| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| Poplar is the first development board compliant with the 96Boards Enterprise |
| Edition TV Platform specification. |
| |
| The board features the Hi3798C V200 with an integrated quad-core 64-bit |
| Arm Cortex A53 processor and high performance Mali T720 GPU, making it capable |
| of running any commercial set-top solution based on Linux or Android. |
| |
| It supports a premium user experience with up to H.265 HEVC decoding of 4K |
| video at 60 frames per second. |

| CPU Quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 64 bit |
| DRAM DDR3/3L/4 SDRAM interface, maximum 32-bit data width 2 GB |
| USB Two USB 2.0 ports One USB 3.0 ports |
| CONSOLE USB-micro port for console support |
| ETHERNET 1 GBe Ethernet |
| PCIE One PCIe 2.0 interfaces |
| JTAG 8-Pin JTAG |
| EXPANSION INTERFACE Linaro 96Boards Low Speed Expansion slot |
| DIMENSION Standard 160×120 mm 96Boards Enterprice Edition form factor |
| WIFI 802.11AC 2*2 with Bluetooth |
| CONNECTORS One connector for Smart Card One connector for TSI |
| |
| At the start of the boot sequence, the bootROM executes the so called l-loader |
| binary whose main role is to change the processor state to 64bit mode. This |
| must happen prior to invoking Trusted Firmware-A: |
| |
| :: |
| |
| l-loader --> Trusted Firmware-A --> u-boot |
| |
| How to build |
| ============ |
| |
| Code Locations |
| -------------- |
| |
| - Trusted Firmware-A: |
| `link <https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware>`__ |
| |
| - l-loader: |
| `link <https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-l-loader.git>`__ |
| |
| - u-boot: |
| `link <http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git>`__ |
| |
| Build Procedure |
| --------------- |
| |
| - Fetch all the above 3 repositories into local host. |
| Make all the repositories in the same ${BUILD\_PATH}. |
| |
| - Prepare the AARCH64 toolchain. |
| |
| - Build u-boot using poplar_defconfig |
| |
| .. code:: bash |
| |
| make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- poplar_defconfig |
| make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- |
| |
| - Build atf providing the previously generated u-boot.bin as the BL33 image |
| |
| .. code:: bash |
| |
| make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip SPD=none PLAT=poplar |
| BL33=u-boot.bin |
| |
| - Build l-loader (generated the final fastboot.bin) |
| 1. copy the atf generated files fip.bin and bl1.bin to l-loader/atf/ |
| 2. export ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE=${ATF_SOURCE_PATH) |
| 3. make |
| |
| Install Procedure |
| ----------------- |
| |
| - Copy l-loader/fastboot.bin to a FAT partition on a USB pen drive. |
| |
| - Plug the USB pen drive to any of the USB2 ports |
| |
| - Power the board while keeping S3 pressed (usb_boot) |
| |
| The system will boot into a u-boot shell which you can then use to write the |
| working firmware to eMMC. |
