# Taishanpi-RK3566 Board Support Package (BSP) Usage Guide
[中文页](./Taishanpi-RK3566_CN.md) | English
## 0. Code Source Statement
The commit used in this document:
- `a1c642aa3a2848b47f2a1b52679dc4ee5156f2f4`
Based on the[original documentation](./README.md), this guide supplements and elaborates on the content with additional documentation and detailed step-by-step instructions.
## 1. Introduction
This support package usage guide is written based on the[ TaishanPi 1 ](https://wiki.lckfb.com/zh-hans/tspi-rk3566/)development board.
[All schematic diagrams, PCB files, and software resources for TaishanPi 1 are open-source](https://wiki.lckfb.com/zh-hans/tspi-rk3566/open-source-hardware/)
This guide provides detailed instructions and relevant precautions.
### 1.1. Chip Introduction
`Rockchip RK3566` is a mid-to-high-end `AIOT` chip:
- Manufactured using `22nm` process technology
- Quad-core `Cortex-A55` 64-bit CPU
- Clock speed up to `1.8GHz`
- Integrated `ARM Mali-G52 GPU`
- Integrated `1Tops` AI accelerator `NPU`
- Supports `4K 60FPS` decoding
- Supports `1080P 60FPS` encoding
- Supports `5M ISP` and `HDR`
### 1.2. Host Machine Environment
This guide uses `Ubuntu22.04.5 LTS Desktop` running on`VMware`.
System information:
```bash
$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.5 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
UBUNTU_CODENAME=jammy
```
```bash
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
```
`Python`version:
```bash
$ python --version
Python 3.10.12
```
## 2. Environment Setup
Run the following commands to install required packages:
1. Essential tools:
```bash
sudo apt update && \
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler
```
2. Install tools using `pip`:
```bash
pip3 install --user tqdm scons
```
3. Set `Python version`:
```bash
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/python && \
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
```
4. Download `RT-Thread Smart` toolchain:
```bash
wget https://download.rt-thread.org/download/rt-smart/toolchains/aarch64-linux-musleabi_for_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_latest.tar.bz2
```
5. Extract the toolchain:
```bash
sudo tar -xf aarch64-linux-musleabi_for_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu_latest.tar.bz2 -C /opt
```
6. Set environment variables after extraction:
```bash
export RTT_CC="gcc"
export RTT_EXEC_PATH="/opt/aarch64-linux-musleabi_for_x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/"
export RTT_CC_PREFIX="aarch64-linux-musleabi-"
export PATH="$RTT_EXEC_PATH:$PATH"
```
## 3. 编译
Navigate to the `rt-thread/bsp/rockchip/rk3566` directory and run:
After entering `menuconfig`, simply save and exit to generate a `.config` file:
```bash
scons --menuconfig
```
> This command pulls the `zlib` package required for compilation.
```bash
source ~/.env/tools/scripts/pkgs --update
```
Start compilation:
> Alternatively, use `scons --exec-path="GCC toolchain path"` to specify the toolchain location directly.
```bash
scons -j$(nproc)
```
The `rtthread.elf` and `rtthread.bin` files will be generated in the current `rk3566` directory.
## 3. Running
### 3.1. Flashing the Board
To boot the `rtthread` system using U-Boot commands, flash the following files using the Rockchip development tool.
This guide uses the [ TaishanPi 1 ](https://wiki.lckfb.com/zh-hans/tspi-rk3566/) `Rockchip Linux5.10 SDK`:
- `Github`:https://github.com/TaishanPi
- Tutorial [Host Machine Build Method](https://wiki.lckfb.com/zh-hans/tspi-rk3566/sdk-compilation/openkylin-sdk-compilation.html)
After compilation, required files will be in the `rockdev/` directory.
Erase all existing firmware from the board:

Flash these 4 files using the Rockchip Development Tool:
> > Note: The TaishanPi 1 SDK uses a custom partition layout. Other boards may require different files.
- `MiniLoaderAll.bin`
- `parameter.txt`
- `uboot.img`
- `boot.img`
### 3.2. Formatting the TF Card
Prepare a TF card to store files.
Download `Rufus`:https://rufus.org.cn/
Configure with these settings and click "Start":

### 3.3. Creating boot.scr
> You can use the existing `boot.scr` in this directory, or create your own using the method below.
Create `boot.cmd` with the following content:
```bash
fatload mmc 1:1 0x480000 rtthread.bin;
fatload mmc 1:1 0x8300000 tspi-rk3566-user-v10-linux.dtb;
booti 0x480000 - 0x8300000;
```
> The Device Tree Blob (DTB) file is required for system startup. For TaishanPi 1, the DTB file is located at `kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/tspi-rk3566-user-v10-linux.dtb`. Other boards may use different DTB files. Without the correct DTB, rtthread will fail to boot (see "Common Issues and Solutions").
Generate `boot.scr`
```bash
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.cmd boot.scr
```
### 3.4. Copying Files to TF Card
Copy these three files to the TF card:
- `boot.scr`
- `tspi-rk3566-user-v10-linux.dtb`
- `rtthread.bin`

### 3.5. Running
Connect to the board's serial port using a tool like [MoBaXterm](https://wiki.lckfb.com/zh-hans/tspi-rk3566/tool-use/debug-tools-use.html):
- Select the correct serial port
- Set baud rate to `1500000`
With `boot.scr` present, the system will boot automatically:
> Note 1: If stuck at `[I/rtdm.ofw] Console: uart0 (fiq-debugger)`, see "Common Issues and Solutions".
> Note 2: After failed boot attempts, completely power cycle the board to clear memory.
> Note 3: If automatic boot fails, manually execute the `boot.cmd` content in U-Boot.
```bash
Hit key to stop autoboot('CTRL+C'): 0
switch to partitions #0, OK

## Common Issues and Solutions
### Could not find a valid device tree
This error occurs when booting without loading the `.dtb` device tree file:
```bash
Hit key to stop autoboot('CTRL+C'): 0
=> <INTERRUPT>
=> <INTERRUPT>
=> <INTERRUPT>
=> <INTERRUPT>
=> <INTERRUPT>
=> fatload mmc 1:1 0x480000 rtthread.bin
reading rtthread.bin
1220848 bytes read in 104 ms (11.2 MiB/s)
=> booti 0x480000 - 0x8300000
Fdt Ramdisk skip relocation
No misc partition
ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree
Could not find a valid device tree
=>
```
Solution:
1. Power cycle the board completely after failed boot attempts
2. Copy the compiled `.dtb` file from `kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/` to the TF card
3. Load the `DTB` to address `0x8300000` using `fatload`
4. Execute the boot command again
### System Stuck at `[I/rtdm.ofw] Console: uart0 (fiq-debugger)`
This is typically caused by incorrect device tree configuration. The `chosen` node parameters are critical.
Example configuration for TaishanPi 1 (Debug UART: `uart2m0`):
```ini
chosen: chosen {
bootargs = "earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xfe660000 console=ttyFIQ0";
};
fiq-debugger {
compatible = "rockchip,fiq-debugger";
rockchip,serial-id = <2>;
rockchip,wake-irq = <0>;
/* If enable uart uses irq instead of fiq */
rockchip,irq-mode-enable = <1>;
rockchip,baudrate = <1500000>; /* Only 115200 and 1500000 */
interrupts = <GIC_SPI 252 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&uart2m0_xfer>;
status = "okay";
};
```
