imx6ull define sd card speed/clock frequency

alampret — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 05:21:20 GMT

Hi,

I've created a custom imx6ull board and therefore copied dts from imx6ul-14x14 evk board.

In this dts file, there are 3 pinctrl for "default", 100MHz and 200MHz.

Current result of cat /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios is:

clock: 50000000 Hz

actual clock: 49500000 Hz

vdd: 21 (3.3 ~ 3.4 V)

bus mode: 2 (push-pull)

chip select: 0 (don't care)

power mode: 2 (on)

bus width: 2 (4 bits)

timing spec: 2 (sd high-speed)

signal voltage: 0 (3.30 V)

driver type: 0 (driver type B)

How is it possible to increase clock and speed? Which settings have to be changed?

Currently, read from sd card is quite slow.

Thx!

Alexander

Hi Alexander

linux driver selects maximum speed automatically based

on sd csd register maximum data transfer rate, so for example sd1 port

has 3 pinctrl for "default", 100MHz and 200MHz. Note for such high rates

power cycling is needed, provided by SD1_nRST.

Ok, clear.

And what about BOOT_CFG1? Does it makes sense to change [2,3] to increase speed? If yes, is it possible to test these settings without ordering a new pcb? Like in fuse or any other settings?

yes one can use USDHC boot eFUSE SD/MMC speed mode, settings.

Check Boot Chapter Reference Manual.

Thank you for your answer.

How do I set the eFUSE? Without destroying all other parts :smileywink:

All boot parameters are defined by resistors on boot (LCD_... Pins) but SDR50 or SDR104 has to be set by eFUSE.

Thx,

Alexander
