Hi, expert

I use tda4, have some questions.

1. Tda4 has MCU ROM code and DMSC ROM code, the ROM code solidified into the soc? or need burn it manually ?

2. I study tda4 boot flow, but can not find out how DMSC and MCU communicate(red circle),please help me.

1、ROM code一般出厂的时候都固化好了。

2、我确认一下再给您回复

请查看以下回复：

1) MCU R5 RoM makes use of DMSC RoM services via Secure proxy IPC to authenticate tiboot3.bin & loads on to itself.

2) R5 SPL fetches the sysfw.itb from the boot media & loads the sysfw tifs binary to DMSC. U-Boot directory file: arch/arm/mach-k3/sysfw-loader.c & function k3_sysfw_loader.

3) The R5 SPL then extracts the board config data from the sysfw.itb. k3_sysfw_configure_using_fit function in arch/arm/mach-k3/sysfw-loader.c extracts the various config data and implements it.

4) Finally the R5 SPL loads the ATF(ARM trusted firmware) to 0x70000000 & brings the A72 out of reset & A73 starts executing.

如果您没有其它问题请帮忙确认答案，谢谢。
