In order to aid post-mortem debugging the Qualcomm platforms provide a "memory download mode", where the boot loader will provide an interface for custom tools to "download" the content of RAM to a host machine. The mode is triggered by writing a magic value somewhere in RAM, that is read in the boot code path after a warm-restart. Two mechanism for setting this magic value are supported in modern platforms; a direct SCM call to enable the mode or through a secure io write of a magic value. In order for a normal reboot not to trigger "download mode" the magic must be cleared during a clean reboot. Download mode has to be enabled by including qcom_scm.download_mode=1 on the command line.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
