U-Boot Compilation
------------------

.. code-block:: bash

    $ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
    $ make wetek-play2_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 WeTek has not publicly shared the U-Boot sources needed to build FIP binaries
for signing. However you can download them from the amlogic-fip-repo.

.. 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.gxbb of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 skip=1 seek=1
    $ dd if=fip/u-boot.gxbb of=$DEV conv=fsync,notrunc bs=1 count=440
