v4 cover Initial support for NXP iMX8 (imx8mq-evk)

This series provides initial support for NXP iMX8 (imx8mq-evk).

This series of patches are tested against NXP imx8mq-evk. It only handles basic support for iIMX8M, currently no support for GPU, VPU and other HW features. This series makes it possible to build a minimal system for imx8mq-evk.

Changes since v3
================
- Use Buildroot toolchain instead of external Linareo toolchain.
- Changed title on patch number 2

Changes since v2
================
- Build kernel, u-boot, atf based on tags instead of branches.
- Make sure to assign BR2_PACKAGE_FREESCALE_IMX_PLATFORM to IMX8M.
- Remove kernel defconfig from board folder and use arch default in kernel tree.
- Split third commit into two commits.

Changes since v1
================
- Removed new imx-atf package, use boot/arm-trusted-firmware.
- Move imx-mkimage from package/freescale-imx to package.
- Add upstream URL for imx-mkimage in Config.in.host.
- Fix install command syntax for imx-mkimage package.
- Use Makefile in imx-mkimage to build imx-boot-imx8mqevk-sd.bin instead of doing that in the post-script.sh
- Split third commit into two, one for firmware-img package and one for iMX8 board.

PATCH v4 1/4 imx-mkimage: new package

This package add support for imx-mkimage for iMX8M. Currently the only hardware it's tested for.

---
v4: No changes
v3: Use BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_FORMAT_CUSTOM_NAME in U-Boot so we don't
need to copy u-boot.bin to u-boot-nodtb.bin (suggested by Baruch)
Update license to GPL-2.0+ (suggested by Marcus F.)
v2: Moved package from package/freescale-imx to package (suggested by Thomas P.)
Add upstread URL in Config.in (suggested by Thomas P.)
Fix install syntax in imx-mkimage.mk (suggested by Thomas P.)
Use Makefile in imx-mkimage to build imx-boot-imx8mqevk-sd.bin instead of doing that in the post-script.sh (suggested Baruch)

I'm not a big fan of the fact that this host package not does not install any host tool, but instead post-processes images created by other packages.

Would it be possible for this package to just install host tools, and then have a post-image script that uses these host tools to provide the final flash.bin image ?

This first version if this patch-serie did sort of that. It build and installed host tools. And then they were used in post-image.sh. But after a comments/suggestion from Baruch I got encouraged do it this way. This solution is much clearer when reading the code then the first version, but maybe with the drawback of this host-package not really being a host-package as you stated. If you compare this solution with the first you will see that there is a pretty convoluted solution for doing parts that are in the Makefile och imx-mkimage. The main problem here may be the fact that NXP put stuff in there Makefile that rally doesn't have anything with the creation of the tool.

Erik has been quick to respin the series. The result is at

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2018-March/215611.html

(not on patchwork). Now the gen_imx8_boot() shell function in the post image script duplicates the logic from the imx-mkimage Makefile to generate the boot image. Do you find this better?

#10 lore raw

v4 cover Initial support for NXP iMX8 (imx8mq-evk)

In reply to Erik Larsson

Hi Erik,

Quoted 6 lines · Erik Larsson

This series provides initial support for NXP iMX8 (imx8mq-evk).

This series of patches are tested against NXP imx8mq-evk. It only handles basic support for iIMX8M, currently no support for GPU, VPU and other HW features. This series makes it possible to build a minimal system for imx8mq-evk.

Thanks for working on this series.

In case you need to respin it, please add a readme.txt file so that people can know how to build and flash a SD card to boot this board.

An example of a readme.txt: board/freescale/imx51evk/readme.txt

Thanks
