Kontron Electronics i.MX8MM SoMs and Boards
===========================================
The SL i.MX8MM and OSM-S i.MX8MM by Kontron Electronics GmbH are SoM modules
with an i.MX8M-Mini SoC, 1/2/4 GB LPDDR4 RAM, SPI NOR, eMMC and PMIC.
The matching evaluation boards (Board-Line, BL) have two Ethernet ports,
USB 2.0, HDMI/LVDS, SD card, CAN, RS485, RS232 and much more.
The OSM-S i.MX8MM is compliant to the Open Standard Module (OSM) 1.1
specification, size S (https://sget.org/standards/osm).
Quick Start
-----------
- Get and Build the Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A)
- Get the DDR firmware
- Build U-Boot
- Boot
.. note::
To build on a x86-64 host machine, you need a GNU cross toolchain for the
target architecture (aarch64). Check your distros package manager or
download and install the necessary tools (``aarch64-linux-gnu-*``) manually.
Get and Build the Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are two sources for the TF-A. Mainline and NXP. Get the one you prefer
(support and features might differ).
.. note::
If you are using GCC 12 and you get compiler/linker errors, try to add the
following arguments to your make command as workaround:
``CFLAGS="-Wno-array-bounds" LDFLAGS="--no-warn-rwx-segments"``
**NXP's imx-atf**
1. Get TF-A from: https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-atf, branch: lf_v2.6
2. Build
.. code-block:: bash
$ make PLAT=imx8mm CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE="0x30880000" bl31
$ cp build/imx8mm/release/bl31.bin $(builddir)
.. note::
*builddir* is U-Boot's build directory (source directory for in-tree builds)
**Mainline TF-A**
1. Get TF-A from: https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git/, tag: v2.4
2. Build
.. code-block:: bash
$ make PLAT=imx8mm CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE="0x30880000" bl31
$ cp build/imx8mm/release/bl31.bin $(builddir)
Get the DDR firmware
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: bash
$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.18.bin
$ chmod +x firmware-imx-8.18.bin
$ ./firmware-imx-8.18.bin
$ cp firmware-imx-8.18/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_imem.bin $(builddir)
$ cp firmware-imx-8.18/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4_pmu_train_1d_dmem.bin $(builddir)
$ cp firmware-imx-8.18/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_imem.bin $(builddir)
$ cp firmware-imx-8.18/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4_pmu_train_2d_dmem.bin $(builddir)
Build U-Boot
^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: bash
$ make kontron-sl-mx8mm_defconfig
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
Copy the flash.bin to SD card at an offset of 33 KiB:
.. code-block:: bash
$ dd if=flash.bin of=/dev/sd[x] bs=1K seek=33 conv=notrunc
Boot
^^^^
Put the SD card in the slot on the board and apply power. Check the serial
console for output.
Flash the Bootloader to SPI NOR
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. Determine and note the exact size of the ``flash.bin`` image in bytes (e.g.
by running ``ls -l flash.bin``)
2. On the U-Boot CLI copy the bootloader from SD card to RAM:
.. code-block::
mmc dev 1
mmc read $loadaddr 0x42 0x1000
3. Erase the SPI NOR flash:
.. code-block::
sf probe
sf erase 0x0 0x200000
4. Copy the bootloader from RAM to SPI NOR. For the last parameter of the
command, use the size determined in step 1 in **hexadecimal notation**:
.. code-block::
sf write $loadaddr 0x400 0x13B6F0
.. note::
To be able to boot from SPI NOR the OTP fuses need to be set accordingly.
Further Information
-------------------
The bootloader configuration is setup to be used with kernel FIT images. Legacy
images might not be working out of the box.
Please see https://docs.kontron-electronics.de for further vendor documentation.
