Subject: [PULL 54/60] docs/system: riscv: Add pflash usage details
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2023 11:20:11 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230614012017.3100663-55-alistair.francis@wdc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230614012017.3100663-1-alistair.francis@wdc.com>

From: Sunil V L <sunilvl@ventanamicro.com>

pflash devices can be used in virt machine for different
purposes like for ROM code or S-mode FW payload. Add a
section in the documentation on how to use pflash devices
for different purposes.

@@ -53,6 +53,37 @@ with the default OpenSBI firmware image as the -bios. It also supports
 the recommended RISC-V bootflow: U-Boot SPL (M-mode) loads OpenSBI fw_dynamic
 firmware and U-Boot proper (S-mode), using the standard -bios functionality.
 
+Using flash devices
+-------------------
+
+By default, the first flash device (pflash0) is expected to contain
+S-mode firmware code. It can be configured as read-only, with the
+second flash device (pflash1) available to store configuration data.
+
+For example, booting edk2 looks like
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ qemu-system-riscv64 \
+     -blockdev node-name=pflash0,driver=file,read-only=on,filename=<edk2_code> \
+     -blockdev node-name=pflash1,driver=file,filename=<edk2_vars> \
+     -M virt,pflash0=pflash0,pflash1=pflash1 \
+     ... other args ....
+
+For TCG guests only, it is also possible to boot M-mode firmware from
+the first flash device (pflash0) by additionally passing ``-bios
+none``, as in
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ qemu-system-riscv64 \
+     -bios none \
+     -blockdev node-name=pflash0,driver=file,read-only=on,filename=<m_mode_code> \
+     -M virt,pflash0=pflash0 \
+     ... other args ....
+
+Firmware images used for pflash must be exactly 32 MiB in size.
