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 A7K/8K/CN913x)
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- PLAT
55
56        Supported Marvell platforms are:
57
58            - a3700        - A3720 DB, EspressoBin and Turris MOX
59            - a70x0
60            - a70x0_amc    - AMC board
61            - a80x0
62            - a80x0_mcbin  - MacchiatoBin
63            - a80x0_puzzle - IEI Puzzle-M801
64            - t9130        - CN913x
65
66- DEBUG
67
68        Default is without debug information (=0). in order to enable it use ``DEBUG=1``.
69        Must be disabled when building UART recovery images due to current console driver
70        implementation that is not compatible with Xmodem protocol used for boot image download.
71
72- LOG_LEVEL
73
74        Defines the level of logging which will be purged to the default output port.
75
76            -  0 - LOG_LEVEL_NONE
77            - 10 - LOG_LEVEL_ERROR
78            - 20 - LOG_LEVEL_NOTICE (default for DEBUG=0)
79            - 30 - LOG_LEVEL_WARNING
80            - 40 - LOG_LEVEL_INFO (default for DEBUG=1)
81            - 50 - LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE
82
83- USE_COHERENT_MEM
84
85        This flag determines whether to include the coherent memory region in the
86        BL memory map or not. Enabled by default.
87
88- LLC_ENABLE
89
90        Flag defining the LLC (L3) cache state. The cache is enabled by default (``LLC_ENABLE=1``).
91
92- LLC_SRAM
93
94        Flag enabling the LLC (L3) cache SRAM support. The LLC SRAM is activated and used
95        by Trusted OS (OP-TEE OS, BL32). The TF-A only prepares CCU address translation windows
96        for SRAM address range at BL31 execution stage with window target set to DRAM-0.
97        When Trusted OS activates LLC SRAM, the CCU window target is changed to SRAM.
98        There is no reason to enable this feature if OP-TEE OS built with CFG_WITH_PAGER=n.
99        Only set LLC_SRAM=1 if OP-TEE OS is built with CFG_WITH_PAGER=y.
100
101- CM3_SYSTEM_RESET
102
103        For Armada37x0 only, when ``CM3_SYSTEM_RESET=1``, the Cortex-M3 secure coprocessor will
104        be used for system reset.
105        TF-A will send command 0x0009 with a magic value via the rWTM mailbox interface to the
106        Cortex-M3 secure coprocessor.
107        The firmware running in the coprocessor must either implement this functionality or
108        ignore the 0x0009 command (which is true for the firmware from A3700-utils-marvell
109        repository). If this option is enabled but the firmware does not support this command,
110        an error message will be printed prior trying to reboot via the usual way.
111
112        This option is needed on Turris MOX as a workaround to a HW bug which causes reset to
113        sometime hang the board.
114
115- MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT
116
117        Build trusted(=1)/non trusted(=0) image, default is non trusted.
118
119- BLE_PATH
120
121        Points to BLE (Binary ROM extension) sources folder.
122        Only required for A7K/8K/CN913x builds.
123        The parameter is optional, its default value is ``plat/marvell/armada/a8k/common/ble``.
124
125- MV_DDR_PATH
126
127        For A7K/8K/CN913x, use this parameter to point to mv_ddr driver sources to allow BLE build. For A37x0,
128        it is used for ddr_tool build.
129
130        Usage example: MV_DDR_PATH=path/to/mv_ddr
131
132        The parameter is optional for A7K/8K/CN913x, when this parameter is not set, the mv_ddr
133        sources are expected to be located at: drivers/marvell/mv_ddr. However, the parameter
134        is necessary for A37x0.
135
136        For the mv_ddr source location, check the section "Tools and external components installation"
137
138        If MV_DDR_PATH source code is a git snapshot then provide path to the full git
139        repository (including .git subdir) because mv_ddr build process calls git commands.
140
141- CP_NUM
142
143        Total amount of CPs (South Bridge) connected to AP. When the parameter is omitted,
144        the build uses the default number of CPs, which is a number of embedded CPs inside the
145        package: 1 or 2 depending on the SoC used. The parameter is valid for OcteonTX2 CN913x SoC
146        family (PLAT=t9130), which can have external CPs connected to the MCI ports. Valid
147        values with CP_NUM are in a range of 1 to 3.
