+# Case-Closed Debug in Chromebooks and Servo Micro
+
+The Servo debug/test-automation connector has been required on all
+chromebooks. It has proved essential to performing the required testing to meet
+the six week OS release cycle, for bringing up new systems and qualifying new
+components. In newer form-factors it is becoming hard to fit the Servo connector
+(and related flex) and in some designs the thermal solution stops working when
+the connector is used. The secure Case-Closed Debugging solution provides the
+same capabilities and can take advantage of the Debug Mode detection available
+on the USB-C connector. This application note gives an overview of Case-Closed
+Debug (CCD) but does not address the related security issues.
+
+
+## Introduction to Case-Closed Debug
+
+Case-Closed Debug provides the same set of features as are available on the Servo connector:
+
+* Access to console UART connections to AP, EC and on some systems a third MCU
+* Ability to reprogram firmware/BIOS SPI flash used by the AP
+* Ability to reprogram SPI flash used by the EC or use a firmware update mode
+ to reprogram the internal flash on the EC (using UART or I2C)
+* GPIOs for holding the EC (and thus entire system) or AP in reset
+* Act as master on a debug I2C that is primarily used for power
+ measurements. This bus normally contains INA voltage/current monitors and
+ temperature monitors that will not be populated on final MP systems.
+* JTAG/SWD could be provided but has not been implemented on any existing system.
+
+When the Servo connector is used these interfaces are presented on well defined
+pins of the board-to-board connector and a flex is used to attach to the
+external Servo controller. The height needed for the mated board-to-board
+connector is not available in newer slim designs, and the disruption caused by
+the flex may interfere with thermal solutions. In a system using Case-Closed
+Debug the interfaces are gathered by a part on the board into a single USB
+interface that can come out of the system on an existing connector. In
+particular, the USB-C connector has two SideBand Use pins (SBU1, SBU2) that can
+be used for the debug USB while the main link on the connector continues to be
+available. (The SBU pins are also used by some Alternate Modes, so the connector
+cannot be used for video out at the same time as debugging.)
+
+
+## Servo Micro: Using CCD with existing boards
+
+The Servo Micro implements the CCD functions in a way that can connect to
+existing boards and thus can also serve as an easy introduction to the CCD
+implementation. The debug USB interface is expanded by a STM32F072 into an
+existing Servo flex connector that can be plugged into the target board.
+
+![block diagram](servo_micro.png)
+
+The Servo Micro includes the voltage level buffering between the microcontroller
+and the device under test (DUT), making use of the DUT supplied reference
+voltages. To allow use with all the existing designs a third UART (not on the
+original Servo connector, but on some designs) can be connected to either the
+JTAG pins or the SPI pins. It is capable of providing the SPI flash supply
+voltages.
+
+The schematics for Servo Micro are available [as a
+pdf](servo_micro_sch_20180404.pdf).
+
+Servo Micro has a USB micro-B connector and acts as a USB device.
+
+Schematic sheet 2 shows the STM32 powered from the uB connector. The UART3 pins
+can also be used as GPIO pins when driving the JTAG interface. As a useful but
+non-compliant hack if the ID pin on the uB is low then Q4 will force the STM32
+to boot in programming mode. This allows initial programming of the part with
+USB DFU using an illegal USB-A plug to USB-A plug cable and a USB-A receptacle
+to uB plug adapter. Alternatively the initial programming can be done using a
+UART connection on CN2.
+
+Schematic sheet 3 shows the I2C GPIO expander and the buffers for JTAG/SWD. The
+buffers adapt to the voltage needed on the DUT that is provided on
+`PPDUT_JTAG_VREF`. In the SWD case the TDI becomes the bidirectional SWDIO but the
+STM32 continues to use a discrete input and output pin. The DUT signal is
+received through U55 and a selection made with U1 to determine if to forward TDO
+from the DUT or the TDI/SWDIO. Because of the shared pins on the STM32 the JTAG
+interface can alternatively be used to connect UART3 to the DUT for a few
+chromebook models.
