The Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP) is a co-processor found on Tegra SoCs. It is designed to handle the early stages of the boot process and offload power management tasks (such as clocks, resets, powergates, ...) as well as system control services. Compared to the ARM SCPI, the services provided by BPMP are message- based rather than method-based. The BPMP firmware driver provides the services to transmit data to and receive data from the BPMP. Users can also register a Message ReQuest (MRQ), for which a service routine will be run when a corresponding event is received from the firmware. A set of messages, called the BPMP ABI, are specified for a number of different services provided by the BPMP (such as clocks or resets).

IVC (Inter-VM Communication) protocol is part of the IPC

(Inter Processor Communication) framework on Tegra. It maintains the

data and the different commuication channels in SysRAM or RAM and
|

keeps the content is synchronization between host CPU and remote

processors.

BPMP (Boot and Power Management Processor) is designed to off-loading
|
|
the PM functions which include clock/DVFS/thermal/power from the CPU.
|
|
It needs HSP as the HW synchronization and notification module and
|
|
IVC module as the message communication protocol.
|
|
|
|
This driver manages the IPC interface between host CPU and the
|
|
firmware running on BPMP.
