Question: Two boards are used and practically identical - one using the i.MX6Solo, the other is using a Dual. The sw settings in both cases are identical (except IOMUX addresses). On the i.MX6Solo they do not see any packet loss, on the i.MX6Dual they do. I recommended modifying the MTU size, but this also did not help. So here my two questions: 1)      is there still some hw difference between the Ethernet block on the Solo and the Dual/Quad? 2)      They run the AHB at only 100MHz. Could that be a problem? If not, why do the two chips behave so differently? To increase the AHB clock to 133 MHz.appears to solve the packet corruption issue. Is the 100 MHz AHB clock really the root cause. Answer: The DualLite/Solo and SoloLite contain different ethernet controllers. The DL/S has a 1000M controller which requires the AHB bus to be greater than 125MHz, while the SL has a 100M controller. As the question was about the Solo and the Dual and both use the Gigabit Ethernet block I assume that both will require a minimum AHB clock of 125MHz.

Question: The description of the IOMUXC_GPR2 register is wrong. It contains exactly the same description as the LDB_CTRL register. The bits in the LDB_CTRL register work as advertised opposed to the GPR2 register. Answer: This is intentional. The LDB_CTRL description in the RM says "The register is implemented in the IOMUX Controller block (IOMUXC), as the register IOMUXC_GPR2.". And you will notice the two registers have the same address.

To get the FSL amrdecoder building and running on imx53 in 11.09 BSP: TIP: During debug for creation of these patches -> On the target, I had to make sure I had all the amr decoder libraries present, or it just wouldn't work. I narrowed those down by deleting "rm /root/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.arm.bin" and rerunning gst-inspect to rescan the plugins. With GST_DEBUG=3 I could see what libraries were missing and copied them over. But once everything was in place, it just worked. gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:////media/sd/media_file_with_amr_audio_encoding.3gp Attached are the new .spec files and patch files to get this to work.

Q: To minimize i.MX6DL power consumption at stop mode, but needs i.MX6DL to wake-up by USB resume signal from Host PC. Can LDO_2P5(VDDHIGH_CAP) be powered off at stop mode in order to resume i.MX6DL by a USB resume signal that Host PC sends to i.MX6DL USBOTG(us as device mode only)? In other words, can USB OTG detect resume signal from Host PC and generate wakeup interrupt during stop mode with following LDO condition? -          LDO_USB is enabled and powered by USB_OTG_VBUS. -          LDO_2P5 is disabled during stop mode. -          LDO_1P1 is enabled during stop mode. The system uses LPDDR2, hence LDO_2P5 can be powered off at stop mode(I know this is not allowed for DDR3 as DDR IO need 2P5 as pre-driver). Actually tested on SDP, the system can not be resumed without LDO_2P5 as DDR IO need 2P5 for DDR3. A: Please note that disabling the LDO_2P5 supply, you are also disabling the DRAM, as the DRAM pre-drivers are powered by this supply(!). SDCKE is pulled down on the board, and it ensures that the DRAM is in proper state during DSM without LDO_2P5 power. we recommend to keep LDO_2P5 on at any mode(include DSM mode). ldo_2p5 is also one of power for USB phy.   4.3.2.2 LDO_2P5 The LDO_2P5 module implements a programmable linear-regulator function from VDD_HIGH_IN. The LDO_2P5 supplies the SATA Phy, USB Phy, LVDS Phy,   Actually I have tested on SDP, but we cannot resume the system without LDO_2P5 as DDR IO need 2P5 for DDR3.

The purpose of this document is to provide extended guidance for the selection of compatible LPDDR4 memory devices that are supported by the i.MX 91 series of processors. In all cases, it is strongly recommended to follow the DRAM layout guidelines outlined in the NXP Hardware Developer's Guides for the specific SoCs. Memory devices with binary densities (e.g., 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB) are preferred because they simplify memory management by aligning with system addressing schemes and reducing software complexity.   LPDDR4 - Maximum Supported Densities SoC Max Data bus width Maximum density Assumed memory organization Notes i.MX 91 (i.MX 91xx) 16-bit 16 Gb / (2 GB) single rank, single channel device with 17-row addresses (R0 - R16) 1, 2, 3   LPDDR4 - List of Validated Memories The validation process is an ongoing effort - regular updates of the table are expected. SoC Density Memory Vendor Validated Memory Part# Notes i.MX 91 16 Gb / (2 GB) Micron MT53E1G16D1FW-046 AAT:A MT53E1G16D1ZW-046 AAT:C 5    2 Gb / (256 MB)  Winbond  W66BP6NBHAHJ 4 8 Gb / (1 GB) Nanya NT6AN512M16AV-J1I   4 Gb / (512 MB) Nanya NT6AN256M16AV-J1I 4 8 Gb / (1 GB) ISSI IS43LQ16512B-046BLI 4 12 Gb / (1.5 GB) Micron MT53E768M16D1ZW-046 4 16 Gb / (2 GB) Intelligent Memory IMAG16L4KBBG 4 2 Gb / (256 MB) Nanya NT6AN128M16AV-J1 4 4 Gb / (512 MB) UniIC SCB11N4G160BF-04ZI 4 4 Gb / (512 MB) ISSI IS43LQ16256B-053BLI 4 4 Gb / (512 MB) Winbond W66CP6RBHAHJ 4     Note: This device supports operation with LPDDR4 memories only. LPDDR4x operation is not supported. Dual‑mode memories that support both LPDDR4 and LPDDR4x are allowed as long as the device can operate in LPDDR4 mode, including using LPDDR4 I/O voltage levels and initialization sequences. NOTE: LPDDR4 devices from certain memory vendors may not support operation at low speeds and in addition, DQ ODT may not be active, which can impact signal integrity at these speeds. If low-speed operation is planned in the use case, please consult with the memory vendor about the configuration aspects and possible customization of the memory device so correct functionality is ensured. Note 1: The numbers are based purely on the IP documentation for the DDR Controller and the DDR PHY, on the settings of the implementation parameters chosen for their integration into the SoC, SoC reference manual and on the JEDEC standards JESD209-4B (LPDDR4). Therefore, they are not backed by validation, unless said otherwise and there is no guarantee that an SoC with the specific density and/or desired internal organization is offered by the memory vendors. Should the customers choose to use the maximum density and assume it in the intended use case, they do it at their own risk. Note 2: Byte-mode LPDDR4 devices (x16 channel internally split between two dies, x8 each) of any density are not supported therefore, the numbers are applicable only to devices with x16 internal organization (referred to as "standard" in the JEDEC specification). Note 3: The SoC also supports dual rank single channel devices therefore, 16Gb/2GB density can be also achieved by using a dual rank single channel device with 16-row addresses (R0 - R15). Note 4: The memory part number did not undergo full JEDEC verification however, it passed all functional testing items. Note 5: The memory part number is not recommended for new designs and superseded by a new part number

Q:Is there an issue using odd DIV_SELECT values? When setting the CPU clock (maybe others also) in uboot, the code will only use even valuesfor the DIV_SELECT field. There is nothing in the Reference Manual or Errata that indicates only even values can be used for this field. There were 2 SR's that had conflicting answers and we are trying to determine what can be used. The CPU freq setting trying to be achieved is 996MHz. With a 24MHz source, you need 24MHz x 41.5 = 996MHz. Since the DIV_SELECT is x2, a value of 83 would be needed. A: Below is the DIV_SELECT description of ARM PLL, since the Fin is 24MHz, so there is no odd issue of DVI_SELECT, as 24 / 2 = 12MHz. Such as for 996M, this value is 83, that is fine. "This field controls the pll loop divider. Valid range for divider value: 54-108. Fout = Fin * div_select/2.0." This document was generated from the following discussion: mx6Q PLL Setting

LSIO_GPIO0_IO0x toggling on i.MX8QM Issue customer met: Customer met LSIO_GPIO0_IO0x not toggling on i.MX8QM, they are working through the software on their board, part of that involves getting a few GPIO pins working. They have been using several GPIO pins for a while now, we have some simple toggles and some others where we bit bang i2c, all of those have worked fine. However, They have not been able to get 3 pins to either read or set successfully at all: LSIO_GPIO0_IO00 (SIM0_CLK) LSIO_GPIO0_IO01 (SIM0_RST) LSIO_GPIO0_IO02 (SIM0_IO) 1\ Reproduce on our i.MX8QM EVK board  a. Check the hardware connection Check the LSIO_GPIO0_IO00 (SIM0_CLK), LSIO_GPIO0_IO01 (SIM0_RST) and LSIO_GPIO0_IO02 (SIM0_IO) connection in our i.MX8QM EVK board. In the default design in NXP i.MX8QM EVK board, the pins SIM0_CLK, SIM0_RST and SIM0_IO connect to the SIM CARD on the base board.

