Hi,
I am trying to boot secondary cores of T2080RDB from RAM. I use U-Boot 2016.012 for loading my custom software. I have used the following sequence to perform the secondary core reset and release so that they start executing from my custom secondary_reset code .
1. CCSR relocation - followed the sequence as mentioned in T2080RM .
2. LAW initialization.
3. Disable all caches
4. Disable TimeBase
5. Clear Boot Release Register (BRR)
6. Reset secondary cores via MPIC-PIR followed by sync. Read back MPIC-PIR to ensure it is written . Also issued 15 EOIs to MPIC after performing the write to PIR
7. Setup Boot space translation registers BSTRLH – 0x0 BSTRLL – address of secondary_reset code BSTAR – configured to enable Boot space translation, target ID = 0x10 and window size 4 KB sync Read Back BSTAR to ensure it is written sync
8. Write 1 to corresponding bits in BRR register followed by sync
9. Enable TimeBase .
The secondary cores does not go to Reset state on giving Reset command through MPIC-PIR register. and hence I am unable to perform the release of secondary cores from my code.
Please suggest what might have gone wrong.
The T2080 manual in section Processor initialization register (MPIC_PIR) says:
For proper system operation, a core should be reset in this way only if the core is already in nap or sleep state. Because a core in either state cannot perform the necessary write to cause a hard reset, a core cannot put itself into hard reset.
