+# Cavium bootflow
+
+The on-chip **BOOTROM** first sets up the L2 cache and the SPI controller.
+It then reads **CSIB_NBL1FW** and **CLIB_NBL1FW** configuration data to get
+the position of the bootstage in flash. It then loads 192KiB from flash into
+L2 cache to a fixed address. The boot mode is called "Non-Secure-Boot" as
+the signature of the bootstage isn't verified.
+The **BOOTROM** can do AES decryption for obfuscation or verify the signature
+of the bootstage. Both features aren't used and won't be described any further.
+
+* The typical position of bootstage in flash is at address **0x20000**.
+* The entry point in physical DRAM is at address **0x100000**.

+# Cavium CN81xx documentation
+
+## Reference code
+
+```eval_rst
+The Cavium reference code is called `BDK`_ (board development kit) and is part
+of the `Octeon-TX-SDK`_. Parts of the `BDK`_ have been integrated into coreoboot.
+```
+
+## SOC code
+
+The SOC folder contains functions for:
+* TWSI
+* UART
+* TIMER
+* SPI
+* MMU
+* DRAM
+* CLOCK
+* GPIO
+* Secondary CPUs
+* PCI
+
+All other hardware is initilized by the BDK code, which is invoked from
+ramstage.
+
+## Notes about the hardware
+
+Cavium SoC do **not** have embedded SRAM. The **BOOTROM** setups the
+L2 cache and loads 192KiB of firmware starting from 0x20000 to a fixed
+location. It then jumps to the firmware.
+
+```eval_rst
+For more details have a look at `Cavium CN8XXX Bootflow`_.
+```
+
+## CAR setup
+
+For Cache-as-RAM we only need to lock the cachelines which are used by bootblock
+or romstage until DRAM has been set up. At the end of romstage the cachelines
+are unlocked and the contents are flushed to DRAM.
+Locked cachelines are never evicted.
+
+The CAR setup is done in '''bootblock_custom.S''' and thus doesn't use the common
+aarch64 '''bootblock.S''' code.
+
+## DRAM setup
+
+```eval_rst
+The DRAM setup is done by the `BDK`_.
+```
+
+## PCI setup
+
+The PCI setup is done using the MMCONF mechanism.
+Besides configuring device visibility (secure/unsecure) the MSI-X interrupts
+needs to be configured.
+
+## Devicetree patching
+
+The Linux devicetree needs to be patched, depending on the available hardware
+and their configuration. Some values depends on fuses, some on user selectable
+configuration.
+
+The following SoC specific fixes are made:
+
+1. Fix SCLK
+2. Fix UUA refclock
+3. Remove unused PEM entries
+4. Remove unused QLM entries
+5. Set local MAC address
+
+## CN81xx quirks
+
+The CN81xx needs some quirks that are not documented or hidden in the code.
+
+### Violation of PCI spec
+
+**Problem:**
+
+* The PCI device 01:01.0 is disabled, but a multifunction device.
+* The PCI device 01:01.2 - 00:01.7 is enabled and can't be found by the coreboot
+  PCI allocator.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+The PCI Bus 0 and 1 are scanned manually in SOC's PCI code.
+
+
+### Crash accessing SLI memory
+
+**Problem:**
+
+The SLI memory region decodes to attached PCIe devices.
+Accessing the memory region results in 'Data Abort Exception' if the link of the
+PCIe device never had been enabled.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+Enable the PCIe link at least once. (You can disabling the link and the SLI
+memory reads as 0xffffffff.)
+
+
+### RNG Data Abort Exception
+
+**Problem:**
+
+'Data Abort Exception' on accessing the enabled RNG.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+Read the BDK_RNM_CTL_STATUS register at least once after writing it.