148
149- DDR_TOPOLOGY
150
151        For Armada37x0 only, the DDR topology map index/name, default is 0.
152
153        Supported Options:
154            -    0 - DDR3 1CS 512MB (DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular, EspressoBin V3-V5)
155            -    1 - DDR4 1CS 512MB (DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular)
156            -    2 - DDR3 2CS   1GB (EspressoBin V3-V5)
157            -    3 - DDR4 2CS   4GB (DB-88F3720-DDR4-Modular)
158            -    4 - DDR3 1CS   1GB (DB-88F3720-DDR3-Modular, EspressoBin V3-V5)
159            -    5 - DDR4 1CS   1GB (EspressoBin V7, EspressoBin-Ultra)
160            -    6 - DDR4 2CS   2GB (EspressoBin V7)
161            -    7 - DDR3 2CS   2GB (EspressoBin V3-V5)
162            - CUST - CUSTOMER BOARD (Customer board settings)
163
164- CLOCKSPRESET
165
166        For Armada37x0 only, the clock tree configuration preset including CPU and DDR frequency,
167        default is CPU_800_DDR_800.
168
169            - CPU_600_DDR_600  - CPU at 600 MHz, DDR at 600 MHz
170            - CPU_800_DDR_800  - CPU at 800 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
171            - CPU_1000_DDR_800 - CPU at 1000 MHz, DDR at 800 MHz
172            - CPU_1200_DDR_750 - CPU at 1200 MHz, DDR at 750 MHz
173
174        Look at Armada37x0 chip package marking on board to identify correct CPU frequency.
175        The last line on package marking (next line after the 88F37x0 line) should contain:
176
177            - C080 or I080 - chip with  800 MHz CPU - use ``CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_800_DDR_800``
178            - C100 or I100 - chip with 1000 MHz CPU - use ``CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800``
179            - C120         - chip with 1200 MHz CPU - use ``CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1200_DDR_750``
180
181- BOOTDEV
182
183        For Armada37x0 only, the flash boot device, default is ``SPINOR``.
184
185        Currently, Armada37x0 only supports ``SPINOR``, ``SPINAND``, ``EMMCNORM`` and ``SATA``:
186
187            - SPINOR - SPI NOR flash boot
188            - SPINAND - SPI NAND flash boot
189            - EMMCNORM - eMMC Download Mode
190
191                Download boot loader or program code from eMMC flash into CM3 or CA53
192                Requires full initialization and command sequence
193
194            - SATA - SATA device boot
195
196                Image needs to be stored at disk LBA 0 or at disk partition with
197                MBR type 0x4d (ASCII 'M' as in Marvell) or at disk partition with
198                GPT name ``MARVELL BOOT PARTITION``.
199
200- PARTNUM
201
202        For Armada37x0 only, the boot partition number, default is 0.
203
204        To boot from eMMC, the value should be aligned with the parameter in
205        U-Boot with name of ``CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART``, whose value by default is
206        1. For details about CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART, please refer to the U-Boot
207        build instructions.
208
209- WTMI_IMG
210
211        For Armada37x0 only, the path of the binary can point to an image which
212        does nothing, an image which supports EFUSE or a customized CM3 firmware
213        binary. The default image is ``fuse.bin`` that built from sources in WTP
214        folder, which is the next option. If the default image is OK, then this
215        option should be skipped.
216
217        Please note that this is not a full WTMI image, just a main loop without
218        hardware initialization code. Final WTMI image is built from this WTMI_IMG
219        binary and sys-init code from the WTP directory which sets DDR and CPU
220        clocks according to DDR_TOPOLOGY and CLOCKSPRESET options.
221
222- WTP
223
224        For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to wtptools source code
225        directory, which can be found as a3700_utils.zip in the release. Usage
226        example: ``WTP=/path/to/a3700_utils``
227
228        If WTP source code is a git snapshot then provide path to the full git
229        repository (including .git subdir) because WTP build process calls git commands.
230
231- CRYPTOPP_PATH
232
233        For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to Crypto++ source code
234        directory. If this option is specified then Crypto++ source code in
235        CRYPTOPP_PATH directory will be automatically compiled. Crypto++ library
236        is required for building WTP image tool. Either CRYPTOPP_PATH or
237        CRYPTOPP_LIBDIR with CRYPTOPP_INCDIR needs to be specified for Armada37x0.
238
239- CRYPTOPP_LIBDIR
240
241        For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to the directory with
242        compiled Crypto++ library. By default it points to the CRYPTOPP_PATH.
243
244- CRYPTOPP_INCDIR
245
246        For Armada37x0 only, use this parameter to point to the directory with
247        header files of Crypto++ library. By default it points to the CRYPTOPP_PATH.
