Build Instructions
------------------

STM32MP2x specific flags
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dedicated STM32MP2 build flags:

- | ``STM32MP_DDR_FIP_IO_STORAGE``: to store DDR firmware in FIP.
  | Default: 1
- | ``STM32MP21``: to select STM32MP21 variant configuration.
  | Default: 0
- | ``STM32MP25``: to select STM32MP25 variant configuration.
  | Default: 1

To compile the correct DDR driver, one flag must be set among:

- | ``STM32MP_DDR3_TYPE``: to compile DDR3 driver and DT.
  | Default: 0
- | ``STM32MP_DDR4_TYPE``: to compile DDR4 driver and DT.
  | Default: 0
- | ``STM32MP_LPDDR4_TYPE``: to compile LpDDR4 driver and DT.
  | Default: 0


Boot with FIP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You need to build BL2, BL31, BL32 (OP-TEE) and BL33 (U-Boot) and retrieve
DDR PHY firmware before building FIP binary.

U-Boot
______

.. code:: bash

    cd <u-boot_directory>
    make stm32mp25_defconfig
    make DEVICE_TREE=stm32mp257f-ev1 all

OP-TEE
______

.. code:: bash

    cd <optee_directory>
    make CROSS_COMPILE64=aarch64-none-elf- CROSS_COMPILE32=arm-none-eabi-
        ARCH=arm PLATFORM=stm32mp2 \
        CFG_EMBED_DTB_SOURCE_FILE=stm32mp257f-ev1.dts

DDR PHY firmware
________________
DDR PHY firmware files may not be delivered inside TF-A repository, especially
if you build directly from trustedfirmware.org repository. It then needs to be
retrieved from `STMicroelectronics DDR PHY github`_.

You can either clone the repository to the default directory:

.. code:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/stm32-ddr-phy-binary.git drivers/st/ddr/phy/firmware/bin

Or clone it somewhere else, and add ``STM32MP_DDR_FW_PATH=`` in your make command
line when building FIP.

TF-A BL2
________
To build TF-A BL2 with its STM32 header for SD-card boot:

.. code:: bash

    make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=stm32mp2 \
        STM32MP_DDR4_TYPE=1 SPD=opteed \
        DTB_FILE_NAME=stm32mp257f-ev1.dtb STM32MP_SDMMC=1

For other boot devices, you have to replace STM32MP_SDMMC in the previous command
with the desired device flag.


FIP
___

.. code:: bash

    make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- PLAT=stm32mp2 \
        STM32MP_DDR4_TYPE=1 SPD=opteed \
        DTB_FILE_NAME=stm32mp257f-ev1.dtb \
        BL33=<u-boot_directory>/u-boot-nodtb.bin \
        BL33_CFG=<u-boot_directory>/u-boot.dtb \
        BL32=<optee_directory>/tee-header_v2.bin \
        BL32_EXTRA1=<optee_directory>/tee-pager_v2.bin
