Processor Boot Management TISCI Description¶
Introduction¶
This chapter provides information about the messaging APIs for the processor boot control. APIs are divided into the following two sets:
- Book keeping APIs - Meant to control access to allow a reasonable usage scenario of processors.
- Processor Control APIs - Meant to be the actual Processor Core controls.
Book Keeping APIs:
| TISCI Message ID | Message Name | Available in GP | Avialable in HS-FS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0xC000 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_REQUEST. | Yes | Yes |
| 0xC001 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_RELEASE. | Yes | Yes |
| 0xC005 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_HANDOVER. | Yes | Yes |
Processor Control APIs:
| TISCI Message ID | Message Name | Available in GP | Avialable in HS-FS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0xC100 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_SET_CONFIG | Yes | Yes |
| 0xC101 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_SET_CONTROL | Yes | Yes |
| 0xC120 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_AUTH_BOOT | No | Yes* |
| 0xC400 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_GET_STATUS | Yes | Yes |
| 0xC401 | TISCI_MSG_PROC_WAIT_STATUS | Yes | Yes |
The APIs use the overall concepts explained in the following sections.
ID definition¶
To help identify the various entities invovled, the following IDs are involved:
- HOST_ID is the concept of identifying processing entities (SoC specific)
- PROC_ID is the specific hardware processor instance involved (SoC specific)
Access control definition¶
Access control is enforced via the Book keeping APIs. The basic definition of access is as follows:
- We identify a requester (just like rest of TISCI) using Host ID (or plain Host).
- By default, we permit all processors to be controlled by any other Host (no policing).
- Board configuration provides: per PROC_ID, a limited list of “permitted host IDs”
which are permitted to control a processor. BUT with the following conditions:
- Only one host can control a processor at a time
- A host(with control) can hand over control of a processor to another host in the permitted list.
- “recovery master” host id is identified in board cfg and this host can override the ownership already established.
In addition, ONLY a secure host can request for an authenticated image access.
API access control will be as follows:
- request_processor: Only one host can get control from access list. However, “recovery master” host can override previously allocated master.
- handover_processor: Only the host with current control of the processor.
- release_processor: Only the host with current control of the processor.
- set_processor_config: Only the host with current control of the processor.
- get_processor_config: Any host within the access control list.
- set_processor_control: Only the host with current control of the processor.
- get_processor_control: Any host within the access control list.
- authenticate_and_start_image: Only a secure host with current control of the processor.
- set_processor_suspend_ready: Only the host with current control of processor can report that the processor is ready to suspend
- get_processor_wake_reason: Any host within the access control list.
Sequencing of APIs¶
The boot APIs must be used in correct sequence with the device and clock APIs to be operational. This sequence would be specific to the processor involved.
Rationale: by encoding the sequence of processor boot along with boot configuration API will complicate management of processors, since the operational requirements are extremely varied. Some processors need the boot configuration done, clocked, and specific MMU/RAT configuration be done prior to be released from reset. Many of the operations may require interaction with specific processor internals that is hard to make generic and usecase independent.
Example usage of APIs¶
Example 1: Boot a processor from one core and let it self manage:
- Boot host: (optionally) PM apis to control clock and hold processor in reset. This might be necessary for some processors to get the boot vector registers to be accessible in the first place.
- Boot host: request_processor
- Boot host: set_processor_config -> set bootvector
- Alternatively call authenticate and start image API.
- Boot host: handover_processor -> give control to ‘processor host’
- Boot host: PM apis to control clock and release processor from reset. ‘processor host’ gets active. It is probably better to release the processor from reset after handover, in case the ‘processor host’ tries to do additional operations. however this depends on usecase - use a sane judgement as to how to sequence the APIs.
- Processor host: (continues to boot and do other TISCI APIs permitted)
- Processor host: set_processor_suspend_ready -> ready to suspend
- Processor WFI Wakeup:
- Processor host: get_processor_wake_reason -> get reason for wakeup. …. until all operations are complete…
- Processor host: set_processor_suspend_ready -> state it is going down
- Processor host: release_processor -> Mark no longer required
- Processor WFI (NOTE: a processor cannot switch off it’s own clocks -> so in case of a self managed processor shutdown sequence, it will need System firmware to help do the last stages of operation - typically this will involve either shutdown OR reset sequence).
Example 2: Boot a processor from one core and recover from another core:
- Boot host: request_processor
- Boot host: set_processor_config -> set bootvector
- Boot host: handover_processor -> give control to ‘processor host’
- Boot host: PM apis to control clock and release processor boot host dies
- Recovery Host: request_processor
- Recovery Host: set_processor_config -> force power off
- Recovery Host: PM apis to control clock and force power off of processor
- Recovery Host: Additional cleanup API calls …. Restoration sequence….

