h1. XMMBoot

{{toc}}

h2.  Introduction

For both libsamsung-ipc and the Linux driver it's interesting to understand better the boot of the modem in order to come with good names for the abstraction.

h2. High level boot process 

The exact boot sequence is different on different devices:

* On most / all the devices we need to start by powering off the modem, and the link between the SOC and the modem. This makes sure that we can reliabily boot the modem at all times. 

* Then we need to configure the hardware to put the modem in loading mode and have everything ready for loading its firmware. On some device, the link needed to load the modem needs to be configured as well.

* Then we send the modem firmware to the modem

* Then on some devices we need extra step (like triggering an HSIC re-enumeration) once it's done. 

h2. Abstraction

* hci_power -> link_power

TODO:

* Find the difference between power_on and boot_power_on

** Look at the GPIOs and understand what they do

** Just read the code that use the GPIOs

** Diff both procedures

* Look which device has which XMM626X

* Add XMM6210 devices too

h3. GPIOs usage

TODO: make sure to mention what applies to what device

* Start with I9300. Assume I9300 if device is not mentioned. Mention device when not I9300

* Add more devices and mention them

Note that we don't limit ourselves to the drivers that are in use on the devices supported by Replicant.

As Samsung wrote drivers for the modem interfaces, and that the interface is similar across many different modems, other unused drivers and their comments also gives many hints about what the GPIOs are supposed to be used for.

|_. gpio platform data name |_. present |_. absent |_. Implementation |_. comments |

| "gpio_cp_on":https://git.replicant.us/replicant/kernel_samsung_smdk4412/tree/include/linux/platform_data/modem.h#n251 | GT-I9300 | | | powers on the modem? in which state (PMIC?, CPU?)

                        Can also read the modem CPU? and/or PMIC? reset state?

                          Also indicates when the CPU is ready to process modem stuff:

                          * The CPU can't process stuff if the HSIC link is in low power mode, "as shown in set_hsic_lpa_states in board-m0-modems.c":https://git.replicant.us/replicant/kernel_samsung_smdk4412/tree/arch/arm/mach-exynos/board-m0-modems.c#n310 so it sets gpio_pda_active to 0 in these cases. |

h3. Glossary

Terms for the modem CPU:

* BP: Baseband processor

* CP: Cellular? processor

Term for the CPU of the system on a chip running Replicant:

* AP: Application processor

TODO: move in its own page and point to it

LPA: Low power mode active (Related to ULPI specs only?)

ULPI: Probably a USB PHY spec

h3. SIM card presence detection

Do we really want to check the SIM card presence?

Would it be possible not to for privacy reasons?

Example:

* Boot a modem with a SIM

* Take away the SIM card

* Go to a protest with only the SIM card and a phone with no data on it to be able to call if necessary.

h3. TODO

* check gpio_flm_uart_sel in smdk4412 kernel too

h3. gpio_pda_active

From "cpuidle-exynos4.c":https://git.replicant.us/replicant/kernel_samsung_smdk4412/tree/arch/arm/mach-exynos/cpuidle-exynos4.c#n701 we have things like that:

#if defined(CONFIG_INTERNAL_MODEM_IF) || defined(CONFIG_SAMSUNG_PHONE_TTY)

	gpio_set_value(GPIO_PDA_ACTIVE, 0);

#endif

	if (log_en)

		pr_debug("+++lpa\n")

</pre>

and:

<pre>

	if (log_en)

		pr_debug("---lpa\n");

#if defined(CONFIG_INTERNAL_MODEM_IF) || defined(CONFIG_SAMSUNG_PHONE_TTY)

	gpio_set_value(GPIO_PDA_ACTIVE, 1);

#endif

	cpu_pm_exit();

Does it means that we are telling the modem about each time we go in suspend to RAM?
