P2020RDB-PC +has 64-bit DDR. All others have 32-bit DDR. + +Key features on these boards include: + * DDR3 + * NOR flash + * NAND flash (on RDB's only) + * SPI flash (on RDB's only) + * SDHC/MMC card slot + * VSC7385 Ethernet switch (on P1020MBG, P1020RDB, & P1021RDB) + * PCIE slot and mini-PCIE slots + +As these boards use soldered DDR chips not regular DIMMs, an on-board EEPROM +is used to store SPD data. In case of absent or corrupted SPD, falling back +to timing data embedded in the source code will be used. Raw timing data is +extracted from DDR chip datasheet. Different speeds of DDR are supported with +this approach. ODT option is forced to fit this set of boards, again because +they don't have regular DIMMs. + +CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS is defined as 5ms to meet specification +for writing timing. + +VSC firmware Address is defined by default in config file for eTSEC1. + +SD width is based off DIP switch. DIP switch is detected on the +board by reading i2c bus and setting the appropriate mux values. + +Some boards have QE module in the silicon (P1021 and P1025). QE and eLBC have +pins multiplexing. QE function needs to be disabled to access Nor Flash and +CPLD. QE-UEC and QE-UART can be enabled for linux kernel by setting "qe" +in hwconfig. In addition, QE-UEC and QE-TDM also have pins multiplexing, to +enable QE-TDM for linux kernel, set "qe;tdm" in hwconfig. Syntax is as below + +'setenv hwconfig qe' to enable QE UEC/UART and disable Nor-Flash/CPLD. +'setenv hwconfig 'qe;tdm'' to enalbe QE TDM and disable Nor-Flash/CPLD. |
