7Freescale LayerScape with Chassis Generation 3

9This architecture supports Freescale ARMv8 SoCs with Chassis generation 3,
10for example LS2080A.
11
12DDR Layout
13============
14Entire DDR region splits into two regions.
15 - Region 1 is at address 0x8000_0000 to 0xffff_ffff.
16 - Region 2 is at 0x80_8000_0000 to the top of total memory,
17   for example 16GB, 0x83_ffff_ffff.
18
19All DDR memory is marked as cache-enabled.
20
21When MC and Debug server is enabled, they carve 512MB away from the high
22end of DDR. For example, if the total DDR is 16GB, it shrinks to 15.5GB
23with MC and Debug server enabled. Linux only sees 15.5GB.
24
25The reserved 512MB layout looks like
26
27   +---------------+ <-- top/end of memory
28   |    256MB      |  debug server
29   +---------------+
30   |    256MB      |  MC
31   +---------------+
32   |     ...       |
33
34MC requires the memory to be aligned with 512MB, so even debug server is
35not enabled, 512MB is reserved, not 256MB.
36

115
116Environment Variables
117=====================
118mcboottimeout:	MC boot timeout in milliseconds. If this variable is not defined
119		the value CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_BOOT_TIMEOUT_MS will be assumed.
120
121mcmemsize:	MC DRAM block size in hex. If this variable is not defined, the value
122		CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE will be assumed.
123
124mcinitcmd:	This environment variable is defined to initiate MC and DPL deployment
125		from the location where it is stored(NOR, NAND, SD, SATA, USB)during
126		u-boot booting.If this variable is not defined then MC_BOOT_ENV_VAR
127		will be null and MC will not be booted and DPL will not be applied
128		during U-boot booting.However the MC, DPC and DPL can be applied from
129		console independently.
130		The variable needs to be set from the console once and then on
131		rebooting the parameters set in the variable will automatically be
132		executed. The commmand is demostrated taking an example of mc boot
133		using NOR Flash i.e. MC, DPL, and DPC is stored in the NOR flash:
134
135		cp.b 0xa0000000 0x580300000 $filesize
136		cp.b 0x80000000 0x580800000 $filesize
137		cp.b 0x90000000 0x580700000 $filesize
138
139		setenv mcinitcmd 'fsl_mc start mc 0x580300000 0x580800000'
140
141		If only linux is to be booted then the mcinitcmd environment should be set as
142
143		setenv mcinitcmd 'fsl_mc start mc 0x580300000 0x580800000;fsl_mc apply DPL 0x580700000'
144
145		Here the addresses 0xa0000000, 0x80000000, 0x80000000 are of DDR to where
146		MC binary, DPC binary and DPL binary are stored and 0x580300000, 0x580800000
147		and 0x580700000 are addresses in NOR where these are copied. It is to be
148		noted that these addresses in 'fsl_mc start mc 0x580300000 0x580800000;fsl_mc apply DPL 0x580700000'
149		can be replaced with the addresses of DDR to
150		which these will be copied in case of these binaries being stored in other
151		devices like SATA, USB, NAND, SD etc.
152
153Booting from NAND
154-------------------
155Booting from NAND requires two images, RCW and u-boot-with-spl.bin.
156The difference between NAND boot RCW image and NOR boot image is the PBI
157command sequence. Below is one example for PBI commands for LS2085AQDS which
158uses NAND device with 2KB/page, block size 128KB.
159
1601) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00404, data=0x00000000
1612) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00400, data=0x1800a000
162The above two commands set bootloc register to 0x00000000_1800a000 where
163the u-boot code will be running in OCRAM.
164
1653) Block Copy: SRC=0x0107, SRC_ADDR=0x00020000, DEST_ADDR=0x1800a000,
166BLOCK_SIZE=0x00014000
167This command copies u-boot image from NAND device into OCRAM. The values need
168to adjust accordingly.
169
170SRC		should match the cfg_rcw_src, the reset config pins. It depends
171		on the NAND device. See reference manual for cfg_rcw_src.
172SRC_ADDR	is the offset of u-boot-with-spl.bin image in NAND device. In
173		the example above, 128KB. For easy maintenance, we put it at
174		the beginning of next block from RCW.
175DEST_ADDR	is fixed at 0x1800a000, matching bootloc set above.
176BLOCK_SIZE	is the size to be copied by PBI.
177
178RCW image should be written to the beginning of NAND device. Example of using
179u-boot command
180
181nand write <rcw image in memory> 0 <size of rcw image>
182
183To form the NAND image, build u-boot with NAND config, for example,
184ls2080aqds_nand_defconfig. The image needed is u-boot-with-spl.bin.
185The u-boot image should be written to match SRC_ADDR, in above example 0x20000.
186
187nand write <u-boot image in memory> 200000 <size of u-boot image>
188
189With these two images in NAND device, the board can boot from NAND.
190
191Another example for LS2085ARDB boards,
192
1931) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00404, data=0x00000000
1942) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x00e00400, data=0x1800a000
1953) Block Copy: SRC=0x0119, SRC_ADDR=0x00080000, DEST_ADDR=0x1800a000,
196BLOCK_SIZE=0x00014000
197
198nand write <rcw image in memory> 0 <size of rcw image>
199nand write <u-boot image in memory> 80000 <size of u-boot image>
200
201Notice the difference from QDS is SRC, SRC_ADDR and the offset of u-boot image
202to match board NAND device with 4KB/page, block size 512KB.
203
204Note, LS2088A and LS1088A don't support booting from NAND.
205
206Booting from SD/eMMC
207-------------------
208Booting from SD/eMMC requires two images, RCW and u-boot-with-spl.bin.
209The difference between SD boot RCW image and QSPI-NOR boot image is the
210PBI command sequence. Below is one example for PBI commands for RDB
211and QDS which uses SD device with block size 512. Block location can be
212calculated by dividing offset with block size.
213
2141) Block Copy: SRC=0x0040, SRC_ADDR=0x00100000, DEST_ADDR=0x1800a000,
215BLOCK_SIZE=0x00016000
216
217This command copies u-boot image from SD device into OCRAM. The values
218need to adjust accordingly for SD/eMMC
219
220SRC		should match the cfg_rcw_src, the reset config pins.
221		The value for source(SRC) can be 0x0040 or 0x0041
222		depending upon SD or eMMC.
223SRC_ADDR	is the offset of u-boot-with-spl.bin image in SD device.
224		In the example above, 1MB. This is same as QSPI-NOR.
225DEST_ADDR	is configured at 0x1800a000, matching bootloc set above.
226BLOCK_SIZE	is the size to be copied by PBI.
227
2282) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x01e00404, data=0x00000000
2293) CCSR 4-byte write to 0x01e00400, data=0x1800a000
230The above two commands set bootloc register to 0x00000000_1800a000 where
231the u-boot code will be running in OCRAM.
232
233
234RCW image should be written at 8th block of device(SD/eMMC). Example of
235using u-boot command
236
237mmc erase 0x8 0x10
238mmc write <rcw image in memory> 0x8 <size of rcw in block count typical value=10>
239
240To form the SD-Boot image, build u-boot with SD config, for example,
241ls1088ardb_sdcard_qspi_defconfig. The image needed is u-boot-with-spl.bin.
242The u-boot image should be written to match SRC_ADDR, in above example
243offset 0x100000 in other work it means block location 0x800
244
245mmc erase 0x800 0x1800
246mmc write <u-boot image in memory> 0x800 <size of u-boot image in block count>
247
248With these two images in SD/eMMC device, the board can boot from SD/eMMC.

