Runtime Debug TISCI Description

This chapter provides information on available TISCI messages for configuring runtime debug.

TISCI Message ID Message Name
0x900C TISCI_MSG_OPEN_DEBUG_FWLS
0x9021 TISCI_MSG_GET_SOC_UID

Introduction

Note

This document is applicable to HS devices only.

Note

Opening the JTAG port through the Secure AP command interface is the primary method of unlocking JTAG on K3 devices. This method is documented in Secure AP Command Interface. For debug flexbility, System Firmware also supports unlocking JTAG on target via a TISCI message documented in this chapter.

API Description

TISCI_MSG_GET_SOC_UID - Get SOC UID

Usage:

Message Type Normal
Secure Queue Only? No

Unlocking the JTAG port requires a X509 certificate signed with the active root of trust asymmetric key. The X509 certificate must contain the Unique identifier for the SOC (SOC UID). This enables debug certificates to be tied to specific devices. SOC UID is calculated on the device by the BOOT ROM and must be extracted from the device. This TISCI message is used to obtain the SOC UID to populate in the debug unlock certificate. For more information, see System Firmware Debug Extension.

TISCI Message ID

TISCI_MSG_GET_SOC_UID          (0x9021U)

Message to get SOC UID

struct tisci_msg_get_soc_uid_req

Request to provide the SOC UID via TISCI_MSG_GET_SOC_UID

Parameter Type Description
hdr struct tisci_header Common TI-SCI header

UID_LEN_WORDS          (8U)

struct tisci_msg_get_soc_uid_resp

Response to the TISCI_MSG_GET_SOC_UID message

Parameter Type Description
hdr struct tisci_header Common TI-SCI header
soc_uid u32 8 words with the SOC UID

TISCI_MSG_OPEN_DEBUG_FWLS - Open Debug Firewalls

Usage:

Message Type Normal
Secure Queue Only? Yes

Unlocking the JTAG port requires a X509 certificate signed with the active root of trust asymmetric key. This API is used to provide the signed certificate to System Firmware for proceessing and JTAG unlock.

The X509 certificate format is described in Security X509 Certificate Documentation. The fields of the certificate should be filled as specified in the System Firmware Debug Extension. The X509 debug extension is mandatory. The other X509 extensions are not processed by System Firmware while performing JTAG unlock.

TISCI Message ID

TISCI_MSG_OPEN_DEBUG_FWLS          (0x900CU)

Message to open debug firewalls using a certificate

struct tisci_msg_open_debug_fwls_req

Request to provide the SOC UID via TISCI_MSG_OPEN_DEBUG_FWLS

Parameter Type Description
hdr struct tisci_header Common TI-SCI header
debug_cert_addr u64 Physical address of the debug unlock certificate

struct tisci_msg_open_debug_fwls_resp

Response to the TISCI_MSG_OPEN_DEBUG_FWLS message

Parameter Type Description
hdr struct tisci_header Common TI-SCI header
