AM62AX Host Descriptions

Introduction

This chapter provides information of Host IDs that are permitted in the AM62AX SoC. These host IDs represent processing entities (or PEs) which is mandatory identification of a Host in a processor.

Typically a host is a ‘compute entity’ which may be an actual processor or even a virtual machine. We just use host or processing entity to indicate the same thing.

Enumeration of Host IDs

Host ID Host Name Security Status Description
0 TIFS Secure TI Foundational Security
10 A53_0 Secure Cortex A53 context 0 on Main island
11 A53_1 Secure Cortex A53 context 1 on Main island
12 A53_2 Non Secure Cortex A53 context 2 on Main island
13 A53_3 Non Secure Cortex A53 context 3 on Main island
14 A53_4 Non Secure Cortex A53 context 4 on Main island
20 C7X_0_0 Non Secure C7x_0 Context 0 on Main island
30 MCU_0_R5_0 Non Secure MCU R5
35 MAIN_0_R5_0 Secure Cortex R5_0 context 0 on Main island(BOOT)
36 MAIN_0_R5_1 Non Secure Cortex R5_0 context 1 on Main island
37 MAIN_0_R5_2 Secure Cortex R5_0 context 2 on Main island
38 MAIN_0_R5_3 Non Secure Cortex R5_0 context 3 on Main island
250 DM2TIFS Secure DM to TIFS communication
251 TIFS2DM Non Secure TIFS to DM communication
254 DM Non Secure Device Management

Note

  • Description provides an intended purpose of the host ID, though on some systems, this might be used differently, backing memory and link allocations are made with the specified purpose in mind
  • Security Status provides an intended purpose for the Host context
