8.2.1.1 Boot Images

U-Boot, OP-TEE, Arm Trusted Firmware (TF-A), and ti-linux-firmware are needed to build the boot files.

Instructions to clone and build TF-A:

Apply the patches under Appendices 11.4, 11.5, and 11.6 to TF-A, then build TF-A.

Instructions to clone and build OP-TEE:

Instructions to clone and build U-Boot:

The boot image files are tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin, and u-boot.img. On the host computer, move the tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin, and u-boot.img files from U-Boot to the SD card boot partition.

HOST$ cp $UBOOT_DIR/tiboot3.bin /media/$USER/boot
HOST$ cp $UBOOT_DIR/tispl.bin /media/$USER/boot
HOST$ cp $UBOOT_DIR/u-boot.img /media/$USER/boot
