T23x Boot Configuration Table (BCT) — deployment reference
Source: NVIDIA T23x BCT Deployment Guide (DU-10990-001), June 2022. This file reformats that guide for reading in the roadmap. For flashing behavior on your exact JetPack line, cross-check the Jetson Linux Developer Guide for your release.
What BCT is: Platform data consumed at boot. BootROM and MB1 use BCT in binary form. On T23x, inputs are Device Tree Source (.dtsi) files parsed by tegrabct_v2 (older releases used parameter = value text).
Reading tips
Chapters map to separate .dtsi fragments under hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x/<platform>/bct/ (paths in the original doc).
Many sections show NEW DTS vs OLD CFG so you can relate spreadsheet / legacy output to DTS.
Long tables and code are still dense; use your editor outline (headings below) to jump.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Boot Configuration Table (BCT) is a set of platform-specific configuration data that is
consumed by a boot component. BootROM and MB1 consume BCT in binary form, which is
generated by parsing device tree source configuration files (with dts file extension) by
tegrabct_v2.
Starting from T23x, the config file format has changed from legacy =
to the Device Tree Source (DTS) format for following reasons:
- DTS format supports recursive inclusion and the overriding of properties though inclusion.
- DTC can convert DTS/DTSI to DTB, which is essentially tree-like format and is easier to
parse compared to the current config file format.
1.1 BR-BCT
BR-BCT is loaded by BootROM from storage in coldboot and by MB1 in recovery mode. The
primary consumer of this BCT is BootROM, but some fields are also consumed by MB1 and
CPU-BL.
1.2 MB1-BCT
MB1 BCT is loaded by MB1 from storage (in coldboot mode) or over USB (in RCM mode). It is
primarily consumed by MB1 and is constructed out of the following multiple configuration
files:
- “Pinmux and GPIO Configuration” on page 3
- “Common Prod Configuration" on page 7
- “Controller Prod Configuration” on page 9
- “Pad Voltage Binding” on page 12
- “PMIC Configuration" on page 14
- “Storage Device Configuration" on page 27
- “UPHY Lane Configuration” on page 33
- “OEM FW Ratchet Configuration” on page 37
- “BootROM Reset PMIC Configuration” on page 37
- “Miscellaneous Configuration” on page 43
1.3 Mem-BCT
MemBCT is like MB1-BCT in terms of loading and usage. However, it primarily contains
SDRAM parameters that are used to initialize MC and EMC. Refer to SDRAM Configuration for
more information.
1.4 MB2-BCT
MB2 BCT is loaded by MB1 from storage (in coldboot mode) or over USB (in RCM mode). It is
primarily consumed by MB2.
It is constructed out of multiple configuration files as listed below:
- GPIO Interrupt Mapping Configuration
- Security Configuration
- MB2 BCT Misc Configuration
Chapter 2. Pinmux and GPIO Configuration
The pinmux configuration file provides pinmux and GPIO configuration. Pinmux and GPIO
configuration is generated using pinmux spreadsheet.
The stark contrast in the New DTS format with respect to old legacy format is because of the
pinmux sheet output.
The pinmux DTS file are kept in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/ directory.

Chapter 3. Common Prod Configuration
The prod configurations are the system characterized values of interface and controller
settings, which are required for the given interface to work reliably for a platform. The prod
configuration are set separately at controller and pinmux/pad levels. This file contains the
common pinmux/pad level prod settings.
Required properties:
- addr-value-data: List of
For each such entry in the prod configuration file, MB1 reads the data from the specified
address, modifies the data based on mask and value, and writes the data back to the address.
val = read(address)
val = (val & ~mask) | (value & mask); write(val, address);
The common prod DTS file are kept in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/ directory.

Chapter 4. Controller Prod Configuration
The prod configurations are the system characterized values of interface and controller
settings, which are required for the given interface to work reliably for a platform. The prod
configuration are set separately at controller and pinmux/pad levels. This file contains the
controller level prod settings.
The DTS configuration file is of the following form:
/ {
deviceprod {
-
= <&Label>;
prod-cells = ;
: @ {
{
prod = < >;
};
};
};
};
where:
- Instance is controller instance id
- Label is the label assigned to the node which can be referenced for mapping instance to a
node
- is predefined module name (sdmmc, qspi, se, i2c)
- is base address of the controller
- is controller mode for which the prod setting needs to be applied (e.g. default,
hs400, etc)
- is the register address offset from base address of the
controller/instance
- is the mask value (4 bytes, unsigned)
- is the data value (4 bytes, unsigned)
- N specifies how many entries are there on prod setting tuples per configurations.
if #prod-cells == 3, there are three entries per prod configuration (address _offset,
mask, and value).
The legacy config format used device instance .
instead of using the base address of the device. The legacy format keeps one byte to store the
instance, but new DTS format has a base address, which requires four bytes in the BCT. As a
result, some of the fields in the BCT structure have to be shifted accordingly.
For each entry in the prod configuration file, MB1 reads data from the specified address,
modifies the data based on the mask and value, and the data back to the address.
val = read(address)
val = (val & ~mask) | (value
& mask); write(val,
address);
The common prod configuration file is in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/ directory.

Chapter 5. Pad Voltage Binding
Tegra pins and pads are designed to support multiple voltage levels at an interface. They can
operate at 1.2 volts (V), 1.8 V or 3.3 V. Based on the interface and power tree of a given
platform, the software must write to the correct voltage of these pads to enable interface. If
pad voltage is higher than the I/O power rail, the pin does not work on that level. If pad voltage
is lower than the I/O power rail, it can damage the SoC pads. Consequently, configuring the
correct pad voltage is required, and this configuration is based on the power tree.
The Pad voltage DTSI is generated using pinmux spread sheet.
The prod configuration files are kept in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/ directory. The contrast in the
New DTS format is because of the pinmux sheet output.

Chapter 6. PMIC Configuration
During system boot, MB1 enables system power rails for CPU, CORE, DRAM and completes
some system PMIC configurations. Here is a list of the typical configurations:
- Enabling rails
- Setting rail voltages
- FPS configurations
Enabling and setting of voltages of rails might require following platform-specific
configurations:
- I2C commands to devices
- PWM commands to devices
- MMIO accesses to Tegra registers, either read-modify-write or write-only
- Delay after the commands
The entries in PMIC configuration files are either common or rail-specific.
6.1 Common Configuration
The common configuration parameters are applicable to all rails. Each PMIC common
configuration is of the following form:
/ {
pmic {
= ;
};
};
where:
- is one of the following:
Description
rail-count Number of rails in the configuration file.
command-retries-count The number of allowed command attempts.
wait-before-start-bus-clearus
Wait timeout, in microseconds before issuing the bus clear
command. The wait time is calculated as 1 << n microseconds
where n is provided by this parameter.
6.2 Rail-Specific Configuration
The rail-specific configuration are divided into blocks.
- Each rail can have one or more blocks.
- Each block can have only one type of commands (I2C, PWM, or MMIO).
Each PMIC rail-specific configuration is of the following form:
/ {
pmic {
{
block@ {
= ;
};
};
};
};
where:
- identifies the rail and is one of the following:
Name Description
system System PMIC configuration
cpu / cpu0 CPU rail configuration
cpu1 CPU rail configuration
core Core/SOC rail configuration
memio DRAM related rail configuration
thermal External thermal sensor configuration
Name Description
platform Platform's other I2C configuration
- block- The rail specific commands are divided into blocks.
Each rail can have multiple blocks. Each block of given rails indexed starting from 0.
- is one of the following:
Description
Type of commands in the block. Valid properties are i2c-controller,
pwm or
mmio.
commands {
{
command@N {
reg-addr = ; mask = ;
value = ;
};
};
};
node is the logical command group name and it is
OPTIONAL. N is the sequential number for the command starting from
0. MMIO or I2C commands (based on
Type of command type) block Description
mmio MMIO command (valid only if
block has mmio property),
where,

facilitate
read-modify-write operation.
value written into
the register
i2c-controller I2c command, where
is the I2c slave
register address, and
is I2C slave mask that
is applied to the value read
Description
I2C parameter (valid only if block has i2c- controller property), which
is one of the following:
pwm PWM parameter (valid only if block has pwm property), which is one
of the following:
Description
controller-id PWM controller instance (0-7)
source-frq-hz PWM clock source frequency (in
Hz)
period-ns PWM time period (in
nanoseconds)
min-microvolts Vout from PWM regulator if duty
cycle is 0
max-microvolts Vout from PWM regulator if duty
cycle is 100
init-microvolts Vout from PWM regulator after
initialization
enable 0 (just configure PWM, do
not enable);
1 (enable PWM after
configuring)
### 6.3 Relative Order of Execution of the
PMIC Configuration by MB1
Apart from the order and point in boot in which the different rail configurations are executed,
there is no difference in how MB1 treats each of these configurations. Depending on the
platform, some of these configurations might be optional. Therefore, MB1 treats all
configurations as optional and prints only a warning when a configuration is not provided in the
MB1-BCT.
Description
block-delay Delay (in microseconds), after
each command in the block.
is the block index
(starting from 0).
i2c-controller-id I2C controller instance
slave-addr 7-bit I2C slave address
reg-data-size Register size in bits. Valid values
are 0(1-byte), 8(1-byte) and
16(2-byte)
reg-addr-size Register address size in bits.
Valid values are 0(1-byte)
These sequences are executed in the following order by MB1:
1. External thermal sensor configuration.
2. Generic PMIC configuration.
3. SOC rail configuration.
4. DRAM related rail configuration.
5. DRAM initialization.
6. CPU rail configuration.
7. Loading CPU related microcode and enabling CPUs.
8. Platform's other I2C configuration.
The PMIC configuration files are kept in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/ directory.

## Chapter 8. UPHY Lane Configuration
UPHY lanes can be configured to be owned by various IPs such as XUSB, NVME, MPHY, PCIE,
NVLINK, and so on. MB1 supports NVME, UFS as boot devices for the UPHY lanes that need to
be configured to access the storage in MB1 and MB2. This file defines the UPHY lane
configuration that is necessary for MB1.
In T23x, BPMP-FW is loaded by MB1 and MB2 relies on BPMP-FW for UPHY configuration.
Each entry in the configuration file is of the following form:
/ {
uphy-lane {
{
lane-owner-map = < >,
< >;
};
};
};
Where:
- is the type of UPHY which needs to be configured, it can be hsio or nvhs
- is either lane or pll which needs to be configured
- is the lane/pll number which needs to be configured
- is the unique id of the owner to which lane/pll will be assigned
The UPHY lane configurations are kept in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/ directory.

## Chapter 9. OEM FW Ratchet Configuration
Roll-back prevention for oem-fw is controlled through the OEM-FW Ratchet configuration.
Ratcheting is when older version of software is precluded from loading. The ratchet version of
a software is incremented after fixing the security bugs, and this version is compared to the
version stored in the Boot Component Header(BCH) of the software before loading. This file
defines the minimum ratchet level for OEM-FW components. If the version in BCH is lower
than the minimum ratchet level in BCT, the binary/firmware will not be loaded.
Each entry in the config file is of the following form:
/dts-v1/;
/ {
ratchet {
{
= < >;
= < >;
};
{
= < >;
};
};
};
Where:
- is the unique index for each oem-fw.
- is the name of the Boot Stage binary, which loads the firmware that
corresponds to fw_index.
- is the name of the firmware.
- is the ratchet_value for the firmware.
The ratchet configuration file is in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/ratchet directory.

## Chapter 10. BootROM Reset PMIC Configuration
For some T23x platforms, in L1 and L2 reset boot paths, BootROM might be required to bring PMIC rails to
OTP values. This process is completed by issuing I2C commands, which are encoded in AO scratch
registers by MB1 and are based on the BootROM reset configuration in MB1 BCT.
- The reset cases where the BootROM issues these commands includes:
- Watchdog 5 expiry
- Watchdog 4 expiry
- SC7 exit
- SC8 exit
- SW-Reset
- AO-Tag/sensor reset
- VF Sensor reset
- HSM reset
- Each reset case can have three sets of AO blocks of commands.
- Each AO block has multiple blocks, and each block can have multiple commands.
In the configuration file, AO blocks are specified first, and then the reset conditions are initialized by using
the ID of the AO blocks.
### 10.1 Specifying AO Blocks
Each AO block-related line in the configuration file is of the following format:
{
- = <&AoBlock-Label>
reset {
: aoblock@ {
= ;
...
block@ {
= ;
};
};
: aoblock@ {
...
}
};
};
Node Description
-
<&AoBlock-Label> • specifies the reset type and
must have one of the values,
watchdog5, watchdog4, sc7,sc8,
soft-reset, sensor-aotag,
vfsensor, or hsm.
- is the index of the
AO command and can have values 0, 1 or 2.
Each reset path can point to maxi- mum
three aoblocks
- is the label given to
one of the Ao Blocks
aoblock@
command-retries-count Specifies the number of command attempts
allowed for AO-block with
delay-between-command-us Specifies the delay (in microseconds), in
between different commands.
The delay is calculated as 1 << n
microseconds where n is provided by this
parameter.
wait-before-start-bus-clear-us Specifies the wait timeout (in microseconds),
before issuing the bus clear command for
given AO block.
The wait time is calculated as 1 << n
microseconds where n is provided by this
parameter.
block@ /td> can only be one
value - i2c-controller. That is the only one
supported
count Specifies the number of commands in the
block .
i2c-controller-id I2C controller instance
slave-addr 7-bit I2C slave address
reg-data-size Register size in bits. Valid values are 0(1-byte),
8(1-byte) and 16(2-byte),
reg-addr-size Register address size in bits. Valid values are
0(1-byte), 8(1-byte) and 16(2-byte)
Node Description
commands List of pairs where value
to be written to the I2c slave register address

#### 11.1.4 Carveout Configuration
Although “SDRAM Configuration” on page 59 has MC carveout's preferred base, size and permissions, it
does not have all information required to allocate the carveouts by MB1. This additional information is
specified using miscellaneous configuration file.
For carveouts that are not protected by MC, all information, including size and preferred base address, is
specified by using the miscellaneous configuration file.
Each MC carveout configuration parameter is of the following form:
/ {
misc {
carveout {
{
= ;
};
};
};
};
where:
- identifies the carveout and is one of the following:
carveouttype

11.1.8.1 MB1 Soft Fuse Configurations
There are certain platform-specific configurations or decisions in MB1 that are required before th estorage
is initialized and MB1-BCT is read (for example, debug port details, certain boot-mode controls, behavior in
case of failure, and so on.). To address this requirement, an array of 64 fields has been added to signed
section of BR-BCT that is opaque to BR and will be consumed by MB1. In recovery mode, BR does not read
BR-BCT, so this array is kept part of RCM message and is copied by BR to the location that BR would have
kept it in coldboot as part of BR-BCT. This array is called MB1 software fuses (soft-fuses).

## Chapter 12. SDRAM Configuration
DTS format for SDRAM configuration:
/
{
sdram {
mem_cfg_: mem-cfg@ {
= ;
};
};
};
&mem_cfg_ {
#include " "
};
where
- is number starting from 0 representing different memory configurations
- is the SDRAM parameter. Usually, this corresponds to MC/EMC register.
- is the 32bit value of the corresponding register.
- is override file for SDRAM parameters which will be applied to all the configs
Format of override dts will be:
= ; // example McVideoProtectBom = <0x00000000>;
Memory/MSS HW team will use a tool provided by SW to convert legacy configuration format to above DTS
format.

