AE350
======

AE350 is the mainline SoC produced by Andes Technology using AndesV5 CPU core
based on RISC-V architecture.

AE350 has integrated both AHB and APB bus and many periphals for application
and product development.

AndesV5 is Andes CPU IP family that adopts RISC-V architecture.

AndesV5 family includes 25, 27, 45 series.

 - Configurable number of targets:  1-16
 - Preempted interrupt priority stack

Build and boot steps
--------------------

Build:

1. Prepare the toolchains and make sure the $PATH to toolchains is correct.
2. Use `make ae350_rv[32|64]_defconfig` in u-boot root to build the image for
   32 or 64 bit.

Verification:

1. startup
2. relocation
3. timer driver
4. uart driver
5. mac driver
6. mmc driver
7. spi driver

Steps
-----

1. Ping a server by mac driver
2. Scan sd card and copy u-boot image which is booted from flash to ram by sd driver
3. Burn this u-boot image to spi rom by spi driver
4. Re-boot u-boot from spi flash with power off and power on

Running U-Boot SPL
------------------
The U-Boot SPL will boot in M mode and load the FIT image which include
OpenSBI and U-Boot proper images. After loading progress, it will jump
to OpenSBI first and then U-Boot proper which will run in S mode.


How to build U-Boot SPL
-----------------------
Before building U-Boot SPL, OpenSBI must be build first. OpenSBI can be
cloned and build for AE350 as below:

.. code-block:: none

        git clone https://github.com/riscv/opensbi.git
        cd opensbi
        make PLATFORM=andes/ae350

Copy OpenSBI FW_DYNAMIC image (build/platform/andes/ae350/firmware/fw_dynamic.bin)
into U-Boot root directory


How to build U-Boot SPL booting from RAM
----------------------------------------
With ae350_rv[32|64]_spl_defconfigs:

U-Boot SPL will be loaded by gdb or FSBL and runs in RAM in machine mode
and then load FIT image from RAM device on AE350.


How to build U-Boot SPL booting from ROM
----------------------------------------
With ae350_rv[32|64]_spl_xip_defconfigs:

U-Boot SPL can be burned into SPI flash and run in flash in machine mode
and then load FIT image from SPI flash or MMC device on AE350.
