commit d89337c8fce0d214dd487fd63693be844acf1734 Author: Jens Rottmann JRottmann@LiPPERTembedded.de Date: Fri Mar 1 19:41:41 2013 +0100
AMD Hudson-E1: document Broadcom BCM57xx secret sauce Selfboot Patch format
The Broadcom BCM5785 integrated in the AMD Hudson-E1 requires a proprietary firmware blob to work. As Broadcom wasn't willing to send us any documentation (or a firmware adapted to our Micrel PHY) I had to figure out everything by myself in weeks of hard detective work.
In the end we had to settle for a different solution, this file is now only needed for Ethernet support on our early FrontRunner-AF prototypes. However the information contained here may be very useful for others, for example it can easily be used in place of the usual firmware blob to get Ethernet on AMD Inagua.
The fun thing is: as Broadcom refused to do any business with us at all, or send us any documentation, we never had to sign an NDA with them. This leaves me free to publish everything I have found out. :-)

It uses a standard RGMII/MII interface and the Broadcom drivers will + * recognize it by its unchanged PCI ID 14E4:1699, however there are some + * specialties. + * + * The 5785 MAC can detect the link with 4 additional inputs, "phy_status[3:0]", + * 'snooping' on the PHY's LED outputs. Interpretation of the LEDs' patterns is + * programmed with register 0x5A4 of the MAC. AMD renamed them to "GBE_STAT" and + * won't say anything about their purpose. Appearently hardware designers are + * expected to blindly copy the Inagua reference schematic: GBE_STAT2: + * 0=activity; GBE_STAT[1:0]: 11=no link, 10=10Mbit, 01=100Mbit, 00=1Gbit. + * + * For package processing the 5785 also features a MIPS-based RISC CPU, booting + * from an internal ROM. The firmware loads config data and supplements (e.g. to + * support specific PHYs), named "Selfboot Patches", via the "NVRAM Interface", + * usually from an external EEPROM. The A55E doesn't have any balls for an ext. + * EEPROM, instead AMD added a small internal RAM. The BIOS is expected to copy + * the correct contents into this RAM (which only supports byte access!) upon + * each powerup. The A55E can trigger an SMI upon writes, enabling the BIOS to + * forward any changes to an actually 'NV' location, e.g. the BIOS's SPI flash, + * behind the scenes. AMD calls it "GEC shadow ROM", not describing what it's + * for nor mentioning the term "NVRAM". broadcom_init() below documents a + * procedure how to upload the patch. No SMI magic is installed, therefore + * 'NV'RAM writes won't be persistent. + * + * The "Selfboot Patch" can execute simple commands at various points during + * main firmware execution. This can be used to change config registers, + * initialize a specific PHY or work around firmware bugs. Broadcom provides + * suitable Patches only for their AC131 and 50610 PHYs (as binary blobs). I + * found them in DOS\sb_patch\5785*\sb5785*.* in Driver_14_6_4_2.zip.
