Various boot loaders for Exynos based boards use certain memory addresses during booting for different purposes. Mostly this is one of following : 1. as a CPU boot address, 2. for storing magic cookie related to low power mode (AFTR, sleep). The document, based solely on kernel source code, tries to group the information scattered over different files. This would help in the future when adding support for new SoC or when extending features related to low power modes.

The document tries to describe currently used interface between Linux kernel
|
|
and boot loaders on Samsung Exynos based boards. This is not a definition
|
|
of interface but rather a description of existing state, a reference
|
|
for information purpose only.
|
|
|
|
In the document "boot loader" means any of following: U-boot, proprietary
|
|
SBOOT or any other firmware for ARMv7 and ARMv8 initializing the board before
|
|
executing kernel.
