Add MacchiatoBin board by SolidRun. This board is based on Marvell Armada 8040 SoC. Board support package includes the following two options: mainline and vendor BSPs. Mainline BSP: - Marvell ATF v1.3-armada-17.10 - mainline U-Boot v2017.11 - mainline Linux kernel v4.14.4 Marvell BSP with more hardware support enabled: - Marvell ATF v1.3-armada-17.10 - Marvell U-Boot based on v2017.03 - Marvell Linux kernel based v4.4.52 More details about this board are available on wiki: - http://wiki.macchiatobin.net Signed-off-by: Sergey Matyukevich <geomatsi@gmail.com> [Thomas: misc tweaks in readme.txt.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>

Intro
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
This default configuration will allow you to start experimenting with
|
|
the buildroot environment for the MacchiatoBin board based on the
|
|
Marvell Armada 8040 SoC. Documentation for the board hardware and
|
|
software is available on the wiki at: http://wiki.macchiatobin.net
|
|
|
|
This default configuration will bring up the board and allow access
|
|
through the serial console.
|
|
|
|
How to build
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
There are two build options: mainline support and vendor support.
|
|
|
|
For the mainline BSP, we use:
|
|
- Linux v4.14.4
|
|
- U-Boot v2017.11
|
|
|
|
For the vendor BSP, we use the sources available from Marvell Github
|
|
page at https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors, which uses:
|
|
- Linux v4.4.52
|
|
- U-Boot v2017.03
|
|
|
|
At the moment mainline support for the board is a work in progress.
|
|
Mainline kernel 4.14 with provided patches enables eth2 in 1Gb (RJ45
|
|
connector J5) and eth0 in 10Gb (SFP connector J15). The vendor BSP
|
|
enables more hardware features out of the box, e.g. all the network
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
|
|
To use the mainline BSP run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ make solidrun_macchiatobin_mainline_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
To use the vendor BSP run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ make solidrun_macchiatobin_marvell_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
How to write the SD card
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Once the build process is finished you will have an image
|
|
called "sdcard.img" in the output/images/ directory.
|
|
|
|
Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync
|
|
$ sudo sync
|
|
|
|
How to boot the board
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The MacchiatoBin board can be setup to load the bootloader from
|
|
different sources including eMMC, SPI flash, and SD-card. In order to
|
|
select boot from SD-card DIP switches SW1 and SW2 should be configured
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
SW2: 01110
|
|
SW1: 1xxxx
|
|
|
|
Insert the micro SDcard in the MacchiatoBin board and power it up.
|
|
The serial console is accessible at the micro-USB Type-B connector
|
|
marked CON9. The serial line settings are 115200 8N1.
|
|
|
|
By default U-Boot will load its environment from the SPI flash. On the
|
|
first boot SPI flash may be empty or it may contain a legacy
|
|
environment incompatible with up-to-date mainline U-Boot and
|
|
kernel. Then the following commands can be used to boot the board:
|
|
|
|
=> ext4load mmc 1:1 0x01700000 /boot/uEnv-example.txt
|
|
=> env import -t 0x01700000 $filesize
|
|
=> boot
|
|
|
|
The example environment from uEnv-example.txt can be written to
|
|
SPI flash using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
=> env default -f -a
|
|
=> ext4load mmc 1:1 0x01700000 /boot/uEnv-example.txt
|
|
=> env import -t 0x01700000 $filesize
|
|
=> saveenv
