Subject: [PATCH v8 3/8] mach-k3: common: enable falcon mode from R5 SPL
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 18:29:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027130004.2156121-4-anshuld@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251027130004.2156121-1-anshuld@ti.com>
We use the spl_board_prepare_for_boot hook to call k3_r5_falcon_prep
which is ran after tispl is loaded but before jump_to_image.
In k3_r5_falcon_prep, we find the boot media and load the kernel FIT
just as standard secure falcon mode (since spl_start_uboot returns 0
now). Once the kernel and args are loaded.
Now when the flow goes to jump_to_image, we do the regular pre-jump
procedure and jump to TFA which jumps to the kernel directly since we
have already loaded the kernel and dtb at their respective addresses
(PRELOADED_BL33_BASE and K3_HW_CONFIG_BASE).
