34 > wget http://snapshots.linaro.org/96boards/reference-platform/components/uefi-staging/latest/hikey960/release/hikey_idt
36 Get the SCP_BL2 lpm3.img binary. It is shipped as part of the UEFI source.
37 The latest version can be obtained from the OpenPlatformPkg repo.
39 > cp OpenPlatformPkg/Platforms/Hisilicon/HiKey960/Binary/lpm3.img ~/hikey960/bin/
44 > cd ~/hikey960/src/u-boot
45 > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- hikey960_defconfig
46 > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
47 > cp u-boot.bin ~/hikey960/bin/
49 Compile ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)
50 ==================================
52 > cd ~/hikey960/src/arm-trusted-firmware
53 > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip \
54 SCP_BL2=~/hikey960/bin/lpm3.img \
55 BL33=~/hikey960/bin/u-boot.bin DEBUG=1 PLAT=hikey960
57 Copy the resulting FIP binary
58 > cp build/hikey960/debug/fip.bin ~/hikey960/bin
62 > cd ~/hikey960/src/l-loader
63 > ln -sf ~/hikey960/src/arm-trusted-firmware/build/hikey960/debug/bl1.bin
64 > ln -sf ~/hikey960/src/arm-trusted-firmware/build/hikey960/debug/bl2.bin
65 > ln -sf ~/hikey960/src/arm-trusted-firmware/build/hikey960/debug/fip.bin
66 > ln -sf ~/hikey960/bin/u-boot.bin
67 > make hikey960 PTABLE_LST=linux-32g NS_BL1U=u-boot.bin
69 Copy the resulting binaries
70 > cp *.img ~/hikey960/bin
71 > cp l-loader.bin ~/hikey960/bin
73 These instructions are adapted from
74 https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/plat/hikey960.rst
79 Install ser2net. Use telnet as the console since UEFI in recovery mode
80 output window fails to display in minicom.
82 > sudo apt-get install ser2net
86 > sudo vi /etc/ser2net.conf
88 Append one line for serial-over-USB in #ser2net.conf
90 > 2004:telnet:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:115200 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT banner
94 > sudo killall ser2net
99 > telnet localhost 2004
101 And you could open the console remotely, too.
106 1. Boot Hikey960 into recovery mode as per the below document:
107 https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/consumer/hikey/hikey960/installation/board-recovery.md
109 Once Hikey960 is in recovery mode, flash the recovery binary:
112 > chmod +x ./hikey_idt
113 > sudo ./hikey_idt -c config -p /dev/ttyUSB1
115 Now move to the Hikey960 console and press `f` during UEFI boot. This
116 will allow the board to boot into fastboot mode. Once the board is in
117 fastboot mode, you should see the ID of the HiKey960 board using the
120 > sudo fastboot devices
122 1ED3822A018E3372 fastboot
126 Now, the images can be flashed using fastboot:
128 > sudo fastboot flash ptable ~/hikey960/bin/prm_ptable.img
129 > sudo fastboot flash xloader ~/hikey960/bin/sec_xloader.img
130 > sudo fastboot flash fastboot ~/hikey960/bin/l-loader.bin
131 > sudo fastboot flash fip ~/hikey960/bin/fip.bin
133 4. Set the "Boot Mode" switch to OFF position for normal boot mode.
134 Then power on HiKey960
136 Observe the console traces using UART6 on the Low Speed Expansion header:
