Firmware components
The Juno ADP is supported by several pieces of firmware. These are preloaded on the V2M-Juno
motherboard or can be obtained as pre-built image bundles from the Linaro software releases.
They include:
V2M-Juno motherboard microcontroller (MCC) firmware
The V2M-Juno MCC is a microcontroller on the motherboard that takes care of early board
setup before the SCP or the application processors within the Juno SoC are powered on. The
MCC is also responsible for managing firmware updates by copying images into the on-board
flash memory.
System Control Processor (SCP) firmware
The SCP is a dedicated Cortex-M3 within the Juno SoC that provides low-level power
management and system control for the Juno platform. The SCP provides a messaging interface
to the application processors so that application firmware and software can make requests of it.
This interface is described in the
ARM

Compute Subsystem SCP Message Interface Protocols

ARM Trusted Firmware
ARM Trusted Firmware provides a reference implementation of Secure world software for
ARMv8-A, including Exception level 3 (EL3) software.
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
The Juno ADP implementation of UEFI provides operating system loader support and runtime
services. It is based on the EFI Development Kit 2 (EDK2) implementation available from the
Tianocore project at
U-Boot firmware
An alternative loader provided with certain pre-built Linaro image bundles that is used instead
of UEFI. The implementation is based on U-Boot from DENX.
Note
ARM strongly recommends that you immediately upgrade to the latest available firmware before using
the V2M-Juno motherboard.
