Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Add support for RPMI to U-Boot
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 13:15:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626201613.1035208-1-charles.perry@microchip.com> (raw)

Hello,

This series adds support for RISC-V Platform Management Interface (RPMI) to
U-Boot. RPMI is an OS-agnostic protocol for communication between an
Application Processor (AP) and a Platform Microcontroller (PuC) [1]. The
goals and purpose of RPMI are similar to ARM's SCMI.

This patchset first adds an abstraction layer for the transport
(UCLASS_RPMI), then adds two transport layer (SBI MPXY and shared memory)
and finally adds two client, or service group in RPMI jargon: Clock and
device power service groups.

This series also include a sandbox mode for which the RPMI transport
doesn't attach to a firmware but contains a simulation of a firmware. This
reuses code from librpmi [2] to create the message responses.

Apart from the spec [1], this series reuses code from the Linux SBI MPXY
driver [3], OpenSBI shared memory transport [4] and Linux RPMI clock driver
[5].

This was tested on a PIC64-HPSC SoC which features an application cluster
and a system controller with isolated address spaces, hence the need for
RPMI.  I've tested the interoperability between RPMI clients and transports
with an S-Mode U-boot (using the MPXY transport) and M-Mode U-Boot (using
shared memory transport) and the following device tree fragment:

```
	firmware {
		rpmi: mailbox@7000000000 {
			compatible = "riscv,rpmi-shmem-mbox";
			reg = <0x70 0x00000000 0x0 0x3000>,
				<0x70 0x00003000 0x0 0x3000>,
				<0x70 0x00006000 0x0 0x1000>,
				<0x70 0x00007000 0x0 0x1000>;
			reg-names = "a2p-req", "p2a-ack", "p2a-req", "a2p-ack";
			riscv,slot-size = <64>;
			#mbox-cells = <1>;
		};

ifndef CONFIG_RISCV_MMODE
		clock-service {
			compatible = "riscv,rpmi-mpxy-clock";
			mboxes = <&rpmi 0x8>;
			riscv,sbi-mpxy-channel-id = <0x1000>;
		};

		device-power-service {
			compatible = "riscv,rpmi-mpxy-device-power";
			mboxes = <&rpmi 0x9>;
			riscv,sbi-mpxy-channel-id = <0x1001>;
		};

		mpxy_mbox: mailbox {
			compatible = "riscv,sbi-mpxy-mbox";
			#mbox-cells = <2>;
		};
endif

		sysc_clk: clock-controller {
			compatible = "riscv,rpmi-clock";
ifdef CONFIG_RISCV_MMODE
			mboxes = <&rpmi 0x8>;
else
			mboxes = <&mpxy_mbox 0x1000 0x0>;
endif
			#clock-cells = <1>;
		};

		sysc_dpwr: power-domain-controller {
			compatible = "riscv,rpmi-device-power";
ifdef CONFIG_RISCV_MMODE
			mboxes = <&rpmi 0x9>;
else
			mboxes = <&mpxy_mbox 0x1001 0x0>;
endif
			#power-domain-cells = <1>;
		};
	};
