Renesas RZ/G
============

The "RZ/G" Family of high-end 64-bit Arm®-based microprocessors (MPUs)
enables the solutions required for the smart society of the future.
Through a variety of Arm Cortex®-A53 and A57-based devices, engineers can
easily implement high-resolution human machine interfaces (HMI), embedded
vision, embedded artificial intelligence (e-AI) and real-time control and
industrial ethernet connectivity.

The scalable RZ/G 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 RZ/G2 SoCs 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 before determining the boot reason (cold or warm).

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).

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 HiHope RZ/G2M development kit used in this port.

Build Tested:

TF-A Build Procedure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  Fetch all the above 3 repositories.

-  Prepare the AARCH64 toolchain.

-  Build u-boot using hihope_rzg2_defconfig.

   Result: u-boot-elf.srec

.. code:: bash

       make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
	  hihope_rzg2_defconfig

       make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

-  Build TF-A

   Result: bootparam_sa0.srec, cert_header_sa6.srec, bl2.srec, bl31.srec

.. code:: bash

       make bl2 bl31 rzg LOG_LEVEL=40 PLAT=rzg LSI=G2M RCAR_DRAM_SPLIT=2\
       RCAR_LOSSY_ENABLE=1 SPD="none" MBEDTLS_DIR=$mbedtls


Install Procedure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Boot the board in Mini-monitor mode and enable access to the
  QSPI flash.


- Use the flash_writer utility[2] to flash all the SREC files.
