2025-02-03mlxbf-bootctl: Support sysfs entries for RTC battery statusXiangrong Li1-0/+10
This patch extends the mlxbf-bootctl driver's sysfs entries to support read access for the board's RTC battery status. A successful read from this attribute returns the status of the board's RTC battery. The RTC battery status register is also cleared upon successful read operation.

2023-08-23mlxbf-bootctl: Support sysfs entries for MFG fieldsDavid Thompson1-0/+66
This patch extends the mlxbf-bootctl driver's sysfs entries to support read and write access for the manufacturing (MFG) fields in the board-level EEPROM. The MFG fields are set once during the board manufacturing phase, and then the MFG fields are write-protected.

2023-05-16mlxbf-bootctl: Add sysfs file for BlueField boot logLiming Sun1-0/+9
This commit adds sysfs interface to be used to write into the boot log which is 1KB HW buffer on BlueField SoC. The same log buffer is also used by firmware code like ATF/UEFI, and can be displayed by userspace tools or from external host via USB/PCIe.

2023-04-17mlxbf-bootctl: Add sysfs file for BlueField boot fifoLiming Sun1-0/+7
This commit adds sysfs file for BlueField boot fifo. The boot fifo is usually used to push boot stream via USB or PCIe. Once OS is up, it can be reused by applications to read data or configuration from external host.

There are a number of new changes at the ABI files that cause them to produce warnings when generating ABI output. Fix them.

2019-12-20platform/mellanox: fix the mlx-bootctl sysfsLiming Sun1-5/+5
This is a follow-up commit for the sysfs attributes to change from DRIVER_ATTR to DEVICE_ATTR according to some initial comments. In such case, it's better to point the sysfs path to the device itself instead of the driver. The ABI document is also updated.

2019-10-15platform/mellanox: Add bootctl driver for Mellanox BlueField SocLiming Sun1-0/+58
This commit adds the bootctl platform driver for Mellanox BlueField Soc, which queries secure state and controls the eMMC boot partition swapping by sending SMC calls to ATF running at EL3. Below are the sequences of typical use case. 1. User requests boot partition swapping, which could be on-demand or during boot-image upgrade via UEFI capsule; 2. This bootctl driver handles the request and sends SMC call to ATF. ATF programs register BREADCRUMB0 which has value preserved during warm reset. It also programs eMMC to swap the boot partition; 3. After software reset (rebooting), ATF BL1 (BootRom) checks register BREADCRUMB0 and enable watchdog if configured; 4. If booting fails, the watchdog timer will trigger rebooting. In such case, ATF Boot ROM will switch the boot partition back to the previous one. This is a robust feature and used to prevent failure during boot partition upgrade.
