Update the Allwinner platform documentation. Reorder the section, to have the build instructions first, followed by hints about the installation. Add some ASCII art about the layout of our virtual memory map, which uses a non-trivial condensed virtual address space.

Allwinner ARMv8 SoCs
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) implements the EL3 firmware layer for Allwinner
|
|
SoCs with ARMv8 cores. Only BL31 is used to provide proper EL3 setup and
|
|
PSCI runtime services.
|
|
|
|
Building TF-A
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To build for machines with an A64 or H5 SoC:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=sun50i_a64 DEBUG=1 bl31
|
|
|
|
To build for machines with an H6 SoC:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: shell
|
|
|
|
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=sun50i_h6 DEBUG=1 bl31
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot's SPL acts as a loader, loading both BL31 and BL33 (typically U-Boot).
|
|
Loading is done from SD card, eMMC or SPI flash, also via an USB debug
|
|
interface (FEL).
|
|
|
|
After building bl31.bin, the binary must be fed to the U-Boot build system
|
|
to include it in the FIT image that the SPL loader will process.
|
|
bl31.bin can be either copied (or sym-linked) into U-Boot's root directory,
|
|
or the environment variable BL31 must contain the binary's path.
|
|
See the respective `U-Boot documentation`_ for more details.

Memory layout
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
A64, H5 and H6 SoCs
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
BL31 lives in SRAM A2, which is documented to be accessible from secure
|
|
world only. Since this SRAM region is very limited (48 KB), we take
|
|
several measures to reduce memory consumption. One of them is to confine
|
|
BL31 to only 28 bits of virtual address space, which reduces the number
|
|
of required page tables (each occupying 4KB of memory).
|
|
The mapping we use on those SoCs is as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
0 64K 16M 1GB 1G+160M physical address

Trusted OS dispatcher
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
One can boot Trusted OS(OP-TEE OS, bl32 image) along side bl31 image on Allwinner A64.
|
|
|
|
In order to include the 'opteed' dispatcher in the image, pass 'SPD=opteed' on the command line
|
|
while compiling the bl31 image and make sure the loader (SPL) loads the Trusted OS binary to
|
|
the beginning of DRAM (0x40000000).
