Porting Procedure

The software porting procedure to a customer board involves changes in Binary Header, HAL, and U-Boot which are provided in the U-Boot package.

Marvell U-Boot and Linux packages include pre-defined support for 2 customer boards. The requested board is selected at U-Boot compile time, and this selection is passed to Linux at runtime boot sequence by U-Boot (there is no need to select requested board at Linux).

To compile U-Boot, select the required board in the build command board type argument:

armada_38x_customer0 / armada_38x_customer1

./build.pl -f spi -v 15t1 -i spi -b armada_38x_customer0 –c
