Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] drm/tegra: falcon: Add support for RISC-V external boot
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:57:42 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622-t264-host1x-v2-5-ff7364d9ff7b@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622-t264-host1x-v2-0-ff7364d9ff7b@nvidia.com>
Add support for loading and booting RISC-V firmwares on Falcons with
RISC-V hardware. The flow is mostly the same as for traditional
Falcons, with a few different registers and different firmware layout.
Signed-off-by: Mikko Perttunen <mperttunen@nvidia.com>
