This SoC is used in low end LTE-to-WiFi routers, for example some D-Link
DWR 932 revisions, ZTE K10, ZLT S10 4G, but also models that are branded
and sold by ISPs themselves. They are widespread in Africa, China,
Russia and Eastern Europe.
This SoC is a relative of the zx296702 and zx296718 that had some
upstream support until commit 89d4f98ae90d ("ARM: remove zte zx
platform"). My eventual goal is to enable OpenWRT to run on these
devices.

+====================================
+Booting Linux on ZTE zx297520v3 SoCs
+====================================
+
+...............................................................................
+
+Author: Stefan Dösinger
+
+Date : 27 Jan 2026
+
+1. Hardware description
+---------------------------
+Zx297520v3 SoCs use a 64 bit capable Cortex-A53 CPU and GICv3, although they
+run in aarch32 mode only. The CPU has support EL3, but no hypervisor (EL2) and
+it seems to lack VFP and NEON.
+
+The SoC is used in a number of cheap LTE to Wifi routers, both battery powered
+MiFis and stationary CPEs. In addition to the CPU these devices usually have
+64 MB Ram (although some is shared with the LTE chip), 128 MB NAND flash, an
+SDIO connected RTL8192-type Wifi chip limited to 2.4 ghz operation, USB 2,
+and buttons. Devices with as low as 32 MB or as high as 128 MB ram exist, as
+do devices with 8 or 16 MB of NOR flash.
+
+Some devices, especially the stationary ones, have 100 mbit Ethernet and an
+Ethernet switch.
+
+Usually the devices have LEDs for status indication, although some have SPI or
+i2c connected displays
+
+Some have an SD card slot. If it exists, it is a better choice for the root
+file system because it easily outperforms the built-in NAND.
+
+The LTE interface runs on a separate DSP called ZSP880. It is probably derived
+from LSI ZSPs and has an undocumented instruction set. The ZSP communicates
+with the main CPU via SRAM and DRAM and a mailbox hardware that can generate
+IRQs on either ends.
+
+There is also a Cortex M0 CPU, which is responsible for early HW initialization
+and starting the Cortex A53 CPU. It does not have any essential purpose once
+U-Boot is started. A SRAM-Based handover protocol exists to run custom code on
+this CPU.
+
+2. Booting via USB
+---------------------------
+
+The Boot ROM has support for booting custom code via USB. This mode can be
+entered by connecting a Boot PIN to GND or by modifying the third byte on NAND
+(set it to anything other than 0x5A aka 'Z'). A free software tool to start
+custom uboot and kernels can be found here:
+
+https://github.com/zx297520v3-mainline/zx297520v3-loader
+
+If USB download mode is entered but no boot commands are sent through USB, the
+device will proceed to boot normally after a few seconds. It is therefore
+possible to enable USB boot permanently and still leave the default boot files
+in place.
+
+3. Building for built-in U-Boot
+---------------------------
+The devices come with an ancient U-Boot that loads legacy uImages from NAND and
+boots them without a chance for the user to interrupt. The images are stored in
+files ap_cpuap.bin and ap_recovery.bin on a jffs2 partition named imagefs,
+usually mtd4. A file named "fotaflag" switches between the two modes.
+
+In addition to the uImage header, those files have a 384 byte signature header,
+which is used for authenticating the images on some devices. Most devices have
+this authentication disabled and it is enough to pad the uImage files with 384
+zero bytes.
+
+Builtin U-Boot also poorly sets up the CPU. Read the next section for details
+on this. It has no support for loading DTBs, so CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB is
+needed.
+
+So to build an image that boots from NAND the following steps are necessary:
+
+1) Patch the assembly code from section 3 into arch/arm/kernel/head.S.
+2) make zx29_defconfig
+3) make [-j x]
+4) cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/zte/[device].dtb > kernel+dtb
+5) mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x20008000 -d kernel+dtb uimg
+6) dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=384 of=ap_recovery.bin
+7) cat uimg >> ap_recovery.bin
+8) Place this file onto imagefs on the device. Delete ap_cpuap.bin if the
+free space is not enough.
+9) Create the file fotaflag: echo -n FOTA-RECOVERY > fotaflag
+
+For development, booting ap_recovery.bin is recommended because the normal boot
+mode arms the watchdog before starting the kernel.
+
+4. CPU and GIC Setup
+---------------------------
+
+Generally CPU and GICv3 need to be set up according to the requirements spelled
+out in Documentation/arch/arm64/booting.rst. For zx297520v3 this means:
+
+1. GICD_CTLR.DS=1 to disable GIC security
+2. Enable access to ICC_SRE
+3. Disable trapping IRQs into monitor mode
+4. Configure EL2 and below to run in insecure mode.
+5. Configure timer PPIs to active-low.
+
+The kernel sources provided by ZTE do not boot either (interrupts do not work
+at all). They are incomplete in other aspects too, so it is assumed that there
+is some workaround similar to the one described in this document somewhere in
+the binary blobs.
+
+The assembly code below is given as an example of how to achieve this:
+
+```
+#include <linux/irqchip/arm-gic-v3.h>
+#include <asm/assembler.h>
+#include <asm/cp15.h>
+
+@ This allows EL1 to handle ints hat are normally handled by EL2/3.
+ldr r3, =0xf2000000
+ldr r4, =#(GICD_CTLR_ARE_NS | GICD_CTLR_DS)
+str r4, [r3]
+
+cps #MON_MODE
+
+@ Work in non-secure physical address space: SCR_EL3.NS = 1. At least the UART
+@ seems to respond only to non-secure addresses. I have taken insipiration from
+@ Raspberry pi's armstub7.S here.
+@
+@ ARM docs say modify this bit in monitor mode only...
+mov r3, #0x131 @ non-secure, Make F, A bits in CPSR writeable
+ @ Allow hypervisor call.
+mcr p15, 0, r3, c1, c1, 0
+
+@ AP_PPI_MODE_REG: Configure timer PPIs (10, 11, 13, 14) to active-low.
+ldr r3, =0xF22020a8
+ldr r4, =0x50
+str r4, [r3]
+ldr r3, =0xF22020ac
+ldr r4, =0x14
+str r4, [r3]
+
+@ Enable EL2 access to ICC_SRE (bit 3, ICC_SRE_EL3.Enable). Enable system reg
+@ access to GICv3 registers (bit 0, ICC_SRE_EL3.SRE) for EL1 and EL3.
+mrc p15, 6, r3, c12, c12, 5 @ ICC_SRE_EL3
+orr r3, #0x9 @ FIXME: No defines for SRE_EL3 values?
+mcr p15, 6, r3, c12, c12, 5
+mrc p15, 0, r3, c12, c12, 5 @ ICC_SRE_EL1
+orr r3, #(ICC_SRE_EL1_SRE)
+mcr p15, 0, r3, c12, c12, 5
+
+@ Like ICC_SRE_EL3, enable EL1 access to ICC_SRE and system register access
+@ for EL2.
+mrc p15, 4, r3, c12, c9, 5 @ ICC_SRE_EL2 aka ICC_HSRE
+orr r3, r3, #(ICC_SRE_EL2_ENABLE | ICC_SRE_EL2_SRE)
+mcr p15, 4, r3, c12, c9, 5
+isb
+
+@ Back to SVC mode. TODO: Doesn't safe_svcmode_maskall do this for us anyway?
+cps #SVC_MODE

