I - Software License for Firmware
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Each firmware file comes with its own software license. For information on
|
|
the particular license, please see the license text that is distributed with
|
|
the firmware.
|
|
|
|
II - Microcode Availability
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Firmware files are distributed through various channels. Some are available on
|
|
http://opensource.freescale.com. For other firmware files, please contact
|
|
your Freescale representative or your operating system vendor.
|
|
|
|
III - Description and Terminology
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
In this document, the term 'microcode' refers to the sequence of 32-bit
|
|
integers that compose the actual QE microcode.
|
|
|
|
The term 'firmware' refers to a binary blob that contains the microcode as
|
|
well as other data that
|
|
|
|
1) describes the microcode's purpose
|
|
2) describes how and where to upload the microcode
|
|
3) specifies the values of various registers
|
|
4) includes additional data for use by specific device drivers
|
|
|
|
Firmware files are binary files that contain only a firmware.
|
|
|
|
IV - Microcode Programming Details
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
The QE architecture allows for only one microcode present in I-RAM for each
|
|
RISC processor. To replace any current microcode, a full QE reset (which
|
|
disables the microcode) must be performed first.
|
|
|
|
QE microcode is uploaded using the following procedure:
|
|
|
|
1) The microcode is placed into I-RAM at a specific location, using the
|
|
IRAM.IADD and IRAM.IDATA registers.
|
|
|
|
2) The CERCR.CIR bit is set to 0 or 1, depending on whether the firmware
|
|
needs split I-RAM. Split I-RAM is only meaningful for SOCs that have
|
|
QEs with multiple RISC processors, such as the 8360. Splitting the I-RAM
|
|
allows each processor to run a different microcode, effectively creating an
|
|
asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) system.
|
|
|
|
3) The TIBCR trap registers are loaded with the addresses of the trap handlers
|
|
in the microcode.
|
|
|
|
4) The RSP.ECCR register is programmed with the value provided.
|
|
|
|
5) If necessary, device drivers that need the virtual traps and extended mode
|
|
data will use them.
|
|
|
|
Virtual Microcode Traps
|
|
|
|
These virtual traps are conditional branches in the microcode. These are
|
|
"soft" provisional introduced in the ROMcode in order to enable higher
|
|
flexibility and save h/w traps If new features are activated or an issue is
|
|
being fixed in the RAM package utilizing they should be activated. This data
|
|
structure signals the microcode which of these virtual traps is active.
|
|
|
|
This structure contains 6 words that the application should copy to some
|
|
specific been defined. This table describes the structure.

V - Firmware Structure Layout
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
QE microcode from Freescale is typically provided as a header file. This
|
|
header file contains macros that define the microcode binary itself as well as
|
|
some other data used in uploading that microcode. The format of these files
|
|
do not lend themselves to simple inclusion into other code. Hence,
|
|
the need for a more portable format. This section defines that format.
|
|
|
|
Instead of distributing a header file, the microcode and related data are
|
|
embedded into a binary blob. This blob is passed to the qe_upload_firmware()
|
|
function, which parses the blob and performs everything necessary to upload
|
|
the microcode.
|
|
|
|
All integers are big-endian. See the comments for function
|
|
qe_upload_firmware() for up-to-date implementation information.
|
|
|
|
This structure supports versioning, where the version of the structure is
|
|
embedded into the structure itself. To ensure forward and backwards
|
|
compatibility, all versions of the structure must use the same 'qe_header'
|
|
structure at the beginning.
|
|
|
|
'header' (type: struct qe_header):
|
|
The 'length' field is the size, in bytes, of the entire structure,
|
|
including all the microcode embedded in it, as well as the CRC (if
|
|
present).
|
|
|
|
The 'magic' field is an array of three bytes that contains the letters
|
|
'Q', 'E', and 'F'. This is an identifier that indicates that this
|
|
structure is a QE Firmware structure.
