U-Boot Compilation

$exportCROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-none-elf-
$makejethub_j100_defconfig
$make

U-Boot Signing with Pre-Built FIP repo

$gitclonehttps://github.com/LibreELEC/amlogic-boot-fip--depth=1
$cdamlogic-boot-fip
$mkdirmy-output-dir
$./build-fip.shjethub-j100/path/to/u-boot/u-boot.binmy-output-dir

U-Boot Manual Signing

Amlogic does not provide sources for the firmware and tools needed to create a bootloader image so it is necessary to obtain binaries from sources published by the board vendor:

$gitclonehttps://github.com/jethome-ru/jethub-aml-toolsjethub-u-boot
$cdjethub-u-boot
$exportFIPDIR=$PWD

Go back to the mainline U-Boot source tree then:

$mkdirfip
$cp$FIPDIR/j100/bl2.binfip/
$cp$FIPDIR/j100/acs.binfip/
$cp$FIPDIR/j100/bl21.binfip/

Then write U-Boot to SD or eMMC with:
