ISH Firmware Loading from Host Flow
-----------------------------------
Starting from the Lunar Lake generation, the ISH firmware has been divided into two components for better space optimization and increased flexibility. These components include a bootloader that is integrated into the BIOS, and a main firmware that is stored within the operating system's file system.
The process works as follows:
- Initially, the ISHTP driver sends a command, HOST_START_REQ_CMD, to the ISH bootloader. In response, the bootloader sends back a HOST_START_RES_CMD. This response includes the ISHTP_SUPPORT_CAP_LOADER bit. Subsequently, the ISHTP driver checks if this bit is set. If it is, the firmware loading process from the host begins.
- During this process, the ISHTP driver first invokes the request_firmware() function, followed by sending a LOADER_CMD_XFER_QUERY command. Upon receiving a response from the bootloader, the ISHTP driver sends a LOADER_CMD_XFER_FRAGMENT command. After receiving another response, the ISHTP driver sends a LOADER_CMD_START command. The bootloader responds and then proceeds to the Main Firmware.
- After the process concludes, the ISHTP driver calls the release_firmware() function.
For more detailed information, please refer to the flow descriptions provided below:
