| 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/spruiv7 under the `Boot Mode Pins` section. |
| |
| .. list-table:: Boot Modes |
| :widths: 16 16 16 |

| |
| DFU based boot |
| -------------- |
| |
| To boot the board over DFU, set the switches to DFU mode and connect to the |
| USB type C DRD port on the board. After power-on the build artifacts needs to be |
| uploaded one by one with a tool like dfu-util. |
| |
| .. am62x_evm_rst_include_start_dfu_boot |
| |
| The initial ROM will have a DFU alt named `bootloader` for the initial R5 spl |
| upload. The next stages as exposed by U-Boot have target alts matching the name |
| of the artifacts, for these a USB reset has to be done after each upload. |
| |
| When using dfu-util the following commands can be used to boot to a U-Boot shell: |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| dfu-util -a bootloader -D tiboot3.bin |
| dfu-util -R -a tispl -D tispl.bin |
| dfu-util -R -a u-boot.img -D u-boot.img |
| |
| .. am62x_evm_rst_include_end_dfu_boot |
| |
| Ethernet based boot |
| ------------------- |
| |
| To boot the board via Ethernet, configure the BOOT MODE pins for Ethernet boot. |
| |
| On powering on the device, ROM uses the Ethernet Port corresponding to CPSW3G's MAC |
| Port 1 to transmit "TI K3 Bootp Boot". |
| |
| The TFTP server and DHCP server on the receiver device need to be configured such |
| that VCI string "TI K3 Bootp Boot" maps to the file `tiboot3.bin` and the TFTP |
| server should be capable of transferring it to the device. |
| |
| **Configuring DHCP server includes following steps:** |
| |
| * Install DHCP server: |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server |
| |
| * Disable services before configuring: |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo systemctl disable --now isc-dhcp-server.service isc-dhcp-server6.service |
| |
| * DHCP server setup |
| |
| Run the ip link or ifconfig command to find the name of your network interface: |
| |
| Example |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| eno1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 |
| inet 172.24.145.229 netmask 255.255.254.0 broadcast 172.24.145.255 |

| TX packets 85238 bytes 7244462 (7.2 MB) |
| TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 |
| |
| Suppose we are using enxf8e43b8cffe8 interface, one end of it is connected to host PC |
| and other to board. |
| |
| * Do the following changes in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf in host PC. |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 |
| { |
| range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.5; |
| if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 16) = "TI K3 Bootp Boot" |
| { |
| filename "tiboot3.bin"; |
| } elsif substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "AM62X U-Boot R5 SPL" |
| { |
| filename "tispl.bin"; |
| } elsif substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 21) = "AM62X U-Boot A53 SPL" |
| { |
| filename "u-boot.img"; |
| } |
| default-lease-time 60000; |
| max-lease-time 720000; |
| next-server 192.168.0.1; |
| } |
| |
| * Do following changes in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| DHCPDv4_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf |
| INTERFACESv4="enxf8e43b8cffe8" |
| INTERFACESv6="" |
| |
| * For your interface change ip address and netmask to next-server and your netmask |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo ifconfig enxf8e43b8cffe8 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.254.0 |
| |
| * Enable DHCP |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo systemctl enable --now isc-dhcp-server |
| |
| * To see if there is any configuration error or if dhcp is running run |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo service isc-dhcp-server status |
| # If it shows error then something is wrong with configuration |
| |
| **For TFTP setup follow below steps:** |
| |
| * Install TFTP server: |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo apt install tftpd-hpa |
| |
| tftpd-hpa package should be installed. |
| |
| Now, check whether the tftpd-hpa service is running with the following command: |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo systemctl status tftpd-hpa |
| |
| * Configuring TFTP server: |
| |
| The default configuration file of tftpd-hpa server is /etc/default/tftpd-hpa. |
| If you want to configure the TFTP server, then you have to modify this configuration |
| file and restart the tftpd-hpa service afterword. |
| |
| To modify the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa configuration file, run the following command |
| |
| .. prompt:: bash $ |
| |
| sudo vim /etc/default/tftpd-hpa |
| |
| Configuration file may contain following configuration options by default: |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| # /etc/default/tftpd-hpa |
| |
| TFTP_USERNAME="tftp" |
| TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot" |
| TFTP_ADDRESS=":69" |
| TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure" |
| |
| Now change the **TFTP_DIRECTORY** to **/tftp** and add the **--create** option to the |
| **TFTP_OPTIONS**. Without the **--create** option, you won't be able to create or upload |
| new files to the TFTP server. You will only be able to update existing files. |
| |
| After above changes /etc/default/tftpd-hpa file would look like this: |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| # /etc/default/tftpd-hpa |
| |
| TFTP_USERNAME="tftp" |
| TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftp" |
| TFTP_ADDRESS=":69" |
| TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure --create" |
| |
| Since we have configured tftp directory as /tftp, put tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin |
| and u-boot.img after building it using sdk or manually cloning all the repos. |
| |
| To build binaries use following defconfig files: |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| am62x_evm_r5_ethboot_defconfig |
| am62x_evm_a53_ethboot_defconfig |
| |
| `tiboot3.bin` is expected to be built from `am62x_evm_r5_ethboot_defconfig` and |
| `tispl.bin` and `u-boot.img` are expected to be built from |
| `am62x_evm_a53_ethboot_defconfig`. |
| |
| Images should get fetched in following sequence as a part of boot procedure: |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| tiboot3.bin => tispl.bin => u-boot.img |
| |
| ROM loads and executes `tiboot3.bin` provided by the TFTP server. |
| |
| Next, based on NET_VCI_STRING string mentioned in respective defconfig file `tiboot3.bin` |
| fetches `tispl.bin` and then `tispl.bin` fetches `u-boot.img` from TFTP server which |
| completes Ethernet boot on the device. |
| |
| 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. |

| :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_am625evm.cfg |