+
+Schematic sheet 4 shows the buffers for the SPI interfaces. Again the
+`PPDUT_SPIn_VREF` sets the voltage level required from the DUT. However, I61 and
+I62 (which are expanded on sheets 7 and 8) allow the Servo Micro to supply 3.3V
+or 1.8V for cases where the DUT does not provide the reference (care is needed
+to select the correct voltage for the given DUT). Only one of the SPI interfaces
+can be used at any time, so the buffers are also used to select which connects
+to the STM32 SPI pins. Certain chromebook models connect the UART3 in place of
+SPI1 which is enabled using U5 to select between the STM32 UART3 (TX,RX) and SPI
+(CLK, MISO).
+
+Schematic sheet 5 shows the buffers for the UART interfaces. The
+`PPDUT_UARTn_VREF` sets the voltage level required from the DUT.
+
+Schematic sheet 6 shows the board-to-board connector that mates with the servo
+connector on the DUT.
+
+Schematic sheets 7 and 8 are the expansion of blocks I61 and I62 on sheet 4. The
+load switches are carefully selected to have reverse blocking (protecting
+against a DUT providing a voltage or both being enabled).
+
+The code for the STM32 in Servo Micro is open source as the
+[`servo_micro`](../../board/servo_micro)
+board in the [Chromium EC
+codebase](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/). Essentially
+it is a USB device that provides the standard control endpoint and 7 function
+endpoints defined in
+[`board.h`](board.h).
+

+
+``` c
+ #define USB_EP_USART4_STREAM 1
+ #define USB_EP_UPDATE 2
+ #define USB_EP_SPI 3
+ #define USB_EP_CONSOLE 4
+ #define USB_EP_I2C 5
+ #define USB_EP_USART3_STREAM 6
+ #define USB_EP_USART2_STREAM 7
+```
+
+
+The USART endpoints use the simple `GOOGLE_SERIAL` vendor class to connect the
+STM32 UARTs. The CONSOLE endpoint also uses `GOOGLE_STREAM` to connect to the
+console of the code running on the STM32. `GOOGLE_STREAM` provides simple byte
+streams on the IN and OUT of the endpoint and host support is included in the
+standard Linux `drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial-simple.c`
+
+The SPI endpoint is described in
+[`chip/stm32/usb_spi.h`](../../chip/stm32/usb_spi.h) and provides a simple
+connection to the SPI port. The host support is provided as a [driver in
+flashrom](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/flashrom/+/master/raiden_debug_spi.c).
+
+The I2C endpoint is described in [`include/usb_i2c.h`](../../include/usb_i2c.h)
+and provides a simple connection to the I2C bus. The host support is provided in
+the [hdctools servo
+support](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hdctools/+/master/servo/stm32i2c.py).
+
+The GPIO endpoint is cryptically described in
+[`chip/stm32/usb_gpio.h`](../../chip/stm32/usb_gpio.h) and provides simple access
+to set/clear and read the GPIO pins. The host support is provided in the
+[hdctools servo
+support](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hdctools/+/master/servo/stm32gpio.py).
+
+The UPDATE endpoint is not part of CCD. It provides a method for updating the
+STM32 without needing the special boot modes. This uses the [Chromium EC update
+over
+USB](../../docs/usb_updater.md)
+method. The STM32 runs the code in
+[`common/usb_update.c`](../../common/usb_update.c).
+The host side code is in
+[`extra/usb_updater/usb_updater2.c`](../../extra/usb_updater/usb_updater2.c)
+and the
+[`extra/usb_updater`](../../extra/usb_updater/)
+directory contains additional scripts.
+
+
+## Using CCD on new designs
+
+New chromebook designs implement the CCD in a similar way to Servo Micro. There
+are two changes to the Servo Micro:
+
+* The USB microB connector is replaced with the USB connection being carried
+ on the SBU pins of one of the devices USB-C ports. This will only be
+ activated when the USB-C port detects a debug accessory or a debug alternate
+ mode is entered. Use of the debug connection precludes use of the Display
+ Port alternate mode (which also uses the SBU pins) but allows full USB3 and
+ USB2 functions including both host and gadget mode.
+* The system security chip will normally lock out debug access. Using secure
+ transactions, user authorization and proof of user physical presence it can
+ unlock various degrees of debug access.
+
+The full details are part of the Cr50 firmware specification.
