The PCAP behave similar and have similar registers and bits, but the register layouts are completely different. It seems that for programming the FPGA on the ZynqMP, one would at least have to configure the internal stream switch and use CSU DMA engine for the image transfer. For encrypted bitstreams, the AES engine in the CSU has to be used as well. > > Is the CSU within ZynqMP used for something other than programming the > firmware in barebox? At the moment, Barebox doesn't directly use the CSU. Barebox is not even allowed to access the CSU register. It uses SMCs via TF-A to instruct the PMU-FW to program the FPGA. The PMU-FW then talks to the CSU for actually programming the FPGA. If Barebox would run as first stage bootloader, it might use the CSU to read the PS version or might use some of the authentication/encryption features of the CSU, but this is currently not the case. Watch out for the overloaded term "firmware". The firmware manager in the zynqmp-fpga driver in Barebox is able to _load_ a "firmware", in this case the FPGA bitstream. The firmware-zynqmp driver is a driver to _talk to_ the PMU firmware, which is a firmware that is already running on the system.
