NXP SoCs - Overview
=====================
.. section-numbering::
    :suffix: .

The QorIQ family of ARM based SoCs that are supported on TF-A are:

1. LX2160A

- SoC Overview:

The LX2160A multicore processor, the highest-performance member of the
Layerscape family, combines FinFET process technology's low power and
sixteen Arm® Cortex®-A72 cores with datapath acceleration optimized for
L2/3 packet processing, together with security offload, robust traffic
management and quality of service.

Details about LX2160A can be found at `lx2160a`_.

- LX2160ARDB Board:

The LX2160A reference design board provides a comprehensive platform
that enables design and evaluation of the LX2160A or LX2162A processors. It
comes preloaded with a board support package (BSP) based on a standard Linux
kernel.

Board details can be fetched from the link: `lx2160ardb`_.

2. LS1028A

- SoC Overview:

The Layerscape LS1028A applications processor for industrial and
automotive includes a time-sensitive networking (TSN) -enabled Ethernet
switch and Ethernet controllers to support converged IT and OT networks.
Two powerful 64-bit Arm®v8 cores support real-time processing for
industrial control and virtual machines for edge computing in the IoT.
The integrated GPU and LCD controller enable Human-Machine Interface
(HMI) systems with next-generation interfaces.

Details about LS1028A can be found at `ls1028a`_.

- LS1028ARDB Board:

The LS1028A reference design board (RDB) is a computing, evaluation,
and development platform that supports industrial IoT applications, human
machine interface solutions, and industrial networking.

Details about LS1028A RDB board can be found at `ls1028ardb`_.

3. LS1043A

- SoC Overview:

The Layerscape LS1043A processor is NXP's first quad-core, 64-bit Arm®-based
processor for embedded networking. The LS1023A (two core version) and the
LS1043A (four core version) deliver greater than 10 Gbps of performance
in a flexible I/O package supporting fanless designs. This SoC is a
purpose-built solution for small-form-factor networking and industrial
applications with BOM optimizations for economic low layer PCB, lower cost
power supply and single clock design. The new 0.9V versions of the LS1043A
and LS1023A deliver addition power savings for applications such as Wireless
LAN and to Power over Ethernet systems.

Details about LS1043A can be found at `ls1043a`_.

- LS1043ARDB Board:

The LS1043A reference design board (RDB) is a computing, evaluation, and
development platform that supports the Layerscape LS1043A architecture
processor. The LS1043A-RDB can help shorten your time to market by providing

DDR Memory Layout
--------------------------

NXP Platforms divide DRAM into banks:

- DRAM0 Bank:  Maximum size of this bank is fixed to 2GB, DRAM0 size is defined in platform_def.h if it is less than 2GB.

- DRAM1 ~ DRAMn Bank:  Greater than 2GB belongs to DRAM1 and following banks, and size of DRAMn Bank varies for one platform to others.

The following diagram is default DRAM0 memory layout in which secure memory is at top of DRAM0.

Build Procedure
---------------

-  Fetch all the above repositories into local host.

-  Prepare AARCH64 toolchain and set the environment variable "CROSS_COMPILE".

   .. code:: shell

       export CROSS_COMPILE=.../bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-

-  Build RCW. Refer README from the respective cloned folder for more details.

-  Build u-boot and OPTee firstly, and get binary images: u-boot.bin and tee.bin.
   For u-boot you can use the <platform>_tfa_defconfig for build.

-  Copy/clone the repo "ddr-phy-binary" to the tfa directory for platform needing ddr-fip.

-  Below are the steps to build TF-A images for the supported platforms.

Deploy ATF Images
=================

Note: The size in the standard uboot commands for copy to nor, qspi, nand or sd
should be modified based on the binary size of the image to be copied.

-  Deploy ATF images on flexspi-Nor flash Alt Bank from U-Boot prompt.
   --  Commands to flash images for bl2_xxx.pbl and fip.bin.

   .. code:: shell

        tftp 82000000  $path/bl2_flexspi_nor.pbl;
        i2c mw 66 50 20;sf probe 0:0; sf erase 0 +$filesize; sf write 0x82000000 0x0 $filesize;

        tftp 82000000  $path/fip.bin;
        i2c mw 66 50 20;sf probe 0:0; sf erase 0x100000 +$filesize; sf write 0x82000000 0x100000 $filesize;

   --  Next step is valid for platform where FIP-DDR is needed.

   .. code:: shell

        tftp 82000000  $path/ddr_fip.bin;
        i2c mw 66 50 20;sf probe 0:0; sf erase 0x800000 +$filesize; sf write 0x82000000 0x800000 $filesize;

   --  Then reset to alternate bank to boot up ATF.

   Command for lx2160A and ls1028a platforms:

   .. code:: shell

        qixisreset altbank;

-  Deploy ATF images on SD/eMMC from U-Boot prompt.
   -- file_size_in_block_sizeof_512 = (Size_of_bytes_tftp / 512)

   .. code:: shell

        mmc dev <idx>; (idx = 1 for eMMC; idx = 0 for SD)

        tftp 82000000  $path/bl2_<sd>_or_<emmc>.pbl;
        mmc write 82000000 8 <file_size_in_block_sizeof_512>;

        tftp 82000000  $path/fip.bin;
        mmc write 82000000 0x800 <file_size_in_block_sizeof_512>;

    --  Next step is valid for platform that needs FIP-DDR.

   .. code:: shell

        tftp 82000000  $path/ddr_fip.bin;
        mmc write 82000000 0x4000 <file_size_in_block_sizeof_512>;

   --  Then reset to sd/emmc to boot up ATF from sd/emmc as boot-source.

   Command for lx2160A and ls1028a platforms:

   .. code:: shell

        qixisreset <sd or emmc>;

   Command for ls1043a platform:

   .. code:: shell

        cpld reset <sd or emmc>;

-  Deploy ATF images on IFC nor flash from U-Boot prompt.

   .. code:: shell

        tftp 82000000  $path/bl2_nor.pbl;
	protect off 64000000 +$filesize; erase 64000000 +$filesize; cp.b 82000000 64000000 $filesize;

        tftp 82000000  $path/fip.bin;
	protect off 64100000 +$filesize; erase 64100000 +$filesize; cp.b 82000000 64100000 $filesize;

   --  Then reset to alternate bank to boot up ATF.

   Command for ls1043a platform:

   .. code:: shell

        cpld reset altbank;

-  Deploy ATF images on IFC nand flash from U-Boot prompt.

   .. code:: shell

        tftp 82000000  $path/bl2_nand.pbl;
	nand erase 0x0 $filesize; nand write 82000000 0x0 $filesize;

        tftp 82000000  $path/fip.bin;
	nand erase 0x100000 $filesize;nand write 82000000 0x100000 $filesize;

   --  Then reset to nand flash to boot up ATF.

   Command for ls1043a platform:

   .. code:: shell

        cpld reset nand;
