[PATCH v3 0/2] Initial Renesas R-Car remoteproc support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Most of the SoCs in the R-Car gen3 SoC series such as
H3,M3 and E3 have an 'Arm Realtime Core'.
This Realtime core is an Arm Cortex-R7 clocked at 800MHz.
This series adds initial support to load a firmware and start
this remote processor through the remoteproc subsystem.

This series depends on
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-renesas-soc/patch/20211022122101.66998-1-julien.massot@xxxxxxx/
to be able to set the Cortex-R7 boot address.

One of the way to test this driver is to use the zephyr upstream support
for h3ulcb board 'blinky' demo is my favorite testing firmware.

To generate a firmware with the zephyr project.

follow this starting guide
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/2.7.0/getting_started/index.html

Then compile your zephyr demo
west build -b rcar_h3ulcb_cr7 zephyr/samples/basic/blinky \
    -DCONFIG_KERNEL_ENTRY=\"_vector_table\" \
    --build-dir h3-blinky

Then you can use h3-blinky/zephyr/zephyr.elf as a testing
firmware.

Patch 1/2 adds the dt-bindings

Patch 2/2 is a small driver to cover basic remoteproc
usage: loading firmware from filesystem, starting and stopping the
Cortex-r7 processor.
