| U-Boot Compilation |
| ------------------ |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf- |
| $ make videostrong-kii-pro_defconfig |
| $ make |
| |
| U-Boot Signing with Pre-Built FIP repo |
| -------------------------------------- |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| $ git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip --depth=1 |
| $ cd amlogic-boot-fip |
| $ mkdir my-output-dir |
| $ ./build-fip.sh wetek-play2 /path/to/u-boot/u-boot.bin my-output-dir |
| |
| U-Boot Manual Signing |
| --------------------- |
| |
| Amlogic does not provide sources for the firmware and tools needed to create |
| a bootloader image and Videostrong has not publicly shared the U-Boot sources |
| needed to build FIP binaries for signing. However you can use the WeTek |
| Play2 binaries from the amlogic-boot-fip repo as the WeTek Play2 and the |
| Videostrong KII Pro share the same RAM chips. |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| $ git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip --depth=1 |
| $ cd amlogic-boot-fip/wetek-play2 |
| $ export FIPDIR=$PWD |
| |
| Go back to the mainline U-Boot source tree then: |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| $ mkdir fip |
| $ cp $FIPDIR/bl2.bin fip/ |
| $ cp $FIPDIR/acs.bin fip/ |
| $ cp $FIPDIR/bl21.bin fip/ |
| $ cp $FIPDIR/bl30.bin fip/ |
| $ cp $FIPDIR/bl301.bin fip/ |
| $ cp $FIPDIR/bl31.img fip/ |
| $ cp u-boot.bin fip/bl33.bin |
| $ $FIPDIR/blx_fix.sh \ |
| fip/bl30.bin \ |
| fip/zero_tmp \ |
| fip/bl30_zero.bin \ |
| fip/bl301.bin \ |
| fip/bl301_zero.bin \ |
| fip/bl30_new.bin \ |
| bl30 |
| $ $FIPDIR/fip_create --bl30 fip/bl30_new.bin \ |
| --bl31 fip/bl31.img \ |
| --bl33 fip/bl33.bin \ |
| fip/fip.bin |
| $ sed -i 's/\x73\x02\x08\x91/\x1F\x20\x03\xD5/' fip/bl2.bin |
| $ python3 $FIPDIR/acs_tool.py fip/bl2.bin fip/bl2_acs.bin fip/acs.bin 0 |
| $ $FIPDIR/blx_fix.sh \ |
| fip/bl2_acs.bin \ |
| fip/zero_tmp \ |
| fip/bl2_zero.bin \ |
| fip/bl21.bin \ |
| fip/bl21_zero.bin \ |
| fip/bl2_new.bin \ |
| bl2 |
| $ cat fip/bl2_new.bin fip/fip.bin > fip/boot_new.bin |
| $ $FIPDIR/aml_encrypt_gxb --bootsig \ |
| --input fip/boot_new.bin |
| --output fip/u-boot.bin |
| |
| Then write U-Boot to SD or eMMC with: |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
| |
| $ DEV=/dev/boot_device |
| $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin of=fip/u-boot.bin.gxbb bs=512 conv=fsync |
| $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin of=fip/u-boot.bin.gxbb bs=512 seek=9 skip=8 count=87 conv=fsync,notrunc |
| $ dd if=/dev/zero of=fip/u-boot.bin.gxbb bs=512 seek=8 count=1 conv=fsync,notrunc |
| $ dd if=bl1.bin.hardkernel of=fip/u-boot.bin.gxbb bs=512 seek=2 skip=2 count=1 conv=fsync,notrunc |
| $ ./aml_chksum fip/u-boot.bin.gxbb |
| $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.gxbb of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1 |
| $ dd if=fip/u-boot.bin.gxbb of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=440 |
