    ARM: hpe: Introduce the HPE GXP architecture · 11d89440
    Nick Hawkins authored
    The GXP is the HPE BMC SoC that is used in the majority
    of current generation HPE servers. Traditionally the asic will
    last multiple generations of server before being replaced.
    
    Info about SoC:
    
    HPE GXP is the name of the HPE Soc. This SoC is used to implement many BMC
    features at HPE. It supports ARMv7 architecture based on the Cortex A9
    core. It is capable of using an AXI bus to whicha memory controller is
    attached. It has multiple SPI interfaces to connect boot flash and BIOS
    flash. It uses a 10/100/1000 MAC for network connectivity. It has multiple
    i2c engines to drive connectivity with a host infrastructure. There
    currently are no public specifications but this process is being worked.
    
    Previously there was a requirement to reset the EHCI controller for the
    asic to boot. This functionality has been moved to the u-boot
    bootloader.