This is based on the removed zx29 code. A separate (more complicated)
patch will re-add the register map to the pl011 serial driver.

I am unsure about the virtual address. It doesn't seem to matter, as
long as it is a valid address. This address is based on the old removed
code. Is there a rule-of-thumb physical to virtual mapping I can use to
give a sensible default value?

The stock kernel does not use this timer, but it seems to work fine. The
board has other board-specific timers that would need a driver and I see
no reason to bother with them since the arm standard timer works.
The caveat is the non-standard GIC setup needed to handle the timer's
level-low PPI. This is the responsibility of the boot loader and
documented in Documentation/arch/arm/zte/zx297520v3.rst.

This is the UART that sends Uboot messages and is accessible via pins on
the boards I have seen so far. UART0 and UART2 exist as well in the SoC
and can be used with the right pinmux settings on some boards. They will
be added later.
Signed-off-by: Stefan Dösinger <stefandoesinger@gmail.com>

The reason why I add the serial1=uart1 alias is to keep console=ttyAMA1
stable regardless of the other enabled UARTs. UART0, as the name
implies, has a lower MMIO address, but uart1 is the one that usually has
the boot output and console.

I'm not sure I'm following here. You generally want to either make
sure the alias matches whatever number is printed on the product
if there are multiple numbered ports, or you just use 'serial0'
as the only alias if there is only one port.

Either way, the alias should go into the board specific file, not
the general SoC file, as a board might be using a different
set of UARTs.

Since you know the addresses of the other uart instances, I would
suggest you add all of them at the same time.

Not all boards have their uart pins labeled, but those that do have the pins that connect to the UART at 0x01408000 named UART1RX/UART1TX. Most boards have only one though. I have seen a picture of only one that has UART0 and UART1. I could not test that board myself yet.
My original reason is one of developer convenience: If I have
uart0=serial@131000{
reg = <0x00131000 0x1000>;
...
status = "disabled";
};
uart1=serial@1408000{
reg = <0x01408000 0x1000>;
...
status = "okay";
};
cmdline="... console=ttyAMA{0/1} ..."
changing uart0.status between disabled and okay (e.g. to experiment with uart0 and pinctrl) required changing the command line to match. I found that pretty annoying and the aliases seemed like the best way to avoid this.
Either way I am open to do whatever. I can keep the current naming for the reasons stated above, I can name serial@1408000 "uart0" and leave the others without an alias or I can drop the alias altogether.

That works for me, I'll move them. The aliases will most likely be the same for all boards based on this chipset, meaning duplicate code, but matching the alias to the board labels makes sense to me.

Will do.
I'll hold off for a bit before I resend the patches to see if some other comments come up.
Cheers,
Stefan