|
|
|
|
The 'version' field is a single byte that indicates the version of this
|
|
structure. If the layout of the structure should ever need to be
|
|
changed to add support for additional types of microcode, then the
|
|
version number should also be changed.
|
|
|
|
The 'id' field is a null-terminated string(suitable for printing) that
|
|
identifies the firmware.
|
|
|
|
The 'count' field indicates the number of 'microcode' structures. There
|
|
must be one and only one 'microcode' structure for each RISC processor.
|
|
Therefore, this field also represents the number of RISC processors for this
|
|
SOC.
|
|
|
|
The 'soc' structure contains the SOC numbers and revisions used to match
|
|
the microcode to the SOC itself. Normally, the microcode loader should
|
|
check the data in this structure with the SOC number and revisions, and
|
|
only upload the microcode if there's a match. However, this check is not
|
|
made on all platforms.
|
|
|
|
Although it is not recommended, you can specify '0' in the soc.model
|
|
field to skip matching SOCs altogether.
|
|
|
|
The 'model' field is a 16-bit number that matches the actual SOC. The
|
|
'major' and 'minor' fields are the major and minor revision numbers,
|
|
respectively, of the SOC.
|
|
|
|
For example, to match the 8323, revision 1.0:
|
|
soc.model = 8323
|
|
soc.major = 1
|
|
soc.minor = 0
|
|
|
|
'padding' is necessary for structure alignment. This field ensures that the
|
|
'extended_modes' field is aligned on a 64-bit boundary.
|
|
|
|
'extended_modes' is a bitfield that defines special functionality which has an
|
|
impact on the device drivers. Each bit has its own impact and has special
|
|
instructions for the driver associated with it. This field is stored in
|
|
the QE library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info().
|
|
|
|
'vtraps' is an array of 8 words that contain virtual trap values for each
|
|
virtual traps. As with 'extended_modes', this field is stored in the QE
|
|
library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info().
|
|
|
|
'microcode' (type: struct qe_microcode):
|
|
For each RISC processor there is one 'microcode' structure. The first
|
|
'microcode' structure is for the first RISC, and so on.
|
|
|
|
The 'id' field is a null-terminated string suitable for printing that
|
|
identifies this particular microcode.
|
|
|
|
'traps' is an array of 16 words that contain hardware trap values
|
|
for each of the 16 traps. If trap[i] is 0, then this particular
|
|
trap is to be ignored (i.e. not written to TIBCR[i]). The entire value
|
|
is written as-is to the TIBCR[i] register, so be sure to set the EN
|
|
and T_IBP bits if necessary.
|
|
|
|
'eccr' is the value to program into the ECCR register.
|
|
|
|
'iram_offset' is the offset into IRAM to start writing the
|
|
microcode.
|
|
|
|
'count' is the number of 32-bit words in the microcode.
|
|
|
|
'code_offset' is the offset, in bytes, from the beginning of this
|
|
structure where the microcode itself can be found. The first
|
|
microcode binary should be located immediately after the 'microcode'
|
|
array.
|
|
|
|
'major', 'minor', and 'revision' are the major, minor, and revision
|
|
version numbers, respectively, of the microcode. If all values are 0,
|
|
then these fields are ignored.
|
|
|
|
'reserved' is necessary for structure alignment. Since 'microcode'
|
|
is an array, the 64-bit 'extended_modes' field needs to be aligned
|
|
on a 64-bit boundary, and this can only happen if the size of
|
|
'microcode' is a multiple of 8 bytes. To ensure that, we add
|
|
'reserved'.
|
|
|
|
After the last microcode is a 32-bit CRC. It can be calculated using
|
|
this algorithm:
|
|
|
|
u32 crc32(const u8 *p, unsigned int len)
|
|
{
|
|
unsigned int i;
|
|
u32 crc = 0;
|
|
|
|
while (len--) {
|
|
crc ^= *p++;
|
|
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
|
|
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ ((crc & 1) ? 0xedb88320 : 0);
|
|
}
|
|
return crc;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