## Chapter 13. GPIO Interrupt Mapping Configuration
To reduce the interrupt hunt time for GPIO pins from single ISR, in T23x, each GPO controller has 8
interrupt lines to LIC. This gives opportunity to map the GPIO pin to any of 8 interrupts. The configuration for
the same is specified in the GPIO interrupt configuration file.
Each entry in this configuration file is in the following form:
gpio-intmap {
port@ {
pin--int-line = ;
};
port@ {
pin--int-line = ;
};
};
where:
- is the port name like A, B, C..Z, AA, BB
- is the pin id in the port. Valid values are 0-7.
- is interrupt route for that pin. Valid values are 0-7.
The gpio-interrupt mapping configuration file are kept at hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x//bct/
NEW DTS example of GPIO interrupt mapping configuration file:
/dts-v1/;
/ {
gpio-intmap {
port@B {
pin-1-int-line = <0>; // GPIO B1 to INT0
};
port@AA {
pin-0-int-line = <0>; // GPIO
AA0 to INT0 pin-1-int-line =
<0>; // GPIO AA1 to INT0 pin-2-
int-line = <0>; // GPIO AA2 to
INT0
};
};
};
OLD CFG format
gpio-intmap.port.B.pin.1 = 0; // GPIO
B1 to INT0 gpio-intmap.port.AA.pin.0 =
0; // GPIO AA0 to INT0 gpiointmap.port.AA.pin.1 = 0; // GPIO AA1
to INT0 gpio-intmap.port.AA.pin.2 = 0;
// GPIO AA2 to INT0
## Chapter 14. MB2 BCT Misc Configuration
### 14.1 MB2 Feature Fields
These feature bits are boolean flags that enable or disable certain functionality in MB2.
Field Description
disable-cpu-l2ecc If this property is present CPU L2 ECC is disabled. Otherwise, it is enabled.
enable-combineduart
If this property is present combined uart is enabled
Otherwise, it is disabled.
spe-uart-instance UART controller used for combined UART by SPE.
### 14.2 MB2 Firmware Data
Mb2 firmware configuration is specified as:
/ {
mb2-misc {
{
= ;
};
};
};
Where firmware type is one of the cpubl, ape-fw, bpmp-fw, rce-fw, sce-fw, camera-taskfw, apr-fw.
is one of the parameters from below table.
Parameters Description
enable Enable loading of firmware from MB2, if this property is present Otherwise disable
loading of firmware from MB2.
ast-va Virtual address for firmware carveout in BPMP-R5 address-space.
load-offset Offset in firmware carveout where firmware binary is loaded.
entry-offset Offset of firmware entry point in firmware carveout.
Example of an Mb2 misc DTS configuration file:
/dts-v1/;
/ {
mb2-misc {
disable-cpul2ecc; enable-combined-uart;
spe-uart-instance = <0x2>;
firmware {
sce {
ast-va = <0x70000000>;
};
ape {
enable;
ast-va = <0x80000000>;
};
rce {
enable;
ast-va = <0x70000000>;
};
cpubl {
load-offset = <0x600000>;
};
apr {
ast-va = <0xC0000000>;
};
camera-task {
ast-va = <0x78000000>;
};
};
};
};
## Chapter 15. Security Configuration
MB1 and MB2 program most of the SCRs and firewalls in T23x. The list of SCRs/firewalls,
their order, and their addresses is predetermined. The values are taken from the SCR
configuration file.
Each entry in this configuration file is in the following form:
/ {
scr {
reg@ {
= ;
};
};
};
where:
- is the index of the SCR/firewall in the predefined list
- and its can be as follows:
Parameter Value
exclusion-info Exclusion info is a bit field defined as follows
Bit Description
0 Do not program in coldboot or SC7-exit
1 Program in coldboot, but skip in SC7-exit
2 Program at end of MB2, instead of MB1
value 32 bit value for the SCR register
Note: The values of the SCRs are programmed in increasing order of indexes and not in the
order they appear in the configuration file. The scr/firewalls which are not specified in the
configuration file are locked without restricting the access to the protected registers.
The scr configuration files are kept in the
hardware/nvidia/platform/t23x/common/bct/scr directory.
NEW DTS format example of SCR config file:
/dts-v1/;
/ {
scr {
reg@161 {
exclusion-info = <7>;
value = <0x3f008080>;
};
reg@162 {
exclusion-info = <4>;
value = <0x18000303>;
};
reg@163 {
exclusion-info = <4>;
value = <0x18000303>;
};
};
};
OLD CFG format
scr.161.7 = 0x3f008080; //
TKE_AON_SCR_WDTSCR0_0 scr.162.4
= 0x18000303; //
DMAAPB_1_SCR_BR_INTR_SCR_0
scr.163.4 = 0x18000303; //
