1TF-A Build Instructions for Marvell Platforms
2=============================================
3
4This section describes how to compile the Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) project for Marvell's platforms.
5
6Build Instructions
7------------------
8(1) Set the cross compiler
9
10    .. code:: shell
11
12        > export CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/aarch64-linux-gnu-
13
14(2) Set path for FIP images:
15
16Set U-Boot image path (relatively to TF-A root or absolute path)
17
18    .. code:: shell
19
20        > export BL33=path/to/u-boot.bin
21
22For example: if U-Boot project (and its images) is located at ``~/project/u-boot``,
23BL33 should be ``~/project/u-boot/u-boot.bin``
24
25    .. note::
26
27       *u-boot.bin* should be used and not *u-boot-spl.bin*
28
29Set MSS/SCP image path (mandatory only for Armada80x0)
30
31    .. code:: shell
32
33        > export SCP_BL2=path/to/mrvl_scp_bl2*.img
34
35(3) Armada-37x0 build requires WTP tools installation.
36
37See below in the section "Tools and external components installation".
38Install ARM 32-bit cross compiler, which is required for building WTMI image for CM3
39
40    .. code:: shell
41
42        > sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
43
44(4) Clean previous build residuals (if any)
45
46    .. code:: shell
47
48        > make distclean
49
50(5) Build TF-A
51
52There are several build options:
53
54- DEBUG
55
56        Default is without debug information (=0). in order to enable it use ``DEBUG=1``.
57        Must be disabled when building UART recovery images due to current console driver
58        implementation that is not compatible with Xmodem protocol used for boot image download.
59
60- LOG_LEVEL
61
62        Defines the level of logging which will be purged to the default output port.
63
64        LOG_LEVEL_NONE		0
65        LOG_LEVEL_ERROR		10
66        LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE	20
67        LOG_LEVEL_WARNING	30
68        LOG_LEVEL_INFO		40
69        LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE	50
70
71- USE_COHERENT_MEM
72
73        This flag determines whether to include the coherent memory region in the
74        BL memory map or not.
75
76- LLC_ENABLE
77
78        Flag defining the LLC (L3) cache state. The cache is enabled by default (``LLC_ENABLE=1``).
79
80- MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT
81
82        Build trusted(=1)/non trusted(=0) image, default is non trusted.
83
84- BLE_PATH
85
86        Points to BLE (Binary ROM extension) sources folder. Only required for A8K builds.
87        The parameter is optional, its default value is ``plat/marvell/armada/a8k/common/ble``.
88
89- MV_DDR_PATH
90
91        For A7/8K, use this parameter to point to mv_ddr driver sources to allow BLE build. For A37x0,
92        it is used for ddr_tool build.
93
94        Usage example: MV_DDR_PATH=path/to/mv_ddr
95
96        The parameter is optional for A7/8K, when this parameter is not set, the mv_ddr
97        sources are expected to be located at: drivers/marvell/mv_ddr. However, the parameter
98        is necessary for A37x0.
99
100        For the mv_ddr source location, check the section "Tools and external components installation"
101
102- DDR_TOPOLOGY
103
104        For Armada37x0 only, the DDR topology map index/name, default is 0.
105
106        Supported Options:
107            - DDR3 1CS (0): DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular (512MB); EspressoBIN (512MB)
108            - DDR4 1CS (1): DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular (512MB)
109            - DDR3 2CS (2): EspressoBIN V3-V5 (1GB)
110            - DDR4 2CS (3): DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular (4GB)
111            - DDR3 1CS (4): DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular (1GB)
112            - DDR4 1CS (5): EspressoBin V7 (1GB)
113            - DDR4 2CS (6): EspressoBin V7 (2GB)
114            - CUSTOMER (CUST): Customer board, DDR3 1CS 512MB
115
116- CLOCKSPRESET
117
118        For Armada37x0 only, the clock tree configuration preset including CPU and DDR frequency,
119        default is CPU_800_DDR_800.
