Re: Volunteer for "Add FFS support to U-Boot"

[Jared McNeill <jmcneill%invisible.ca@localhost>]

Aarch64 should be fine here on the Orange Pi Win, but be aware that building U-Boot for sun50i family boards is a bit more complicated than others due to the dependency on ARM Trusted Framework.

There is a U-Boot framework in pkgsrc (currently based on 2017.11 release) that you may want to use as a starting point. Creating a package for your board will be simple:

 $ cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils
 $ cp -r u-boot-pine64 u-boot-orangepi-win
 $ cd u-boot-orangepi-win
 $ vi DESCR
 (Change last line of description to match your board name)
 $ vi Makefile
 (Change UBOOT_TARGET to orangepi-win, UBOOT_CONFIG to orangepi_win_defconfig, remove PKGREVISION)
 $ vi PLIST
 (Change share/u-boot/pine64 to share/u-boot/orangepi-win)

That should give you a working u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin.

Cheers,
Jared
