1 Qualcomm External Bus Interface 2 (EBI2)
3 The EBI2 contains two peripheral blocks: XMEM and LCDC. The XMEM handles any
4 external memory (such as NAND or other memory-mapped peripherals) whereas
5 LCDC handles LCD displays.
7 As it says it connects devices to an external bus interface, meaning address
8 lines (up to 9 address lines so can only address 1KiB external memory space),
9 data lines (16 bits), OE (output enable), ADV (address valid, used on some
10 NOR flash memories), WE (write enable). This on top of 6 different chip selects
11 (CS0 thru CS5) so that in theory 6 different devices can be connected.
13 Apparently this bus is clocked at 64MHz. It has dedicated pins on the package
14 and the bus can only come out on these pins, however if some of the pins are
15 unused they can be left unconnected or remuxed to be used as GPIO or in some
16 cases other orthogonal functions as well.
18 Also CS1 and CS2 has -A and -B signals. Why they have that is unclear to me.
20 The chip selects have the following memory range assignments. This region of
21 memory is referred to as "Chip Peripheral SS FPB0" and is 168MB big.
23 Chip Select Physical address base
24 CS0 GPIO134 0x1a800000-0x1b000000 (8MB)
25 CS1 GPIO39 (A) / GPIO123 (B) 0x1b000000-0x1b800000 (8MB)
26 CS2 GPIO40 (A) / GPIO124 (B) 0x1b800000-0x1c000000 (8MB)
27 CS3 GPIO133 0x1d000000-0x25000000 (128 MB)
28 CS4 GPIO132 0x1c800000-0x1d000000 (8MB)
29 CS5 GPIO131 0x1c000000-0x1c800000 (8MB)
31 The APQ8060 Qualcomm Application Processor User Guide, 80-N7150-14 Rev. A,
32 August 6, 2012 contains some incomplete documentation of the EBI2.
34 FIXME: the manual mentions "write precharge cycles" and "precharge cycles".
35 We have not been able to figure out which bit fields these correspond to
36 in the hardware, or what valid values exist. The current hypothesis is that
37 this is something just used on the FAST chip selects and that the SLOW
38 chip selects are understood fully. There is also a "byte device enable"
39 flag somewhere for 8bit memories.
41 FIXME: The chipselects have SLOW and FAST configuration registers. It's a bit
42 unclear what this means, if they are mutually exclusive or can be used
43 together, or if some chip selects are hardwired to be FAST and others are SLOW
46 The XMEM registers are totally undocumented but could be partially decoded
47 because the Cypress AN49576 Antioch Westbridge apparently has suspiciously
48 similar register layout, see: http://www.cypress.com/file/105771/download
51 - compatible: should be one of:
54 - #address-cells: shoule be <2>: the first cell is the chipselect,
55 the second cell is the offset inside the memory range
56 - #size-cells: should be <1>
57 - ranges: should be set to:
58 ranges = <0 0x0 0x1a800000 0x00800000>,
59 <1 0x0 0x1b000000 0x00800000>,
60 <2 0x0 0x1b800000 0x00800000>,
61 <3 0x0 0x1d000000 0x08000000>,
62 <4 0x0 0x1c800000 0x00800000>,
63 <5 0x0 0x1c000000 0x00800000>;
64 - reg: two ranges of registers: EBI2 config and XMEM config areas
65 - reg-names: should be "ebi2", "xmem"
66 - clocks: two clocks, EBI_2X and EBI
67 - clock-names: shoule be "ebi2x", "ebi2"
70 - Nodes inside the EBI2 will be considered device nodes.
72 The following optional properties are properties that can be tagged onto
73 any device subnode. We are assuming that there can be only ONE device per
74 chipselect subnode, else the properties will become ambigous.
76 Optional properties arrays for SLOW chip selects:
77 - qcom,xmem-recovery-cycles: recovery cycles is the time the memory continues to
78 drive the data bus after OE is de-asserted, in order to avoid contention on
79 the data bus. They are inserted when reading one CS and switching to another
80 CS or read followed by write on the same CS. Valid values 0 thru 15. Minimum
81 value is actually 1, so a value of 0 will still yield 1 recovery cycle.
82 - qcom,xmem-write-hold-cycles: write hold cycles, these are extra cycles
83 inserted after every write minimum 1. The data out is driven from the time
84 WE is asserted until CS is asserted. With a hold of 1 (value = 0), the CS
85 stays active for 1 extra cycle etc. Valid values 0 thru 15.
86 - qcom,xmem-write-delta-cycles: initial latency for write cycles inserted for
87 the first write to a page or burst memory. Valid values 0 thru 255.
88 - qcom,xmem-read-delta-cycles: initial latency for read cycles inserted for the
89 first read to a page or burst memory. Valid values 0 thru 255.
90 - qcom,xmem-write-wait-cycles: number of wait cycles for every write access, 0=1
91 cycle. Valid values 0 thru 15.
92 - qcom,xmem-read-wait-cycles: number of wait cycles for every read access, 0=1
93 cycle. Valid values 0 thru 15.
95 Optional properties arrays for FAST chip selects:
96 - qcom,xmem-address-hold-enable: this is a boolean property stating that we
97 shall hold the address for an extra cycle to meet hold time requirements
99 - qcom,xmem-adv-to-oe-recovery-cycles: the number of cycles elapsed before an OE
100 assertion, with respect to the cycle where ADV (address valid) is asserted.
101 2 means 2 cycles between ADV and OE. Valid values 0, 1, 2 or 3.
102 - qcom,xmem-read-hold-cycles: the length in cycles of the first segment of a
103 read transfer. For a single read trandfer this will be the time from CS
104 assertion to OE assertion. Valid values 0 thru 15.