So if setting the SIM0_CLK as GPIO0_00 function, then we need to set the SC_P_SCU_GPIO0_00 this PIN to others function, so that no conflict of them. Even no use the pin SC_P_SCU_GPIO0_00 in hardware, we also need to set them to others function to avoid the conflict.

Question: How to enable touch functions on LVDS1/SabreAI base board? what should be soldered in order to connect the signals to i2c what to add in the Linux kernel (board-mx6q_sabreauto.c) BTW.: Why did we leave these disconnected? Is there any conflict on i2c? Answer: You can mount R305 and R306 to support touch on LVDS1, no code modification was needed. The only limitation is that the two LVDS's touch can't be connected to same I2C port, because they are using the same I2C address. Question: How is this working because the touch interrupt signal from LVDS1 called LCD1_TOUCH_INT_B is connected to pin21 on J44 on base board which is left floating (TP1) on CPU card P1A connector? Are both LVDS needed to work in the same time. Answer: That's the problem, the LVDS1 touch interrupt pin hasn't been connected to IMX6 CPU. Maybe you can use the SabreSD board, the two touch are ready on that board.

Hi all !      I found a problem, wiif connection issue .  When I connect to WiFi hotspots, reported a warning !     <4>RTL871X: assoc success <4>------------[ cut here ]------------ <4>WARNING: at net/wireless/sme.c:482 __cfg80211_connect_result+0x2f4/0x32c() <4>Modules linked in: 8188eu <4>[<c0054044>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x138) from [<c008c1b8>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x4c/0x64) <4>[<c008c1b8>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x4c/0x64) from [<c008c1ec>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x24) <4>UpdateHalRAMask8188EUsb => mac_id:0, networkType:0x0b, mask:0x000fffff <4>     ==> rssi_level:0, rate_bitmap:0x000ff015 <4>[<c008c1ec>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x24) from [<c069e3a0>] (__cfg80211_connect_result+0x2f4/0x32c) <4>[<c069e3a0>] (__cfg80211_connect_result+0x2f4/0x32c) from [<c06893f4>] (cfg80211_process_rdev_events+0x1e0/0x204) <4>[<c06893f4>] (cfg80211_process_rdev_events+0x1e0/0x204) from [<c0686ec0>] (cfg80211_event_work+0x24/0x54) <4>[<c0686ec0>] (cfg80211_event_work+0x24/0x54) from [<c00a66f0>] (process_one_work+0x12c/0x494) <4>[<c00a66f0>] (process_one_work+0x12c/0x494) from [<c00a6bc8>] (worker_thread+0x170/0x3cc) <4>[<c00a6bc8>] (worker_thread+0x170/0x3cc) from [<c00aacbc>] (kthread+0x80/0x88) <4>[<c00aacbc>] (kthread+0x80/0x88) from [<c004d408>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8) <4>---[ end trace 14efbc2d6eba2439 ]---       This document was generated from the following discussion:

Question: Clarify if the delay units, mentioned in  i.MX6 RM in two places are the same : 1. There are delay units for data strobes, that are considered in calibration procedures. 2. There are delay units for clocks SDCLK, mentioned in section 44.12.54 “MMDC PHY CK Control Register (MMDCx_MPSDCTRL)” of the RM. General delay units description states : “ The delay issued by the delay-line (according to the configured value) is absolute and takes into account the operating and temperature conditions. The delay-line has a resolution that may vary from device to device; an increment of 1 delay unit may vary between 20 pSec to 50 pSec.” It may be guessed that the same relates to SDCLK delays, but preliminary i.MX6 specs mention that bit fields SDCLKx_DEL (x=0,1) control SDCLK delay, that can be up to 1 cycle.  This means SDCLKx_DEL step is 1/4  of the SDCLK. Please clarify SDCLK delays (SDCLKx_DEL) in more details. Answer: "The delay elements in the SDCLK path are similar to those in the data strobes but they are not exactly the same. The delay is on the order of picoseconds, though, not a full SDCLK cycle as might have been interpreted from the older document."
