配置 ​

implemented

硬件与依赖 ​

  • SM8550 profile, iPadOS 17.7.11 build 21H461, device defconfig, pinned component sources.

配置 ​

  • board.soc_source = sm8550; board.os_profile = ipados-17.7.11-21H461; schema_version = 2.
  • The device owns ShengUfs, ShengHidInput, ShengNovatekTouch and ShengPreflight submodules.

操作步骤 ​

开发经验 ​

  • Tables merge in ARM64, SoC, OS, device order. Arrays replace inherited selections, so include every required component and fragment.
  • The selected defconfig applies after the explicit configuration fragments. Keep OS ABI and IPSW pins in the OS profile.
  • board.toml names the model J120AP, the Apple board of the iPadOS identity, and its kernel arguments enable Wi-Fi (sheng-wifi=5) and the CPU and GPU governors.

完成条件 ​

  • All source pins resolve; every selected component has a record; status shows the intended overrides and patch order.

当前范围 ​

  • Local overrides can select a different source from the published pin; record the effective source in each verification result.

下一步 ​

  • Compare the effective status output whenever a profile, source or component selection changes.

证据 ​

固件与启动 ​

implemented

组件: ShengPreflight.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • uefi-sheng firmware, stock firmware DTB, GOP handoff, PSCI SMC interface and vendor firmware inventory.

配置 ​

  • firmware.dsc = Platforms/Xiaomi/shengPkg/sheng.dsc; firmware.config = sheng.
  • proprietary-files.txt records input paths and provenance.
  • The firmware DSC and FDF embed UniXNU, UniXNUDxe, DarwinBoot, UniXNURamDiskDxe, DiskIoDxe and FAT support.

操作步骤 ​

  • Run ./unixnu build firmware -D ../UniXNU-sheng --uefi ../uefi-sheng.
  • Record the firmware commit, output FD and handoff memory map before a boot attempt.
  • Build the payload, then run ./unixnu bootimg with the firmware DTB. Inspect boot.json ramdisk_bytes and the required firmware modules.

开发经验 ​

  • The firmware DTB is an input to boot-image assembly. XNU consumes the separately generated ADT.
  • The sheng preflight component belongs with board integration and its firmware requirements.
  • The shared UniXNURamDiskDxe reads the Mu-Silicium entry-argument HOB and FDT initrd range to publish the payload block device. ShengBootMemoryDxe owns memory expansion.
  • Configured menu entries require a payload FAT filesystem containing EFI/UniXNU/unixnu.toml. Check the UNIXNURAMDISK initrd block-device status when entries are absent.

完成条件 ​

  • Firmware image builds, enters UniXNU, publishes the framebuffer and preserves the documented memory reservations.

当前范围 ​

  • Boot-image assembly requires the selected firmware DTB and proprietary input files.

下一步 ​

  • Capture firmware revision and memory reservations with the next image verification.

证据 ​

CPU 与中断 ​

implemented

组件: ArmCpu, ArmDTPlatform.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • SM8550 CPU affinities, GIC distributor at 0x17100000, redistributors at 0x17180000, 0x40000 stride and 19.2 MHz timer.
  • PSCI uses SMC. The board disables cpu1 and cpu2 in its DTS.

配置 ​

  • dts/sheng.dts includes sm8550.dtsi; shared CPU and interrupt definitions come from the SoC source.
  • Kernel arguments select sheng-smp=1 and armcpu-spi-ipi=1.

操作步骤 ​

  • Compile the board DTS and inspect enabled CPUs, GIC ranges and timer properties in the ADT.
  • Record per-CPU entry, timer interrupts and inter-processor interrupt delivery.

开发经验 ​

  • CPU affinity values are hardware identifiers. Enabled CPU count and MPIDR affinities must be checked together.
  • GIC register ranges must use translated physical addresses from the hardware tree.
  • XNU accepts work interval operations 6, 7 and 8 (interval start, update and finish) through patches/xnu/native-work-interval-instance.patch in UniXNU; without a performance controller they only succeed.

完成条件 ​

  • Every enabled CPU reaches its entry checkpoint and timer/IPI handling works on each enabled CPU.

当前范围 ​

  • CPU selection and frequency policy are board inputs; SoC topology describes all cores.

下一步 ​

  • Attach per-CPU and interrupt observations for the selected firmware and image.

证据 ​

内存与 DMA ​

implemented

硬件与依赖 ​

  • Handoff DRAM at 0x80000000 with size 0x80000000; splash reservation at 0xb8000000 with size 0x2b00000.
  • Payload owned-memory request is 0x130000000. Device DMA requires controller stream IDs, address widths and ownership.

配置 ​

  • device_tree.source = device:dts/sheng.dts; include_dirs = [soc:dts].
  • payload.adt.owned_memory_size and firmware reservations describe separate allocations.

操作步骤 ​

  • Compare firmware RAM ranges, reserved regions, DTS ranges and ADT memory-map entries.
  • Check DMA buffers against controller address width, cache policy and SMMU mapping before submitting work.

开发经验 ​

  • Physical register translation and CPU virtual mappings have different purposes. Preserve physical resource ranges in hardware descriptions.
  • GPU and UFS use different SMMU instances and stream assignments.

完成条件 ​

  • All handoff regions are accounted for and each enabled DMA engine accesses its allocated range with the documented cache policy.

当前范围 ​

  • The DTS declares the current handoff window and splash region; memory sizing requires the selected firmware map.

下一步 ​

  • Record the firmware memory map and each DMA consumer when changing reserved memory.

证据 ​

存储与根卷 ​

implemented

组件: ShengUfs, VirtioMmioBlock, RamBlock, VerifiedRoot.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • UFS host 0x01d84000/0x3000; PHY 0x01d80000/0x2000; GCC base 0x00100000.
  • GCC AXI, AHB, UniPro, symbol and PHY auxiliary branches; power domains and firmware link state.
  • Apps SMMU at 0x15000000, UFS stream 0x60, context-bank ownership, DMA width and cache maintenance.
  • LUN 0 uses 4096-byte blocks; userdata spans LBAs 3094592 through 64007162.

配置 ​

  • Select ShengUfs and CONFIG_XNU_NATIVE_UFS=y; native-ufs-root=1 enables the root path.
  • userdata defines OS and SystemOS windows. payload.adt.root_match_volume_uuid = 04769D26-2CA0-4825-B443-E2E5F88300F2.

操作步骤 ​

  • Read https://unixnu.com/porting/ufs with this storage record.
  • Inspect clock enables, power state, HCE/HCS, link state, request-list base and SMMU mappings before changing controller ownership.
  • Validate SCSI capacity and GPT reads, then publish root windows and mount the configured root UUID.
  • Verify persistent Data writes on the documented Data allocation with a recovery image available.

开发经验 ​

  • An idle AHB branch may report CLK_OFF with hardware gating enabled. Check enable and gating bits together.
  • SMMU bypass still has address-width constraints. Validate every DMA range and context-bank assignment.
  • ShengUfs contains controller access, GPT/window parsing and sheng Data/log policy. Reuse each layer according to its inputs.

完成条件 ​

  • Host: register, clock, link and SMMU facts match the board inventory.
  • Reads: SCSI capacity, GPT and known blocks are correct; OS/SystemOS windows stay within userdata.
  • Root: the configured volume mounts and launchd starts. Persistence: writes survive reboot within the allocated Data region.

当前范围 ​

  • The SoC DTSI exports host and PHY ranges. GCC and UFS SMMU handling currently use constants and operations in ShengUfs.
  • The root transport uses a polled request slot. Its firmware adoption path requires a usable existing request list.

下一步 ​

  • Record clock/PHY/reset initialization ownership and the SMMU stream before adapting this driver to another board.

证据 ​

显示 ​

implemented

组件: GopFramebuffer.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • UEFI GOP framebuffer, stride, pixel format, splash reservation and board panel/backlight controls.

配置 ​

  • Select GopFramebuffer; CONFIG_XNU_NATIVE_LEGACY_DISPLAY=y; artwork-display-gamut = sRGB.
  • sheng-vsync=120 requests board display timing.

操作步骤 ​

  • Verify GOP address, dimensions, stride and pixel layout before enabling presentation.
  • Build the late display archive with the selected OS ABI records, then check display publication and frame presentation.

开发经验 ​

  • The display source and ABI binding are selected independently from the physical panel configuration.
  • The board configuration declares sRGB for the current 8-bit framebuffer path.
  • scripts/build-gop-legacy-display.py also builds the board driver objects in the display archive, including the ADSP, IPC router, FAT reader and battery manager.
  • The GENI I2C core also moves 1 to 8 byte writes and 1 to 4 byte reads (the audio amplifiers use 32-bit registers); the backlight keeps its 8-bit transfers.

完成条件 ​

  • A known frame appears with correct geometry and colors, then userland presentation and backlight controls work.

当前范围 ​

  • The late display builder needs qualified prelink candidates and ABI records. A timing request requires a measured presentation result.

下一步 ​

  • Record frame timing, pixel format and presentation evidence for each image used to qualify display.

证据 ​

输入 ​

implemented

组件: ShengHidInput, ShengNovatekTouch, QcomGeniSpi.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • Novatek NT36532 sensor, GENI SPI controller, pin configuration, reset/interrupt lines, firmware and touch coordinate geometry.

配置 ​

  • Select ShengHidInput, ShengNovatekTouch and QcomGeniSpi; sheng-touch=4 and sheng-touch-hid=1 select board integration.

操作步骤 ​

  • Read TouchBoard.h and verify the SPI clock and mode against the controller setup.
  • Validate protocol reports, contact tracking and coordinate orientation before publishing HID events.

开发经验 ​

  • Controller transfer logic, sensor protocol and board sensor geometry are separate inputs.
  • Track contact IDs across movement and lift events; a register read alone covers only transport access.
  • sheng_buttons_press() holds a button mask for a given time through the HID sink, for unattended tests (the audio lock sound test uses it).

完成条件 ​

  • Touches map to the display, simultaneous contacts keep stable IDs, release events arrive, and buttons produce expected HID reports.

当前范围 ​

  • Sensor firmware and board dimensions remain sheng inputs.

下一步 ​

  • Attach contact and orientation observations when firmware or geometry changes.

证据 ​

GPU ​

implemented

组件: Adreno740, AdrenoMetal, AirNir, Sm8550Platform, AdrenoPM4, AdrenoFirmware, ArmSmmu4K.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • A740 GPU/GMU registers, GPU SMMU streams 0/1 and GMU stream 5, signed ZAP firmware and board power votes.
  • Turnip, metal2vulkan, AIR translation and the selected OS GPU/Metal ABI.

配置 ​

  • Select Adreno740, AdrenoMetal and AirNir; shared SM8550 operations arrive through component dependencies.
  • Board scripts combine shared GMU code with package/ShengGmuVotes.c.

操作步骤 ​

  • Qualify power, firmware, SMMU and GMU startup before command submission.
  • Check memory mapping, command completion and a known rendered image before staging the Metal plugin.

开发经验 ​

  • GPU generation and the frontend ABI define component scope. Firmware, votes and display integration remain board inputs.
  • Shared platform code and board votes require separate include paths during archive assembly.
  • A frame is one submission of up to 128 IBs (24 at most observed). WPTR writes check the GMU AHB fence status; none were dropped. Jobs take about 5 ms against the client's 1 ms waits, so the stall handler's write-pointer and TLB recovery runs on ordinary jobs: mapping-time TLB invalidation did not change it.
  • The render server primes all 162 Metal libraries of the OS image while the desktop is idle (the PR log row). The payload carries the library list and a copy of the cryptex QuartzCore library. The idle desktop submits 6 command buffers per 250 ms at 120 Hz, so priming waits only above 8.

完成条件 ​

  • GPU submissions complete, mapping/fence handling is correct, a known image renders, and the selected Metal client presents it.

当前范围 ​

  • A740 coverage depends on the selected firmware and OS ABI; board qualification requires its own memory and power evidence.

下一步 ​

  • Record the exact firmware, compiler inputs, driver revision and rendered output for the next qualification.

证据 ​

网络 ​

implemented

组件: Ath12kWifi.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • Ath12k device on PCIe, BAR windows, MSI routing, DMA callbacks, firmware, MHI and QRTR services.

配置 ​

  • Select Ath12kWifi. build-gop-legacy-display.py compiles its objects through build-ath12k-wifi.py.
  • board.toml sets sheng-wifi=5 in the kernel arguments; WifiProbe and the UFS driver read it.

操作步骤 ​

  • Verify PCIe enumeration and MSI delivery before MHI startup.
  • Record firmware startup, scan, association, address configuration and bidirectional packet delivery separately.

开发经验 ​

  • The reusable Wi-Fi stack consumes board callbacks; PCIe and the OS network interface are owned by the device integration.
  • MHI startup and network traffic are separate completion points.

完成条件 ​

  • Scanning, association, address configuration and sustained receive/transmit traffic pass with the selected firmware.

当前范围 ​

  • The source implements the station path through WifiNet.cpp and board PCIe integration. Device evidence must identify the firmware and access point.

下一步 ​

  • Attach association and receive/transmit observations for the current firmware and image.

证据 ​

音频 ​

implemented

硬件与依赖 ​

  • ADSP firmware from modem_a, SMEM, SMP2P, GLINK, the GPR channel adsp_apps.
  • Speakers: six CS35L43 amplifiers on QUP1 SE5 and QUP2 SE0 (I2C 0x40 to 0x42), shared reset gpio90, secondary MI2S (gpio121 to 124).
  • Microphones: WCD938x codec on the TX SoundWire master (0x6d30000), reset gpio108, supply ldob15; TX and VA macros.

配置 ​

  • sheng-audio takes bits (sheng-adsp=2 is required): any nonzero value serves the audio service, 2 plays a 1.5 s 750 Hz test tone at boot, 4 brings up the microphone path and reads two seconds of capture, 8 runs the lock sound test.
  • sheng-audio-pa moves the DSP period buffer (default 0xd0000000); sheng-audio-tone-ms and sheng-audio-atten set the tone.
  • The payload addon carries hal/ShengAudio.driver under audio/; patches/xnu/zzyd-sheng-audio-addon-mount.patch mounts it over /System/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL. Its CDHash joins the owner trust cache.

操作步骤 ​

  • Read the [audio], [amps], [audio-glink], [audio-buffer], [mic], [mic regs] and [mic capture] log lines with scripts/read-sheng-log.py.
  • Read [audio-props], [audio-service], [audio-io], [audio-thread], [audio-clock], [audio-requests] and [audio-sync] for the iOS path: the plug-in's volume and peak, late and silent periods, write-ahead and read-behind, IO cycle intervals, clock skew, the audio server's IO thread scheduling and host clock, and the plug-in's last start and stop requests.
  • Run scripts/check-audioreach-host.py, scripts/check-cs35l43-host.py and scripts/check-geni-i2c-host.py after changing the codecs.

