+CSE FW update mechanism for devices in field
+
+## Introduction
+
+CSE Firmware and PMC Firmware are critical components of Intel SoCs.
+CSE and PMC cooperate by providing platform services during boot and other
+power transition flows.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Currently, on Chromium OS Systems, CSE region is not updatable. So, new CSE FW
+versions that are released by Intel to address important functional and security
+bugs post-product launch will not be available to the end-user. Hence, the proposed
+solution allows in-field CSE FW update to propagate those bug fixes
+to end user platforms.
+
+## Design Proposal
+
+### CSE FW design Proposal:
+
+Key Elements:
+
+- CSE FW layout is composed of two bootable partitions (RO Recovery Partition
+ and RW Normal Partition).
+
+- Boot partition selection: An API-based mechanism is used to decide from which partition
+ CSE will boot.
+
+- The HECI APIs below will be supported in this CSE FW:
+
+ - HMRFPO_ENABLE: This command requests the CSE enter a mode in which writes to
+ the CSE region from the CSE are disabled. It also grants temporary write access
+ to the RW partition from the host (RO is still protected by GPR0).
+
+ - GET_PARTITION_INFO: The command retrieves information for each boot partition from CSE
+ like version, start/end offsets of a partition within CSE region, and boot
+ partition status. Also, it provides below information:
+ - The current boot partition which was used during this boot,
+ - The boot partition that will be used on the next CSE reset
+ - The number of boot partitions available in the CSE region
+
+ - SET_BOOT_PARTITION_INFO: This command allows the firmware to request the
+ CSE to boot from either its RO or RW partition at its next reset.
+
+ - DATA_CLEAR: This command requests the CSE to reset its data partition back
+ to manufacturing defaults
+
+FW Layout, RW/RO Partitions:
+
+The CSE RO partition is the first in the CSE boot order, hence it will be used
+out of G3. RO partition contains minimum CSE code capable to boot platform and
+execute FW update of RW partition. In addition to CSE code, the RO partition also
+contains PMC FW patch and other CSE-loadable platform FW components.
+
+RW partition contains fully operational CSE FW, PMC FW, other CSE loadable
+platform FW components.
+
+Boot partition selection:
+
+CSE FW shall support 2 APIs to get boot partition info, and set boot partition
+info to notify CSE to select the partition on the next boot.
+
+### HOST FW Design proposal:
+
+Key Elements:
+
+- Build time artifacts:
+
+ CSE RW Version update binary - The FW shall pack CSE RW update blob and
+ corresponding version binary which contains version of the CSE RW blob.
+
+- FW Update:
+
+ coreboot will implement the logic to compare the CSE's FW version with CBFS
+ CSE RW binary's version in the firmware slot (FW_MAIN_A/FW_MAIN_B) and update
+ the CSE RW region if there is a version mismatch. If there is no version
+ mismatch, firmware skips CSE FW update.
+
+- Handling of CSE FW Downgrade:
+
+ coreboot will send DATA_CLEAR HECI command when there is a CSE FW downgrade.
+ This must be done to avoid data mismatch due to CSE FW downgrade. Further,
+ CSE will restore the data back to manufacturing defaults after data reset.
+
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+
+To enable CSE FW update flow the following changes are required in coreboot:
+
+* Descriptor change may be required to accommodate CSE binary. The CSE binary is tied with
+a platform. So CSE size may vary from one platform to another.
+* FMAP changes may be required to accommodate CSE binary and CSE RW blob in the RW CBFS region.
+Please check platform specific CSE kit for CSE binary information.
+* CSE Lite SKU binary and CSE RW blob
+* Makefile change to pack CSE RW binaries in the CBFS
+* Implementation of update flow:
+ - Get CSE boot partition info using GET_BOOT_PARTITION_INFO HECI command.
+ - Get the cbfs_me_rw.version from the currently selected RW slot.
+ - If the version from the above 2 locations don't match, then start CSE FW update.
+ - If CSE is not booting from RO, then
+ - Set the CSE's next boot partition to RO using SET_BOOT_PARTITION_INFO
+ HECI command.
+ - Send GLOBAL_RESET HECI command to reset the system.
+ - If RW update is a CSE FW downgrade, then coreboot has to send
+ DATA_CLEAR command to clear run time data of CSE.
+ - Enable HMRFPO Mode (Host ME Region Flash Protection Override) by
+ sending HMRFPO_ENABLE HECI command to CSE.
+ - Erase and Copy the CBFS CSE RW to CSE RW partition
+ - Set CSE's next boot partition to RW.
+ - Trigger Global Reset which resets both CSE and Host.
+ Then system should boot with the updated CSE.
+
+* The resulting flash layout is shown below:
+
+![Flash Layout](./Layout_before.svg) ![FlashLayout](./Layout_after.svg)
+
+
+ - Typical boot flow
+
+ - Vboot selects the RW FW (FW_MAIN_A or FW_MAIN_B) to boot.
+ - coreboot skips CSE FW update flow if boot mode is recovery.
+ - If CSE RW blob is not locatable in the CBFS, then RW Firmware skips update flow
+ and sends SET_BOOT_PARTITION_INFO command to switch CSE to boot from RW
+ and issues Global Reset if CSE is already not booting from RW partition.
+ - The RW firmware will compare the CSE RW version with CSE RW blob in the slot.
+ - If there is a mismatch, then firmware will carry out update flow as explained before.
