Building the firmware

Prepare toolchain (for cross-compilation only):

1. Download the latest toolchain from ARM GNU Toolchain page:

   $ wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/10.3-2021.07/binrel/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.xz
   

2. Extract the archive and setup the path and compiler prefix to GCC5_AARCH64_PREFIX variable:

   $ tar -xf gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu.tar.xz
   $ export GCC5_AARCH64_PREFIX=<toolchain_path>/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-none-linux-gnu-
   

Prepare prerequisites

1. Create a new folder (directory) on your local development machine for use as your workspace. This example uses /work/git/tianocore, modify as appropriate for your needs.

   $ export WORKSPACE=/work/git/tianocore
   $ mkdir -p $WORKSPACE
   $ cd $WORKSPACE
   

2. Clone the Trusted Firmware repository:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}
   $ git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
   

3. Clone repository for auxiliary firmware on the SoC co-processors and checkout to binaries-marvell-armada-SDK10.0.1.0:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}
   $ git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/binaries-marvell.git
   $ cd binaries-marvell/
   $ git checkout -b binaries-marvell-armada-SDK10.0.1.0 origin/binaries-marvell-armada-SDK10.0.1.0
   

4. Clone the DDR training code from:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}
   $ git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell.git
   

Prepare EDKII environment:

Please follow instructions from Obtaining source code and Manual building from the top level edk2-platforms Readme.md.

Build EDKII image:

Use below build command in '${WORKSPACE}' directory:

MacchiatoBin:

$ build -a AARCH64 -t GCC5 -b RELEASE -D INCLUDE_TFTP_COMMAND -D X64EMU_ENABLE -p Platform/SolidRun/Armada80x0McBin/Armada80x0McBin.dsc

Marvell CN913x Development Board:

$ build -a AARCH64 -t GCC5 -b RELEASE -D CN9132 -D INCLUDE_TFTP_COMMAND -D CAPSULE_ENABLE -D X64EMU_ENABLE -p Platform/Marvell/Cn913xDb/Cn913xDbA.dsc

CN913x CEx7 Evaluation Board:

$ build -a AARCH64 -t GCC5 -b RELEASE -D INCLUDE_TFTP_COMMAND -D CAPSULE_ENABLE -D X64EMU_ENABLE -p Platform/SolidRun/Cn913xCEx7Eval/Cn913xCEx7Eval.dsc

---

NOTE

'-D INCLUDE_TFTP_COMMAND' is optional.

---

Build the final firmware image:

1. Set BL33 variable to path to EDK II output binary:

   MacchiatoBin:

   $ export BL33=${WORKSPACE}/Build/Armada80x0McBin-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/ARMADA_EFI.fd
   

   Marvell CN913x Development Board:

   $ export BL33=${WORKSPACE}/Build/Cn9132DbA-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/ARMADA_EFI.fd
   

   CN913x CEx7 Evaluation Board:

   $ export BL33=${WORKSPACE}/Build/Cn913xCEx7Eval-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/ARMADA_EFI.fd
   

2. Export SCP_BL2 variable:

   $ export SCP_BL2=${WORKSPACE}/binaries-marvell/mrvl_scp_bl2.img
   

3. Export compiler variables (for cross-compilation only):

   $ export ARCH=arm64
   $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain_path>/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-none-linux-gnu-
   

4. Build the image:

   $ cd ${WORKSPACE}/trusted-firmware-a/
   

   MacchiatoBin:

   $ make LOG_LEVEL=20 MV_DDR_PATH=${WORKSPACE}/mv-ddr-marvell PLAT=a80x0_mcbin all fip mrvl_flash
   

   Marvell CN913x Development Board:

   $ make LOG_LEVEL=20 MV_DDR_PATH=${WORKSPACE}/mv-ddr-marvell CP_NUM=3 PLAT=t9130 all fip mrvl_flash
   
   

   CN913x CEx7 Evaluation Board:

   $ make LOG_LEVEL=20 MV_DDR_PATH=${WORKSPACE}/mv-ddr-marvell CP_NUM=3 PLAT=t9130_cex7_eval all fip mrvl_flash
   
   

The firmware image flash-image.bin can be found in build/<PLAT>/release/ directory, where PLAT is the platform name from make command. The file is ready for updating in board's boot device (SPI/SD/MMC) - see howto.
