README.core_prefetch

1Core instruction prefetch disable
2---------------------------------
3To disable instruction prefetch of core; hwconfig needs to be updated.
4for e.g.
5setenv hwconfig 'fsl_ddr:bank_intlv=auto;core_prefetch:disable=0x02'
6
7Here 0x02 can be replaced with any valid value except Mask[0] bit. It
8represents 64 bit mask. The 64-bit Mask has one bit for each core.
9Mask[0] = core0
10Mask[1] = core1
11Mask[2] = core2
12etc
13If the bit is set ('b1) in the mask, then prefetch is disabled for
14that core when it is released from reset.
15
16core0 prefetch should not be disabled i.e. Mask[0] should never be set.
17Setting Mask[0] may lead to undefined behavior.
18
19Once disabled, prefetch remains disabled until the next reset.
20There is no function to re-enable prefetch.

1Falcon boot option
2------------------
3Falcon boot is a short cut boot method for SD/eMMC targets. It skips loading the
4RAM version U-Boot. Instead, it loads FIT image and boot directly to Linux.
5CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT enables falcon boot. CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT enables the FIT
6image support (also need CONFIG_SPL_OF_LIBFDT, CONFIG_SPL_FIT and optionally
7CONFIG_SPL_GZIP).
8
9To enable falcon boot, a hook function spl_start_uboot() returns 0 to indicate
10booting U-Boot is not the first choice. The kernel FIT image needs to be put
11at CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR. SPL mmc driver reads the header to
12determine if this is a FIT image. If true, FIT image components are parsed and
13copied or decompressed (if applicable) to their destinations. If FIT image is
14not found, normal U-Boot flow will follow.
15
16An important part of falcon boot is to prepare the device tree. A normal U-Boot
17does FDT fixups when booting Linux. For falcon boot, Linux boots directly from
18SPL, skipping the normal U-Boot. The device tree has to be prepared in advance.
19A command "spl export" should be called under the normal RAM version U-Boot.
20It is equivalent to go through "bootm" step-by-step until device tree fixup is
21done. The device tree in memory is the one needed for falcon boot. Falcon boot
22flow suggests to save this image to SD/eMMC at the location pointed by macro
23CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, with maximum size specified by macro
24CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS. However, when FIT image is used for
25Linux, the device tree stored in FIT image overwrites the memory loaded by spl
26driver from these sectors. We could change this loading order to favor the
27stored sectors. But when secure boot is enabled, these sectors are used for
28signature header and needs to be loaded before the FIT image. So it is important
29to understand the device tree in FIT image should be the one actually used, or
30leave it absent to favor the stored sectors. It is easier to deploy the FIT
31image with embedded static device tree to multiple boards.
32
33Macro CONFIG_SYS_SPL_ARGS_ADDR serves two purposes. One is the pointer to load
34the stored sectors to. Normally this is the static device tree. The second
35purpose is the memory location of signature header for secure boot. After the
36FIT image is loaded into memory, it is validated against the signature header
37before individual components are extracted (and optionally decompressed) into
38their final memory locations, respectively. After the validation, the header
39is no longer used. The static device tree is copied into this location. So
40this macro is passed as the location of device tree when booting Linux.
41
42Steps to prepare static device tree
43-----------------------------------
44To prepare the static device tree for Layerscape boards, it is important to
45understand the fixups in U-Boot. Memory size and location, as well as reserved
46memory blocks are added/updated. Ethernet MAC addressed are updated. FMan
47microcode (if used) is embedded in the device tree. Kernel command line and
48initrd information are embedded. Others including CPU status, boot method,
49Ethernet port status, etc. are also updated.
50
51Following normal booting process, all variables are set, all images are loaded
52before "bootm" command would be issued to boot, run command
53
54spl export fdt <address>
55
56where the address is the location of FIT image. U-Boot goes through the booting
57process as if "bootm start", "bootm loados", "bootm ramdisk"... commands but
58stops before "bootm go". There we have the fixed-up device tree in memory.
59We can check the device tree header by these commands
60
61fdt addr <fdt address>
62fdt header
63
64Where the fdt address is the device tree in memory. It is printed by U-Boot.
65It is useful to know the exact size. One way to extract this static device
66tree is to save it to eMMC/SD using command in U-Boot, and extract under Linux
67with these commands, repectively
68
69mmc write <address> <sector> <sectors>
70dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=<filename> bs=512 skip=<sector> count=<sectors>
71
72Note, U-Boot takes values as hexadecimals while Linux takes them as decimals by
73default. If using NAND or other storage, the commands are slightly different.
74When we have the static device tree image, we can re-make the FIT image with
75it. It is important to specify the load addresses in FIT image for every
76components. Otherwise U-Boot cannot load them correctly.
77
78Generate FIT image with static device tree
79------------------------------------------
80Example:
81
82/dts-v1/;
83
84/ {
85	description = "Image file for the LS1043A Linux Kernel";
86	#address-cells = <1>;
87
88	images {
89		kernel {
90			description = "ARM64 Linux kernel";
91			data = /incbin/("./arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz");
92			type = "kernel";
93			arch = "arm64";
94			os = "linux";
95			compression = "gzip";
96			load = <0x80080000>;
97			entry = <0x80080000>;
98		};
99		fdt-1 {
100			description = "Flattened Device Tree blob";
101			data = /incbin/("./fsl-ls1043ardb-static.dtb");
102			type = "flat_dt";
103			arch = "arm64";
104			compression = "none";
105			load = <0x90000000>;
106		};
107		ramdisk {
108			description = "LS1043 Ramdisk";
109                        data = /incbin/("./rootfs.cpio.gz");
110			type = "ramdisk";
111			arch = "arm64";
112			os = "linux";
113			compression = "none";
114			load = <0xa0000000>;
115		};
116	};
117
118	configurations {
119		default = "config-1";
120		config-1 {
121			description = "Boot Linux kernel";
122			kernel = "kernel";
123			fdt = "fdt-1";
124			ramdisk = "ramdisk";
125			loadables = "fdt", "ramdisk";
126		};
127	};
128};
129
130The "loadables" is not optional. It tells SPL which images to load into memory.
131
132Falcon mode with QSPI boot
133--------------------------
134To use falcon mode with QSPI boot, SPL needs to be enabled. Similar to SD or
135NAND boot, a RAM version full feature U-Boot is needed. Unlike SD or NAND boot,
136SPL with QSPI doesn't need to combine SPL image with RAM version image. Two
137separated images are used, u-boot-spl.pbl and u-boot.img. The former is SPL
138image with RCW and PBI commands to load the SPL payload into On-Chip RAM. The
139latter is RAM version U-Boot in FIT format (or legacy format if FIT is not
140used).
141
142Other things to consider
143-----------------------
144Falcon boot skips a lot of initialization in U-Boot. If Linux expects the
145hardware to be initialized by U-Boot, the related code should be ported to SPL
146build. For example, if Linux expect Ethernet PHY to be initialized in U-Boot
147(which is not a common case), the PHY initialization has to be included in
148falcon boot. This increases the SPL image size and should be handled carefully.
149If Linux has PHY driver enabled, it still depends on the correct MDIO bus setup
150in U-Boot. Normal U-Boot sets the MDC ratio to generate a proper clock signal.

