<h1>x86 System on a Chip (SoC) Development</h1>
<p>
SoC development is best done in parallel with development for a specific
board. The combined steps are listed
<a target="_blank" href="../x86Development.html">here</a>.
The development steps for the SoC are listed below:
</p>
<ol>
<li><a target="_blank" href="../fsp1_1.html#RequiredFiles">FSP 1.1</a> required files</li>
<li>SoC <a href="#RequiredFiles">Required Files</a></li>
<li><a href="#Descriptor">Start Booting</a></li>
<li><a href="#EarlyDebug">Early Debug</a></li>
<li><a href="#Bootblock">Bootblock</a></li>
</ol>
<hr>
<h1><a name="RequiredFiles">Required Files</a></h1>
<p>
Create the directory as src/soc/<Vendor>/<Chip Family>.
</p>
<p>
The following files are required to build a new SoC:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Include files
<ul>
<li>include/soc/pei_data.h</li>
<li>include/soc/pm.h</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Kconfig - Defines the Kconfig value for the SoC and selects the tool
chains for the various stages:
<ul>
<li>select ARCH_BOOTBLOCK_<Tool Chain></li>
<li>select ARCH_RAMSTAGE_<Tool Chain></li>
<li>select ARCH_ROMSTAGE_<Tool Chain></li>
<li>select ARCH_VERSTAGE_<Tool Chain></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Makefile.inc - Specify the include paths</li>
<li>memmap.c - Top of usable RAM</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h1><a name="Descriptor">Start Booting</a></h1>
<p>
Some SoC parts require additional firmware components in the flash.
This section describes how to add those pieces.
</p>
<h2>Intel Firmware Descriptor</h2>
<p>
The Intel Firmware Descriptor (IFD) is located at the base of the flash part.
The following command overwrites the base of the flash image with the Intel
Firmware Descriptor:
</p>
<pre><code>dd if=descriptor.bin of=build/coreboot.rom conv=notrunc >/dev/null 2>&1</code></pre>
<h2><a name="MEB">Management Engine Binary</a></h2>
<p>
Some SoC parts contain and require that the Management Engine (ME) be running
before it is possible to bring the x86 processor out of reset. A binary file
containing the management engine code must be added to the firmware using the
ifdtool. The following commands add this binary blob:
</p>
<pre><code>util/ifdtool/ifdtool -i ME:me.bin build/coreboot.rom
mv build/coreboot.rom.new build/coreboot.rom
</code></pre>
<h2><a name="EarlyDebug">Early Debug</a></h2>
<p>
Early debugging between the reset vector and the time the serial port is enabled
is most easily done by writing values to port 0x80.
</p>
<h2>Success</h2>
<p>
When the reset vector is successfully invoked, port 0x80 will output the following value:
</p>
<ul>
<li>0x01: <a target="_blank" href="http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=coreboot.git;a=blob;f=src/include/console/post_codes.h;hb=HEAD#l45">POST_RESET_VECTOR_CORRECT</a>
- Bootblock successfully executed the
<a target="_blank" href="http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=coreboot.git;a=blob;f=src/cpu/x86/16bit/reset16.inc;hb=HEAD#l4">reset vector</a>
and entered the 16-bit code at
<a target="_blank" href="http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=coreboot.git;a=blob;f=src/cpu/x86/16bit/entry16.inc;hb=HEAD#l35">_start</a>
</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h1><a name="Bootblock">Bootblock</a></h1>
<p>
Implement the bootblock using the following steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Create the directory as src/soc/<Vendor>/<Chip Family>/bootblock</li>
<li>Add the timestamp.inc file which initializes the floating point registers and saves
the initial timestamp.
</li>
<li>Add the bootblock.c file which:
<ol type="A">
<li>Enables memory-mapped PCI config access</li>
<li>Updates the microcode by calling intel_update_microcode_from_cbfs</li>
<li>Enable ROM caching</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Edit the src/soc/<Vendor>/<Chip Family>/Kconfig file
<ol type="A">
<li>Add the BOOTBLOCK_CPU_INIT value to point to the bootblock.c file</li>
<li>Add the CHIPSET_BOOTBLOCK_INCLUDE value to point to the timestamp.inc file</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Edit the src/soc/<Vendor>/<Chip Family>/Makefile.inc file
<ol type="A">
<li>Add the bootblock subdirectory</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Edit the src/soc/<Vendor>/<Chip Family>/memmap.c file
<ol type="A">
<li>Add the fsp/memmap.h include file</li>
<li>Add the mmap_region_granularity routine</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Add the necessary .h files to define the necessary values and structures</li>
<li>When successful port 0x80 will output the following values:
<ol type="A">
<li>0x01: <a target="_blank" href="http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=coreboot.git;a=blob;f=src/include/console/post_codes.h;hb=HEAD#l45">POST_RESET_VECTOR_CORRECT</a>
