Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] Documentation: rk35xx: expand on supported SoCs/boards
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:33:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218213542.3263658-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251218213542.3263658-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
We have fairly good Rockchip support and as can be seen in
81b2c56c7e9d ("ARM: Initial support for Rockchip RK3576"), adding new
SoC support can be very straight forward.
Adapt the docs to mention all what's currently supported and add a note
about how to extend support.

RK35xx Rockchip SoCs
====================
-Barebox features support for the Rockchip RK3566 and RK3568 SoCs, where the
-RK3566 can be considered as reduced but largely identical version of the
-RK3568.
+Barebox features support for multiple SoCs of the Rockchip RK35xx
+series, including RK3566, RK3568, RK3576 and RK3588.

+Adding new SoC support
+----------------------
+
+On 64-bit Rockchip Platforms, the barebox prebootloader acts as
+the latter part of BL2 to load TF-A and optionally OP-TEE and
+then execution continues to barebox proper as BL33.
+
+As the low-level setup of DRAM happens outside of barebox,
+adding support for new SoCs is thus very straight-forward.
+
+For base functionality, it probably requires only porting the
+Linux clk and pinctrl drivers as well as the boilerplate needed
+for every SoC. Reach out to the :ref:`mailing list <feedback>`
+if you have unsupported hardware.
