New U-boot flow with ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF) support: SPL (EL3) -> ATF-BL31 (EL3) -> U-Boot Proper (EL2) -> Linux (EL1)
Adding support for ATF means that using U-Boot on Stratix10 and Agilex without ATF keeps working, right?
ATF is needed in order for Stratix10 and Agilex's U-Boot to work.
Is there a technical requirement for that?
Yes. We are using ATF to provide PSCI services such as system reset (COLD reset), CPU_ON/CPU_OFF (CPU hotplug in Linux) and other secure services such as mailbox communications with Secure Device Manager and accessing the System Manager registers which are secure. Without PSCI services, we are able to boot until U-Boot proper only. Currently, our U-Boot in mainline doesn't boot to Linux due to these missing PSCI services. Another reason is we have another boot flow which is using ATF + UEFI. So now we are re-using the PSCI services from ATF so that now U-Boot and UEFI share the same ATF-BL31 image so that we don't have to reimplement another sets of PSCI services for U-Boot again. This will greatly reduce our engineering efforts.
Hmm, thanks for the explanation.
I don't really think I can review this, given the lack of knowledge about that PSCI stuff.
I must say it seems strange to me that U-Boot would have to rely on ATF though. How do other platforms implement this? Shouldn't PSCI be generic or is it really platform specific? If it's generic, isn't that a dupliation of code if you implement e.g. a reset driver for Stratix10 but call into PSCI?

SPL loads the u-boot.itb which consist of:
- u-boot-nodtb.bin (U-Boot Proper image)
- u-boot.dtb (U-Boot Proper DTB)
- bl31.bin (ATF-BL31 image)
Supported Platform: Intel SoCFPGA 64bits (Stratix10 & Agilex)
Now, U-Boot Proper is running in non-secure mode (EL2), it invokes SMC/PSCI calls provided by ATF to perform COLD reset, System Manager register accesses and mailbox communications with Secure Device Manager (SDM).
Steps to build the U-Boot with ATF support:
- Build U-Boot
- Build ATF BL31
- Copy ATF BL31 binary image into U-Boot's root folder
- "make u-boot.itb" to generate u-boot.itb

This one is included in another series already: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/user/todo/uboot/?series=132976
Does this mean that one will be abandonen? So the combined hex output part of that series is not required any more?
