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.

eMMC:
|
|
-----
|
|
ROM supports booting from eMMC from boot0 partition offset 0x0
|
|
|
|
Flashing images to eMMC:
|
|
|
|
The following commands can be used to download tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin,
|
|
u-boot.img, and sysfw.itb from an SD card and write them to the eMMC boot0
|
|
partition at respective addresses.
|
|
|
|
=> mmc dev 0 1
|
|
=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} tiboot3.bin
|
|
=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x0 0x400
|
|
=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} tispl.bin
|
|
=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x400 0x1000
|
|
=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} u-boot.img
|
|
=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x1400 0x2000
|
|
=> fatload mmc 1 ${loadaddr} sysfw.itb
|
|
=> mmc write ${loadaddr} 0x3600 0x800
|
|
|
|
To give the ROM access to the boot partition, the following commands must be
|
|
used for the first time:
|
|
=> mmc partconf 0 1 1 1
|
|
=> mmc bootbus 0 1 0 0
|
|
|
|
To create a software partition for the rootfs, the following command can be
|
|
used:
|
|
=> gpt write mmc 0 ${partitions}
|
|
|
|
eMMC layout:
|
|
|
|
boot0 partition (8 MB) user partition

|
|
|
|
Kernel image and DT are expected to be present in the /boot folder of rootfs.
|
|
To boot kernel from eMMC, use the following commands:
|
|
=> setenv mmcdev 0
|
|
=> setenv bootpart 0
|
|
=> boot
|
|
|
|
UART:
|
|
-----
|
|
ROM supports booting from MCU_UART0 via X-Modem protocol. The entire UART-based
|
|
boot process up to U-Boot (proper) prompt goes through different stages and uses
|
|
different UART peripherals as follows:
|
|
|
|
WHO | Loading WHAT | HW Module | Protocol
|
|
----------+---------------+-------------+------------
|
|
Boot ROM | tiboot3.bin | MCU_UART0 | X-Modem(*)
|
|
R5 SPL | sysfw.itb | MCU_UART0 | Y-Modem(*)
|
|
R5 SPL | tispl.bin | MAIN_UART0 | Y-Modem
|
|
A53 SPL | u-boot.img | MAIN_UART0 | Y-Modem
|
|
|
|
(*) Note that in addition to X/Y-Modem related protocol timeouts the DMSC
|
|
watchdog timeout of 3min (typ.) needs to be observed until System Firmware
|
|
is fully loaded (from sysfw.itb) and started.
|
|
|
|
Example bash script sequence for running on a Linux host PC feeding all boot
|
|
artifacts needed to the device:
|
|
|
|
MCU_DEV=/dev/ttyUSB1
|
|
MAIN_DEV=/dev/ttyUSB0
|
|
|
|
stty -F $MCU_DEV 115200 cs8 -cstopb -parenb
|
|
stty -F $MAIN_DEV 115200 cs8 -cstopb -parenb
|
|
|
|
sb --xmodem tiboot3.bin > $MCU_DEV < $MCU_DEV
|
|
sb --ymodem sysfw.itb > $MCU_DEV < $MCU_DEV
|
|
sb --ymodem tispl.bin > $MAIN_DEV < $MAIN_DEV
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
sb --xmodem u-boot.img > $MAIN_DEV < $MAIN_DEV