248
249
250For example, in order to build the image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level run
251
252.. code:: shell
253
254    > make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 PLAT=<MARVELL_PLATFORM> mrvl_flash
255
256And if we want to build a Armada37x0 image in debug mode with log level up to 'notice' level,
257the image has the preset CPU at 1000 MHz, preset DDR3 at 800 MHz, the DDR topology of DDR4 2CS,
258the image boot from SPI NOR flash partition 0, and the image is non trusted in WTP, the command
259line is as following
260
261.. code:: shell
262
263    > make DEBUG=1 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 \
264        MARVELL_SECURE_BOOT=0 DDR_TOPOLOGY=3 BOOTDEV=SPINOR PARTNUM=0 PLAT=a3700 \
265        MV_DDR_PATH=/path/to/mv-ddr-marvell/ WTP=/path/to/A3700-utils-marvell/ \
266        CRYPTOPP_PATH=/path/to/cryptopp/ BL33=/path/to/u-boot.bin \
267        all fip mrvl_bootimage mrvl_flash mrvl_uart
268
269To build just TF-A without WTMI image (useful for A3720 Turris MOX board), run following command:
270
271.. code:: shell
272
273    > make USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 PLAT=a3700 CM3_SYSTEM_RESET=1 BL33=/path/to/u-boot.bin \
274        CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- mrvl_bootimage
275
276Here is full example how to build production release of Marvell firmware image (concatenated
277binary of Marvell secure firmware, TF-A and U-Boot) for EspressoBin board (PLAT=a3700) with
2781GHz CPU (CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800) and 1GB DDR4 RAM (DDR_TOPOLOGY=5):
279
280.. code:: shell
281
282    > git clone https://review.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a
283    > git clone https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git
284    > git clone https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp.git
285    > git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell.git -b master
286    > git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/A3700-utils-marvell.git -b master
287    > make -C u-boot CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- mvebu_espressobin-88f3720_defconfig u-boot.bin
288    > make -C trusted-firmware-a CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_CM3=arm-linux-gnueabi- \
289        USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 PLAT=a3700 CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 DDR_TOPOLOGY=5 \
290        MV_DDR_PATH=$PWD/mv-ddr-marvell/ WTP=$PWD/A3700-utils-marvell/ CRYPTOPP_PATH=$PWD/cryptopp/ \
291        BL33=$PWD/u-boot/u-boot.bin mrvl_flash
292
293Produced Marvell firmware flash image: ``trusted-firmware-a/build/a3700/release/flash-image.bin``
294
295Special Build Flags
296--------------------
297
298- PLAT_RECOVERY_IMAGE_ENABLE
299    When set this option to enable secondary recovery function when build atf.
300    In order to build UART recovery image this operation should be disabled for
301    A7K/8K/CN913x because of hardware limitation (boot from secondary image
302    can interrupt UART recovery process). This MACRO definition is set in
303    ``plat/marvell/armada/a8k/common/include/platform_def.h`` file.
304
305- DDR32
306    In order to work in 32bit DDR, instead of the default 64bit ECC DDR,
307    this flag should be set to 1.
308
309For more information about build options, please refer to the
310:ref:`Build Options` document.
311
312
313Build output
314------------
315Marvell's TF-A compilation generates 8 files:
316
317    - ble.bin		- BLe image (not available for Armada37x0)
318    - bl1.bin		- BL1 image
319    - bl2.bin		- BL2 image
320    - bl31.bin		- BL31 image
321    - fip.bin		- FIP image (contains BL2, BL31 & BL33 (U-Boot) images)
322    - boot-image.bin	- TF-A image (contains BL1 and FIP images)
323    - flash-image.bin	- Flashable Marvell firmware image. For Armada37x0 it
324      contains TIM, WTMI and boot-image.bin images. For other platforms it contains
325      BLe and boot-image.bin images. Should be placed on the boot flash/device.
326    - uart-images.tgz.bin - GZIPed TAR archive which contains Armada37x0 images
327      for booting via UART. Could be loaded via Marvell's WtpDownload tool from
328      A3700-utils-marvell repository.
329
330Additional make target ``mrvl_bootimage`` produce ``boot-image.bin`` file. Target
331``mrvl_flash`` produce final ``flash-image.bin`` file and target ``mrvl_uart``
332produce ``uart-images.tgz.bin`` file.
333
334
335Tools and external components installation
336------------------------------------------
337
338Armada37x0 Builds require installation of 3 components
339~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
340
341(1) ARM cross compiler capable of building images for the service CPU (CM3).
342    This component is usually included in the Linux host packages.
343    On Debian/Ubuntu hosts the default GNU ARM tool chain can be installed
344    using the following command
345
