The ADSP-SC58x-EZKIT & ADSP-SC573-EZKIT come equipped with 16 MiB of SPI Flash. The adsp-sc5xx-tiny
image can be stored into it and used to boot Linux from it. To do that, you need to change the Libc implementation from the default GNU to musl, to further reduce the image's size.
Changing the Libc implementation is a simple edit in the $YOUR_PROJECT_DIR/build/conf/local.conf
file, from DISTRO ?= “adi-distro-glibc”
to DISTRO ?= “adi-distro-musl”
.
Following the Quickstart guide in Linux for ADSP-SC5xx Processors 3.0.0, use
$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-tiny
The SDK will provide you with the cross toolchain needed to develop application for the target board, alongside various miscellaneous tools. Notably, it will provide you with OpenOCD and GDB, which you can use to run and flash U-Boot on the board.
The SDK can be built for the adsp-sc5xx-minimal image or the adsp-sc5xx-full image. To build the SDK for the adsp-sc5xx-minimal image invoke bitbake from within the build directory created previously.
$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-minimal -c populate_sdk
or for the adsp-sc5xx-full image
$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-full -c populate_sdk
When the build has completed you will find a set of files in the <BUILD_DIR>/tmp/deploy/sdk directory. For example, the minimal image on SC584-EZKIT:
$ ls tmp/deploy/sdk adi-distro-musl-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.0.0.host.manifest adi-distro-musl-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.0.0.sh adi-distro-musl-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.0.0.target.manifest adi-distro-musl-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.0.0.testdata.json
The adi-distro-glibc-glibc-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.0.0.sh
is a self-extracting archive containing the SDK.
Invoke the self-extracting archive. It will default to installing to /opt/adi-distro-musl/3.0.0 but gives you the option to select your own install folder during the installation. For the minimal image on SC589-EZKIT
$ ./adi-distro-musl-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc589-ezkit-toolchain-3.0.0.sh Analog Devices Inc Reference Distro SDK installer version 3.0.0 =============================================================== Enter target directory for SDK (default: /opt/adi-distro-musl/3.0.0): You are about to install the SDK to "/opt/adi-distro-musl/3.0.0".

/tftpboot/
before running and/or flashing a new build of U-Boot or Linux. You can do so by executing rm /tftpboot/*
before proceeding
Copy the U-Boot binary & loader files to the tftp directory:
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/u-boot-spl-sc584-ezkit.elf /tftpboot/ $ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/u-boot-proper-sc584-ezkit.elf /tftpboot/ $ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/stage1-boot.ldr /tftpboot/ $ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/stage2-boot.ldr /tftpboot/
Before installing the software on to the development board, ensure that the following cables are connected:
The console output from U-Boot and later on Linux will appear on the USB serial port configured in minicom earlier so open up minicom.
Terminal1: minicom
$ sudo minicom
In a separate console launch OpenOCD and connect to the development board.
Terminal2: OpenOCD
$ sdk_usr=/opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.0.0/sysroots/x86_64-adi_glibc_sdk-linux/usr/ $ $sdk_usr/bin/openocd -f $sdk_usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/<ICE>.cfg -f $sdk_usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/adspsc58x.cfg
Where <ICE>
should be replaced with ice1000
or ice2000
depending on your hardware.
When successful you should see a message similar to the console output below

In a third console window launch GDB and type target extended-remote :3333
. This will make GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local host using port 3333. Then, load the U-Boot SPL into RAM by typing load
. Hit Ctrl+C to interrupt thereafter.
Terminal3: GDB

(gdb) c Continuing.
At this point U-Boot will now be running in RAM on your target board. You should see U-Boot booting in the minicom console (Terminal 1). Press a key to interrupt the boot process before the countdown terminates:
Terminal1: minicom

In the U-Boot console, set the IP address of the Linux PC that hosts the U-Boot loader files (stage1-boot.ldr
& stage2-boot.ldr
) on TFTP.

is the IP address you want to assign.
⇒ sf probe ${sfdev}; sf erase 0 0x1000000
on the U-Boot prompt before proceeding to the following instructions
Next, run the U-Boot update command to copy the U-Boot loader files from the host PC to the target board, and write it into flash:
=> run update_spi_uboot_only
You will see an output similar to the one below:
=> run update_spi_uboot_only Speed: 1000, full duplex Using eth0 device TFTP from server 10.37.33.116; our IP address is 10.37.33.113 Filename 'stage1-boot.ldr'.

In order to store the serverip
and the DHCP or otherwise assigned IP address of the board and have them available on next boot, you can run the following command:
=> saveenv
Saving Environment to SPIFlash... Erasing SPI flash...Writing to SPI flash...done
OK
At this point the U-Boot binary is stored in flash. You can now disconnect the ICE-1000 or ICE-2000 from the development board and make sure to switch the BMODE to position 1. You will only need to reconnect this if your board fails to boot and you need to re-follow these instructions.
You'd first need to copy the fitImage and the tiny
root filesystem on the TFTP server directory of the Host machine:
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/fitImage /tftpboot/ $ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/adsp-sc5xx-tiny-adsp-sc584-ezkit.jffs2 /tftpboot/
In order to flash the kernel on the flash, run the below command and observe a similar output:
=> run update_spi_fit Speed: 1000, full duplex Using eth0 device TFTP from server 10.37.33.116; our IP address is 10.37.33.113 Filename 'fitImage'.

Now run the following command to also flash the root filesystem:
=> run update_spi_rfs Speed: 1000, full duplex Using eth0 device TFTP from server 10.37.33.116; our IP address is 10.37.33.113 Filename 'adsp-sc5xx-tiny-adsp-sc584-ezkit.jffs2'.

You are now ready to boot into Linux, by entering run spiboot
on the U-Boot prompt:
