Hi,

The Pine64 is a kickstarter backed SBC that runs on the Allwinner A64 SoC.
This SoC can run AArch64 code, so this patch set lifts all arm version indepenent sunxi code into a mach directory and builds the A64 code as armv8 (aarch64) code.

With these patches applied, I can successfully boot my 1GB Pine64+ board with an openSUSE EFI image.

Can you provide some quick instructions on how to test this ? Bonus point for a link to a boot0.bin which I can dd to a sdcard and use with a u-boot.bin build with these patches.

Sure. Grab these all the files in this directory:

   http://csgraf.de/agraf/pine64

Then do

   $ gcc pine64_image.c -o pine64_image
   $ cat bl31.bin <u-boot-dir>/u-boot.bin > bl31uboot.bin
   $ ./pine64_image scp.bin bl31uboot.bin u-boot.img
   $ dd if=boot0.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=16
   $ dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=80

That should give you a working system. The scp.bin and boot0.bin are from the Allwinner binary distribution. ATF (bl31.bin) is built from these sources:

Cool thanks. I'll give this a try this weekend.

Regards,

Hans
