| AM62A Platforms |
| =============== |
| |
| Introduction: |
| ------------- |
| The AM62A SoC family is built on the K3 Multicore SoC architecture platform, |
| providing a deep learning accelerator, multi-camera support with ISP, video |
| transcoder and other BOM-saving integrations. |
| The AM62A SoC enables cost-sensitive automotive applications including driver |
| and in-cabin monitoring systems, next generation of eMirror system, as well as |
| a broad set of industrial applications in Factory Automation, Building |
| Automation, Robotics and more. |
| |
| Some highlights of this SoC are: |
| |
| * Quad-Cortex-A53s (running up to 1.4GHz) in a single cluster. |
| * Cortex-R5F for general-purpose or safety usage. |
| * Deep Learning Accelerator with Single-core C7x Vector DSP with MMA (up to |
| 1.0GHz). |
| * Vision Processing Accelerator (VPAC) with a 315MPixel/s ISP (up to 5MP @ |
| 60fps) supporting 16-bit RAW input with RGB-IR separation. |
| * 4K Video encoder and decoder for HEVC (Level 5.1 High-tier) and H.264 (Level |
| 5.2) supporting upto 240MPixels/s and MJPEG encoder at 416MPixels/s |
| * Single display with 24-bit RGB parallel (DPI) interface supporting upto |
| 165Mhz pixel clock for 2K resolution. |
| * Integrated Giga-bit Ethernet switch supporting up to a total of two |
| external ports (TSN capable). |
| * 9xUARTs, 5xSPI, 6xI2C, 2xUSB2, 3xCAN-FD, 3x eMMC and SD, GPMC for |
| NAND/FPGA connection, OSPI memory controller, 3xMcASP for audio, |
| 1x CSI-RX-4L for Camera, eCAP/eQEP, ePWM, among other peripherals. |
| * Dedicated Centralized System Controller for Security, Power, and |
| Resource Management. |
| * Multiple low power modes support, ex: Deep sleep, Standby, MCU-only, |
| enabling battery powered system design. |

| Boot Flow: |
| ---------- |
| Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow: |

| |
| - Here TIFS acts as master and provides all the critical services. R5/A53 |
| requests TIFS to get these services done as shown in the above diagram. |

| Target Images |
| -------------- |
| In order to boot we need tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin and u-boot.img. Each SoC |
| variant (GP, HS-FS, HS-SE) requires a different source for these files. |
| |
| - GP |
| |
| * tiboot3-am62ax-gp-evm.bin from step 3.1 |
| * tispl.bin_unsigned, u-boot.img_unsigned from step 3.2 |
| |
| - HS-FS |
| |
| * tiboot3-am62ax-hs-fs-evm.bin from step 3.1 |
| * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2 |
| |
| - HS-SE |
| |
| * tiboot3-am62ax-hs-evm.bin from step 3.1 |
| * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2 |
| |
| Image formats: |
| -------------- |
| |
| - tiboot3.bin |
| |
| .. image:: img/multi_cert_tiboot3.bin.svg |

| |
| - tispl.bin |

| |
| Switch Setting for Boot Mode |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| Boot Mode pins provide means to select the boot mode and options before the |
| device is powered up. After every POR, they are the main source to populate |
| the Boot Parameter Tables. |
| |
| The following table shows some common boot modes used on AM62 platform. More |
| details can be found in the Technical Reference Manual: |
| https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruj16 under the `Boot Mode Pins` section. |
| |
| .. list-table:: Boot Modes |
| :widths: 16 16 16 |
| :header-rows: 1 |

| Debugging U-Boot |
| ---------------- |
| |
| See :ref:`Common Debugging environment - OpenOCD<k3_rst_refer_openocd>`: for |
| detailed setup information. |
| |
| .. warning:: |
| |
| **OpenOCD support since**: August 2023 (git master) |
| |
| Until the next stable release of OpenOCD is available in your development |
| environment's distribution, it might be necessary to build OpenOCD `from the |
| source <https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd>`_. |
| |
| .. include:: k3.rst |
| :start-after: .. k3_rst_include_start_openocd_connect_XDS110 |
| :end-before: .. k3_rst_include_end_openocd_connect_XDS110 |
| |
| To start OpenOCD and connect to the board |
| |
| .. code-block:: bash |