120
121            - CPU_600_DDR_600	-	CPU at 600 MHz, DDR at 600 MHz
122            - CPU_800_DDR_800	-	CPU at 800 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
123            - CPU_1000_DDR_800	-	CPU at 1000 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
124            - CPU_1200_DDR_750	-	CPU at 1200 MHz, DDR at 750 MHz
125
126- BOOTDEV
127
128        For Armada37x0 only, the flash boot device, default is ``SPINOR``.
129
130        Currently, Armada37x0 only supports ``SPINOR``, ``SPINAND``, ``EMMCNORM`` and ``SATA``:
131
132            - SPINOR - SPI NOR flash boot
133            - SPINAND - SPI NAND flash boot
134            - EMMCNORM - eMMC Download Mode
135
136                Download boot loader or program code from eMMC flash into CM3 or CA53
137                Requires full initialization and command sequence
138
139            - SATA - SATA device boot
140
141- PARTNUM
142
143        For Armada37x0 only, the boot partition number, default is 0.
144
145        To boot from eMMC, the value should be aligned with the parameter in
146        U-Boot with name of ``CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART``, whose value by default is
147        1. For details about CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART, please refer to the U-Boot
148        build instructions.
149
150- WTMI_IMG
151
152        For Armada37x0 only, the path of the WTMI image can point to an image which
153        does nothing, an image which supports EFUSE or a customized CM3 firmware
154        binary. The default image is wtmi.bin that built from sources in WTP
155        folder, which is the next option. If the default image is OK, then this
156        option should be skipped.
157
158- WTP
159
160    For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to wtptools source code
161    directory, which can be found as a3700_utils.zip in the release. Usage
162    example: ``WTP=/path/to/a3700_utils``
163
164    For example, in order to build the image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level run
165
166    .. code:: shell
167
168        > make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 PLAT=<MARVELL_PLATFORM> all fip
169
170    And if we want to build a Armada37x0 image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level,
171    the image has the preset CPU at 1000 MHz, preset DDR3 at 800 MHz, the DDR topology of DDR4 2CS,
172    the image boot from SPI NOR flash partition 0, and the image is non trusted in WTP, the command
173    line is as following
174
175    .. code:: shell
176
177        > make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 \
178            MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT=0 DDR_TOPOLOGY=3 BOOTDEV=SPINOR PARTNUM=0 PLAT=a3700 all fip
179
180    Supported MARVELL_PLATFORM are:
181        - a3700 (for both A3720 DB and EspressoBin)
182        - a70x0
183        - a70x0_amc (for AMC board)
184        - a80x0
185        - a80x0_mcbin (for MacciatoBin)
186
187Special Build Flags
188--------------------
189
190- PLAT_RECOVERY_IMAGE_ENABLE
191    When set this option to enable secondary recovery function when build atf.
192    In order to build UART recovery image this operation should be disabled for
193    a70x0 and a80x0 because of hardware limitation (boot from secondary image
194    can interrupt UART recovery process). This MACRO definition is set in
195    ``plat/marvell/armada/a8k/common/include/platform_def.h`` file.
196
197- DDR32
198    In order to work in 32bit DDR, instead of the default 64bit ECC DDR,
199    this flag should be set to 1.
200
201For more information about build options, please refer to the
202:ref:`Build Options` document.
203
204

218
219Tools and external components installation
220------------------------------------------
221
222Armada37x0 Builds require installation of 3 components
223~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
224
225(1) ARM cross compiler capable of building images for the service CPU (CM3).
226    This component is usually included in the Linux host packages.
227    On Debian/Ubuntu hosts the default GNU ARM tool chain can be installed
228    using the following command
229
230    .. code:: shell
231
232        > sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
233
234    Only if required, the default tool chain prefix ``arm-linux-gnueabi-`` can be
235    overwritten using the environment variable ``CROSS_CM3``.
236    Example for BASH shell
237
238    .. code:: shell
239
240        > export CROSS_CM3=/opt/arm-cross/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi
241
242(2) DDR initialization library sources (mv_ddr) available at the following repository
243    (use the "mv_ddr-armada-atf-mainline" branch):
244
245    https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell.git
246
247(3) Armada3700 tools available at the following repository (use the latest release branch):
248
249    https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/A3700-utils-marvell.git

251Armada70x0 and Armada80x0 Builds require installation of an additional component
252~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
