Trusted Firmware-A for Rockchip SoCs
====================================
Trusted Firmware-A supports a number of Rockchip ARM SoCs from both
AARCH32 and AARCH64 fields.
This includes right now:
- rk3288: Quad-Core Cortex-A17 (past A12)
- rk3328: Quad-Core Cortex-A53
- rk3368: Octa-Core Cortex-A53
- rk3399: Hexa-Core Cortex-A53/A72
Boot Sequence
=============
For AARCH32:
Bootrom --> BL1/BL2 --> BL32 --> BL33 --> Linux kernel
For AARCH64:
Bootrom --> BL1/BL2 --> BL31 --> BL33 --> Linux kernel
BL1/2 and BL33 can currently be supplied from either:
- Coreboot + Depthcharge
- U-Boot - either separately as TPL+SPL or only SPL
How to build
============
Rockchip SoCs expect TF-A's BL31 (AARCH64) or BL32 (AARCH32) to get
integrated with other boot software like U-Boot or Coreboot, so only
these images need to get build from the TF-A repository.
For AARCH64 architectures the build command looks like
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=rk3399 bl32
while AARCH32 needs a slightly different command
make ARCH=aarch32 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- PLAT=rk3288 AARCH32_SP=sp_min bl32
Both need replacing the PLAT argument with the platform from above you
want to build for and the CROSS_COMPILE argument with you cross-
compilation toolchain.
How to deploy
=============
Both upstream U-Boot and Coreboot projects contain instructions on where
to put the built images during their respective build process.
So after successfully building TF-A just follow their build instructions
to continue.
