Some TI K3 SoCs like J721S2, and J784S4 have a HSM (High Security Module) M4F core in the Wakeup Voltage Domain which could be used to run secure services like Authentication. Boot flow for HSM M4 core is different than the general purpose M4F cores, and is as below:
1. Request control of HSM M4F remote processor. 2. Assert Reset on the HSM M4F remote processor. 3. Request Secure Entity to Authenticate and Load HSM firmware into core's internal SRAM memory region. For GP device, load the firmware manually into core's SRAM region. 4. Deassert Reset on the HSM M4F remote processor. 5. Release control of HSM M4F remote processor. This series adds support to boot HSM M4 core from R5 SPL stage. The HSM firmware is packed inside the tispl.bin fit image. The firmware is unpacked into a temporary DDR address which is then used to load HSM core. The configs to boot HSM M4 core are disabled by default.
