| 2 | ------------- |
| 3 | The AM65x family of SoCs is the first device family from K3 Multicore |
| 4 | SoC architecture, targeted for broad market and industrial control with |
| 5 | aim to meet the complex processing needs of modern embedded products. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The device is built over three domains, each containing specific processing |
| 8 | cores, voltage domains and peripherals: |
| 9 | 1. Wake-up (WKUP) domain: |
| 10 | - Device Management and Security Controller (DMSC) |
| 11 | 2. Microcontroller (MCU) domain: |
| 12 | - Dual Core ARM Cortex-R5F processor |
| 13 | 3. MAIN domain: |
| 14 | - Quad core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 |
| 15 | |

| 17 | |
| 18 | Boot Flow: |
| 19 | ---------- |
| 20 | On AM65x family devices, ROM supports boot only via MCU(R5). This means that |
| 21 | bootloader has to run on R5 core. In order to meet this constraint, and for |
| 22 | the following reasons the boot flow is designed as mentioned: |
| 23 | 1. Need to move away from R5 asap, so that we want to start *any* |
| 24 | firmware on the r5 cores like.... autosar can be loaded to receive CAN |
| 25 | response and other safety operations to be started. This operation is |
| 26 | very time critical and is applicable for all automotive use cases. |
| 27 | 2. U-Boot on A53 should start other remotecores for various |
| 28 | applications. This should happen before running Linux. |
| 29 | 3. In production boot flow, we might not like to use full u-boot, |
| 30 | instead use Flacon boot flow to reduce boot time. |

| 213 | eMMC: |
| 214 | ----- |
| 215 | ROM supports booting from eMMC from boot0 partition offset 0x0 |
| 216 | |
| 217 | Flashing images to eMMC: |
| 218 | |
| 219 | The following commands can be used to download tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin, |
| 220 | u-boot.img, and sysfw.itb from an SD card and write them to the eMMC boot0 |
| 221 | partition 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 | |
| 233 | To give the ROM access to the boot partition, the following commands must be |
| 234 | used for the first time: |
| 235 | => mmc partconf 0 1 1 1 |
| 236 | => mmc bootbus 0 1 0 0 |
| 237 | |
| 238 | To create a software partition for the rootfs, the following command can be |
| 239 | used: |
| 240 | => gpt write mmc 0 ${partitions} |
| 241 | |
| 242 | eMMC layout: |
| 243 | |
| 244 | boot0 partition (8 MB) user partition |
| 245 | 0x0+----------------------------------+ 0x0+-------------------------+ |

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

| 267 | ROM supports booting from OSPI from offset 0x0. |
| 268 | |
| 269 | Flashing images to OSPI: |
| 270 | |
| 271 | Below commands can be used to download tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin, u-boot.img, |
| 272 | and sysfw.itb over tftp and then flash those to OSPI at their respective |
| 273 | addresses. |
| 274 | |
| 275 | => sf probe |
| 276 | => tftp ${loadaddr} tiboot3.bin |
| 277 | => sf update $loadaddr 0x0 $filesize |
| 278 | => tftp ${loadaddr} tispl.bin |

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

| 321 | ----- |
| 322 | ROM supports booting from MCU_UART0 via X-Modem protocol. The entire UART-based |
| 323 | boot process up to U-Boot (proper) prompt goes through different stages and uses |
| 324 | different UART peripherals as follows: |
| 325 | |
| 326 | WHO | Loading WHAT | HW Module | Protocol |
| 327 | ----------+---------------+-------------+------------ |
| 328 | Boot ROM | tiboot3.bin | MCU_UART0 | X-Modem(*) |

| 330 | R5 SPL | tispl.bin | MAIN_UART0 | Y-Modem |
| 331 | A53 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 | |
| 337 | Example bash script sequence for running on a Linux host PC feeding all boot |
