7.4.1. Using U-Boot to Perform Basic Operations

This section demonstrates how to use U-Boot to perform the following basic operations:
  • Querying the RSU status.
  • Querying the number of slots and the information about them.
  • Adding a new application image.
  • Verifying that an application image was written correctly.
  • Requesting a specific application image to be loaded.
Note: This section assumes that the flash contains the initial RSU image. If that is not true, you need to re-flash the initial image, as shown in the Flashing the Initial RSU Image to QSPI .
  1. Power cycle the board and press any key when prompted, to get to the U-Boot command prompt: 
    U-Boot 2021.01-12712-ge59d8e9eaa-dirty (Jun 23 2021 - 16:58:43 -0500)socfpga_stratix10

    Note: The rsu list U-Boot command does not have a RSU client equivalent. Instead, the same information can be retrieved using other commands, as shown next.
  4. Run the rsu status_log command to display the RSU status: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu status_log
Current Image   : 0x01000000
Last Fail Image : 0x00000000
State           : 0x00000000
Version         : 0x00000202
Error location  : 0x00000000
Error details   : 0x00000000
Retry counter   : 0x00000000

    Application image P1 is loaded, as it is the highest priority in the CPB. There are no errors.

  5. Run the rsu display_dcmf_version to query and display the decision firmware versions: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu display_dcmf_version
DCMF0 version = 21.2.0
DCMF1 version = 21.2.0
DCMF2 version = 21.2.0
DCMF3 version = 21.2.0
  6. Display information about the slots: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu slot_count
Number of slots = 3.
SOCFPGA # rsu slot_get_info 0
NAME: P1
OFFSET: 0x0000000001000000
SIZE: 0x01000000
PRIORITY: 1
SOCFPGA # rsu slot_get_info 1
NAME: P2
OFFSET: 0x0000000002000000
SIZE: 0x01000000
PRIORITY: [disabled]
SOCFPGA # rsu slot_get_info 2
NAME: P3
OFFSET: 0x0000000003000000
SIZE: 0x01000000
PRIORITY: [disabled]
SOCFPGA # rsu slot_size 0
Slot 0 size = 16777216.
SOCFPGA # rsu slot_size 1
Slot 1 size = 16777216.
SOCFPGA # rsu slot_size 2
Slot 2 size = 16777216.
  7. Erase slot 1 and add the application2.rpd image to slot 1: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu slot_erase 1
Slot 1 erased
SOCFPGA # load mmc 0:1 $loadaddr application2.rpd
3358720 bytes read in 153 ms (20.9 MiB/s)
SOCFPGA # rsu slot_program_buf 1 $loadaddr $filesize
Slot 1 was programmed with buffer=0x0000000002000000 size=3358720.
  8. Verify that the application image was written correctly: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu slot_verify_buf 1 $loadaddr $filesize
Slot 1 was verified with buffer=0x0000000002000000 size=3358720.
  9. Confirm that slot 1 (partition P2) contains now the highest priority image: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu slot_get_info 1
NAME: P2
OFFSET: 0x0000000002000000
SIZE: 0x01000000
PRIORITY: 1
  10. Power-cycle the board, stop U-Boot and check the RSU status log: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu status_log         
Current Image   : 0x02000000
Last Fail Image : 0x00000000
State           : 0x00000000
Version         : 0x00000202
Error location  : 0x00000000
Error details   : 0x00000000
Retry counter   : 0x00000000

    The application image from slot 1 (partition P2) was loaded, because it is marked as the highest priority in the CPB.

  11. Load the application image from slot 0 (partition P1) by running any of the following two commands: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu update 0x01000000
RSU: RSU update to 0x0000000001000000
    or 
    SOCFPGA # rsu slot_load 0
  12. Load the newly requested image. Stop at U-Boot prompt and check the status log to confirm it: 
    SOCFPGA # rsu status_log
Current Image   : 0x01000000
Last Fail Image : 0x00000000
State           : 0x00000000
Version         : 0x00000202
Error location  : 0x00000000
Error details   : 0x00000000
Retry counter   : 0x00000000
    Note: In U-Boot, the effect of requesting a specific image is immediate. On Linux, it only takes effect on the next reboot command.
