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. More info can be found in TRM: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruil1 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: .. code-block:: text +------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | DMSC | MCU R5 | A72 | MAIN R5/C66x/C7x | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | +--------+ | | | | | | Reset | | | | | | +--------+ | | | | | : | | | | | +--------+ | +-----------+ | | | | | *ROM* |----------|-->| Reset rls | | | | | +--------+ | +-----------+ | | | | | | | : | | | | | ROM | | : | | | | |services| | : | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | | *R5 ROM* | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | |<---------|---|Load and auth| | | | | | | | | tiboot3.bin | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | : | | | | | | | : | | | | | | | : | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | | *R5 SPL* | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | | Load | | | | | | | | | sysfw.itb | | | | | | Start | | +-------------+ | | | | | System |<---------|---| Start | | | | | |Firmware| | | SYSFW | | | | | +--------+ | +-------------+ | | | | : | | | | | | | +---------+ | | Load | | | | | | *SYSFW* | | | system | | | | | +---------+ | | Config data | | | | | | |<--------|---| | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | | DDR | | | | | | | | | config | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | | Load | | | | | | | | | tispl.bin | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | | Load R5 | | | | | | | | | firmware | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | |<--------|---| Start A72 | | | | | | | | | and jump to | | | | | | | | | DM fw image | | | | | | | | +-------------+ | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | |---------|-----------------------|---->| Reset rls | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | TIFS | | | : | | | |Services | | | +-----------+ | | | | |<--------|-----------------------|---->|*ATF/OPTEE*| | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | : | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | |<--------|-----------------------|---->| *A72 SPL* | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | Load | | | | | | | | | u-boot.img| | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | : | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | |<--------|-----------------------|---->| *U-Boot* | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | prompt | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | Load R5 | | | | | | | | | Firmware | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | |<--------|-----------------------|-----| Start R5 | | +-----------+ | | | |---------|-----------------------|-----+-----------+-----|----->| R5 starts | | | | | | | | Load C6 | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | Firmware | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | |<--------|-----------------------|-----| Start C6 | | +-----------+ | | | |---------|-----------------------|-----+-----------+-----|----->| C6 starts | | | | | | | | Load C7 | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | Firmware | | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | |<--------|-----------------------|-----| Start C7 | | +-----------+ | | | |---------|-----------------------|-----+-----------+-----|----->| C7 starts | | | +---------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+ - Here DMSC acts as master and provides all the critical services.

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.