This API that has impact on firmware performance and is typically only required for the hosts to sequence events in the correct order when executing from the processor itself. In short, avoid if possible.
The worst case delay could be upto: (register operations and code overheads) + num_wait_iterations(255) * delay_per_iteration_us(255) + delay_before_iteration_loop_start_us (255) = 65.280 milli seconds + (register operations and code overheads)

| num_match_iterations | u8 | 1-255, How many iterations should we have continued status to account for status bits glitching. This is to make sure that match occurs for consecutive checks. This implies that the worst case should consider that the stable time should at the worst be num_wait_iterations num_match_iterations to prevent timeout. |
| delay_per_iteration_us | u8 | 0-255, Specifies how long to wait (in micro seconds) between each status checks. This is the minimum duration, and overhead of register reads and checks are on top of this and can vary based on varied conditions. |
| delay_before_iteration_loop_start_us | u8 | 0-255, Specifies how long to wait (in micro seconds) before the very first check in the first iteration of status check loop. This is the minimum duration, and overhead of register reads and checks are |

A trivial example for a hypothetical processor status wait could have the parameters as follows:
# No optional bits to be set
status_flags_1_set_all_wait = 0
# Either WFI OR WFE to be set as 1
status_flags_1_set_any_wait = WFI | WFE
# CLK_STOP must be to be cleared
status_flags_1_clr_all_wait = CLK_STOP
# No optional status bits to be cleared
status_flags_1_clr_any_wait = 0
# Check status every ~2 us
delay_per_iteration_us = 2
# Do not wait to start checks
delay_before_iteration_loop_start_us = 0
# Check for 10 times before timing out
num_wait_iterations = 10

(TRM Section to be referred to is: Chapter 5 (“Device Configuration”) -> Section 5.1 (“5.1 Control Module (CTRL_MMR)”) -> CTRLMMR_SEC_CLSTRx_CFG Register) |
| SINGLE_CORE | 15 | Single / Dual CPU Mode CLSTR_CFG Value 0 = Both CPUs are enabled, 1 = CPU1 Core is disabled (Not available on all devices. Please read TRM before trying to set this field.) (TRM Section to be referred to is: Chapter 5 (“Device Configuration”) -> Section 5.1 (“5.1 Control Module (CTRL_MMR)”) -> CTRLMMR_SEC_CLSTRx_CFG Register) |
- control_flags_1 Fields
| Flag Name | Bit Offset | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CORE_HALT | 0 | Halt Core |
| R5_LPSC | 1 | Command for R5F LPSC Control (1 - LPSC ON, 0 - LPSC OFF) Reads will always return 0. You are expected to read the PM status via the PM message TISCI_MSG_GET_DEVICE |
| R5_RESET | 2 | R5F Reset control command (1- Assert Reset, 0 - Deassert Reset) |
The usage of R5_LPSC and R5_RESET is only for below mentioned devices, - MCU R5F on the J721E, J7200, J721S2 and J784S2 family of devices where the RM and PM functions run on the MCU R5F. - DM R5F on the AM62x, AM62Ax, AM62Px, J722S and AM275x family of devices where the RM and PM functions run on the DM R5F.
The MCU R5F and DM R5F (where the RM and PM functions run) cannot turn off/on by itself during a re-boot sequence which requires the following fundamental sequence of steps:
- Wait for the R5F to hit WFI. (MCU at this point is running WFI and cannot run steps 2 and 3)
- Power off the R5F by writing to PSC registers.
- Power on the R5F by writing to PSC registers.
In order to handle this the TIFS provides a special function for handling the LPSC control only for MCU R5F core 0 and core 1 which can enable performing the sequence of powering down and powering up the MCU R5Fs once the MCU R5F hits WFI.
Similar to the LPSC control for power off and power on, the TIFS also controls the reset control for R5F LPSC reset controls as the MCU R5F cannot handle its own resets.
For all other devices in the SoC the MCU R5F handles the LPSC configuration. For the devices like AM6 the TIFS, Power Management and Resource management run on the DMSC. Hence these controls are not applicable to these devices.

- control_flags_1 Fields
Not supported.
- status_flags_1 Fields
Not supported.
ARM M4F¶
Note
The M4 processor driver is dual purpose:
- Support for general purpose M4 CPUs found on many of the supported SoCs today.
- Support for the HSM M4 processor found in the SMS subsystem
Flags described below may only be relevant to one class of M4 processors and will be clarified as necessary
Warning
NOTE: M4F always starts from 0x0 from internal TCM RAM. There is no specific bootvector configuration possible. We need to request the device with reset enabled and load the TCM RAM prior to releasing the reset to allow the processor to execute.
- config_flags_1 Fields
| Flag Name | Bit Offset | Description |

|---|---|---|
| WFI | 1 | Set if the core is in WFI state |
