[PATCH v3 0/3] Add i.MX94 remoteproc support and reset vector handling improvements
From: Peng Fan (OSS)
Date: Wed Apr 15 2026 - 03:51:56 EST
This series adds remoteproc support for the i.MX94 family, including the
CM70, CM71, and CM33S cores, and derive the hardware reset vector for
Cortex‑M processors whose ELF entry point does not directly correspond to
the actual reset address.
Background:
Cortex‑M processors fetch their initial SP and PC from a fixed reset vector
table. While ELF images embed the entry point (e_entry), this value is
not always aligned to the hardware reset address. On platforms such as
i.MX94 CM33S, masking is required to compute the correct reset vector
address before programming the SoC reset registers.
Similarly, on i.MX95, the existing implementation always programs a reset
vector of 0x0, which only works when executing entirely from TCM. When
firmware is loaded into DDR, the driver must pass the correct reset vector
to the SM CPU/LMM interfaces.
Summary of patches:
[1]dt-bindings: remoteproc: imx-rproc: Introduce fsl,reset-vector-mask
Adds a new DT property allowing SoCs to specify a mask for deriving the
hardware reset vector from the ELF entry point.
[2]remoteproc: imx_rproc: Program non-zero SM CPU/LMM reset vector
Ensures the correct reset vector is passed to SM APIs by introducing a
helper (imx_rproc_sm_get_reset_vector()) that applies the reset‑vector
mask.
[3]remoteproc: imx_rproc: Add support for i.MX94 remoteproc
Adds address translation tables and configuration data for CM70, CM71,
and CM33S, enabling full remoteproc operation on i.MX94.

Changes in v3:
- Patch 2:
Drop R-b because of changes in V3
Following suggestion from Mathieu that apply reset vector in
scmi_imx_[cpu,lmm]_reset_vector_set(), not change the meaning of
rproc->bootaddr, add helper imx_rproc_sm_get_reset_vector() to get reset
vector and use the hlper in scmi_imx_[cpu,lmm]_reset_vector_set().
Add reset-vector-mask for i.MX95 CM7 to avoid breaking i.MX95 CM7
boot.
