Dependencies

Ubuntu 18.04:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential uuid-dev iasl git nasm python3-distutils gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu

Ubuntu 20.04 is also proved to be fine.

Building

1.Clone edk2 and edk2-platforms (Place three directories side by side.)

edk2:

commit:3a3713e62cfad00d78bb938b0d9fb1eedaeff314

edk2-platforms:

commit:cfdc7f907d545b14302295b819ea078bc36c6a40

mkdir workspace-edk2
cd workspace-edk2
git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git -o 3a3713e62cfad00d78bb938b0d9fb1eedaeff314 --recursive --depth=1
git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms.git -o cfdc7f907d545b14302295b819ea078bc36c6a40 --recursive --depth=1

2.Clone this project(doesn't exist yet)

git clone https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3399.git

Workspace tree like:

workspace-edk2
├── edk2
├── edk2-platforms
└── edk2-sdm845

3.Build this project

bash build.sh --device polaris

4.check out edk2-sdm845/workspace/Build/sdm845Pkg/DEBUG_GCC5/FV/SDM845PKG_UEFI.fd

Boot

This edk2 build is a second stage boot image which needs to be loaded by u-boot sysboot (extlinux).

In order to make SimpleFB working properly, the u-boot should initialize the framebuffer, which you can determine by whether a logo showing during u-boot stage or not.

Change FB base & resolution

Vendor u-boot fb base is 0xF5F00000 and resolution is 800x480.

Change FB base in sdm845Pkg.dsc#L140 and resolution in polaris.dsc

Also, if you are using Rockchip DRM driver in U-boot, you can also do some hack to alter the resolution of framebuffer.

Create extlinux.conf

label whatever
        kernel /SDM845PKG_UEFI.fd

Put extlinux.conf & edk2 into sdcard

mkdir efi
sudo mount /dev/sdb4 efi # replace /dev/sdb4 to the partition of your sdcard
sudo cp extlinux.conf efi
sudo cp SDM845PKG_UEFI.fd efi
sudo umount efi

Boot edk2 via u-boot

U-boot can automatically boot extlinux, and you can also boot manually.

# change mmc 1:4 to your sdcard device & partition
sysboot mmc 1:4 any 0x00500000 /extlinux.conf

Known issues

• edk2 input not working in serial
