J784S4 and AM69 Platforms
=========================

Introduction
------------
The J784S4 SoC belongs to the K3 Multicore SoC architecture
platform, providing advanced system integration in automotive,
ADAS and industrial applications requiring AI at the network edge.
This SoC extends the K3 Jacinto 7 family of SoCs with focus on
raising performance and integration while providing interfaces,
memory architecture and compute performance for multi-sensor, high
concurrency applications.

The device is partitioned into three functional domains, each containing
specific processing cores and peripherals:

1. Wake-up (WKUP) domain
    * ARM Cortex-M4F processor, runs TI Foundational Security (TIFS)

2. Microcontroller (MCU) domain
    * Dual core ARM Cortex-R5F processor, runs device management
      and SoC early boot

3. MAIN domain
    * Two clusters of quad core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72, runs HLOS
    * Dual core ARM Cortex-R5F processor used for RTOS applications
    * Four C7x DSPs used for Machine Learning applications.

Boot Flow
---------
Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow:

.. image:: img/boot_diagram_k3_current.svg
    :alt: K3 boot flow

- On this platform, "TI Foundational Security" (TIFS) functions as the
  security enclave master. While "Device Manager" (DM), also known as the
  "TISCI server" in TI terminology, offers all the essential services.

- As illustrated in the diagram above, R5 SPL manages power and clock
  services independently before handing over control to DM. The A72 or
  the C7x (Aux core) software components request TIFS/DM to handle
  security or device management services.

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.

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.

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

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

.. warning::

  **OpenOCD support since**: September 2023 (git master)

  Until the next stable release of OpenOCD is available in your development
  environment's distribution, it might be necessary to build OpenOCD `from the
  source <https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd>`_.