12Watchdog support Overview
13-------------------
14Support watchdog driver for LSCH2. The driver is disabled in default.
15You can enable it by setting CONFIG_IMX_WATCHDOG.
16Use following config to set watchdog timeout, if this config is not defined,
17the default timeout value is 128s which is the maximum. Set 10 seconds for
18example:
19Set CONFIG_WATCHDOG_RESET_DISABLE to disable reset watchdog, so that the
20watchdog will not be fed in u-boot.

12DDR Layout
13============
14Entire DDR region splits into two regions.
15 - Region 1 is at address 0x8000_0000 to 0xffff_ffff.
16 - Region 2 is at 0x80_8000_0000 to the top of total memory,
17   for example 16GB, 0x83_ffff_ffff.
18
19All DDR memory is marked as cache-enabled.
20
21When MC and Debug server is enabled, they carve 512MB away from the high
22end of DDR. For example, if the total DDR is 16GB, it shrinks to 15.5GB
23with MC and Debug server enabled. Linux only sees 15.5GB.
24
25The reserved 512MB layout looks like
26
27   +---------------+ <-- top/end of memory
28   |    256MB      |  debug server
29   +---------------+
30   |    256MB      |  MC
31   +---------------+
32   |     ...       |
33
34MC requires the memory to be aligned with 512MB, so even debug server is
35not enabled, 512MB is reserved, not 256MB.

