J721S2 and AM68 Platforms
=========================

Introduction:
-------------

The J721S2 family of SoCs are part of K3 Multicore SoC architecture platform
targeting automotive applications. They are designed as a low power, high
performance and highly integrated device architecture, adding significant
enhancement on processing power, graphics capability, video and imaging
processing, virtualization and coherent memory support.

The AM68 Starter Kit/Evaluation Module (EVM) is based on the J721S2 family
of SoCs. They are designed for machine vision, traffic monitoring, retail
automation, and factory automation.

The device is partitioned into three functional domains, each containing
specific processing cores and peripherals:

1. Wake-up (WKUP) domain:
    * ARM Cortex-M4F processor, runs TI Foundational Security (TIFS)

2. Microcontroller (MCU) domain:
    * Dual core ARM Cortex-R5F processor, runs device management
      and SoC early boot

3. MAIN domain:
    * Dual core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72, runs HLOS

More info can be found in TRM: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruj28

Boot Flow:
----------

Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow:

.. image:: img/boot_diagram_k3_current.svg

- On this platform, "TI Foundational Security" (TIFS) functions as the
  security enclave master while "Device Manager" (DM), also known as the
  "TISCI server" in TI terminology, offers all the essential services.

- As illustrated in the diagram above, R5 SPL manages power and clock
  services independently before handing over control to "DM". The A72 or
  the C7x (Aux core) software components request TIFS/DM to handle
  security or device management services.

Target Images
-------------

In order to boot we need tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin and u-boot.img. Each SoC
variant (GP, HS-FS, HS-SE) requires a different source for these files.

Switch Setting for Boot Mode
----------------------------

Boot Mode pins provide means to select the boot mode and options before the
device is powered up. After every POR, they are the main source to populate
the Boot Parameter Tables.