开发经验 ​

  • The ADSP image loads in place from the split adsp and adsp_dtb files in /image of the modem_a FAT volume.
  • The DSP offers 24 intents of 128 bytes on adsp_apps and grants a 4 KiB one on request; the GLINK remote intent table keeps it.
  • The amplifiers play ASP RX1 directly (DSP bypassed, no amplifier firmware): top three slot 0, bottom three slot 1, gain 18 dB, 16-bit I2S at 48 kHz from the SoC as clock master.
  • The DSP takes buffers as a 32-bit address with the stream index (0x1001 & 0xf) in the upper word. The period buffer is low DRAM outside the kernel's window, mapped write-combined; the audio streams stay in SMMU pass-through.
  • Programming a translating SMMU context for the audio streams resets the board; the hypervisor keeps those context banks.
  • PRM commands go from the PRM port (2) and use PRM clock ids: the TX core clock is 0x30c. The macro and digital codec votes make the LPASS registers accessible.
  • The VA macro gates the TX SoundWire master's clock on SM8550; with its gate and the TX macro's on, the link comes up and the codec enumerates as device 1.
  • The primary microphone is AMIC3 on micbias 3 into ADC2, codec data port 1 channel 2, master port 2, TX decimator 0 from SWR_MIC1 and codec DMA TX3, mono 48 kHz.
  • iOS sees the plug-in device only with the Thunderbolt transport type: VirtualAudio makes it a driver device with one output and one input port. Built-in devices need Apple port descriptions, and a USB device needs a location the audio server does not take from a plug-in.
  • The plug-in and the service share one timeline anchored at boot on the 19.2 MHz host timer (400 ticks per frame, computed in 128-bit). Playback and capture rings hold 65536 frames; the service takes 480-frame periods and keeps four in flight.
  • The DSP answers a playback buffer once it has copied it, so the steady lead is measured per run (about 1600 to 2000 frames) and the published lead is at least 300 ms.
  • Capture answers carry a byte count and an offset; only those bytes are taken, and a short period is normal.
  • CoreAudio takes the host clock to be 24 MHz (one constant behind AudioGetHostClockFrequency). The plug-in finds that constant and the service sets it to 19.2 MHz on its shared page; without it the audio server's IO cycles ran 25 percent long and playback and recording stuttered.
  • The zero time stamps start at the frame IO starts on, every 65536 frames, with the raw clock algorithm. A period under the safety offset stops the audio server's IO.
  • The audio server's IO thread runs with a time constraint (priority 97, period 409600 ticks, computation 204800).

完成条件 ​

  • Each declared route carries the selected audio format through playback or capture and handles start/stop correctly.

当前范围 ​

  • Playback sounds harsh in places; no speaker equalization or protection runs.

下一步 ​

  • Qualify iOS playback and capture across apps and routes, then add speaker equalization and protection.

证据 ​

电源 ​

implemented

组件: AppleKeyStoreState.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • Board PMGR integration, clocks/regulators and per-peripheral power requirements.
  • ADSP battery manager: PMIC GLINK owner 32778 on PMIC_RTR_ADSP_APPS; board properties use opcode 0x50; fuel gauges 0x8a/0x8b and 0xa6/0xa7.

配置 ​

  • CONFIG_XNU_SHENG_PMGR=y; sheng-pmgr=2 selects the board integration.
  • AppleKeyStoreState is selected with the OS event integration.
  • sheng-adsp=2 publishes the battery as an IOPMPowerSource; sheng-battery=0 leaves it off.
  • sheng-usb-sdp-ma sets the input limit on a standard computer port (default 900; 0 keeps the firmware limit).
  • sheng-cpufreq=4 scales the CPU domains with load (sheng-cpufreq-min sets a floor in MHz); sheng-cpufreq=3 fixes the highest non-turbo level.
  • sheng-gpu-dcvs=1 scales the GPU clock with its busy time (sheng-gpu-dcvs-min sets the floor level, default 3); sheng-gpu-perf fixes a level instead.

操作步骤 ​

  • Document each clock, regulator and firmware-owned state before enabling power transitions.
  • Check battery units and update behavior separately from suspend/resume and peripheral power.
  • Read the [battery], [battery-raw] and [charger] log lines with scripts/read-sheng-log.py.

开发经验 ​

  • The ADSP firmware runs charging and PD/PPS negotiation without host requests.
  • Battery properties after 11 are shifted by one: charge current 12, temperature 13, charge counter 15, cycles 16, design 17, full 18, time to full 20, time to empty 21.
  • Charge is the sum of both fuel gauges' remaining over full capacity. Battery current is reported discharge-positive.
  • USB property 6 reads SDP on every port. Property 7 carries the adapter type (6 PD, 8 PD PPS).
  • A PPS adapter gets a 3 A input limit at about 8.7 V; the battery charges at the 2000 mA charge current with the charge pump off.
  • Both cells and the PD adapter read unauthenticated.
  • A Mac USB-C port negotiates PD 5 V with a 1.2 A input limit: about 1.1 A in, and the battery gains 0.25 to 0.4 A on the desktop.
  • Power policy belongs to the board even when controller operations are shared.
  • The GPU power probe hands the ring its register window without a GMU fence callback: only the GPU service checks fenced WPTR writes.
  • The CPU governor reads each CPU idle time through patches/xnu/zzye-sheng-cpu-idle.patch. Domain 0 holds the parked boot core and stays at its top level.
  • The GPU governor reads the GMU XO busy counter and votes over HFI with the level bandwidth.

完成条件 ​

  • Declared power controls and battery readings match observations; each claimed sleep/resume transition restores its dependent peripherals.

当前范围 ​

  • Adapter details shown to iOS come from USB property 6, so every adapter reads as a computer port.
  • Charge current stays at 2 A without fuel gauge and adapter authentication.
  • A low-battery shutdown panics in vnode_rele_ext during unmount.
  • Per-peripheral controls and battery publication have separate coverage from system suspend.
  • The GPU governor changes level several times a second and spends most busy time at 680 MHz; its effect on frame times is not measured.

下一步 ​

  • Take adapter details from property 7.
  • Authenticate both fuel gauges, then qualify PPS charge pump charging; Xiaomi adapter authentication follows.

镜像组装 ​

implemented

组件: DarwinBoot, XnuPrelink, SoftwareAES.

硬件与依赖 ​

  • Prelinked kernel, hardware DTB, generated ADT, trust cache, Data seed, platform identity and firmware DTB.

配置 ​

  • Payload volume is 208 MiB. kernel.patch_series selects ARM64, SoC, OS and device series in order.

操作步骤 ​

  • Build kernel and package, then payload with --unique-chip-id and the selected trust-cache/Data inputs.
  • Run ./unixnu bootimg -D ../UniXNU-sheng --uefi ../uefi-sheng --dtb <firmware.dtb> and inspect the assembly report.

开发经验 ​

  • The OS boot-progress integration follows the SoC hooks in patch order.
  • The payload carries kernel.macho.adt; the boot image carries the firmware FDT. Keep the two inputs named explicitly.
  • The device patch series adds zzyd-sheng-audio-addon-mount.patch: the payload addon's audio directory is union-mounted over /System/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL (mount4 in the A log line).

完成条件 ​

  • Kernel and prelink succeed, payload contains all declared inputs, and the boot image matches the bootloader format and size limit.

当前范围 ​

  • Image output depends on the selected ABI audits, firmware and volume policy inputs.

下一步 ​

  • Attach artifact paths and exact source revisions to the next image build record.

证据 ​

诊断 ​

implemented

硬件与依赖 ​

  • Serial or framebuffer diagnostics, panic region, boot checkpoints and a recovery path.

配置 ​

  • boot-progress=2 enables checkpoints; source and image revisions accompany every log.

操作步骤 ​

  • Run the existing check for the changed area and keep its command, output and input revision.
  • Record the last completed checkpoint and the first failing operation; link the captured output.

开发经验 ​

  • A source implementation, a host check and a device observation establish different completion levels.
  • Keep an unresolved cause explicit and record the next measurement that can distinguish it.
  • The UFS log carries [adsp], [qrtr], [battery], [battery-raw] and [charger] lines for the DSP, the IPC router and the charger.
  • BatteryProbe starts the battery with sheng-adsp=2, so the [battery] and [charger] lines appear on every DSP image; a missing [battery] line on such an image means sheng-battery=0 or a failed start.
  • Host checks for the ADSP path: check-adsp-host.py, check-modem-fw-host.py, check-qrtr-host.py and check-battery-host.py.
  • The log carries [audio], [amps], [audio-glink], [audio-buffer], [mic] and [mic regs] for the audio path, and [gpu wptr] for fenced GPU write pointer writes.

完成条件 ​

  • Each claimed milestone has a reproducible command, a matching source/image revision and an accessible result.

当前范围 ​

  • Source references in this record describe implemented behavior. Host and device status require their respective evidence entries.

下一步 ​

  • Add captured host or device evidence when repeating a checkpoint on a known image.
