Hi FreeScaleTeam,
Can AIC be put in bridged mode [9131RDB]. In other words, i dont want AIC to offer its services of timing, packaging the symbols for MAPLE. all i want is the data feed into AIC [from RFIC] should be routed to System Memory.
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello RC REDDY,
You are correct, DMA is transferring data from AIC buffers to system memory. In fact, data in AIC buffers has been reorganized into its corresponding antenna buffers compared to IQ data captured from RFIC lane. If AIC is used, it can only be implemented in LTE modes, user specific data rate bypass mode can not be achieved.
Thanks,
Yiping
Hi Freescale Team,
I am awaiting your reply. please respond.
Thanks

Hello RC REDDY,
The AIC DMA can be configured to unicast the data from RFIC to system memory only, the RDD field in the following register can be set for this purpose
AIC_DMA_DMSR_parallel_Ln field descriptions (continued)
Field Description
8–7
RDD
Receive Data Destination. This field determines where the received IQ data will be written by DMA.
0x0 Unicast to system memory only
0x1 Unicast to MAPLE only
0x2 Multi Unicast to MAPLE and system memory
0x3 Reserved
Have a great day,
Yiping

Hi Yiping,
I believe there is some misunderstanding. The RDD corresponds to the data to be DMA'ed from AIC buffers to the System or Maple, but NOT directly from RFIC . Can you please confirm this. Also if such possibility exists in Receive direction, same thing should be possible in Tx direction i.e. DSP to RFIC directly..i don't see any such field.
what i wanted to know is AIC should act like a JUST PASS THRU lanes, is such kind of behaviour possible in both Tx and Rx directions.
by the way, thanks for your reply. I almost lost hopes that no one from FSL will reply ever. Also kindly look at the questions i asked related to aic loopback demo example.
Thanks

Just to clarify, this means we can only use LTE sampling rates w/ their corresponding symbol sizes??
