ARM Trusted Firmware

VIM1 Linux Kernel & U-Boot

Does Khadas have the source for the ARM Trusted Firmware that is used for the board or is that something that Amlogic supplies to you in already compiled form?

ARM Trusted Firmware (Upstream)

For those who are unfamiliar with the boot process ATF is used for the initial boot up process before handing off to U-Boot.

Hi, Chris:
Do you mean BuildBootloaderAndRamfs?

No, I mean the code to the boot loader levels below BL3-3 (uboot) that is included in binary only form in the uboot git repo. For example the HiSilicon HiKey u-boot docs go into it a bit. There are BL1, BL2, BL3-0, BL3-1, BL3-3 boot loader levels in the ARM Trusted Firmware. The BL3-3 is the uboot we have source code to in the git repo. HiSilicon provides git repos for all their code (except BL3-0), but it appears that Amlogic at least at the moment does not provide source for the levels below BL3-3 (uboot). The other levels are currently in the uboot repo but in binary form only.

Maybe you can get Amlogic to give Khadas the code?

As what you said, Amlogic didn’t open the source code of the BL1/3. I will go to Amlogic office to try to apply this, but I’m not sure I can push that :wink:
