飞思卡尔21IC支持小组推出手把手学会i.MX开发系列十八、MX6 SoloX bare metal startup
关于i.mx6SoloX板子，我们这边也刚开始用，还在熟悉中，后续还有文档分享给大家。
According to section 13.5 (Cortex-M4 Boot Requirements) of the i.MX6SX Reference Manual :
• Cortex-A9 always boots as the primary core.
• Cortex-M4 does not have a boot ROM and at POR is not provided a clock.
• Cortex-A9 ROM is responsible for the following:
• Loading and authenticating A9 bootloader and initiating Cortex-M4
firmware as a unified image.
• Setting up Cortex-M4 initial exception table in TCRAML
• Launching the Cortex-M4 by enabling its clock.
In addition : M4 obtains minimal initial vector table, containing
a) Initial Stack pointer
b) Reset vector
c) NMI vector
from a fixed location (zero offset) in TCM(L) after A9 enables it’s clock.
So, A9 (bootloader) is responsible for:
Configuring M4 initial vector table in TCM(L) ;
Loading M4 code ;
Configuring CSU and RDC for TrustZone (if needed)
and A9/M4 domain separation ;
Enabling M4 clock.
Please look at the enclosed projects, which help to understand how to build, load
and run startup codes for both Cortex-A9 and Cortex-M4 cores of i.MX6 SoloX.
Also note : the i.MX6 SoloX has two cores with different address mapping.
Please refer to Table 2-1 (System memory map) for Cortex-A9 core and
to Table 2-2 (CM4 memory map) for Cortex-M4 of the i.MX6 SoloX
Reference Manual. To run Cortex-M4 it is needed to fill TCM(L), that
is addressed as TCML ALIAS (from zero). The same memory is mapped
to 0x007f8000 of the Cortex-A9 (non-reflected in the Table 2-1).
Note, this area is accessible by the Cortex-A9 after M4 clock is enabled
in CCM_CCGR3.
