notes
|
| PMIC base |
OK |
|
voltages nominal, but on high side for CPU (1.35V) -- need PMIC DVFS driver to dial it back
|
| PMIC advanced |
|
|
needs driver for further testing
|
| debug console |
OK |
OK |
|
| SDHC3 (microSD boot) |
OK |
|
|
| SDHC3 power switch |
|
|
|
| DDR3 base |
OK |
|
functions at 1066 MT/s, 1 GB configured
|
| DDR3 extended |
|
|
need to test multiple DIMM/mfg configs
|
| I2C1 (SMB) |
OK |
|
can read out DDR3 I2C config using i2cdump
|
| I2C2: OK |
|
|
can read out accelerometer, PMIC bits using i2cdump
|
| I2C3: FAIL |
|
|
may be driver issue
|
| reset button: FAIL |
|
|
reset button hangs system, doesn't cause reboot
|
| USB hub 1 |
OK |
|
tested with thumb drive, needs performance testing

Known issues
Hardware
- Inrush current limiting for 3.3V_DELAYED turnon: R38N should be increased to about 30k. Need to verify with experiment turn-on timing margin (i.e. put smaller values in until failure to determine how much margin is available at 30k to ensure consistency across process variation)
Software
U-boot
- DDR3: need to come up with alternate poke files for different SO-DIMM types
- DDR3: need to figure out how to configure u-boot to recognize greater amounts of DRAM
- MMC: USDHC3 has to have the CD check return 1 at all times. Patch not yet checked into trunk - todo bunnie
Linux
- MMC: device tree novena.dts descriptor edited to note that USDHC3 port is non-removable in order to enable boot Patch not yet checked into trunk - todo bunnie
- Power: Driver for power currently assumes fixed regulators, an incorrect assumption. This needs to be changed to use the PFUZE PMIC. Currently, no drivers exist in the source tree (based off of the sabrelite). Recommend using Sabre board for smart devices as the base image instead of sabrelite - todo xobs
- USB/Power: PMIC does not turn on the USB VBUS by default, which causes internal root hub to fail. To fix this:
- add i2c2 to device tree (added to novena.dts but not yet checked into trunk - todo bunnie)
- run this command to turn on the boost regulator:
i2cset 1 0x08 0x66 0x48
- once USB is on, I can verify/see USB drives in both USB ports. See this:

- ASIX driver module isn't built in current kconfig. Need to figure out how to turn that on. - todo bunnie
- i2c bus 3 (/dev/i2c-2) seems to be mis-configured, can't see the utility EEPROM there. Needs debugging, maybe dts is wrong? - todo bunnie
