Introduction

The SCIClient has two major functions:

Interact with DMSC ROM and load the DMSC Firmware.
Pass on service requests from higher level software to the DMSC firmware and forward the response from DMSC firmware to the higher level software.

The Sciclient_loadFirmware API is used to cater to the first requirement and the Sciclient_service is used to cater to the second. The SCIClient library requires initialization of the a handle which is used by the subsequent API calls. This handle is initialized by the Sciclient_init function. Once the application/higher level software is being torn down or exiting the Sciclient_deinit can be used to de-initialize this handle.

The SCIClient can operate in the following combinations:

Non-OS, Polling based message completion.
Non-OS, Interrupt Based message completion.
RTOS, Polling based message completion.
RTOS, Interrupt based message completion.

The SCIClient depends on the OSAL layer to differentiate between the Non-OS and the RTOS implementation of Semaphores and Interrupts (HWIs). The build parameter of the OSAL library would determine if the application is bare metal or RTOS based. The polling versus interrupt based wait for message completion is a run time configuration passed during the Sciclient_init initialization.

All the APIs for interacting with the firmware are blocking with a specified timeout . A common API Sciclient_service is implemented for all types of calls to the firmware which takes 2 arguments :

The API serves a particular request, based on the value of messageType parameter in Sciclient_ReqPrm_t, whose response is given to the higher level API through Sciclient_RespPrm_t. The Sciclient_ReqPrm_t contains the required inputs from the higher level software corresponding to the message_type, timeout value and the core message as a byte stream. A pointer Sciclient_RespPrm_t has to be passed to the sciclient, which shall be modified by sciclient.

The Sciclient shall be responsible for abstracting all interaction with the secure proxy and the ring accelerator.

Functions
int32_t	Sciclient_loadFirmware (const uint32_t *pSciclient_firmware)

	Waits for boot notification from SYSFW. More...

int32_t	Sciclient_init (uint32_t coreId)
	This API is called once for registering interrupts and creating semaphore handles to be able to talk to the firmware. The application should assume that the firmware is pre-loaded while calling the Sciclient_init API. The firmware should have been loaded either via GEL or via the SBL prior to the application calling the Sciclient_init. If a void pointer is passed, default values will be used, else the values passed will be used. More...

int32_t	Sciclient_service (const Sciclient_ReqPrm_t pReqPrm, Sciclient_RespPrm_t pRespPrm)
	This API allows communicating with the System firmware which can be called to perform various functions in the system. Core sciclient function for transmitting payload and recieving the response. The caller is expected to allocate memory for the input request parameter (Refer Sciclient_ReqPrm_t). This involves setting the message type being communicated to the firmware, the response flags, populate the payload of the message based on the inputs in the files sciclient_fmwPmMessages.h,sciclient_fmwRmMessages.h, sciclient_fmwSecMessages.h and sciclient_fmwCommonMessages.h. Since the payload in considered a stream of bytes in this API, the caller should also populate the size of this stream in reqPayloadSize. The timeout is used to determine for what amount of iterations the API would wait for their operation to complete. More...

int32_t	Sciclient_deinit (void)

Loads the DMSC firmware. This is typically called by SBL. Load firmware does not require calling the Sciclient_init function.

Parameters

pSciclient_firmware [IN] Pointer to signed SYSFW binary

Returns: CSL_PASS on success, else failure

◆ Sciclient_waitForBootNotification()

int32_t Sciclient_waitForBootNotification ( void )

Waits for boot notification from SYSFW.

Returns: SystemP_SUCCESS on success, else failure

◆ Sciclient_init()

int32_t Sciclient_init ( uint32_t coreId )

This API is called once for registering interrupts and creating semaphore handles to be able to talk to the firmware. The application should assume that the firmware is pre-loaded while calling the Sciclient_init API. The firmware should have been loaded either via GEL or via the SBL prior to the application calling the Sciclient_init. If a void pointer is passed, default values will be used, else the values passed will be used.

Parameters

coreId [IN] ID of the core running the driver

Returns: CSL_PASS on success, else failure

◆ Sciclient_service()

int32_t Sciclient_service	(	const Sciclient_ReqPrm_t *	pReqPrm,
		Sciclient_RespPrm_t *	pRespPrm
	)

This API allows communicating with the System firmware which can be called to perform various functions in the system. Core sciclient function for transmitting payload and recieving the response. The caller is expected to allocate memory for the input request parameter (Refer Sciclient_ReqPrm_t). This involves setting the message type being communicated to the firmware, the response flags, populate the payload of the message based on the inputs in the files sciclient_fmwPmMessages.h,sciclient_fmwRmMessages.h, sciclient_fmwSecMessages.h and sciclient_fmwCommonMessages.h. Since the payload in considered a stream of bytes in this API, the caller should also populate the size of this stream in reqPayloadSize. The timeout is used to determine for what amount of iterations the API would wait for their operation to complete.

To make sure the response is captured correctly the caller should also allocate the space for Sciclient_RespPrm_t parameters. The caller should populate the pointer to the pRespPayload and the size respPayloadSize. The API would populate the response flags to indicate any firmware specific errors and also populate the memory pointed by pRespPayload till the size given in respPayloadSize.