322DPAA2 commands to manage Management Complex (MC)
323------------------------------------------------
324DPAA2 commands has been introduced to manage Management Complex
325(MC). These commands are used to start mc, aiop and apply DPL
326from u-boot command prompt.
327
328Please note Management complex Firmware(MC), DPL and DPC are no
329more deployed during u-boot boot-sequence.
330
331Commands:
332a) fsl_mc start mc <FW_addr> <DPC_addr> - Start Management Complex
333b) fsl_mc apply DPL <DPL_addr> - Apply DPL file
334c) fsl_mc start aiop <FW_addr> - Start AIOP
335
336How to use commands :-
3371. Command sequence for u-boot ethernet:
338   a) fsl_mc start mc <FW_addr> <DPC_addr> - Start Management Complex
339   b) DPMAC net-devices are now available for use
340
341   Example-
342	Assumption: MC firmware, DPL and DPC dtb is already programmed
343	on NOR flash.
344
345	=> fsl_mc start mc 580300000 580800000
346	=> setenv ethact DPMAC1@xgmii
347	=> ping $serverip
348
3492. Command sequence for Linux boot:
350   a) fsl_mc start mc <FW_addr> <DPC_addr> - Start Management Complex
351   b) fsl_mc apply DPL <DPL_addr> - Apply DPL file
352   c) No DPMAC net-devices are available for use in u-boot
353   d) boot Linux
354
355   Example-
356	Assumption: MC firmware, DPL and DPC dtb is already programmed
357	on NOR flash.
358
359	=> fsl_mc start mc 580300000 580800000
360	=> setenv ethact DPMAC1@xgmii
361	=> tftp a0000000 kernel.itb
362	=> fsl_mc apply dpl 580700000
363	=> bootm a0000000
364
3653. Command sequence for AIOP boot:
366   a) fsl_mc start mc <FW_addr> <DPC_addr> - Start Management Complex
367   b) fsl_mc start aiop <FW_addr> - Start AIOP
368   c) fsl_mc apply DPL <DPL_addr> - Apply DPL file
369   d) No DPMAC net-devices are availabe for use in u-boot
370  Please note actual AIOP start will happen during DPL parsing of
371  Management complex
372
373  Example-
374	Assumption: MC firmware, DPL, DPC dtb and AIOP firmware is already
375	programmed on NOR flash.
376
377	=> fsl_mc start mc 580300000 580800000
378	=> fsl_mc start aiop 0x580900000
379	=> setenv ethact DPMAC1@xgmii
380	=> fsl_mc apply dpl 580700000

382Errata A009635
383---------------
384If the core runs at higher than x3 speed of the platform, there is
385possiblity about sev instruction to getting missed by other cores.
386This is because of SoC Run Control block may not able to sample
387the EVENTI(Sev) signals.
388
389Workaround: Configure Run Control and EPU to periodically send out EVENTI signals to
390wake up A57 cores
391
392Errata workaround uses Env variable "a009635_interval_val". It uses decimal
393value.
394- Default value of env variable is platform clock (MHz)
395
396- User can modify default value by updating the env variable
397  setenv a009635_interval_val 600; saveenv;
398  It configure platform clock as 600 MHz
399
400- Env variable as 0 signifies no workaround
