Overview

The U-Boot boot-loader is used for low-level initialization and operating system loading.

Building U-BOOT for iMX8M-MINI-CM

This U-BOOT is based on https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/uboot-imx.git, branch imx_v2020.04_5.4.24_2.1.0

Setup the cross compiler and CPU architecture

$ export ARCH=arm64
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/aarch64-ronetix-linux-11.1/bin/aarch64-ronetix-linux-gnu-

Cross compiler can be downloaded from here: http://download.ronetix.at/toolchains/crosstool-ng

Clone the latest revision of the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/ronetix/u-boot.git u-boot-ronetix --depth=1 -b imx_v2020.04_5.4.24_2.1.0_rnx
$ cd u-boot-ronetix

Configure

$ make imx8mm_cm_defconfig

Download and build i.MX8M firmware

$ source tools/imx8m_build_firmware.sh imx8mm

Build

$ make flash.bin

Build Results

File Name Description
u-boot U-BOOT ELF image used for JTAG debugging
u-boot-dtb.imx U-BOOT image with DTB
flash.bin U-BOOT image with DTB and firmware

Flashing U-BOOT image to a SD card
