1 Description 2 =========== 3 4 Poplar is the first development board compliant with the 96Boards Enterprise 5 Edition TV Platform specification. 6 7 The board features the Hi3798C V200 with an integrated quad-core 64-bit 8 ARM Cortex A53 processor and high performance Mali T720 GPU, making it capable 9 of running any commercial set-top solution based on Linux or Android. 10 11 It supports a premium user experience with up to H.265 HEVC decoding of 4K 12 video at 60 frames per second. 13 14 SOC Hisilicon Hi3798CV200 15 CPU Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 64 bit 16 DRAM DDR3/3L/4 SDRAM interface, maximum 32-bit data width 2 GB 17 USB Two USB 2.0 ports One USB 3.0 ports 18 CONSOLE USB-micro port for console support 19 ETHERNET 1 GBe Ethernet 20 PCIE One PCIe 2.0 interfaces 21 JTAG 8-Pin JTAG 22 EXPANSION INTERFACE Linaro 96Boards Low Speed Expansion slot 23 DIMENSION Standard 160120 mm 96Boards Enterprice Edition form factor 24 WIFI 802.11AC 2*2 with Bluetooth 25 CONNECTORS One connector for Smart Card One connector for TSI 26 27 At the start of the boot sequence, the bootROM executes the so called l-loader 28 binary whose main role is to change the processor state to 64bit mode. This 29 must happen prior invoking the arm trusted firmware: 30 31 l-loader --> arm_trusted_firmware --> u-boot 32 33 How to build 34 ============ 35 36 Code Locations 37 -------------- 38 39 - ARM Trusted Firmware: 40 `link <https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware>`__ 41 42 - l-loader: 43 `link <https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-l-loader.git>`__ 44 45 - u-boot: 46 `link <http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git>`__ 47 48 Build Procedure 49 --------------- 50 51 - Fetch all the above 3 repositories into local host. 52 Make all the repositories in the same ${BUILD\_PATH}. 53 54 - Prepare the AARCH64 toolchain. 55 56 - Build u-boot using poplar_defconfig 57 make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- poplar_defconfig 58 make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- 59 60 - Build atf providing the previously generated u-boot.bin as the BL33 image 61 make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip SPD=none PLAT=poplar 62 BL33=u-boot.bin 63 64 - Build l-loader (generated the final fastboot.bin) 65 1. copy the atf generated files fip.bin and bl1.bin to l-loader/atf/ 66 2. export ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE=${ATF_SOURCE_PATH) 67 3. make 68 69 Install Procedure 70 ----------------- 71 72 - Copy l-loader/fastboot.bin to a FAT partition on a USB pen drive. 73 74 - Plug the USB pen drive to any of the USB2 ports 75 76 - Power the board while keeping S3 pressed (usb_boot) 77 78 The system will boot into a u-boot shell which you can then use to write the 79 working firmware to eMMC. 80 81 Boot trace 82 ========== 83 84 Bootrom start 85 Boot Media: eMMC 86 Decrypt auxiliary code ...OK 87 88 lsadc voltage min: 000000FE, max: 000000FF, aver: 000000FE, index: 00000000 89 90 Entry boot auxiliary code 91 92 Auxiliary code - v1.00 93 DDR code - V1.1.2 20160205 94 Build: Mar 24 2016 - 17:09:44 95 Reg Version: v134 96 Reg Time: 2016/03/18 09:44:55 97 Reg Name: hi3798cv2dmb_hi3798cv200_ddr3_2gbyte_8bitx4_4layers.reg 98 99 Boot auxiliary code success 100 Bootrom success 101 102 LOADER: Switched to aarch64 mode 103 LOADER: Entering ARM TRUSTED FIRMWARE 104 LOADER: CPU0 executes at 0x000ce000 105 106 INFO: BL1: 0xe1000 - 0xe7000 [size = 24576] 107 NOTICE: Booting Trusted Firmware 108 NOTICE: BL1: v1.3(debug):v1.3-372-g1ba9c60 109 NOTICE: BL1: Built : 17:51:33, Apr 30 2017 110 INFO: BL1: RAM 0xe1000 - 0xe7000 111 INFO: BL1: Loading BL2 112 INFO: Loading image id=1 at address 0xe9000 113 INFO: Image id=1 loaded at address 0xe9000, size = 0x5008 114 NOTICE: BL1: Booting BL2 115 INFO: Entry point address = 0xe9000 116 INFO: SPSR = 0x3c5 117 NOTICE: BL2: v1.3(debug):v1.3-372-g1ba9c60 118 NOTICE: BL2: Built : 17:51:33, Apr 30 2017 119 INFO: BL2: Loading BL31 120 INFO: Loading image id=3 at address 0x129000 121 INFO: Image id=3 loaded at address 0x129000, size = 0x8038 122 INFO: BL2: Loading BL33 123 INFO: Loading image id=5 at address 0x37000000 124 INFO: Image id=5 loaded at address 0x37000000, size = 0x58f17 125 NOTICE: BL1: Booting BL31 126 INFO: Entry point address = 0x129000 127 INFO: SPSR = 0x3cd 128 INFO: Boot bl33 from 0x37000000 for 364311 Bytes 129 NOTICE: BL31: v1.3(debug):v1.3-372-g1ba9c60 130 NOTICE: BL31: Built : 17:51:33, Apr 30 2017 131 INFO: BL31: Initializing runtime services 132 INFO: BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world 133 INFO: Entry point address = 0x37000000 134 INFO: SPSR = 0x3c9 135 136 137 U-Boot 2017.05-rc2-00130-gd2255b0 (Apr 30 2017 - 17:51:28 +0200)poplar 138 139 Model: HiSilicon Poplar Development Board 140 BOARD: Hisilicon HI3798cv200 Poplar 141 DRAM: 1 GiB 142 MMC: Hisilicon DWMMC: 0 143 In: serial@f8b00000 144 Out: serial@f8b00000 145 Err: serial@f8b00000 146 Net: Net Initialization Skipped 147 No ethernet found. 148 149 Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 150 starting USB... 151 USB0: USB EHCI 1.00 152 scanning bus 0 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found 153 USB1: USB EHCI 1.00 154 scanning bus 1 for devices... 4 USB Device(s) found 155 scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found 156 scanning usb for ethernet devices... 1 Ethernet Device(s) found 157 158 USB device 0: 159 Device 0: Vendor: SanDisk Rev: 1.00 Prod: Cruzer Blade 160 Type: Removable Hard Disk 161 Capacity: 7632.0 MB = 7.4 GB (15630336 x 512) 162 ... is now current device 163 Scanning usb 0:1... 164 => 165 166
