[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] Add board support for Star64

[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] Add board support for Star64

[Thomas Bonnefille via buildroot]

This patch series adds all the requirement to build an image for the
Star64 board made by Pine64.

As there is currently no proper support for this board in the mainline
U-Boot, I used a custom U-Boot and a software given by Starfive (the
SoC vendor) to add headers to the SPL.

This defconfig generates an SD card image running Linux using an
extlinux.conf.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/starfive_spltool: new package

[Thomas Bonnefille via buildroot]

This patch adds a new package for the Starfive SPL tool. It is used to
add header to the Secondary Program Loader for board based on the
Starfive JH7110 SoC.

Thanks, I've applied to master after:

- fixing the commit title starfive_spltool -> starfive-spltool

- moving the .hash file directly under package/starfive-spltool/, using
  a versioned directory is only useful for packages for which multiple
  versions are supported, which is not the case here

Thanks!

Thomas

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] configs/pine64-star64: new defconfig

[Thomas Bonnefille via buildroot]

This patch adds a new defconfig for the Star64 board made by Pine64. This
board is based on the Starfive JH7110 RISC-V 64 bits SoC.
https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/STAR64
This patch uses a custom Kernel and U-Boot made for this board. The SPL
has to be signed with the Starfive SPL-Tool which is a software
provided by the vendor to get the necessary headers on the SPL.
The image configuration is based on the work done by Ivan Velickovic
<i.velickovic@unsw.edu.au>.

+Pine64 Star64
+=============
+
+The Star64 is a low-cost RISC-V 64-bit based platform, powered by a
+Starfive JH7110 processor.
+
+https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/STAR64
+
+How to build
+============
+
+$ make pine64_star64_defconfig
+$ make
+
+How to write the SD card
+========================
+
+Once the build process is finished you will have an image called "sdcard.img"
+in the output/images/ directory.
+
+Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":
+
+  $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync
+
+Preparing the board
+===================
+
+Connect a TTL UART cable to pin 6 (GND), 8 (TX) and 10 (RX).
+
+Insert your SD card.
+
+Power-up the board using a 12V power supply.

Thanks, I've applied after:

- adjusting the commit title pine64-star64 -> pine64_star64 (to match
  the name of the defconfig)

- adding the host-uboot-tools package with FIT support to the
  defconfig, so that it gets built. Otherwise the build fails at the
  end when the post-build script calls mkimage as mkimage is not
  available. Probably it was working on your machine because you had
  mkimage installed system-wide, but Buildroot shouldn't depend on this.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
