5.3.2. U-Boot RSU Commands

U-Boot offers the rsu command, with a full set of options for managing the RSU, similar with the functionality offered by the RSU client.

The following commands do not have an RSU client equivalent:
  • list
  • update
  • dtb
The rsu list command:
  • Queries the SDM about the location of the SPT in flash, reads and displays it.
  • Reads the CMF pointer block from flash and displays the relevant information.
  • Queries SDM about the currently running image, RSU state and the encountered errors and displays the information.
The following is an example of the rsu list command being used:
SOCFPGA # rsu list

The rsu update command is used to tell the SDM to load an image from a specific address. The following is an example of the rsu update command:
SOCFPGA # rsu update 0x03000000
RSU: RSU update to 0x0000000003000000

The rsu dtb command is used to let U-Boot update the QSPI partition called "qspi_boot" in the Linux DTB so that it starts immediately after the BOOT_INFO partition. This way the decision firmware, decision firmware data, and the factory image are not accessible from Linux*, as this reduces the risk of accidental corruption for them. The size of the partition is also reduced accordingly.

For more information, refer to the Protected Access to Flash section.

The rsu dtb operates on the DTB loaded in memory by U-Boot, before passing it to Linux*. The sequence to use is:
  1. Load DTB.
  2. Run rsu dtb command.
  3. Boot Linux*

Refer to the Exercising U-Boot RSU Commands section for examples of how to use the U-Boot rsu command.

Refer to U-Boot RSU Reference Information for more details about U-Boot commands.
