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. - - ---------- ----------- ----------- - | | | | | | - | | | | | | - | NorFlash|<----->| Master | SRIO | Slave |<---->[EEPROM] - | | | |<===========>| | - | | | | | | - ---------- ----------- ----------- - -The example based on P4080DS platform: - Two P4080DS platforms can be used to implement the boot from SRIO. Their SRIO - ports 1 will be connected directly and will be used for the boot from SRIO. - - 1. Slave's RCW example for boot from SRIO port 1 and all cores in holdoff. - 00000000: aa55 aa55 010e 0100 0c58 0000 0000 0000 - 00000010: 1818 1818 0000 8888 7440 4000 0000 2000 - 00000020: f440 0000 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 - 00000030: 0000 0000 0083 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 - 00000040: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0813 8040 063c 778f - - 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. |
