2.2 General principle of downloading 21
se
After hardware reset, the application part of baseband processor (CPU) starts executing 22
23
code from the on-chip Boot ROM (SCROM). This code initializes baseband processor and
24
checks if there is an external connection from the host PC to the baseband via the UART
ea

25
and/or USB ports. 26
27
If a connection has been detected, the baseband starts communication with the host PC 28
el

according to the protocol embedded in the SCROM. Typically the communication protocol 29
allows the host to ask baseband’s HW and SW versions, make SCROM to execute some 30
simple commands and load arbitrary data (code) to the available not-protected RAM. The 31
R

host PC may use this protocol to upload and pass the control to special embedded SW 32
which will then assist flash programming and other complex operations under the host 33
control. 34
35
If no connection has been detected, the SCROM finishes initialization and jumps to CS0 in 36
case of NOR boot, or copies the first pages of NAND to SCRAM and jumps to SCRAM in 37
38
case of NAND boot.
39
The software uploading process has some minor differences depending on the family of 40
41
chipsets and type of target memory device (NOR flash, NAND flash or RAM) and will be
42
described below. 43
44
2.2.1 PL Feature and PL Entry ICs: UART downloading process differences 45
While PL_FEATURE family of chipsets uploads data in binary format, the SCROM of 46
47
PL_ENTRY family (PNX4908, PNX4910) uploads data in the Intel Hex32 format only. But
48
the same amount of data in the Intel Hex32 format requires ~3 times more time to transfer 49
than in the binary form. Due to this reason and also because of historically taken 50
approach, in case of PL_ENTRY chipsets, the host PC uploads the embedded flash 51
loaders in SCRAM in two steps. First it uploads and runs a small auxiliary loader in the 52
Intel Hex32 format. Then the auxiliary loader makes the necessary CPU initialization and 53
RAM remapping and uses its own protocol to load the embedded flash loader in binary 54
format. 55

There is no principal difference in the host-target communication protocol between 2
PL_FEATURE and PL_ENTRY families. 3

10
2.2.2.1 Hardware backdoor
11
On PL_FEATURE family, in order to make a host to target connection over USB when the 12
flash is not erased, the customer must use a backdoor.This backdoor consists in 13
pressing at the same time any three keys1 on the keyboard during the reset or power 14
ON sequence of the target. When the STOP button, on the Flash Loader MMI appears the 15
16
customer can release the keys. 17
18
2.2.2.2 Software backdoor

d
19
As the hardware backdoor can not be used on final products without keyboards, we have 20
21
se
introduced a software backdoor allowing to update a non-empty flash without pressing at
the same time different keys. That solution is based on an AT-command sent to the device 22
23
by the flashloader. A checkbox button has been added in the main FL window to enable
24
the software backdoor use. It can only work if the program already in flash is compatible
ea

25
with that AT-command: when the board connected to the PC boots, COM ports are 26
created waiting for a given AT-command to come. 27

2.2.3 Download into external RAM 41
42
The Boot ROM code receives data on the selected link (UART or USB) and copies them 43

2.2.5 Download into NOR flash (single file and multiple file programming)
3
NOR Flashes can be programmed in the following ways: 4
5
• with a single file for execution in place (.cla file) 6
7
• starting with Flashloader 7.3 and 6529 ICs, with multiple files including a boot section 8
and partitions (.ptt selected as entry file in Flashloader MMI). The boot section will be 9
shadowed in SCRAM by the bootrom and executed. This is the same concept as 10
used for Nand programming described in Section 2.2.7. 11
12
To download into NOR flash, the principle is more complex and requires first to erase the 13
NOR flash contents (if the NOR flash is not virgin), then to send some write commands to 14
the flash. To do so a special software is needed: the Loader that is first loaded into 15
SCRAM then executed by the system controller. 16
17
18
The Loader allows to:

d
19
20
• Communicate with the host (PC tool) 21
se
• Detect the type of flash memory used 22
23
• Get the flash parameters from the flash database
24
ea

• Set the flash parameters into the embedded generic driver 25

26
• Erase the flash
27
• Program the flash 28
el

29
Remark: If the device used is a protected device the process is more complex. For more 30
details about this process see Section 2.3.5 “Download into NOR flash with a protected 31
R

device (PL_FEATURE family)”. 32

33
As characteristics (length, block, ...), commands and scenario programming are different 34
between different flash memories, it is necessary to have parameters set for the generic 35
Flash driver. This parameters are available through the Flash database. 36

The download of the binary file is made in several steps (see Figure 5 “Download into 1
2
NOR flash”).
3
4
Note that for PL_ENTRY Step 2 is not relevant in UART mode and is replaced with a more
5
complex sequence as described in Section 2.2.1 “PL Feature and PL Entry ICs: UART 6
downloading process differences”. Thus Step 2 becomes “The Boot ROM code 7
downloads a first loader into SCRAM” and a Step 2.1 “The first loader downloads the 8
main Loader in SCRAM“ must be added. Then, from Step 3, the sequence is the same as 9
the one describes below. 10
11
• Step 0: After a hardware Reset or Power-on, execution of the Boot ROM (BB, 12
UART/USB init) 13
14
• Step 1: The Boot ROM code checks an eventual connection with a host (PC tool) 15
• Step 2: The Boot ROM code downloads the Loader into internal SCRAM 16
17
• Step 3: Execution of the Loader into SCRAM ( detects NOR flash type, Erase NOR 18
flash, ...)

d
19
• Step 4: The loader downloads either one binary file from the host and program the 20
21

NOR Flash (.cla file), or multiple files and program the different binaries in NOR
partitions (.ptt as entry file with a SWboot major version set to 5 and a SWboot minor 22

2.2.6 Download into DDRAM memory
3
To download into DDRAM memory, the principle is more complex and requires first to 4
5
initialize the SDI_SDRAM IP, then to write the data into the DDRAM memory.To do so a
6
special software is needed: the Loader that is first loaded into SCRAM then executed by 7
the system controller. 8
9
The Loader allows to: 10
11
• Communicate with the host (PC tool) 12
• Detect the type and the size of DDRAM memory used 13
14
• Erase or Reset the DDRAM memory (set DDRAM memory to 0xFF) 15
• Write the DDRAM memory 16
17
The download of the binary file is made in several steps (see Figure 6 “Download into 18

2.2.7 Download into NAND flash

1
To download into NAND flash, the principle is similar to NOR flash except that different 2
binaries are downloaded into different NAND partitions instead of a unique binary file.The 3
input file is a partition file (.ptt). Nand flash device storage is divided into blocks and 4
pages. Each device consists of a large number of blocks, with each block divided into 5
pages. When the Nand Flash is shipped, it contains bad blocks (i.e. blocks that contain 6
7
one or more invalid bits, whose reliability is not guaranteed). Additional Bad Blocks may
8
develop during the lifetime of the device. Consequently, the Flash Loader had to support a 9
Bad Block Management (BBM) process. 10
A detailed description of the BBM is given in the Software Interface Specification for 11
NANDFLASH (Ref. 12 “NANDFLASH for Nexperia TM System Solution - Software 12
Interface Specification”) . The default Loader is used. 13
14
15
Remark: If the used device is a protected device, the process is more complex. For more 16
details about this process see Section 2.3.7 “Download into NAND flash with a protected 17
device (PL_FEATURE family)”. 18

d
19
Since characteristics (length, block, ...), commands and scenario programming are 20
21
se
different between different NAND flash memories, it is necessary to have parameters set
22
for the generic Flash driver.This parameters are available through the Flash database. 23
24
ea

25
The download of different NAND flash partitions is made in several steps (see Figure 7 26
“Download into NAND flash”). Step 0 to Step 4 are made at Power-ON 27
28
el

