Introduction:
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
The AM65x family of SoCs is the first device family from K3 Multicore
|
||
|
SoC architecture, targeted for broad market and industrial control with
|
||
|
aim to meet the complex processing needs of modern embedded products.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The device is built over three domains, each containing specific processing
|
||
|
cores, voltage domains 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:
|
||
|
- Quad core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53
|
||
|
|
||
|

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

- Here DMSC acts as master and provides all the critical services. R5/A53
|
||
|
requests DMSC to get these services done as shown in the above diagram.

Sources:
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
1. SYSFW:
|
||
|
System Firmware repo is closed source and the binaries are delivered
|
||
|
to users with NDA. Please contact TI to get the System Firmware
|
||
|
Binary named ti-sci-firmware-am6x.bin that runs on AM65x SoC.
|
||
|
|
||

Build procedure:
|
||
|
----------------
|
||
|
1. SYSFW:
|
||
|
ROM expects a signed binary that contains the X509 certificate. So
|
||
|
the binary ti-sci-firmware-am6x.bin cannot be uses as-is and needs to be signed.
|
||
|
Contact TI on the procedure to sign the system firmware binary.
