Description
===========
"R-Car" is the nickname for Renesas' system-on-chip (SoC) family for
car information systems designed for the next-generation of automotive
computing for the age of autonomous vehicles.
The scalable R-Car hardware platform and flexible software platform
cover the full product range, from the premium class to the entry
level. Plug-ins are available for multiple open-source software tools.

Overview
--------
On the rcar-gen3 the BOOTROM starts the cpu at EL3; for this port BL2
will therefore be entered at this exception level (the Renesas' ATF
reference tree [1] resets into EL1 before entering BL2 - see its
bl2.ld.S)
BL2 initializes DDR (and on some platforms i2c to interface to the
PMIC) before determining the boot reason (cold or warm).
During suspend all CPUs are switched off and the DDR is put in backup
mode (some kind of self-refresh mode). This means that BL2 is always
entered in a cold boot scenario.
Once BL2 boots, it determines the boot reason, writes it to shared
memory (BOOT_KIND_BASE) together with the BL31 parameters
(PARAMS_BASE) and jumps to BL31.
To all effects, BL31 is as if it is being entered in reset mode since
it still needs to initialize the rest of the cores; this is the reason
behind using direct shared memory access to BOOT_KIND_BASE _and_
PARAMS_BASE instead of using registers to get to those locations (see
el3_common_macros.S and bl31_entrypoint.S for the RESET_TO_BL31 use
case).
Depending on the boot reason BL31 initializes the rest of the cores:
in case of suspend, it uses a MBOX memory region to recover the
program counters.

How to build
============
The TF-A build options depend on the target board so you will have to
refer to those specific instructions. What follows is customized to
the H3 SiP Salvator-X development system used in this port.
Build Tested:
-------------
RCAR_OPT="LSI=H3 RCAR_DRAM_SPLIT=1 RCAR_LOSSY_ENABLE=1"
MBEDTLS_DIR=$mbedtls_src
$ MBEDTLS_DIR=$mbedtls_src_tree make clean bl2 bl31 rcar_layout_tool \
PLAT=rcar ${RCAR_OPT} SPD=opteed
System Tested:

Until it gets merged into OP-TEE, the port requires Renesas'
Trusted Environment with a modification to support power
management.

TF-A Build Procedure
--------------------
- Fetch all the above 4 repositories.
- Prepare the AARCH64 toolchain.
- Build u-boot using r8a7795_salvator-x_defconfig.
Result: u-boot-elf.srec
.. code:: bash
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
r8a7795_salvator-x_defconfig
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
- Build atf
Result: bootparam_sa0.srec, cert_header_sa6.srec, bl2.srec, bl31.srec
.. code:: bash
RCAR_OPT="LSI=H3 RCAR_DRAM_SPLIT=1 RCAR_LOSSY_ENABLE=1"
MBEDTLS_DIR=$mbedtls_src_tree make clean bl2 bl31 rcar \
PLAT=rcar ${RCAR_OPT} SPD=opteed
- Build optee-os
Result: tee.srec
.. code:: bash
make -j8 PLATFORM="rcar" CFG_ARM64_core=y
Install Procedure
-----------------
- Boot the board in Mini-monitor mode and enable access to the
Hyperflash.
- Use the XSL2 Mini-monitor utility to accept all the SREC ascii
transfers over serial.
Boot trace
==========
Notice that BL31 traces are not accessible via the console and that in
order to verbose the BL2 output you will have to compile TF-A with
LOG_LEVEL=50 and DEBUG=1