Note that for PL_ENTRY Step 2 is not relevant in UART mode and is replaced with a more 29
complex sequence as described in Section 2.2.1 “PL Feature and PL Entry ICs: UART 30
31
R

downloading process differences”. Thus Step 2 becomes “The Boot ROM code
downloads a first loader into SCRAM” and a Step 2.1 “The first loader downloads the 32
main Loader in SCRAM“ must be added. Then, from Step 3, the sequence is the same as 33
34
the one describes below. 35
36
• Step 0: After a hardware Reset or Power-on, execution of the Boot ROM (BB, 37
UART/USB init) 38
• Step 1: The Boot ROM code checks an eventual connection with a host (PC tool) 39
40
• Step 2: The Boot ROM code downloads the Loader into SCRAM 41
• Step 3: Execution of the Loader in SCRAM: 42
43
– Detect Flash type
44
– Get Flash parameters from flash database 45
46
– Set Flash parameters into embedded generic driver
47
– Initialize NAND Flash and get Reservoir Control Block 48
– Get the First Block data (contains BootNand, Partition Table, ..) 49
50
– Test Flash access and driver parameters 51
• Step 4...n: The PC sends sequentially to the Loader all the binaries to be programmed 52
53
into the appropriate partition. If the partition is protected, the header (the first 2 kbytes
54
of a partition first block) is AES encrypted by the Loader and written into the NAND 55
flash. 56

• Step n+1: When the Nand Flash is re-programmed, it is not always necessary to
reprogram its First block (FB). This first block is the block shadowed in SCRAM by the 1
2
Boot ROM and executed to mount the partitions. If an update of the FB is needed
3
(change in BootNand or signature or partition table has been detected), the PC sends 4
to the Loader the FB containing the partition table and the Boot NAND (see Ref. 12 5

Only one dongle is required per PC when performing multi-target downloads.

1
The flashloader code implements the interface with MARX dongles. Dongles from other 2
suppliers could be used, however it would require an update of the Flashloader code 3
4
(dongle dll code).
5
For security test purposes, the need of an hardware dongle has been removed and 6
7
replaced with a software only solution: test keys are read from a file (SecretKey.txt located
8
in the same folder than bfloader.exe) and used for AES computation by dongle dll code. 9
10
NOTE on Marx dongles: a “user password” is required when using MARX dongles. That
11
password is stored in the ini file (bfloader.ini) in the “user_passwd” field. Each section in 12
bfloader.ini dedicated to a target type has its own “user_passwd” field. The default ini file 13
sets “user_passwd” to “es” for all sections. It is up to the user to set “user_passwd” to the 14
value delivered by Marx with the purchased dongles. Internal program and documentation 15
to program dongles w/ keys and user password are available upon request. 16
17
2.3.2 Boot with a protected device 18

d
19
During the boot process, the Flash Loader requests from the protected device a string of 20
21
se
16 (109 for PNX6529) random bytes. This string is decrypted with the Dongle, completed
22
with the Customer ID and returned to the target (Ref. Section 5.2 “Advanced settings
23
window”.) 24
ea

25
The target checks if this is the correct response of either a development or a production 26
Dongle. In case of a development Dongle, Debug is allowed on the target. 27
28
el

2.3.3 Flash signature 29

30
Flash signature is used to guarantee flash contents integrity. 31
R

32
During flash programming, the Flash Loader requests from the protected device the flash 33
signature in encrypted form. This signature is decrypted by the Dongle and written into the 34
flash. 35
36
The Flash Loader only supports to write the signature at an address (signature offset) 37
38
included between the beginning and the end of the downloaded binary file. For more
39
details about the flash contents see Ref. 1 for PNX6511, Ref. 2 for PNX5220, Ref. 3 for 40
PRISM / PNX67xx and Ref. 4 for PNX6515 / PNX6516. 41
42
NOTE: 43
44
The signature offset is in the flash parameter section (see the relevant Security, Boot & 45
Download User Manual). The signature offset is automatically computed by the Flash 46
Loader and written into the flash parameters section. 47
48
• For NAND Flash, signature offset is hard-coded in the Flash Loader but can also be 49
found in BootNAND flash parameter section 50
51
• For NOR Flash, signature offset is taken from application binary. The Flash Loader 52
erase the block, corresponding to the signature offset, and rewrite it with the 53
decrypted signature. 54

