdt file exists then it will be automatically loaded, +so for old kernel types, please remove fdt file from boot partition. + +The third boot option for multi image support (more info: doc/uImage.FIT/) +- boot_fit - for binary file: "Image.itb" + +Default boot command: "autoboot" +And the boot sequence is: +- boot_fit - if "Image.itb" exists +- boot_zimg - if "zImage" exists +- boot_uimg - if "uImage" exists -- cgit v1.2.1
