To avoid the need of extra boot scripting on AM65x for loading a
watchdog firmware, add the required rproc init and loading logic for the
first R5F core to the watchdog start handler. The firmware itself is
embedded into U-Boot binary.

One possible firmware source is https://github.com/siemens/k3-rti-wdt.

Can we get the rproc id from DT?

You mean, resolve "mcu_r5fss0_core0" to the ID? Doable.


I'm now probing for the first instance of "ti,am654-r5f" compatible. That
excludes usage for the J721E for now, but that one is fine without firmware -
provided there is way to prevent power-down for RTI watchdog otherwise...

I was more of thinking to have a DT property to reference R5-core. But anyways,
the property is not present in kernel. I am okay with this for now.

Note that not all properties in a DT in Linux need to be used in Linux,
this is something I _think_ there is growing understanding of.

FIT is the preferred way of packing images in U-Boot. Can you try using it?

How does that work? Some example for me?


If you happen to refer to fs-loader: That does not target OSPI, our primary use
case.

No. I was thinking to pack the image in FIT along with ATF and OPTEE like in
k3_fit_atf.sh and register a U_BOOT_FIT_LOADABLE_HANDLER for installing the
firmware.


What benefit would that bring? There are other users of this pattern, e.g.
board/xilinx/zynqmp/pm_cfg_obj.S.

I didn't know U-Boot is accepting this. Tom, is this the preferred way for
including firmware images?

Adding in Michal.  Why is this area doing what it's doing and not one of
the other generic ways to handle this problem?  Thanks!


So, what are the recommended "generic ways" for these use cases?

Is there a way to stick own stuff into u-boot.itb and get that provided to some handler of U-Boot proper? Seems unlikely. The pattern I found pushes the firmware into the kernel fit image - which is a clear no-go for the watchdog use case because it shall monitor the booting of that very same image (software update case).
