# UfsPlatformDxe Driver
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
Platform-specific UFS (Universal Flash Storage) host controller driver for Intel platforms, implementing critical performance optimizations that reduce boot time from **3 minutes to 15 seconds** (12x improvement). This source-based implementation replaces the previous binary `UfsPlatform.efi` with a clean, maintainable solution.
6+
7+
## Purpose
8+
9+
Implements the `EDKII_UFS_HC_PLATFORM_PROTOCOL` to provide Intel-specific UFS configuration during host controller initialization. The driver addresses gaps in the EDK2 UFS core driver by implementing:
10+
11+
1. **PA_LOCAL_TX_LCC_ENABLE Disable** - Essential for Intel UFS link initialization
12+
2. **Lane Activation** - Enables all connected UFS lanes for maximum bandwidth
13+
3. **High-Speed Recipe Programming** - Configures Data Link Layer timeouts and PHY settings for stable HS operation
14+
4. **Power Mode Switching** - Explicitly switches from PWM mode to High-Speed mode (HS-G3)
15+
16+
Without these optimizations, the UFS link operates in slow PWM mode, causing 3+ minute boot times on Intel platforms.
17+
18+
## Key Features
19+
20+
**12x Boot Performance** - Reduces boot time from 3 minutes to 15 seconds
21+
**Universal Intel Support** - Works across Alderlake, Meteor Lake platforms without device-specific quirks
22+
**Full Lane Utilization** - Activates all connected UFS lanes (typically 2x2 dual-lane)
23+
**HS-G3 Operation** - Achieves High-Speed Gear 3 on both RX and TX paths
24+
**EDK2 Best Practices** - Clean source implementation with proper phase timing and extensive debug logging
25+
**Gap Filling** - Implements critical functionality missing from EDK2 core UFS driver
26+
27+
## Implementation Details
28+
29+
### Protocol Callbacks
30+
31+
The driver executes optimizations at specific phases during UFS controller initialization:
32+
33+
| Phase | Action | Purpose |
34+
|-------|--------|---------|
35+
| `EdkiiUfsHcPreHce` | None | Not required for Intel platforms |
36+
| `EdkiiUfsHcPostHce` | **Disable PA_LOCAL_TX_LCC_ENABLE** | Disable Line Coding Control before link startup |
37+
| `EdkiiUfsHcPreLinkStartup` | None | LCC disable moved to PostHce for proper timing |
38+
| `EdkiiUfsHcPostLinkStartup` | **1. Validate lanes**<br>**2. Activate all lanes**<br>**3. Program HS Recipe**<br>**4. Switch to HS mode** | Enable dual-lane operation, configure HS parameters, switch from PWM to Fast mode |
39+
40+
### Key Optimizations
41+
42+
#### 1. PA_LOCAL_TX_LCC_ENABLE Disable (PostHce)
43+
- **Attribute**: `PA_LOCAL_TX_LCC_ENABLE` (UniPro 0x155E)
44+
- **Action**: Set to 0 (disabled)
45+
- **Timing**: After HCE enable, before link startup
46+
- **Purpose**: Intel UFS controllers require LCC disabled for stable link initialization
47+
48+
#### 2. Lane Activation (PostLinkStartup)
49+
- **Attributes**: `PA_ACTIVE_TX_DATA_LANES`, `PA_ACTIVE_RX_DATA_LANES`
50+
- **Action**: Activate all physically connected lanes (typically 2 lanes)
51+
- **Impact**: Doubles bandwidth on dual-lane systems
52+
- **Detection**: Queries `PA_CONNECTED_*_LANES` to determine available lanes
53+
54+
#### 3. High-Speed Recipe Programming (PostLinkStartup)
55+
- **Data Link Layer Timeouts**:
56+
- `DL_FC0_PROTECTION_TIMEOUT_VAL` = 0x1FFF
57+
- `DL_TC0_REPLAY_TIMEOUT_VAL` = 0xFFFF
58+
- `DL_AFC0_REQ_TIMEOUT_VAL` = 0x7FFF
59+
- **PHY Layer Settings**:
60+
- `PA_HS_SERIES` = Mode B (HS-B)
61+
- `PA_RX_TERMINATION` = 0x1
62+
- `PA_TX_TERMINATION` = 0x1
63+
- **Purpose**: Configure timing and PHY parameters required for stable High-Speed operation
64+
65+
#### 4. Power Mode Switching (PostLinkStartup)
66+
- **Query**: `PA_MAX_RX_HS_GEAR` for host and device capabilities
67+
- **Configuration**: Set `PA_RX_GEAR` and `PA_TX_GEAR` to HS-G3 (limited for compatibility)
68+
- **Execution**: Issue `PA_PWR_MODE` change to Fast mode (0x11)
69+
- **Confirmation**: Wait for `UFS_HC_IS_UPMS` interrupt to verify mode change
70+
- **Impact**: Switches from PWM (slow) to HS-G3 mode, critical for boot performance
71+
72+
### Reference Clock
73+
- **Setting**: 19.2 MHz (`EdkiiUfsCardRefClkFreq19p2Mhz`)
74+
- **Scope**: Standard for Intel UFS platforms
75+

## Architecture
200+
201+
### Design Philosophy
202+
203+
This driver follows EDK2 best practices while implementing Intel platform-specific optimizations:
204+
205+
- **Timing Correctness**: Operations executed at proper phases (PostHce for LCC, PostLinkStartup for HS configuration)
206+
- **Universal Compatibility**: Works across Intel Alderlake, Meteor Lake, and similar platforms without device-specific quirks
207+
- **Gap Filling**: Implements functionality missing from EDK2 UFS core driver (HS Recipe, power mode switching)
208+
- **Robustness**: Validates configurations and provides extensive debug logging for troubleshooting
209+
210+
## Technical Details
211+
212+
### UniPro/UFS Attribute Programming
213+
214+
The driver uses UIC (UniPro Interconnect Configuration) commands to configure UniPro and UFS attributes:
215+
216+
**DME_SET Command Structure:**
217+
```c
218+
UicCommand.Opcode = UFS_UIC_DME_SET; // 0x02
219+
UicCommand.Arg1 = (Attribute << 16) | 0x0; // MIB Attribute | GenSelectorIndex
220+
UicCommand.Arg2 = 0x00000000; // AttrSetType = Normal
221+
UicCommand.Arg3 = Value; // Attribute value
222+
```
223+
224+
**DME_GET Command Structure:**
225+
```c
226+
UicCommand.Opcode = UFS_UIC_DME_GET; // 0x01
227+
UicCommand.Arg1 = (Attribute << 16) | 0x0; // MIB Attribute | GenSelectorIndex
228+
UicCommand.Arg2 = 0x00000000; // AttrSetType = Normal
229+
// Result returned in UicCommand.Arg3
230+
```
231+
232+
### Key UniPro Attributes
233+
234+
| Attribute | MIB ID | Layer | Purpose |
235+

240+

247+
| PA_PWR_MODE | 0x1571 | PHY | Power mode (Fast=1, Slow=2, FastAuto=4, SlowAuto=5) |
248+
| DL_FC0_PROTECTION_TIMEOUT_VAL | 0x2041 | Data Link | Flow control timeout |
249+
| DL_TC0_REPLAY_TIMEOUT_VAL | 0x2042 | Data Link | Replay timeout |
250+
| DL_AFC0_REQ_TIMEOUT_VAL | 0x2043 | Data Link | AFC request timeout |
251+
252+
### Protocol Implementation
253+
254+
Implements **EDKII_UFS_HC_PLATFORM_PROTOCOL_VERSION 3**:
255+
256+
```c
257+
typedef struct {
258+
UINT32 Version;
259+
EDKII_UFS_HC_PLATFORM_OVERRIDE_HC_INFO OverrideHcInfo; // Not used
260+
EDKII_UFS_HC_PLATFORM_CALLBACK Callback; // Main callback
261+
EDKII_UFS_CARD_REF_CLK_FREQ RefClkFreq; // 19.2 MHz
262+
BOOLEAN SkipHceReenable; // FALSE
263+
BOOLEAN SkipLinkStartup; // FALSE
264+
} EDKII_UFS_HC_PLATFORM_PROTOCOL;
265+
```
266+
267+
### Performance Impact
268+
269+
| Optimization | Boot Time Impact | Reason |
270+
|--------------|------------------|--------|
271+
| LCC Disable | Essential | Link fails without it |
272+
| Lane Activation | ~5-10% improvement | Doubles bandwidth on dual-lane systems |
273+
| HS Recipe | Essential | Required for stable HS operation |
274+
| Power Mode Switch | **~90% improvement** | Switches from slow PWM to fast HS-G3 mode |
275+
| **Combined** | **3 min → 15 sec (12x)** | All optimizations working together |
276+
