Then, build U-Boot for ``QCS615``, ``QCS8300`` or ``QCS9100``:: + + $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<aarch64 toolchain prefix> + $ make qcom_qcs8300_defconfig + $ make -j8 u-boot.mbn + +This will build the signed ``u-boot.mbn`` in the configured output directory. +The firmware expects firmware ELF images to be "signed". The signature +does not provide any security in this case, but it provides the firmware +with some required metadata. More information +about image signing can be found in :doc:`signing`. + +Then flash the resulting ``u-boot.mbn`` to the ``uefi_a`` partition +on your device with ``fastboot flash uefi_a u-boot.mbn``. + +U-Boot should be running after a reboot (``fastboot reboot``). + +Note that fastboot is not yet supported in U-Boot on Dragonwing boards, as a result, to flash +back the original firmware, or new versoins of the U-Boot, EDL mode must be used. + +A tool like bkerler's `edl`_ can be used for flashing with the firehose loader (for example, for QCS9100 +the firehose loader can be obtained from `dragonwing IQ9 bootbinaries`.) :: + +$ edl.py --loader /path/to/prog_firehose_ddr.elf w uefi_a u-boot.mbn + +.. _qtestsign: https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/qtestsign +.. _edl: https://github.com/bkerler/edl +.. _dragonwing IQ9 bootbinaries: https://artifacts.codelinaro.org/ui/native/qli-ci/flashable-binaries/qimpsdk/qcs9075-rb8-core-kit -- 2.34.1
