SRIO Boot on Corenet Platforms
------------------------------
For some PowerPC processors with SRIO interface, boot location can be configured
to SRIO by RCW. The processor booting from SRIO can do without flash for u-boot
image, ucode and ENV. All the images can be fetched from another processor's
memory space by SRIO link connected between them.
This document describes the processes based on an example implemented on P4080DS
platforms and a RCW example with boot from SRIO configuration.
Environment of the SRIO boot:
a) Master and slave can be SOCs in one board or SOCs in separate boards.
b) They are connected with SRIO links, whether 1x or 4x, and directly or
through switch system.
c) Only Master has NorFlash for booting, and all the Master's and Slave's
U-Boot images, UCodes will be stored in this flash.
d) Slave has its own EEPROM for RCW and PBI.
e) Slave's RCW should configure the SerDes for SRIO boot port, set the boot
location to SRIO, and holdoff all the cores.

The example based on P4080DS platform:
Two P4080DS platforms can be used to implement the boot from SRIO. Their SRIO
ports 1 will be connected directly and will be used for the boot from SRIO.

2. Sequence in Step by Step.
a) Update RCW for slave with boot from SRIO port 1 configuration.
b) Program slave's U-Boot image, UCode, and ENV parameters into master's
NorFlash.
c) Set environment variable "bootmaster" to "SRIO1" and save environment
for master.
setenv bootmaster SRIO1
saveenv
d) Restart up master and it will boot up normally from its NorFlash.
Then, it will finish necessary configurations for slave's boot from
SRIO port 1.
e) Master will set inbound SRIO windows covered slave's U-Boot image stored
in master's NorFlash.
f) Master will set an inbound SRIO window covered slave's UCode and ENV
stored in master's NorFlash.
g) Master will set outbound SRIO windows in order to configure slave's
registers for the core's releasing.
h) Since all cores of slave in holdoff, slave should be powered on before all
the above master's steps, and wait to be released by master. In the
startup phase of the slave from SRIO, it will finish some necessary
configurations.
i) Slave will set a specific TLB entry for the boot process.
j) Slave will set a LAW entry with the TargetID SRIO port 1 for the boot.
k) Slave will set a specific TLB entry in order to fetch UCode and ENV
from master.
l) Slave will set a LAW entry with the TargetID SRIO port 1 for UCode and ENV.
How to use this feature:
To use this feature, you need to focus those points.
1. Slave's RCW with SRIO boot configurations, and all cores in holdoff
configurations.
Please refer to the examples given above.
2. U-Boot image's compilation.
For master, U-Boot image should be generated normally.
For example, master U-Boot image used on P4080DS should be compiled with
make P4080DS_config.
For slave, U-Boot image should be generated specifically by
make xxxx_SRIOBOOT_SLAVE_config.
For example, slave U-Boot image used on P4080DS should be compiled with
make P4080DS_SRIOBOOT_SLAVE_config.
3. Necessary modifications based on a specific environment.
For a specific environment, the addresses of the slave's U-Boot image,
UCode, ENV stored in master's NorFlash, and any other configurations
can be modified in the file:
include/configs/corenet_ds.h.
4. Set and save the environment variable "bootmaster" with "SRIO1" or "SRIO2"
for master, and then restart it in order to perform the role as a master
for boot from SRIO.
