Target Images
-------------

In order to boot we need tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin and u-boot.img.  Each SoC
variant (GP, HS-FS, HS-SE) requires a different source for these files.

 - GP

        * tiboot3-am62x-gp-evm.bin from step 3.1
        * tispl.bin_unsigned, u-boot.img_unsigned from step 3.2

 - HS-FS

        * tiboot3-am62x-hs-fs-evm.bin from step 3.1
        * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2

 - HS-SE

        * tiboot3-am62x-hs-evm.bin from step 3.1
        * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2

Image formats:
--------------

OSPI:
-----
ROM supports booting from OSPI from offset 0x0.

Flashing images to OSPI:

Below commands can be used to download tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin, and u-boot.img,
over tftp and then flash those to OSPI at their respective addresses.

.. prompt:: bash =>

  sf probe
  tftp ${loadaddr} tiboot3.bin
  sf update $loadaddr 0x0 $filesize
  tftp ${loadaddr} tispl.bin
  sf update $loadaddr 0x80000 $filesize
  tftp ${loadaddr} u-boot.img
  sf update $loadaddr 0x280000 $filesize

Switch Setting for Boot Mode
----------------------------

Boot Mode pins provide means to select the boot mode and options before the
device is powered up. After every POR, they are the main source to populate
the Boot Parameter Tables.

The following table shows some common boot modes used on AM62 platform. More
details can be found in the Technical Reference Manual:
https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruiv7 under the `Boot Mode Pins` section.

.. list-table:: Boot Modes
   :widths: 16 16 16
   :header-rows: 1

   * - Switch Label
     - SW2: 12345678
     - SW3: 12345678

   * - SD

   * - Ethernet
     - 00110000
     - 11000100

For SW2 and SW1, the switch state in the "ON" position = 1.

DFU based boot
--------------

To boot the board over DFU, set the switches to DFU mode and connect to the
USB type C DRD port on the board. After power-on the build artifacts needs to be
uploaded one by one with a tool like dfu-util.

.. am62x_evm_rst_include_start_dfu_boot

The initial ROM will have a DFU alt named `bootloader` for the initial R5 spl
upload. The next stages as exposed by U-Boot have target alts matching the name
of the artifacts, for these a USB reset has to be done after each upload.

When using dfu-util the following commands can be used to boot to a U-Boot shell:

.. prompt:: bash $

  dfu-util -a bootloader -D tiboot3.bin
  dfu-util -R -a tispl -D tispl.bin
  dfu-util -R -a u-boot.img -D u-boot.img

.. am62x_evm_rst_include_end_dfu_boot

Ethernet based boot
-------------------

To boot the board via Ethernet, configure the BOOT MODE pins for Ethernet boot.

On powering on the device, ROM uses the Ethernet Port corresponding to CPSW3G's MAC
Port 1 to transmit "TI K3 Bootp Boot".

The TFTP server and DHCP server on the receiver device need to be configured such
that VCI string "TI K3 Bootp Boot" maps to the file `tiboot3.bin` and the TFTP
server should be capable of transferring it to the device.

**Configuring DHCP server includes following steps:**

* Install DHCP server:

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server

* Disable services before configuring:

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo systemctl disable --now isc-dhcp-server.service isc-dhcp-server6.service

* DHCP server setup

Run the ip link or ifconfig command to find the name of your network interface:

Example

.. code-block::

  eno1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 172.24.145.229  netmask 255.255.254.0  broadcast 172.24.145.255

          inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
          inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>

          TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

Suppose we are using enxf8e43b8cffe8 interface, one end of it is connected to host PC
and other to board.

* Do the following changes in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf in host PC.

.. code-block::

  subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.254.0
  {
  range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.5;
  if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 16) = "TI K3 Bootp Boot"
  {
  filename "tiboot3.bin";
  } elsif substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "AM62X U-Boot R5 SPL"
  {
  filename "tispl.bin";
  } elsif substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 21) = "AM62X U-Boot A53 SPL"
  {
  filename "u-boot.img";
  }
  default-lease-time 60000;
  max-lease-time 720000;
  next-server 192.168.0.1;
  }

* Do following changes in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server

.. code-block::

  DHCPDv4_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
  INTERFACESv4="enxf8e43b8cffe8"
  INTERFACESv6=""

* For your interface change ip address and netmask to next-server and your netmask

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo ifconfig enxf8e43b8cffe8 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.254.0

* Enable DHCP

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo systemctl enable --now isc-dhcp-server

* To see if there is any configuration error or if dhcp is running run

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo service isc-dhcp-server status
  # If it shows error then something is wrong with configuration

**For TFTP setup follow below steps:**

* Install TFTP server:

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo apt install tftpd-hpa

tftpd-hpa package should be installed.

Now, check whether the tftpd-hpa service is running with the following command:

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo systemctl status tftpd-hpa

* Configuring TFTP server:

The default configuration file of tftpd-hpa server is /etc/default/tftpd-hpa.
If you want to configure the TFTP server, then you have to modify this configuration
file and restart the tftpd-hpa service afterword.

To modify the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa configuration file, run the following command

.. prompt:: bash $

  sudo vim /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

Configuration file may contain following configuration options by default:

.. code-block::

  # /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

  TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
  TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot"
  TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"
  TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"

Now change the **TFTP_DIRECTORY** to **/tftp** and add the **--create** option to the
**TFTP_OPTIONS**. Without the **--create** option, you won't be able to create or upload
new files to the TFTP server. You will only be able to update existing files.

After above changes /etc/default/tftpd-hpa file would look like this:

.. code-block::

  # /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

  TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
  TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftp"
  TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"
  TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure --create"

Since we have configured tftp directory as /tftp, put tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin
and u-boot.img after building it using sdk or manually cloning all the repos.

To build binaries use following defconfig files:

.. code-block::

  am62x_evm_r5_ethboot_defconfig
  am62x_evm_a53_ethboot_defconfig

`tiboot3.bin` is expected to be built from `am62x_evm_r5_ethboot_defconfig` and
`tispl.bin` and `u-boot.img` are expected to be built from
`am62x_evm_a53_ethboot_defconfig`.

Images should get fetched in following sequence as a part of boot procedure:

.. code-block::

  tiboot3.bin => tispl.bin => u-boot.img

ROM loads and executes `tiboot3.bin` provided by the TFTP server.

Next, based on NET_VCI_STRING string mentioned in respective defconfig file `tiboot3.bin`
fetches `tispl.bin` and then `tispl.bin` fetches `u-boot.img` from TFTP server which
completes Ethernet boot on the device.

Debugging U-Boot
----------------

See :ref:`Common Debugging environment - OpenOCD<k3_rst_refer_openocd>`: for
detailed setup information.

.. warning::

  **OpenOCD support since**: v0.12.0

  If the default package version of OpenOCD in your development
  environment's distribution needs to be updated, it might be necessary to
  build OpenOCD from the source.

.. include::  k3.rst
    :start-after: .. k3_rst_include_start_openocd_connect_XDS110
    :end-before: .. k3_rst_include_end_openocd_connect_XDS110

To start OpenOCD and connect to the board

.. prompt:: bash $

  openocd -f board/ti_am625evm.cfg
