What is working (enough to boot a distro from SD card)
================================================================================
- UART
- SD card
- PSCI reset
- Environment in EXT4 partition 1 in SD card (check defconfig for details)
dont forget to insert the card in the SD slot before booting if you
are going to make mods to the environment
================================================================================
Build & Run instructions
================================================================================
1) Install mkbootimg and dtbTool from Codeaurora:
git://codeaurora.org/quic/kernel/skales
commit 8492547e404e969262d9070dee9bdd15668bb70f worked for me.
2) Setup CROSS_COMPILE to aarch64 compiler or if you use ccache just do
CROSS_COMPILE="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-"
3) cd to the u-boot tree
$ make dragonboard820c_config
$ make -j `nproc`
4) generate fake, empty ramdisk (can have 0 bytes)
$ touch rd
5) Generate qualcomm device tree table with dtbTool
$ dtbTool -o dt.img arch/arm/dts
6) Generate Android boot image with mkbootimg:
$ mkbootimg --kernel=u-boot-dtb.bin \
--output=u-boot.img \
--dt=dt.img \
--pagesize 4096 \
--base 0x80000000 \
--ramdisk=rd \
--cmdline=""
7) Reboot the board into fastboot mode
- plug the board micro-usb to your laptop usb host.
- reboot the board with vol- button pressed
8) Boot the uboot image using fastboot
$ fastboot boot u-boot.img
or flash it to the UFS drive boot partition:
$ fastboot flash boot u-boot.img
$ fastboot reboot
================================================================================
To boot a linux kernel from SDHCI with the ROOTFS on an NFS share:
================================================================================
1) create an EXT4 partition on the SD card (must be partition #1)
2) build the kernel image and dtb (documented extensively somewhere else)
3) copy the drivers to the NFS partition (ie: 192.168.1.2 /exports/db820c-rootfs)
4) add the u-boot headers to the image:
$ mkimage -A arm64 \
-O linux \
-C none \
-T kernel \
-a 0x80080000 \
-e 0x80080000 \
-n Dragonboard820c \
-d $kernel/arch/arm64/boot/Image \
uImage
5) copy the generated uImage and the device tree binary to the SD card EXT4
partition
$ cp uImage /mnt/boot/
$ cp apq8096-db820c.dtb /mnt/boot/
6) on the SD card create /extlinux/extlinux.conf as follows:
default nfs
prompt 1
timeout 10
LABEL nfs
MENU NFS entry
LINUX /uImage
FDT /apq8096-db820c.dtb
APPEND root=/dev/nfs rw \
nfsroot=192.168.1.2:/exports/db829c-rootfs,v3,tcp \
rootwait \
ip=dhcp consoleblank=0 \
console=tty0 \
console=ttyMSM0,115200n8 \
earlyprintk earlycon=msm_serial_dm,0x75b0000 \
androidboot.bootdevice=624000.ufshc \
androidboot.verifiedbootstate=orange \
androidboot.ver0
7) remove the SD card from the laptop and insert it back to the db820 board.
the SD card EXT4 partition#1 should contain:
/uImage
/apq8096-db820c.dtb
/extlinux/extlinux.conf
8) reboot the db820 board
