Build U-Boot on ROCK 5B

Rockchip Debian SDK

Below is the instructions of how to build u-boot image for ROCK 5 on rock5b board.

Available boards:

• ROCK 5B

Get the source code

You need Git to get multiple git repositories to build the image.

Install Git if you don't have it.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Clone the source code

mkdir ~/rk3588-sdk && cd ~/rk3588-sdk
git clone -b stable-5.10-rock5 https://github.com/radxa/u-boot.git
git clone -b master https://github.com/radxa/rkbin.git
git clone -b debian https://github.com/radxa/build.git

And you will get

build   rkbin u-boot

Directories usage introductions:

• build:
  • Some script files and configuration files for building u-boot, kernel and rootfs.
• rkbin:
  • Prebuilt Rockchip binaries, include first stage loader and ATF(Arm Trustzone Firmware).
• u-boot:
  • u-boot as the second stage bootloader

Install other build tools

sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler libncurses5 libncurses5-dev build-essential libssl-dev mtools bc python dosfstools flex bison
