AD40xx Platform Build uboot

Table of Contents

As a prerequisite the hdl must be built and referenced when creating a custom version of uboot.

1. Build with provided Virtual Machine
2. Build with user Linux Host

Build with provided Virtual Machine

1. Open an embedded command shell

    $ ./intelFPGA/18.0/embedded/embedded_command_shell.sh  
   

2. Launch bsp-editor

    $ bsp-editor 
   

3. Create a new BSP

    File --> New HPS BSP  
   

4. Reference the Preloader settings directory

    Navigate to the hdl project hps_isw_handoff sub directory. Select "Open", then select "OK".
   

5. Specify the rbf file

    uboot will read the FPFA image Raw Binary File (RBF) from the FAT partition of the SD card. Enter the filename 
    exactly as shown in the image below - adrv9371x_mitysom_a10s.rbf. 
    Select "Generate" to create the uboot project. Select "Exit" to close bsp-editor.
   

6. Build uboot

    $ cd <hdl repository>/hdl/project/ad40xx_fmc/tei0022/software/uboot_bsp
    $ make  
   

7. uboot_w_dtb-mkpimage.bin is located in the uboot_bsp directory