116Environment Variables
117=====================
118mcboottimeout:	MC boot timeout in milliseconds. If this variable is not defined
119		the value CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_BOOT_TIMEOUT_MS will be assumed.
120
121mcmemsize:	MC DRAM block size in hex. If this variable is not defined, the value
122		CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE will be assumed.
123
124mcinitcmd:	This environment variable is defined to initiate MC and DPL deployment
125		from the location where it is stored(NOR, NAND, SD, SATA, USB)during
126		u-boot booting.If this variable is not defined then MC_BOOT_ENV_VAR
127		will be null and MC will not be booted and DPL will not be applied
128		during U-boot booting.However the MC, DPC and DPL can be applied from
129		console independently.
130		The variable needs to be set from the console once and then on
131		rebooting the parameters set in the variable will automatically be
132		executed. The commmand is demostrated taking an example of mc boot
133		using NOR Flash i.e. MC, DPL, and DPC is stored in the NOR flash:
134
135		cp.b 0xa0000000 0x580300000 $filesize
136		cp.b 0x80000000 0x580800000 $filesize
137		cp.b 0x90000000 0x580700000 $filesize
138
139		setenv mcinitcmd 'fsl_mc start mc 0x580300000 0x580800000'
140
141		If only linux is to be booted then the mcinitcmd environment should be set as
142
143		setenv mcinitcmd 'fsl_mc start mc 0x580300000 0x580800000;fsl_mc apply DPL 0x580700000'
144
145		Here the addresses 0xa0000000, 0x80000000, 0x80000000 are of DDR to where
146		MC binary, DPC binary and DPL binary are stored and 0x580300000, 0x580800000
147		and 0x580700000 are addresses in NOR where these are copied. It is to be
148		noted that these addresses in 'fsl_mc start mc 0x580300000 0x580800000;fsl_mc apply DPL 0x580700000'
149		can be replaced with the addresses of DDR to
150		which these will be copied in case of these binaries being stored in other
151		devices like SATA, USB, NAND, SD etc.
152
153Booting from NAND
154-------------------
155Booting from NAND requires two images, RCW and u-boot-with-spl.bin.
156The difference between NAND boot RCW image and NOR boot image is the PBI
157command sequence. Below is one example for PBI commands for LS2085AQDS which
158uses NAND device with 2KB/page, block size 128KB.
159
1601) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00404, data=0x00000000
1612) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00400, data=0x1800a000
162The above two commands set bootloc register to 0x00000000_1800a000 where
163the u-boot code will be running in OCRAM.
164
1653) Block Copy: SRC=0x0107, SRC_ADDR=0x00020000, DEST_ADDR=0x1800a000,
166BLOCK_SIZE=0x00014000
167This command copies u-boot image from NAND device into OCRAM. The values need
168to adjust accordingly.
169
170SRC		should match the cfg_rcw_src, the reset config pins. It depends
171		on the NAND device. See reference manual for cfg_rcw_src.
172SRC_ADDR	is the offset of u-boot-with-spl.bin image in NAND device. In
173		the example above, 128KB. For easy maintenance, we put it at
174		the beginning of next block from RCW.
175DEST_ADDR	is fixed at 0x1800a000, matching bootloc set above.
176BLOCK_SIZE	is the size to be copied by PBI.
177
178RCW image should be written to the beginning of NAND device. Example of using
179u-boot command
180
181nand write <rcw image in memory> 0 <size of rcw image>
182
183To form the NAND image, build u-boot with NAND config, for example,
184ls2080aqds_nand_defconfig. The image needed is u-boot-with-spl.bin.
185The u-boot image should be written to match SRC_ADDR, in above example 0x20000.
186
187nand write <u-boot image in memory> 200000 <size of u-boot image>
188
189With these two images in NAND device, the board can boot from NAND.
190
191Another example for LS2085ARDB boards,
192
1931) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00404, data=0x00000000
1942) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00400, data=0x1800a000
1953) Block Copy: SRC=0x0119, SRC_ADDR=0x00080000, DEST_ADDR=0x1800a000,
196BLOCK_SIZE=0x00014000
197
198nand write <rcw image in memory> 0 <size of rcw image>
199nand write <u-boot image in memory> 80000 <size of u-boot image>
200
201Notice the difference from QDS is SRC, SRC_ADDR and the offset of u-boot image
202to match board NAND device with 4KB/page, block size 512KB.
203
204Note, LS2088A and LS1088A don't support booting from NAND.
205
206Booting from SD/eMMC
207-------------------
208Booting from SD/eMMC requires two images, RCW and u-boot-with-spl.bin.
209The difference between SD boot RCW image and QSPI-NOR boot image is the
210PBI command sequence. Below is one example for PBI commands for RDB
211and QDS which uses SD device with block size 512. Block location can be
212calculated by dividing offset with block size.
213
2141) Block Copy: SRC=0x0040, SRC_ADDR=0x00100000, DEST_ADDR=0x1800a000,
215BLOCK_SIZE=0x00016000
216
217This command copies u-boot image from SD device into OCRAM. The values
218need to adjust accordingly for SD/eMMC
219
220SRC		should match the cfg_rcw_src, the reset config pins.
221		The value for source(SRC) can be 0x0040 or 0x0041
222		depending upon SD or eMMC.
223SRC_ADDR	is the offset of u-boot-with-spl.bin image in SD device.
224		In the example above, 1MB. This is same as QSPI-NOR.
225DEST_ADDR	is configured at 0x1800a000, matching bootloc set above.
226BLOCK_SIZE	is the size to be copied by PBI.
227
2282) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x01e00404, data=0x00000000
2293) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x01e00400, data=0x1800a000
230The above two commands set bootloc register to 0x00000000_1800a000 where
231the u-boot code will be running in OCRAM.
232
233
234RCW image should be written at 8th block of device(SD/eMMC). Example of
235using u-boot command
236
237mmc erase 0x8 0x10
238mmc write <rcw image in memory> 0x8 <size of rcw in block count typical value=10>
239
240To form the SD-Boot image, build u-boot with SD config, for example,
241ls1088ardb_sdcard_qspi_defconfig. The image needed is u-boot-with-spl.bin.
242The u-boot image should be written to match SRC_ADDR, in above example
243offset 0x100000 in other work it means block location 0x800
244
245mmc erase 0x800 0x1800
246mmc write <u-boot image in memory> 0x800 <size of u-boot image in block count>
247
248With these two images in SD/eMMC device, the board can boot from SD/eMMC.

