CounterPillow: Create a guide on how to compile mainline U-Boot for Quartz64/SOQuartz

Create a guide on how to compile mainline U-Boot for Quartz64/SOQuartz

New page

This article guides you through compiling U-Boot for a [[Quartz64]] or [[SOQuartz]] device.

== Prerequisites ==

You will need either an x86 machine with an aarch64 cross-compiler installed, or an existing aarch64 system. You will also need the device tree compiler dtc, python3 (including setuptools and pyelftools), swig, GNU make and git.

On an x86_64 Arch Linux system, you can install the required dependencies with:

pacman -S --needed base-devel aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc aarch64-linux-gnu-binutils git dtc python-setuptools swig python-pyelftools

== Fetching The Repositories ==

Use git to clone the mainline U-Boot repository into the directory ''u-boot'':

git clone https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git

You can use <code>git checkout <var>tagname</var></code> to check out a specific git tag (release), you can list all of them with <code>git tag -l</code> (but do keep in mind we only have device support since v2023.10).

Then, also use git to clone the rockchip firmware binaries repository into the directory ''rkbin'':

git clone https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin.git

== Setting Up Your Environment ==

Next, we need to set two environment variables: <code>ROCKCHIP_TPL</code> for the DRAM init binary, and <code>BL31</code> for the ARM Trusted Firmware binary.

cd u-boot
export ROCKCHIP_TPL="$(ls ../rkbin/bin/rk35/rk3566_ddr_1056MHz_v*.bin | sort | tail -n1)"
export BL31="$(ls ../rkbin/bin/rk35/rk3568_bl31_v*.elf | sort | tail -n1)"

== Configuring U-Boot ==

First, we need to use the right default config for our device. Please choose <var>defconfig</var> from the following table depending on your device:

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
! scope="col" | Board
! scope="col" | defconfig
|-
| Quartz64 Model A || <code>quartz64-a-rk3566_defconfig</code>
|-
| Quartz64 Model B || <code>quartz64-b-rk3566_defconfig</code>
|-
| SOQuartz on Model A || <code>soquartz-model-a-rk3566_defconfig</code>
|-
| SOQuartz on Blade || <code>soquartz-blade-rk3566_defconfig</code>
|-
| SOQuartz on CM4 I/O Board || <code>soquartz-cm4-rk3566_defconfig</code>
|}

In the ''u-boot'' directory with your environment variables set, run:

make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- <var>defconfig</var>

with <var>defconfig</var> being the value from the previous table.

== Building U-Boot ==

In the ''u-boot'' directory, after configuring, and with your environment variables set, run:

make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -j$(nproc)

This will output a ''u-boot-rockchip.bin'', which is your freshly built SPL+U-Boot combined image.
