| J721E Platforms |
| =============== |
| |
| Introduction: |
| ------------- |
| The J721e family of SoCs are part of K3 Multicore SoC architecture platform |
| targeting automotive applications. They are designed as a low power, high |
| performance and highly integrated device architecture, adding significant |
| enhancement on processing power, graphics capability, video and imaging |
| processing, virtualization and coherent memory support. |
| |
| The device is partitioned into three functional domains, each containing |
| specific processing cores and peripherals: |
| |
| 1. Wake-up (WKUP) domain: |
| * Device Management and Security Controller (DMSC) |
| |
| 2. Microcontroller (MCU) domain: |
| * Dual Core ARM Cortex-R5F processor |
| |
| 3. MAIN domain: |
| * Dual core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 |
| * 2 x Dual cortex ARM Cortex-R5 subsystem |
| * 2 x C66x Digital signal processor sub system |
| * C71x Digital signal processor sub-system with MMA. |
| |

| Boot Flow: |
| ---------- |
| Boot flow is similar to that of AM65x SoC and extending it with remoteproc |
| support. Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow: |
| |

| :alt: Boot flow diagram |
| |
| - Here DMSC acts as master and provides all the critical services. R5/A72 |
| requests DMSC to get these services done as shown in the above diagram. |

| |
| Target Images |
| ------------- |
| |
| In order to boot we need tiboot3.bin, sysfw.itb, tispl.bin and u-boot.img. |
| Each SoC variant (GP, HS-FS and HS-SE) requires a different source for these |
| files. |
| |
| - GP |
| |
| * tiboot3-j721e-gp-evm.bin, sysfw-j721e-gp-evm.itb from step 3.1 |
| * tispl.bin_unsigned, u-boot.img_unsigned from step 3.2 |
| |
| - HS-FS |
| |
| * tiboot3-j721e_sr2-hs-fs-evm.bin, sysfw-j721e_sr2-hs-fs-evm.itb from step 3.1 |
| * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2 |
| |
| - HS-SE |
| |
| * tiboot3-j721e_sr2-hs-evm.bin, sysfw-j721e_sr2-hs-evm.itb from step 3.1 |
| * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2 |
| |
| Image formats: |
| -------------- |
| |
| - tiboot3.bin |
| |
| .. image:: img/no_multi_cert_tiboot3.bin.svg |
| :alt: tiboot3.bin image format |
| |

| :alt: tispl.bin image format |
| |
| - sysfw.itb |
| |
| .. image:: img/sysfw.itb.svg |
| :alt: sysfw.itb image format |
| |
| OSPI: |
| ----- |
| ROM supports booting from OSPI from offset 0x0. |
| |
| Flashing images to OSPI: |
| |
| Below commands can be used to download tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin, u-boot.img, |
| and sysfw.itb over tftp and then flash those to OSPI at their respective |
| addresses. |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash => |
| |
| sf probe |
| tftp ${loadaddr} tiboot3.bin |
| sf update $loadaddr 0x0 $filesize |
| tftp ${loadaddr} tispl.bin |
| sf update $loadaddr 0x80000 $filesize |
| tftp ${loadaddr} u-boot.img |
| sf update $loadaddr 0x280000 $filesize |
| tftp ${loadaddr} sysfw.itb |
| sf update $loadaddr 0x6C0000 $filesize |

| Firmware: |
| --------- |
| |
| The J721e u-boot allows firmware to be loaded for the Cortex-R5 subsystem. |
| The CPSW5G in J7200 and CPSW9G in J721E present in MAIN domain is configured |
| and controlled by the ethernet firmware that executes in the MAIN Cortex R5. |
| The default supported environment variables support loading these firmwares |
| from only MMC. "dorprocboot" env variable has to be set for the U-BOOT to load |
| and start the remote cores in the system. |
| |
| J721E common processor board can be attached to a Ethernet QSGMII card and the |
| PHY in the card has to be reset before it can be used for data transfer. |
| "do_main_cpsw0_qsgmii_phyinit" env variable has to be set for the U-BOOT to |
| configure this PHY. |
| |
| Debugging U-Boot |
| ---------------- |
| |
| See :ref:`Common Debugging environment - OpenOCD<k3_rst_refer_openocd>`: for |
| detailed setup information. |
| |
| .. warning:: |
| |
| **OpenOCD support since**: v0.12.0 |
| |
| If the default package version of OpenOCD in your development |
| environment's distribution needs to be updated, it might be necessary to |
| build OpenOCD from the source. |
| |
| .. include:: ../ti/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 |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| openocd -f board/ti_j721eevm.cfg |