322DPAA2 commands to manage Management Complex (MC)
323------------------------------------------------
324DPAA2 commands has been introduced to manage Management Complex
325(MC). These commands are used to start mc, aiop and apply DPL
326from u-boot command prompt.
327
328Please note Management complex Firmware(MC), DPL and DPC are no
329more deployed during u-boot boot-sequence.
330
331Commands:
332a) fsl_mc start mc <FW_addr> <DPC_addr> - Start Management Complex
333b) fsl_mc apply DPL <DPL_addr> - Apply DPL file
334c) fsl_mc start aiop <FW_addr> - Start AIOP
335
336How to use commands :-
3371. Command sequence for u-boot ethernet:
338   a) fsl_mc start mc <FW_addr> <DPC_addr> - Start Management Complex
339   b) DPMAC net-devices are now available for use
340
341   Example-
342	Assumption: MC firmware, DPL and DPC dtb is already programmed
343	on NOR flash.
344
345	=> fsl_mc start mc 580300000 580800000
346	=> setenv ethact DPMAC1@xgmii

363	=> bootm a0000000
364
3653. Command sequence for AIOP boot:
366   a) fsl_mc start mc <FW_addr> <DPC_addr> - Start Management Complex
367   b) fsl_mc start aiop <FW_addr> - Start AIOP
368   c) fsl_mc apply DPL <DPL_addr> - Apply DPL file
369   d) No DPMAC net-devices are availabe for use in u-boot
370  Please note actual AIOP start will happen during DPL parsing of
371  Management complex
372
373  Example-
374	Assumption: MC firmware, DPL, DPC dtb and AIOP firmware is already
375	programmed on NOR flash.
376

379	=> setenv ethact DPMAC1@xgmii
380	=> fsl_mc apply dpl 580700000
381
382Errata A009635
383---------------
384If the core runs at higher than x3 speed of the platform, there is
385possiblity about sev instruction to getting missed by other cores.
386This is because of SoC Run Control block may not able to sample
387the EVENTI(Sev) signals.
388
389Workaround: Configure Run Control and EPU to periodically send out EVENTI signals to
390wake up A57 cores
391
392Errata workaround uses Env variable "a009635_interval_val". It uses decimal
393value.
394- Default value of env variable is platform clock (MHz)
395
396- User can modify default value by updating the env variable
397  setenv a009635_interval_val 600; saveenv;
398  It configure platform clock as 600 MHz
399
400- Env variable as 0 signifies no workaround

