+Pine64 Star64 +===========
This fails to build in our CI. The length of the underline does not match the title.
Please, ensure that 'make htmldocs' throws no warnings.
Best regards

+U-Boot for the Star64 uses the same U-Boot binaries as the VisionFive 2 board. +In U-Boot SPL the actual board is detected and the device-tree patched +accordingly.
+Building +~~~~~~~~
+1. Add the RISC-V toolchain to your PATH. +2. Setup ARCH & cross compilation environment variable:
+.. code-block:: none
- export CROSS_COMPILE=<riscv64 toolchain prefix>
+The M-mode software OpenSBI provides the supervisor binary interface (SBI) and +is responsible for the switch to S-Mode. It is a prerequisite to build U-Boot. +Support for the JH7110 was introduced in OpenSBI 1.2. It is recommended to use +a current release.
+.. code-block:: console
- git clone https://github.com/riscv/opensbi.git
- cd opensbi
- make PLATFORM=generic FW_TEXT_START=0x40000000
+Now build the U-Boot SPL and U-Boot proper.
+.. code-block:: console
- cd <U-Boot-dir>
- make starfive_visionfive2_defconfig
- make OPENSBI=$(opensbi_dir)/build/platform/generic/firmware/fw_dynamic.bin
+This will generate the U-Boot SPL image (spl/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out) as well +as the FIT image (u-boot.itb) with OpenSBI and U-Boot.
+Device-tree selection +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+U-Boot will set variable $fdtfile to starfive/jh7110-pine64-star64.dtb.
+To overrule this selection the variable can be set manually and saved in the +environment
+::
- setenv fdtfile my_device-tree.dtb
- env save
+or the configuration variable CONFIG_DEFAULT_FDT_FILE can be used to set to +provide a default value.
+Boot source selection +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The board provides the DIP switches (marked S1804) adjacent to the 40pin GPIO +Bus for boot selection. The ``L`` (0) and ``H`` (1) silk screening to the side +of the should be used to determine state (not the ``ON/ONKE`` markings +physically on the component). ``GPIO_0`` is channel 2 on the switch, while +``GPIO_1`` is channel 1.
++ (QSPI) Flash: 00 ``??`` ++ SD: 01 ``??`` ++ EMMC: 10 ``??`` ++ UART: 11 ``??``
+Preparing the SD-Card +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The device firmware loads U-Boot SPL (u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out) from the +partition with type GUID 2E54B353-1271-4842-806F-E436D6AF6985. You are free +to choose any partition number.
+With the default configuration U-Boot SPL loads the U-Boot FIT image +(u-boot.itb) from partition 2 (CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION=0x2). +When formatting it is recommended to use GUID +BC13C2FF-59E6-4262-A352-B275FD6F7172 for this partition.
+The FIT image (u-boot.itb) is a combination of OpenSBI's fw_dynamic.bin, +u-boot-nodtb.bin and the device tree blob.
+Format the SD card (make sure the disk has GPT, otherwise use gdisk to switch)
+.. code-block:: bash
- sudo sgdisk --clear \
--set-alignment=2 \
--new=1:4096:8191 --change-name=1:spl --typecode=1:2E54B353-1271-4842-806F-E436D6AF6985\
--new=2:8192:16383 --change-name=2:uboot --typecode=2:BC13C2FF-59E6-4262-A352-B275FD6F7172 \
--new=3:16384:1654784 --change-name=3:system --typecode=3:EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7 \
/dev/sdb
+Copy U-Boot to the SD card
+.. code-block:: bash
- sudo dd if=u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out of=/dev/sdb1
- sudo dd if=u-boot.itb of=/dev/sdb2
- sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/
- sudo cp u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out /mnt/
- sudo cp u-boot.itb /mnt/
- sudo cp Image.gz /mnt/
- sudo cp initramfs.cpio.gz /mnt/
- sudo cp jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2.dtb /mnt/
- sudo umount /mnt
+Booting +~~~~~~~
+Once you plugin the sdcard and power up, you should see the U-Boot prompt.
+MAC address issues +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The Star64 does not currently ship with unique serial numbers per-device. +Devices tested (all 4GiB RAM) have the same serial number of +``STAR64V1-2310-D004E000-00000005`` and the mac addresses of +``6c:cf:39:00:75:61`` (lower) and ``6c:cf:39:00:75:62`` (upper) port will be +assigned. Shipped models also have the EEPROM set as write protected, so it +cannot be changed using ``mac`` commands.
+The MAC addresses may be "set" as follows by writing as a custom config to SPI +(Change the last 3 bytes of MAC addreses as appropriate):
+::
- env set ethaddr 6c:cf:39:00:75:63
- env set eth1addr 6c:cf:39:00:75:64
- env save
- reset
