Lokesh Vutla0911d952018-08-27 15:59:06 +05301Introduction:
2-------------
3The AM65x family of SoCs is the first device family from K3 Multicore
4SoC architecture, targeted for broad market and industrial control with
5aim to meet the complex processing needs of modern embedded products.
6
7The device is built over three domains, each containing specific processing
8cores, voltage domains and peripherals:
91. Wake-up (WKUP) domain:
10 - Device Management and Security Controller (DMSC)
112. Microcontroller (MCU) domain:
12 - Dual Core ARM Cortex-R5F processor
133. MAIN domain:
14 - Quad core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53
15
16More info can be found in TRM: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruid7

18Boot Flow:
19----------
20On AM65x family devices, ROM supports boot only via MCU(R5). This means that
21bootloader has to run on R5 core. In order to meet this constraint, and for
22the following reasons the boot flow is designed as mentioned:
231. Need to move away from R5 asap, so that we want to start *any*
24firmware on the r5 cores like.... autosar can be loaded to receive CAN
25response and other safety operations to be started. This operation is
26very time critical and is applicable for all automotive use cases.
272. U-Boot on A53 should start other remotecores for various
28applications. This should happen before running Linux.
293. In production boot flow, we might not like to use full u-boot,
30instead use Flacon boot flow to reduce boot time.

213eMMC:
214-----
215ROM supports booting from eMMC from boot0 partition offset 0x0
216
217Flashing images to eMMC:
218
219The following commands can be used to download tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin,
220u-boot.img, and sysfw.itb from an SD card and write them to the eMMC boot0
221partition at respective addresses.
222
223=> mmc dev 0 1
224=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} tiboot3.bin
225=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x0 0x400
226=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} tispl.bin
227=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x400 0x1000
228=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} u-boot.img
229=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x1400 0x2000
230=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} sysfw.itb
231=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x3600 0x800
232
233To give the ROM access to the boot partition, the following commands must be
234used for the first time:
235=> mmc partconf 0 1 1 1
236=> mmc bootbus 0 1 0 0
237
238To create a software partition for the rootfs, the following command can be
239used:
240=> gpt write mmc 0 ${partitions}
241
242eMMC layout:
243
244 boot0 partition (8 MB) user partition
245 0x0+----------------------------------+ 0x0+-------------------------+

258
259Kernel image and DT are expected to be present in the /boot folder of rootfs.
260To boot kernel from eMMC, use the following commands:
261=> setenv mmcdev 0
262=> setenv bootpart 0
263=> boot

Vignesh Raghavendra29ab5d32020-02-04 11:09:57 +0530265OSPI:
266-----
267ROM supports booting from OSPI from offset 0x0.
268
269Flashing images to OSPI:
270
271Below commands can be used to download tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin, u-boot.img,
272and sysfw.itb over tftp and then flash those to OSPI at their respective
273addresses.
274
275=> sf probe
276=> tftp ${loadaddr} tiboot3.bin
277=> sf update $loadaddr 0x0 $filesize
278=> tftp ${loadaddr} tispl.bin
279=> sf update $loadaddr 0x80000 $filesize
280=> tftp ${loadaddr} u-boot.img
281=> sf update $loadaddr 0x280000 $filesize
282=> tftp ${loadaddr} sysfw.itb
283=> sf update $loadaddr 0x6C0000 $filesize
284
285Flash layout for OSPI:
286
287 0x0 +----------------------------+
288 | ospi.tiboot3(512K) |
289 | |
290 0x80000 +----------------------------+
291 | ospi.tispl(2M) |
292 | |
293 0x280000 +----------------------------+
294 | ospi.u-boot(4M) |
295 | |
296 0x680000 +----------------------------+
297 | ospi.env(128K) |
298 | |
299 0x6A0000 +----------------------------+
300 | ospi.env.backup (128K) |
301 | |
302 0x6C0000 +----------------------------+
303 | ospi.sysfw(1M) |

307 0x800000 +----------------------------+
308 | ospi.rootfs(UBIFS) |
309 | |
310 +----------------------------+
311
312Kernel Image and DT are expected to be present in the /boot folder of UBIFS
313ospi.rootfs just like in SD card case. U-Boot looks for UBI volume named
314"rootfs" for rootfs.
315
316To boot kernel from OSPI, at the U-Boot prompt:
317=> setenv boot ubi
318=> boot

Andreas Dannenbergbc741632019-08-15 15:55:32 -0500320UART:
321-----
322ROM supports booting from MCU_UART0 via X-Modem protocol. The entire UART-based
323boot process up to U-Boot (proper) prompt goes through different stages and uses
324different UART peripherals as follows:
325
326 WHO | Loading WHAT | HW Module | Protocol
327----------+---------------+-------------+------------
328Boot ROM | tiboot3.bin | MCU_UART0 | X-Modem(*)
329R5 SPL | sysfw.itb | MCU_UART0 | Y-Modem(*)
330R5 SPL | tispl.bin | MAIN_UART0 | Y-Modem
331A53 SPL | u-boot.img | MAIN_UART0 | Y-Modem
332
333(*) Note that in addition to X/Y-Modem related protocol timeouts the DMSC
334 watchdog timeout of 3min (typ.) needs to be observed until System Firmware
335 is fully loaded (from sysfw.itb) and started.
336
337Example bash script sequence for running on a Linux host PC feeding all boot
338artifacts needed to the device:
