[POWERPC] QE: Add ability to upload QE firmware
Define the layout of a binary blob that contains a QE firmware and instructions
on how to upload it. Add function qe_upload_firmware() to parse the blob
and perform the actual upload. Fully define 'struct rsp' in immap_qe.h to
include the actual RISC Special Registers. Added description of a new
QE firmware node to booting-without-of.txt.

26 | |||
27 | I - Software License for Firmware | ||
28 | ================================= | ||
29 | |||
30 | Each firmware file comes with its own software license. For information on | ||
31 | the particular license, please see the license text that is distributed with | ||
32 | the firmware. | ||
33 | |||
34 | II - Microcode Availability | ||
35 | =========================== | ||
36 | |||
37 | Firmware files are distributed through various channels. Some are available on | ||
38 | http://opensource.freescale.com. For other firmware files, please contact | ||
39 | your Freescale representative or your operating system vendor. | ||
40 | |||
41 | III - Description and Terminology | ||
42 | ================================ | ||
43 | |||
44 | In this document, the term 'microcode' refers to the sequence of 32-bit | ||
45 | integers that compose the actual QE microcode. | ||
46 | |||
47 | The term 'firmware' refers to a binary blob that contains the microcode as | ||
48 | well as other data that | ||
49 | |||
50 | 1) describes the microcode's purpose | ||
51 | 2) describes how and where to upload the microcode | ||
52 | 3) specifies the values of various registers | ||
53 | 4) includes additional data for use by specific device drivers | ||
54 | |||
55 | Firmware files are binary files that contain only a firmware. | ||
56 | |||
57 | IV - Microcode Programming Details | ||
58 | =================================== | ||
59 | |||
60 | The QE architecture allows for only one microcode present in I-RAM for each | ||
61 | RISC processor. To replace any current microcode, a full QE reset (which | ||
62 | disables the microcode) must be performed first. | ||
63 | |||
64 | QE microcode is uploaded using the following procedure: | ||
65 | |||
66 | 1) The microcode is placed into I-RAM at a specific location, using the | ||
67 | IRAM.IADD and IRAM.IDATA registers. | ||
68 | |||
69 | 2) The CERCR.CIR bit is set to 0 or 1, depending on whether the firmware | ||
70 | needs split I-RAM. Split I-RAM is only meaningful for SOCs that have | ||
71 | QEs with multiple RISC processors, such as the 8360. Splitting the I-RAM | ||
72 | allows each processor to run a different microcode, effectively creating an | ||
73 | asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) system. | ||
74 | |||
75 | 3) The TIBCR trap registers are loaded with the addresses of the trap handlers | ||
76 | in the microcode. | ||
77 | |||
78 | 4) The RSP.ECCR register is programmed with the value provided. | ||
79 | |||
80 | 5) If necessary, device drivers that need the virtual traps and extended mode | ||
81 | data will use them. | ||
82 | |||
83 | Virtual Microcode Traps | ||
84 | |||
85 | These virtual traps are conditional branches in the microcode. These are | ||
86 | "soft" provisional introduced in the ROMcode in order to enable higher | ||
87 | flexibility and save h/w traps If new features are activated or an issue is | ||
88 | being fixed in the RAM package utilizing they should be activated. This data | ||
89 | structure signals the microcode which of these virtual traps is active. | ||
90 | |||
91 | This structure contains 6 words that the application should copy to some | ||
92 | specific been defined. This table describes the structure. | ||

166 | V - Firmware Structure Layout | ||
167 | ============================== | ||
168 | |||
169 | QE microcode from Freescale is typically provided as a header file. This | ||
170 | header file contains macros that define the microcode binary itself as well as | ||
171 | some other data used in uploading that microcode. The format of these files | ||
172 | do not lend themselves to simple inclusion into other code. Hence, | ||
173 | the need for a more portable format. This section defines that format. | ||
174 | |||
175 | Instead of distributing a header file, the microcode and related data are | ||
176 | embedded into a binary blob. This blob is passed to the qe_upload_firmware() | ||
177 | function, which parses the blob and performs everything necessary to upload | ||
178 | the microcode. | ||
179 | |||
180 | All integers are big-endian. See the comments for function | ||
181 | qe_upload_firmware() for up-to-date implementation information. | ||
182 | |||
183 | This structure supports versioning, where the version of the structure is | ||
184 | embedded into the structure itself. To ensure forward and backwards | ||
185 | compatibility, all versions of the structure must use the same 'qe_header' | ||
186 | structure at the beginning. | ||
187 | |||
188 | 'header' (type: struct qe_header): | ||
189 | The 'length' field is the size, in bytes, of the entire structure, | ||
190 | including all the microcode embedded in it, as well as the CRC (if | ||
191 | present). | ||
192 | |||
193 | The 'magic' field is an array of three bytes that contains the letters | ||
194 | 'Q', 'E', and 'F'. This is an identifier that indicates that this | ||
195 | structure is a QE Firmware structure. | ||
196 | |||
197 | The 'version' field is a single byte that indicates the version of this | ||
198 | structure. If the layout of the structure should ever need to be | ||
199 | changed to add support for additional types of microcode, then the | ||
200 | version number should also be changed. | ||
201 | |||
202 | The 'id' field is a null-terminated string(suitable for printing) that | ||
203 | identifies the firmware. | ||
204 | |||
205 | The 'count' field indicates the number of 'microcode' structures. There | ||
206 | must be one and only one 'microcode' structure for each RISC processor. | ||
207 | Therefore, this field also represents the number of RISC processors for this | ||
208 | SOC. | ||
209 | |||
210 | The 'soc' structure contains the SOC numbers and revisions used to match | ||
211 | the microcode to the SOC itself. Normally, the microcode loader should | ||
212 | check the data in this structure with the SOC number and revisions, and | ||
213 | only upload the microcode if there's a match. However, this check is not | ||
214 | made on all platforms. | ||
215 | |||
216 | Although it is not recommended, you can specify '0' in the soc.model | ||
217 | field to skip matching SOCs altogether. | ||
218 | |||
219 | The 'model' field is a 16-bit number that matches the actual SOC. The | ||
220 | 'major' and 'minor' fields are the major and minor revision numbrs, | ||
221 | respectively, of the SOC. | ||
222 | |||
223 | For example, to match the 8323, revision 1.0: | ||
224 | soc.model = 8323 | ||
225 | soc.major = 1 | ||
226 | soc.minor = 0 | ||
227 | |||
228 | 'padding' is neccessary for structure alignment. This field ensures that the | ||
229 | 'extended_modes' field is aligned on a 64-bit boundary. | ||
230 | |||
231 | 'extended_modes' is a bitfield that defines special functionality which has an | ||
232 | impact on the device drivers. Each bit has its own impact and has special | ||
233 | instructions for the driver associated with it. This field is stored in | ||
234 | the QE library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info(). | ||
235 | |||
236 | 'vtraps' is an array of 8 words that contain virtual trap values for each | ||
237 | virtual traps. As with 'extended_modes', this field is stored in the QE | ||
238 | library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info(). | ||
239 | |||
240 | 'microcode' (type: struct qe_microcode): | ||
241 | For each RISC processor there is one 'microcode' structure. The first | ||
242 | 'microcode' structure is for the first RISC, and so on. | ||
243 | |||
244 | The 'id' field is a null-terminated string suitable for printing that | ||
245 | identifies this particular microcode. | ||
246 | |||
247 | 'traps' is an array of 16 words that contain hardware trap values | ||
248 | for each of the 16 traps. If trap[i] is 0, then this particular | ||
249 | trap is to be ignored (i.e. not written to TIBCR[i]). The entire value | ||
250 | is written as-is to the TIBCR[i] register, so be sure to set the EN | ||
251 | and T_IBP bits if necessary. | ||
252 | |||
253 | 'eccr' is the value to program into the ECCR register. | ||
254 | |||
255 | 'iram_offset' is the offset into IRAM to start writing the | ||
256 | microcode. | ||
257 | |||
258 | 'count' is the number of 32-bit words in the microcode. | ||
259 | |||
260 | 'code_offset' is the offset, in bytes, from the beginning of this | ||
261 | structure where the microcode itself can be found. The first | ||
262 | microcode binary should be located immediately after the 'microcode' | ||
263 | array. | ||
264 | |||
265 | 'major', 'minor', and 'revision' are the major, minor, and revision | ||
266 | version numbers, respectively, of the microcode. If all values are 0, | ||
267 | then these fields are ignored. | ||
268 | |||
269 | 'reserved' is necessary for structure alignment. Since 'microcode' | ||
270 | is an array, the 64-bit 'extended_modes' field needs to be aligned | ||
271 | on a 64-bit boundary, and this can only happen if the size of | ||
272 | 'microcode' is a multiple of 8 bytes. To ensure that, we add | ||
273 | 'reserved'. | ||
274 | |||
275 | After the last microcode is a 32-bit CRC. It can be calculated using | ||
276 | this algorithm: | ||
277 | |||
278 | u32 crc32(const u8 *p, unsigned int len) | ||
279 | { | ||
280 | unsigned int i; | ||
281 | u32 crc = 0; | ||
282 | |||
283 | while (len--) { | ||
284 | crc ^= *p++; | ||
285 | for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) | ||
286 | crc = (crc >> 1) ^ ((crc & 1) ? 0xedb88320 : 0); | ||
287 | } | ||
288 | return crc; | ||
289 | } | ||
290 | |||
291 | VI - Sample Code for Creating Firmware Files | ||

293 | |||
294 | A Python program that creates firmware binaries from the header files normally | ||
295 | distributed by Freescale can be found on http://opensource.freescale.com. | ||
