-SRIO Boot on Corenet Platforms
-------------------------------
-
-For some PowerPC processors with SRIO interface, boot location can be configured
-to SRIO by RCW. The processor booting from SRIO can do without flash for u-boot
-image, ucode and ENV. All the images can be fetched from another processor's
-memory space by SRIO link connected between them.
-
-This document describes the processes based on an example implemented on P4080DS
-platforms and a RCW example with boot from SRIO configuration.
-
-Environment of the SRIO boot:
- a) Master and slave can be SOCs in one board or SOCs in separate boards.
- b) They are connected with SRIO links, whether 1x or 4x, and directly or
- through switch system.
- c) Only Master has NorFlash for booting, and all the Master's and Slave's
- U-Boot images, UCodes will be stored in this flash.
- d) Slave has its own EEPROM for RCW and PBI.
- e) Slave's RCW should configure the SerDes for SRIO boot port, set the boot
- location to SRIO, and holdoff all the cores.

- 2. Sequence in Step by Step.
- a) Update RCW for slave with boot from SRIO port 1 configuration.
- b) Program slave's U-Boot image, UCode, and ENV parameters into master's
- NorFlash.
- c) Set environment variable "bootmaster" to "SRIO1" and save environment
- for master.
- setenv bootmaster SRIO1
- saveenv
- d) Restart up master and it will boot up normally from its NorFlash.
- Then, it will finish necessary configurations for slave's boot from
- SRIO port 1.
- e) Master will set inbound SRIO windows covered slave's U-Boot image stored
- in master's NorFlash.
- f) Master will set an inbound SRIO window covered slave's UCode and ENV
- stored in master's NorFlash.
- g) Master will set outbound SRIO windows in order to configure slave's
- registers for the core's releasing.
- h) Since all cores of slave in holdoff, slave should be powered on before all
- the above master's steps, and wait to be released by master. In the
- startup phase of the slave from SRIO, it will finish some necessary
- configurations.
- i) Slave will set a specific TLB entry for the boot process.
- j) Slave will set a LAW entry with the TargetID SRIO port 1 for the boot.
- k) Slave will set a specific TLB entry in order to fetch UCode and ENV
- from master.
- l) Slave will set a LAW entry with the TargetID SRIO port 1 for UCode and ENV.
-
-How to use this feature:
- To use this feature, you need to focus those points.
-
- 1. Slave's RCW with SRIO boot configurations, and all cores in holdoff
- configurations.
- Please refer to the examples given above.
-
- 2. U-Boot image's compilation.
- For master, U-Boot image should be generated normally.
-
- For example, master U-Boot image used on P4080DS should be compiled with
-
- make P4080DS_config.
-
- For slave, U-Boot image should be generated specifically by
-
- make xxxx_SRIOBOOT_SLAVE_config.
-
- For example, slave U-Boot image used on P4080DS should be compiled with
-
- make P4080DS_SRIOBOOT_SLAVE_config.
-
- 3. Necessary modifications based on a specific environment.
- For a specific environment, the addresses of the slave's U-Boot image,
- UCode, ENV stored in master's NorFlash, and any other configurations
- can be modified in the file:
- include/configs/corenet_ds.h.
-
- 4. Set and save the environment variable "bootmaster" with "SRIO1" or "SRIO2"
- for master, and then restart it in order to perform the role as a master
- for boot from SRIO.
