NXP i.MX8MM EVK Evaluation Board ================================ Board comes with: * 2GiB of LPDDR4 RAM * 16GiB eMMC Not including booting via serial, the device can boot from either SD or eMMC. Downloading DDR PHY Firmware ---------------------------- As a part of DDR intialization routine NXP i.MX8MM EVK requires and uses several binary firmware blobs that are distributed under a separate EULA and cannot be included in Barebox. In order to obtain them do the following:: wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.0.bin chmod +x firmware-imx-8.0.bin ./firmware-imx-8.0.bin Executing that file should produce a EULA acceptance dialog as well as result in the following files: - lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem.bin - lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem.bin - lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem.bin - lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem.bin As a last step of this process those files need to be placed in "firmware/":: for f in lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem.bin \ lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem.bin \ lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem.bin \ lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem.bin; \ do \ cp firmware-imx-8.0/firmware/ddr/synopsys/${f} \ firmware/${f}; \ done DDR Configuration Code ====================== The following two files: - arch/arm/boards/nxp-imx8mq-evk/ddr_init.c - arch/arm/boards/nxp-imx8mq-evk/ddrphy_train.c were obtained by running i.MX 8M DDR Tool that can be found here: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-340179 Only minimal amount of necessary changes were made to those files. All of the "impedance matching" code is located in "ddr.h". Build barebox ============= make imx_v8_defconfig make Start barebox ============= The resulting image file is images/barebox-nxp-imx8mm-evk.img. Configure the board for serial download mode as printed on the PCB. You can start barebox with the imx-usb-loader tool that comes with barebox like this: ./scripts/imx/imx-usb-loader images/barebox-nxp-imx8mm-evk.img