2.3.4 OTP fuse

1
The Flash Loader allows to burn bits of the OTP fuse for PNX5xxx/6xxx ICs and starting 2
3
from release FL 7.3.x to program OTP of 4908/4910 ICs.
4
For PNX4908/10 ICs OTP programming is done word by word (32-bit word) and an ECC 5
6
is programmed for each 32 bit word. This mechanism prevents to program the same word 7
several times. 8
9
For other supported ICs (PNX5xxx/6xxx families), the OTP can be programmed bit wise 10
and so words can be programmed several times (setting to 1 bits that are still set to zero). 11
12
13
For PNX5xxx/6xxx ICfamilies, The OTP programming is done by sending a command to 14
the Boot ROM for each OTP row (OTP data x) specified in the Advanced Window of the 15
Flash Loader.Only the bits set to 1 are programmed. Setting a bit to 1 for a bit already 16
burnt in the fuse has no effect. 17
18

d
The OTP burning is done prior to processing the other commands selected in the main 19
20
window’s ‘Command’ section.
21
se
22
In case of a protected device, the customer id must be first authentified using a properly 23
programmed Dongle (see 2.3.2) in order to put the target in Debug mode. 24
ea

25
For more details about the OTP contents see Ref. 1 for PNX6511, Ref. 2 for PNX5220, 26
Ref. 3 for PRISM / PNX67xx and Ref. 4 for PNX6515 / PNX6516. 27

2.3.5 Download into NOR flash with a protected device (PL_FEATURE family) 29
30
31
R

To download into NOR flash with a protected device, the principle is the same as with a
non protected device, only that the binary file is split over 2 consecutive downloads and 32
33
that a signature is programmed in Flash. This procedure can also be executed with an
34
unprotected device, by checking the CalcSign check box (see Figure 14 “Flash Loader 35
main window”). 36
37
38
The download of the binary file consists of the following steps (see Figure 8 “Download 39
into NOR flash with a protected device”). 40
41
• Step 0: After hardware Reset or Power-on, execution of the Boot ROM (BB & UART or 42
USB init) 43
• Step 1: The Boot ROM code checks an eventual connection with a host (PC tool) 44
45
• Step 2: The Boot ROM code downloads the Loader into internal SCRAM 46
• Step 3: Execution of the Loader in SCRAM (flash type detection, flash erase, ...) 47
48
• Step 4: The Loader downloads and writes into the flash the first part of the binary file 49
from the beginning of the file to the signature offset 50
51
• Step 5: The Loader downloads and writes into the flash the second part of the binary 52
file from the signature offset + the signature length to the end of the file 53
• Step 6: The Boot ROM is reinitialized by a software reset 54
55
• Step 7: The Boot ROM code checks an eventual connection with a host (PC tool) 56

3.1.2 Zip package

1
1. Unzip the “bfloader_exe_vX.Y.Z.zip“ file in an empty directory (without spaces in the 2
complete path!) 3
4
5
This zip file is composed of: 6
– “bfloader.exe”: main executable file of the Flash Loader 7
8
– “bfluart.dll, bflusb.dll, bfldongle.dll, bfldb.dll“: DLLs used by the Flash Loader to 9
provide respectively UART communication, USB communication, security and 10
Flash database services. These DLLs shall be in the same directory as the 11
executable. 12
– “52xdfu.inf, 52xdfu.sys”: DFU driver based on CTO/LIPP USB stack 13
14
– “bfldb.csv”: default Flash Database file which stores flash configurations: name, 15
manufacturer id, device id, timing, size,.... 16
17
18
2. Launch “bfloader.exe“, the Main Flash Loader Window is displayed (see Figure 14

d
19
“Flash Loader main window”). Only download via UART is possible at the moment if 20
21
se
no USB driver has been installed yet (see next chapter).

3.2 USB driver installation procedures 25

26
There are two cases to distinguish:
27
• Only the CTO/LIPP USB stack will be installed. 28
el

29
In this case the CTO/LIPP USB stack is used by the boot ROM to download loader
30
and by the loader to download application in Flash. 31
R

• An external USB stack may be installed. 32

In this case the CTO/LIPP stack is used for the Boot downloading process (Boot 33
ROM) and the external USB stack is used by the external loader to download 34
35
application in Flash. The external loader shall of course be compatible with external
36
USB stack. 37
38
39
The next sections describe the Flash Loader settings and the USB drivers installation 40
once the Flash Loader tool is started. 41
42
3.2.1 Flash Loader setting for USB download 43
44
To perform a download over USB, the user must select a target supporting a USB stack in
45
the Boot ROM and select USB in “Communication settings“. For targets not supporting 46
USB, the USB option is disabled. 47
48
The USB driver will be requested by the Windows Install Wizard when Windows discovers 49
a new USB Hardware. 50

configurations are saved in this file. The user can add a target, a memory or change a 10
link by modifying this file. For example in order to change the parity and/or the number 11
of stop bit, you must change, for the selected target, the parity and/or stopbit value in 12
the #xx_link_BR_USER section. The parity value could be 1 (odd) or 2 (even). The 13
stopbit value could be 0 (1 stopbit) or 2 (2 stopbit). 14

“OneNand Flash”. It gives an indication on the location type. This information can be
3
different from a design to another, thus it has to be checked and modified if necessary. 4

12
13
Erase command: This command is only executed if the selected memory device is a 14
NOR flash, DDRAM memory or a NAND flash. The flash is erased with the length 15
specified by the erase option. 16
The NAND flash partitions are erased if ‘Erase’ command is selected in the main window 17
and if the ‘Erase’ and/or ‘Program’ check-boxes are checked in the partition table window. 18

20
Write command: This command is executed if the selected memory device is a flash or a
21
se
RAM. The memory device is programmed with the binary file. 22
For NAND flash, a partition is programmed if the associated check-box ‘Program’ is 23
selected in the partition table window. 24
ea

25
Execute command: This command is applicable to NOR flash, NAND flash or RAM 26
memory devices. The code downloaded in Flash is executed after a delay (see Section 27
28
el

5.2 “Advanced settings window”). Note for Nand Flash:after the download process ends, a
29
watchdog reset is done and the code is executed via the BootROM.
30
31
R

Upload command: This command is applicable to both flash or RAM memory devices. 32
The number of bytes read at a location specified below the Upload Option (in “Offset Hex” 33
field) is copied in a file whose name and path can be given by the customer in Section 5.2 34
“Advanced settings window”. The flashloader adapts the upload speed to be the fastest 35
according to the memory available on the target and the link protocol (UART/USB). Yet 36
variations in upload time can be noticed depending on the configuration. 37
38
39
Erase option / Upload option: only available if the ‘Erase’ command is selected (then
40
named “Erase option”) or if the ‘Upload’ command is selected (then named ‘Upload 41
option’). Only an erase or upload of the selected area is done: 42
43
• Application size: The flash is erased/uploaded with the length of the selected 44
application (in main window for NOR) or partitions (in partition table window for NAND, 45
in this case all the blocks including the partitions are erased/uploaded and not 46
exactely the partitions binary files). 47
48
• Complete (for Erase only): The flash is completely erased. 49
For NAND flash, only the valid blocks are erased. 50
• Custom: The flash is erased/uploaded from “Address” + “Offset” to “Address” + 51
“Offset” + “Length”. 52
In reality, the granularity is the sector size of the flash and the length is rounded to the 53
54
start address of the next sector.

A bad block has to be remapped to a valid block in the Reservoir Control Block. The 30
Reservoir Control Block is an area at the end of the Nand Flash that stores the “bad block 31

so store blocks data). 33
34
The mapping of bad blocks to reservoir blocks is stored in one (BBM v1, v2) or two tables 35
(BBM v3). The table must fit into one block and a copy of it is also available in the RCB. 36
When programming a block, the BBM is used to translate the block logical address (virtual 37

block number) into a block physical address (physical block number). The BBM checks if

6.2 Reading OTP on PL_ENTRY targets

To read OTP registers select ReadOtp in the
command section of the main window. Reading OTP
can be done in a complex scenario (for example
Erase/Write/BurnOtp) or alone.

In a complex scenario it will be done after erase, write

or upload but before execution.

In the main window press the “START” button.

Reading status are displayed in the message window.

After the run press the “STOP” button and go to the

advanced window. It displays the content of all
registers. If there are many devices the advanced
window is displaying the registers content of the
device selected in the main window. To display the
registers content of another device, close the

d
advanced window, select the other device in the main
window and re-open the advanced window.
