Platform/Ampere: Add scripts to help building and flashing firmware
Add scripts which help users to build and flash firmware images for
platforms based on the Ampere Altra SoC.
'buildfw.sh' can be used to build images containing just UEFI, or if
the TF-A (ATF) binary is present TF-A + UEFI and complete 32MB SPI-NOR
images. If the SYS (SMPro and PMPro microprocessors) binary is also
present then a capsule update file for the SYS/SCP component of the SOC
will also be built. Usage:
Usage:
./Platform/Ampere/buildfw.sh [options]
Options:
-b <bldtype>, --build <bldtype> Specify the build type: DEBUG or
RELEASE
-t <tc>, --toolchain <tc> Specify the toolchain to use: GCC or
CLANG
-m <mfg>, --manufacturer <mfg> Specify platform manufacturer
(e.g. Ampere)
-p <plat>, --platform <plat> Specify platform to build (e.g. Jade)
-l <kern>, --linuxboot <kern> Build LinuxBoot firmware instead of
full EDK2 with UEFI Shell, specifying path to flashkernel
-f, --flash Copy firmware to BMC and flash
firmware (keeping EFI variables and NVPARAMs) after building
-F, --full-flash Copy firmware to BMC and flash full
EEPROM (resetting EFI variables and NVPARAMs) after building
Note: flash options require bmc.sh file with env vars BMC_HOST, BMC_USER and BMC_PASS defined
Available manufacturers:
ADLINK
Ampere
ASRockRack
Available platforms:
ADLINK -> ComHpcAlt
Ampere -> Jade
ASRockRack -> Altrad8ud2
'fwver.sh' is used by buildfw.sh to keep track of the number of builds
done, so that firmware files of the format e.g.
comhpcalt_uefi_2024-10-22-5.bin are created along with displaying the
date including build number during boot.
'fwflash.sh' automates flashing the host firmware when the target
system is running a BMC with OpenBMC. 'fwflash.exp' is a helper
script used by 'fwflash.sh' to ssh into the BMC and run the
ampere_flash_bios.sh utility. Usage:
Copies firmware to the BMC (running OpenBMC) and runs
ampere_flash_bios.sh to flash the host.
Usage:
fwflash.sh [options] <Host firmware file>
Options:
-f, --full Flash the entire SPI-NOR chip (default)
-c, --code Flash the code (TF-A + UEFI) area
-t, --tfa Flash the TF-A (ATF) area
-u, --uefi Flash the UEFI area
-h, --help This help message
Note: TF-A (Trusted Firmware for ARMv8-A) is the same as ATF
(ARM Trusted Firmware).
