^^^^
-TF-A would require to build for ARM64 Rockchip SoCs platforms.
+TF-A is required when building ARM64 Rockchip SoCs images.
+
+To build TF-A:
-To build TF-A::
+.. code-block:: bash
- git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
+ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware.git
cd arm-trusted-firmware

Flashing
--------
+1. Package the image with U-Boot TPL/SPL
+-----------------------------------------
+
SD Card
^^^^^^^
-All rockchip platforms, except rk3128 (which doesn't use SPL) are now
-supporting single boot image using binman and pad_cat.

-To write an image that boots from an SD card (assumed to be /dev/sda)::
+.. code-block:: bash

-Note: for rockchip 32-bit platforms the U-Boot proper image
+Note:
+
+For Rockchip 32-bit platforms the U-Boot proper image
is u-boot-dtb.img
+SPI
+^^^
+
+The SPI boot method requires the generation of idbloader.img with help of the mkimage tool.
+
+SPL-alone SPI boot image:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/mkimage -n rk3399 -T rkspi -d spl/u-boot-spl.bin idbloader.img
+
+TPL+SPL SPI boot image:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ ./tools/mkimage -n rk3399 -T rkspi -d tpl/u-boot-tpl.bin:spl/u-boot-spl.bin idbloader.img
+
+Copy SPI boot images into SD card and boot from SD:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ sf probe
+ load mmc 1:1 $kernel_addr_r idbloader.img
+ sf erase 0 +$filesize
+ sf write $kernel_addr_r 0 ${filesize}
+ load mmc 1:1 ${kernel_addr_r} u-boot.itb
+ sf erase 0x60000 +$filesize
+ sf write $kernel_addr_r 0x60000 ${filesize}
+
+2. Package the image with Rockchip miniloader
+---------------------------------------------
+
+Image package with Rockchip miniloader requires rkbin [1].
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ cd ..
+ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rkbin
+
+Create idbloader.img:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ cd u-boot
+ ./tools/mkimage -n px30 -T rksd -d ../rkbin/bin/rk33/px30_ddr_333MHz_v1.16.bin idbloader.img
+ cat ../rkbin/bin/rk33/px30_miniloader_v1.31.bin >> idbloader.img
+ sudo dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/sda seek=64
+
+Create trust.img:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ cd ../rkbin
+ ./tools/trust_merger RKTRUST/PX30TRUST.ini
+ sudo dd if=trust.img of=/dev/sda seek=24576
+
+Create uboot.img [2]:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ cd ../u-boot
+ ../rkbin/tools/loaderimage --pack --uboot u-boot-dtb.bin uboot.img 0x200000
+ sudo dd if=uboot.img of=/dev/sda seek=16384
+
+Note:
+
+1. rkbin binaries are regularly updated, so it would be recommended to use the latest version.
+2. 0x200000 is a load address and is an option for some platforms.
