BSP building

ATF

git clone https://git.trustedfirmware.org/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a.git
cd /path/to/trusted-firmware-a
make distcleanclean
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- PLAT=rk3399 bl31
export BL31=/path/to/arm-trusted-firmware/build/rk3399/release/bl31/bl31.elf

U-Boot

git clone https://github.com/amarula/u-boot-amarula
cd u-boot-amarula
git checkout -b rockchip origin/rockchip
make nanopi-m4-rk3399_defconfig
make

Linux

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
cd linux-next
make mrproper
ARCH=arm64 make defconfig
ARCH=arm64 make Image dtbs -j 16

Booting from

SD:

cd /path/to/u-boot
sudo dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=64
sync

Put this SD (or micro-SD) card into your board and reset it. You should see something like on minicom(1500000 8N1):
