Build Procedure
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
1. Install the required tools for U-Boot
|
|
|
|
* install package needed in U-Boot makefile
|
|
(libssl-dev, swig, libpython-dev...)
|
|
|
|
* install ARMv7 toolchain for 32bit Cortex-A (from Linaro,
|
|
from SDK for STM32MP15x, or any crosstoolchains from your distribution)
|
|
(you can use any gcc cross compiler compatible with U-Boot)
|
|
|
|
2. Set the cross compiler::
|
|
|
|
# export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/arm-linux-gnueabi-
|
|
|
|
3. Select the output directory (optional)::
|
|
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/path/to/output
|
|
|
|
for example: use one output directory for each configuration::
|
|
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=stm32f4
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=stm32f7
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=stm32h7
|
|
|
|
you can build outside of code directory::
|
|
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=../build/stm32f4
|
|
|
|
4. Configure U-Boot::
|
|
|
|
# make <defconfig_file>
|
|
|
|
For example with <defconfig_file>:
|
|
|
|
- For **stm32f429 discovery** board : **stm32f429-discovery_defconfig**
|
|
- For **stm32f769 discovery** board with SPL: **stm32f769-disco_spl_defconfig**
|
|
- For **stm32f769 discovery** board without SPL: **stm32f769-disco_defconfig**
|
|
|
|
5. Configure the device-tree and build the U-Boot image::
|
|
|
|
# make DEVICE_TREE=<name> all
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
a) boot with SPL on stm32f746 discovery board::
|
|
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=stm32f746-disco
|
|
# make stm32f746-disco_spl_defconfig
|
|
# make all
|
|
|
|
b) boot without SPL on stm32f746 discovery board::
|
|
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=stm32f746-disco
|
|
# make stm32f746-disco_defconfig
|
|
# make all
|
|
|
|
c) boot on stm32h743 discovery board::
|
|
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=stm32h743-disco
|
|
# make stm32h743-disco_defconfig
|
|
# make all
|
|
|
|
d) boot on stm32h743 evaluation board::
|
|
|
|
# export KBUILD_OUTPUT=stm32h743-disco
|
|
# make stm32h743-eval_defconfig
|
|
# make all
|
|
|
|
6. U-Boot Output files
|
|
|
|
So in the output directory (selected by KBUILD_OUTPUT),
|
|
you can found the needed U-Boot files, for example::
|
|
|
|
- stm32f746-disco_defconfig = **u-boot-dtb.bin** and **u-boot.dtb**
|
|
|
|
- FSBL = u-boot-dtb.bin
|
|
|
|
- stm32f746-disco_spl_defconfig = **u-boot-dtb.bin**, **u-boot.dtb** and **u-boot-with-spl.bin**
|
|
|
|
- FSBL + SSBL = u-boot-with-spl.bin
|
|
- SSBL = u-boot-dtb.bin
|
|
|
|
7. Flash U-Boot files
|
|
|
|
Plug STM32 MCUs board using the USB ST-Link connector, hence it will expose
|
|
the flash area as a mass-storage. In this mass-storage you will find the
|
|
following files:
|
|
|
|
- DETAILS.TXT: give the bootrom version and build
|
|
- MBED.HTM: shortcul to the hardware board description web page from st.com.
|
|
|
|
Copy/paste the u-boot.bin or u-boot-with-spl.bin (in case of bootchain with SPL)
|
|
to this mass-storage. The "COM" LED will blink alternatively red and green during
|
|
the flash process. When done the board will reboot automatically.
|
|
|
|
In case of boot with SPL, by default SPL will try to load either a Linux
|
|
kernel (falcon mode) or, if the key "c" is maintained pressed, the main U-Boot.
