| eSPI port |
| - High-speed serial flash |
| Two Serial port |
| Four I2C ports |
| XFI |
| XFI is supported on T4QDS-XFI board which removed slot3 and routed |
| four Lanes A/B/C/D to a SFP+ cages, which to house fiber cable or |
| direct attach cable(copper), the copper cable is used to emulate |
| 10GBASE-KR scenario. |
| So, for XFI usage, there are two scenarios, one will use fiber cable, |
| another will use copper cable. An hwconfig env "fsl_10gkr_copper" is |
| introduced to indicate a XFI port will use copper cable, and U-boot |
| will fixup the dtb accordingly. |
| It's used as: fsl_10gkr_copper:<10g_mac_name> |
| The <10g_mac_name> can be fm1_10g1, fm1_10g2, fm2_10g1, fm2_10g2, they |
| do not have to be coexist in hwconfig. If a MAC is listed in the env |
| "fsl_10gkr_copper", it will use copper cable, otherwise, fiber cable |
| will be used by default. |
| for ex. set "fsl_10gkr_copper:fm1_10g1,fm1_10g2,fm2_10g1,fm2_10g2" in |
| hwconfig, then both four XFI ports will use copper cable. |
| set "fsl_10gkr_copper:fm1_10g1,fm1_10g2" in hwconfig, then first two |
| XFI ports will use copper cable, the other two XFI ports will use fiber |
| cable. |

| 0x0_ffdf_0000 (0xf_ffdf_0000) - 0x0_ffdf_03ff 4KB QIXIS |
| 0x0_ffff_f000 (0x0_7fff_fff0) - 0x0_ffff_ffff 4KB Boot page translation for secondary cores |
| |
| The physical address of the last (boot page translation) varies with the actual DDR size. |
| |
| Voltage ID and VDD override |
| -------------------- |
| T4240 has a VID feature. U-boot reads the VID efuses and adjust the voltage |
| accordingly. The voltage can also be override by command vdd_override. The |
| syntax is |
| |
| vdd_override <voltage in mV>, eg. 1050 is for 1.050v. |
| |
| Upon success, the actual voltage will be read back. The value is checked |
| for safety and any invalid value will not adjust the voltage. |
| |
| Another way to override VDD is to use environmental variable, in case of using |
| command is too late for some debugging. The syntax is |
| |
| setenv t4240qds_vdd_mv <voltage in mV> |
| saveenv |
| reset |
| |
| The override voltage takes effect when booting. |
| |
| Note: voltage adjustment needs to be done step by step. Changing voltage too |
| rapidly may cause current surge. The voltage stepping is done by software. |
| Users can set the final voltage directly. |
| |
| 2-stage NAND/SD boot loader |
| ------------------------------- |
| PBL initializes the internal SRAM and copy SPL(160K) in SRAM. |
| SPL further initialise DDR using SPD and environment variables |
| and copy u-boot(768 KB) from NAND/SD device to DDR. |
| Finally SPL transers control to u-boot for futher booting. |
| |
| SPL has following features: |
| - Executes within 256K |
| - No relocation required |
| |
| Run time view of SPL framework |
