This patch set introduces virtio support for imx7d-m4 communication:
- support booting loaded vim imx-rproc firmware
- implement .kick method support using mailbox in imx-processor
- parse vdev0vring0, vdev0vring1, vdev0buffer memory regions required
for virtio_rpmsg_bus initialization
Regarding imx7d-m4 boot proccess
Citing ARM documentation:
At Reset, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors always boot from a vector table at address zero.
"With uninitialized memory at address zero (for example, unprogrammed Flash or uninitialized RAM),
the processor will read a spurious initial Main Stack Pointer value from address zero and a spurious
code entry point (Reset vector) from address 0x4, possibly containing an illegal instruction
set state specifier (ESPR.T bit) in bit[0]."
So to successfully boot m4 coproc we need to write Stack Pointer and Program counter, i see no
obvious to get Stack Pointer value, so two ways exist ethier form a special elf section:
"
.loader :
{
LONG(__StackTop);
LONG(Reset_Handler + 1);
} > m_start
"
and put it at 0x0 address:
"
m_start (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x00000000, LENGTH = 0x00008000
"
Or (the way i've chosen) only put Entry Point at 0x04 and set stack as first instruction:
"
Reset_Handler:
ldr sp, =__stack /* set stack pointer */
"
Regarding mailboxes and memory regions :
This code is heavily derived from stm32-rproc (i.e. copy pasted) and this fact needs to
reflected in commits, please tell me how to emphasize this fact.