7Specifying extra IOMMU mappings for PCI controllers
8
9This feature can be enabled through the PCI_IOMMU_EXTRA_MAPPINGS Kconfig option.
10
11The "pci_iommu_extra" env var or "pci-iommu-extra" device tree property (to be
12used for example in more static scenarios such as hardwired PCI endpoints that
13get initialized later in the system setup) allows two things:
14 - for a SRIOV capable PCI EP identified by its B.D.F specify the maximum number
15   of VFs that will ever be created for it
16 - for hot-plug case, specify the B.D.F with which the device will show up on
17   the PCI bus
18
19The env var consists of a list of <bdf>,<action> pairs for a certain pci bus
20identified by its controller's base register address, as defined in the "reg"
21property in the device tree.
22
23pci_iommu_extra = pci@<addr1>,<bdf>,<action>,<bdf>,<action>,
24		  pci@<addr2>,<bdf>,<action>,<bdf>,<action>,...
25
26where:
27 <addr> is the base register address of the pci controller for which the
28        subsequent <bdf>,<action> pairs apply
29 <bdf> identifies to which B.D.F the action applies to
30 <action> can be:
31    - "vfs=<number>" to specify that for the PCI EP identified previously by
32      the <bdf> to include mappings for <number> of VFs.
33      The variant "noari_vfs=<number>" is available to disable taking ARI into
34      account.
35    - "hp" to specify that on this <bdf> there will be a hot-plugged device so
36      it needs a mapping
37The device tree property must be placed under the correct pci controller node
38and only the bdf and action pairs need to be specified, like this:
39
40pci-iommu-extra = "<bdf>,<action>,<bdf>,<action>,...";
41
42Note: the env var has priority over the device tree property.
43
44For example, given this configuration on bus 6:
45
46=> pci 6
47Scanning PCI devices on bus 6
48BusDevFun  VendorId   DeviceId   Device Class       Sub-Class
49_____________________________________________________________
5006.00.00   0x8086     0x1572     Network controller      0x00
5106.00.01   0x8086     0x1572     Network controller      0x00
52
53The following u-boot env var will create iommu mappings for 3 VFs for each PF:
54
55=> setenv pci_iommu_extra pci@0x3800000,6.0.0,vfs=3,6.0.1,vfs=3
56
57For the device tree case, this would be specified like this:
58
59pci-iommu-extra = "6.0.0,vfs=3,6.0.1,vfs=3";
60
61To add an iommu mapping for a hot-plugged device, please see following example:
62
63=> setenv pci_iommu_extra pci@0x3800000,2.16.0,hp
64
65For the device tree case, this would be specified like this:
66
67pci-iommu-extra = "2.16.0,hp";

14Booting from QSPI
15-------------------
16Booting from QSPI requires two images, RCW and u-boot-dtb.bin.
17The difference between QSPI boot RCW image and NOR boot image is the PBI
18command sequence for setting the boot location pointer. It's should point
19to the address for u-boot in QSPI flash.
20
21RCW image should be written to the beginning of QSPI flash device.
22Example of using u-boot command
23
24=> sf probe 0:0
25SF: Detected S25FL256S_64K with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 64 KiB, total 32 MiB
26=> sf erase 0 +<size of rcw image>
27SF: 65536 bytes @ 0x0 Erased: OK
28=> sf write <rcw image in memory> 0 <size of rcw image>
29SF: 164 bytes @ 0x0 Written: OK
30
31To get the QSPI image, build u-boot with QSPI config, for example,
32<board_name>_qspi_defconfig. The image needed is u-boot-dtb.bin.
33The u-boot image should be written to 0x10000(but 0x1000 for LS1043A, LS2080A).
34
35=> sf probe 0:0
36SF: Detected S25FL256S_64K with page size 256 Bytes, erase size 64 KiB, total 32 MiB
37=> sf erase 10000 +<size of u-boot image>
38SF: 589824 bytes @ 0x10000 Erased: OK
39=> sf write <u-boot image in memory> 10000 <size of u-boot image>
40SF: 580966 bytes @ 0x10000 Written: OK
41
42With these two images in QSPI flash device, the board can boot from QSPI.
