Document the Free Mobile Nodebox v3 CPU Module: how the port is laid out next to the LX2160ARDB / QDS boards, the module overview, the boot NOR layout, the kernel FIT that carries the management complex artefacts per carrier, the boot flow (mcinitcmd at initr_net, lazy DPL apply, provisioning over JTAG semihosting) and the environment variables an operator is expected to touch (carrier, mcmemsize, nbxv3_vdd_mv, the fsl_bootcmd_mcinitcmd_set sentinel).

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ + +Free Mobile Nodebox v3 CPU Module (nbxv3) +========================================= + +The Nodebox v3 CPU Module is an NXP LX2160A based board. +The module plugs onto several carrier boards (NBV30, NBV32, ...) which share +one kernel image but differ in their device tree and DPAA2 data path +configuration. + +The U-Boot port lives next to the LX2160ARDB/QDS boards under +``board/nxp/lx2160a/`` (``TARGET_NBXV3``, ``configs/nbxv3_tfa_defconfig``) +and reuses their SoC level code. Board specific behaviour is wired +through ``EVENT_SPY`` hooks in ``board/nxp/lx2160a/nbxv3/`` and the +dependencies each hook needs are forced on by hidden ``default y`` Kconfig +bools under ``if TARGET_NBXV3`` in ``board/nxp/lx2160a/Kconfig``. + +LX2160A SoC overview +-------------------- + +Please refer to arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/doc/README.soc for the +LX2160A SoC overview. + +Module overview +--------------- + +- Boot: TF-A (BL2 trains the DDR, BL31 hands over) then U-Boot as the + BL33 payload, from a single FlexSPI NOR. +- DDR: two DDR4 SODIMMs with JC42 SPD temperature sensors. +- Storage: on module eMMC on eSDHC2. +- Ethernet: DPMAC17 through RGMII1 to a Realtek RTL8211FD-CG + (management port, ``lanconsole0``); the LX2160A management complex + (MC) drives the DPAA2 data path. +- PCIe: PCIE3..PCIE6 root complexes routed to the carrier connector. +- USB: two xHCI host controllers. +- I2C: IIC1 on module management bus, IIC2..IIC4 and IIC6 to the carrier +- SPI: DSPI1 on module management SPI (ZL30733 DPLL), DSPI3 to the + carrier. +- Power: MPS MPQ8785 PMBus regulator on the +0V8_VDD core rail, per die + VID fuse voltage trim. +- Watchdog: SBSA generic watchdog, 120 s timeout default. + +Boot NOR layout +--------------- + +The layout is shared with TF-A and the flash assembler: + +============ ========================================== ========== +Offset Content Size cap +============ ========================================== ========== +0x000000 PBL (RCW + PBI + XIP BL2) 1 MiB +0x100000 FIP (BL31 + BL33 U-Boot) 4 MiB +0x500000 U-Boot environment 64 KiB +0x800000 DDR PHY firmware FIP 1 MiB +0x1000000 Kernel FIT 16 MiB +0x2000000 free 224 MiB +============ ========================================== ========== + +The environment is stored in the boot NOR (``ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH`` on +SPI bus 3, the ``spi3 = &fspi`` alias). SPI bus aliases at the prompt: +``spi0`` = DSPI1 (module management), +``spi2`` = DSPI3 (carrier), +``spi3`` = FlexSPI (boot NOR), +so the boot NOR is always ``sf probe 3:0``. + +Kernel FIT +---------- + +The kernel and the LX2160A management complex artefacts ship as a single +FIT image at NOR offset 0x1000000:: + + /images/kernel Linux Image (zstd compressed) + /images/fdt-<carrier> Linux DTB, one per carrier + /images/ramdisk initramfs cpio (optional) + /images/mc MC firmware blob (loaded at 0xa8000000) + /images/dpc-<carrier> Data Path Container (loaded at 0xa9000000) + /images/dpl-<carrier> Data Path Layout (loaded at 0xaa000000) + /configurations/conf-<carrier> + +``${carrier}`` selects the carrier set (``conf-<carrier>``, ``dpc-``, +``dpl-``). It is set on every boot by ``board/nxp/lx2160a/nbxv3/carrier.c`` +from the compile time ``NBXV3_CARRIER_DEFAULT`` when the environment does +not define it, and is deliberately not saved. To pin another carrier:: + + => setenv carrier nbv32 && saveenv && reset + +Boot flow +--------- + +``mcinitcmd`` runs automatically at ``initr_net`` through the shared +``mc_env_boot()`` hook: it reads the FIT from the boot NOR, extracts MC, +DPC and DPL to DDR, starts the MC and queues the DPL with +``fsl_mc lazyapply``. By the time U-Boot prints its +prompt the DPMACs are live and ``ldpaa_eth`` has bound ``lanconsole0``, so +``ping`` / ``dhcp`` / ``tftp`` work immediately. At ``bootm`` time the +queued DPL is applied and the kernel boots with the full topology. + +``lazyapply`` (not ``apply``) is mandatory: an eager apply puts the MC in +the "deployed" state and the ``ldpaa_eth`` probe fails with +"DPL is deployed. No device available". + +``bootcmd`` is ``run mc_init || run provision_openocd_fit``: a module +whose FIT slot is blank or corrupted falls through to the semihosting +provisioning path. + +Environment variables +--------------------- + +========================== ================================================== +Variable Purpose +========================== ================================================== +mcinitcmd Load the FIT, start the MC, queue the DPL + (auto-run at initr_net). Set it empty + (``setenv mcinitcmd``) and ``saveenv`` to opt out + of the automatic MC bring-up, e.g. while the FIT + slot is intentionally blank. +mc_init ``bootm ${kernel_addr_r}#conf-${carrier}`` of the + FIT already loaded by ``mcinitcmd``. +linux_boot_fit Read the FIT from NOR and boot it; assumes the + MC is already running. +host_boot Load the FIT over ARM semihosting (JTAG probe) + and boot it. Mainly for bench iteration. +provision_openocd_fit Load the FIT over semihosting, erase the FIT + slot, write it, reset. Recovers a module with a + blank or corrupted FIT slot. +xspi_bootcmd Copy the FIT from the AHB mapped FlexSPI window + (0x21000000) with ``cp.b`` and boot it. Fallback + when the ``sf`` driver state is suspect. +mcmemsize MC private RAM carve out at the top of DDR, + 0x70000000 (1.75 GiB). The 256 MiB platform + default is too small for the full DPAA2 surface + of this module: the MC crashes in ``global_init`` + at QBMAN portal allocation ("MAJOR mem. manager + memory allocation failed"). Override with + ``setenv mcmemsize`` (256 MiB minimum). +fsl_bootcmd_mcinitcmd_set Sentinel read by the shared fsl-layerscape + ``board_late_init()``. Without it ``bootcmd`` and + ``mcinitcmd`` are overwritten with the LX2160ARDB + defaults (``sf probe 0:0``, raw blobs at the RDB + offsets), which do not match this board. Leave + it set. +kernel_addr_r DDR load address of the FIT (0xc0000000). +fit_nor_offset Offset (0x1000000) and size cap (0x1000000, 16 MiB) +fit_nor_size of the kernel FIT slot in the boot NOR, used by + every macro that reads or writes the FIT. +carrier Carrier selection, see above. +ethprime ``lanconsole0`` (CONFIG_ETHPRIME): the RGMII + management port is the default device for + ``dhcp`` / ``tftp`` / ``ping``. +nbxv3_vdd_mv Millivolt integer in [600, 1100]: bypass the + VID fuse and pin the +0V8_VDD core rail at that + voltage. Unset = follow the fuse. +pci_iommu_extra Hotplug entries for the PCIe endpoints + (1.0.0 behind each root complex): they train + only after Linux releases PERST#, so their + streamID LUT and msi-map / iommu-map are + pre-provisioned. See README.pci_iommu_extra + in arch/arm/cpu/armv8/fsl-layerscape/doc/. +mdio_list ``mdio list`` with a banner, run from + ``preboot``, so the boot log shows which PHY + drivers bound. +PS1 / ps_refresh Interactive prompt (``nbxv3> ``); ``ps_refresh`` + rebakes PS1 from ``${ethact}`` and ``${ipaddr}`` + (run from ``preboot``, and by hand after ``dhcp``). +preboot ``run mdio_list ; run ps_refresh``. +========================== ================================================== + +All ``bootm`` invocations select the carrier configuration explicitly +with ``#conf-${carrier}``; without the suffix ``bootm`` uses the FIT's +default configuration, which is whatever carrier the FIT was built for. + +Boot time board hooks +--------------------- + +At ``EVT_LAST_STAGE_INIT`` the board prints a status of the MPQ8785 +core regulator (``pmbus`` command ready without ``pmbus dev``), a +telemetry status of the PMBus PSU bricks bound to the generic PMBus +regulator driver, applies the VID fuse voltage trim to the +0V8_VDD +rail, probes the ZL30733 / ZL30643 DPLL identification registers +(``dpll_info`` re-runs it) and enables the +3V3_FAN rail. Each hook +returns silently when its device is not described. + +The ``u-boot,nickname`` device tree property renames the DPAA2 Ethernet +devices to role based names (``lanconsole0``, ...) through an +``EVT_DM_PRE_PROBE`` spy. + +Commands +-------- + +Board specific: + +- ``dpll_info``: re-run the DPLL identification probe (ZL30733 on + ``spi0:0``, ZL30643 on ``spi2:1``); a DPLL whose bus is not described + is reported "not reachable". + +Tree commands the board relies on: + +- ``pmbus telemetry`` / ``pmbus status`` / ``pmbus mps last``: the MPQ8785 + core regulator is pre-selected at boot, no ``pmbus dev`` needed. +- ``regulator list`` / ``regulator info +0V8_VDD`` / ``regulator value``: + the UCLASS_REGULATOR view of the same chip. Do not + ``regulator disable +0V8_VDD``: U-Boot's regulator uclass does not + enforce ``regulator-always-on`` on the disable path and this is the + SoC core rail. +- ``temperature list`` / ``temperature get``: JC42 DIMM sensors + (``ddr-top``, ``ddr-bottom``), the QorIQ TMU and the MPQ8785 die. +- ``i2c bus`` / ``i2c probe``: the on module buses and the IIC6 carrier + mux tree (each PCA9548 channel is its own bus number). +- ``mdio list`` / ``mii info``: the RTL8211FD on ``emdio1``. +- ``gpio status``: the SoC GPIO controllers with their line names; the + gpio-hog children are applied at GPIO probe. +- ``sf`` (boot NOR, ``sf probe 3:0``), ``mmc`` (eMMC), ``pci``, ``usb``, + ``eeprom`` (board ID EEPROM at 0x52), ``wdt``, ``rng``, ``dm tree``. + +Boot log +-------- + +The board hooks print one banner each before the prompt:: + + Carrier: nbv30 (default, not saved - `setenv carrier <name> ...) + MPQ8785 @ i2c0:0x10 MFR_ID="MPS" ... + +0V8_VDD: VOUT=... uV enabled=1 + MPQ8785 (+0V8_VDD): VID handoff fuse=0x.. target=... mV ... + DPLL: ZL30733 @ spi0:0 info=0xa1 (EEPROM boot) id=0x0e95 rev=0x03 + DPLL: ZL30643 spi2:1 not reachable (...) + === Nbxv3 probed PHYs === + ... + nbxv3 lanconsole0 192.168.x.y> + +Building +-------- + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ make nbxv3_tfa_defconfig + $ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- + +``u-boot.bin`` is the BL33 payload packaged in the TF-A FIP at NOR +offset 0x100000. + +When ``${carrier}`` is not in the environment the board falls back to the +compile time ``NBXV3_CARRIER_DEFAULT``, which defaults to ``nbv30``.
