UART adapter board

Everything is configured to use the 96Boards UART Serial adapter. The UART is by default configured to UART6. If you have a v1 board and need to use UART5, then you need to change that before building. See CFG_CONSOLE_UART in hikey960.mk.

Build instructions

Just follow the instructions at “Get and build the solution”. If make flash doesn’t work, try make recovery.

For the 4GB RAM board version (rev B), an update to the CFG_DRAM_SIZE_GB setting in conf.mk is needed. Either update the value from 3 to 4 in conf.mk before building, or set the value on the command line when building, i.e make PLATFORM=hikey-hikey960 CFG_DRAM_SIZE_GB=4

Recovery

If you manage to corrupt the device, such that fastboot doesn’t load automatically on boot, then you will need to run the recovery procedure. Basically what you will need to do is use another make target and change some jumpers. All that is described when you run the target:
