phyCORE-AM68x/TDA4x
===================
The `phyCORE-AM68x/TDA4x <https://www.phytec.eu/en/produkte/system-on-modules/phycore-am68x-tda4x/>`_
is a SoM (System on Module) populated with AM68x or TDA4x SoCs from TI's J721S2
family. It can be used in combination with different carrier boards. This module
can come with different sizes and models for DDR, eMMC, ETH-PHY, SPI NOR Flash
and an optional SN65DSI83 DSI->LVDS transceiver using DSI0.
A development Kit, called `phyBOARD-Izar <https://www.phytec.eu/en/produkte/development-kits/phyboard-izar/>`_
is used as a carrier board reference design around the AM68x/TDA4x SoM.
Quickstart
----------
* Download sources and TI firmware blobs
* Build Trusted Firmware-A
* Build OP-TEE
* Build U-Boot for the R5
* Build U-Boot for the A72
* Create bootable uSD Card
* Boot

uSD Card creation
-----------------
Use fdisk to partition the uSD card. The layout should look similar to:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 15 GB, 15913189376 bytes, 31080448 sectors
242816 cylinders, 4 heads, 32 sectors/track
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Device Boot StartCHS EndCHS StartLBA EndLBA Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 * 128,0,1 1023,3,32 16384 278527 262144 128M c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 1023,3,32 1023,3,32 278528 1693883 1415356 691M 83 Linux
Once partitioned, the boot partition has to be formatted with a FAT filesystem.
Assuming the uSD card is `/dev/mmcblk0`:
.. code-block:: bash
$ mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
To boot from a micro SD card on a HSFS device simply copy the following
artifacts to the FAT partition:
* tiboot3.bin from R5 build
* tispl.bin from Cortex-A build
* u-boot.img from Cortex-A build
Boot
----
Put the uSD card in the slot on the board and apply power. Check the serial
console for output.
Boot Modes
----------
The phyBOARD-Izar development kit supports booting from many different
interfaces. By default, the development kit is set to boot from the micro-SD
card. To change the boot device, DIP switches S8 and S7 can be used.
Boot switches should be changed with power off.
