The P4080DS is a Freescale reference board that hosts the eight-core P4080 SOC.

|
SerDes hwconfig configuration
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
The P4080 RCW includes three sets of bits the specify which SerDes lanes
|
|
should be powered down: SRDS_LPD_B1 (for bank one), SRDS_LPD_B2 (for bank two),
|
|
and SRDS_LPD_B3 (for bank three). Each of these contains four bits, one for
|
|
each lane in the bank. SerDes Erratum SERDES8 requires that SRDS_LPD_B2 and
|
|
SRDS_LPD_B3 be set to 0b1111. This forces banks two and three to be powered
|
|
down at reset.
|
|
|
|
To re-enable these banks in U-Boot, two hwconfig are available:
|
|
"fsl_srds_lpd_b2" and "fsl_srds_lpd_b3". The value passed via fsl_srds_lpd_b2
|
|
is written into SRDS_LPD_B2, and the value passed via fsl_srds_lpd_b3 is into
|
|
SRDS_LPD_B3. Each bit represents one of each bank, and a value of '1'
|
|
indicates that the lane should be powered down.
|
|
|
|
For example, to indicate that both SerDes banks 2 and 3 are powered down, add
|
|
the following to hwconfig:
|
|
|
|
serdes:fsl_srds_lpd_b2=0xf,fsl_srds_lpd_b3=0xf
|
|
|
|
The "0xf" is a mask that corresponds to the 4 lanes A-D. The most significant
|
|
bit corresponds to lane A. To indicate that just lane A of bank 3 is to be
|
|
powered down, use:
|
|
|
|
serdes:fsl_srds_lpd_b3=8
|
|
|
|
These options should be specified only if U-Boot does not automatically power
|
|
on the correct lanes.
