293 | | <p> |
294 | | Issue: |
295 | | </p> |
296 | | <ul><li>The Power Management IC (PMIC) on the Ventana boards does not get reset in the event of an IMX watchdog reset. This can cause a board hang under certain circumstances: If the processor was running at 400MHz at the time the reset occurred and a PMIC driver is being used for dynamic voltage scaling which has reduced the IMX voltage rails for 400MHz operation (referred to as ldo-bypass mode). In this specific case, the IMX will come out of reset at 800MHz (per OTP fuse configuration) and the voltage rails to the IMX will be insufficient for that frequency and the board will hang in the BOOT ROM. The voltage rail differential has been found to not cause an issue on IMX6S or IMX6DL cpus and it only causes an issue on the IMX6Q. Because this is an internal reset the GSC boot watchdog (not to be confused with the standard GSC watchdog) does not get enabled. Note that an IMX watchdog reset that can cause this occurs in the following situations: watchdog timeout when using the IMX watchdog (instead of the GSC watchdog), a kernel crash, a soft reboot. |

| 130 | |
| 131 | Issue: |
| 132 | * The GW551x-A is missing some signals required for 'gated clock' capture mode and as such only YUV422 BT656 capture from the HDMI receiver is possible. In this mode any resolution over 1080p@30Hz is not supported. See here for more info. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | Work-around: |

| 176 | == HW12 IMX Watchdog reset can result in a board hang with IMX6Q |
| 177 | Issue: |
| 178 | * The Power Management IC (PMIC) on the Ventana boards does not get reset in the event of an IMX watchdog reset. This can cause a board hang under certain circumstances: If the processor was running at 400MHz at the time the reset occurred and a PMIC driver is being used for dynamic voltage scaling which has reduced the IMX voltage rails for 400MHz operation (referred to as ldo-bypass mode). In this specific case, the IMX will come out of reset at 800MHz (per OTP fuse configuration) and the voltage rails to the IMX will be insufficient for that frequency and the board will hang in the BOOT ROM. The voltage rail differential has been found to not cause an issue on IMX6S or IMX6DL cpus and it only causes an issue on the IMX6Q. Because this is an internal reset the GSC boot watchdog (not to be confused with the standard GSC watchdog) does not get enabled. Note that an IMX watchdog reset that can cause this occurs in the following situations: watchdog timeout when using the IMX watchdog (instead of the GSC watchdog), a kernel crash, a soft reboot. |
| 179 | |
299 | | </p> |
300 | | <ul><li>Use the GSC watchdog (which is a more robust means of watchdog protection as it power cycles the entire board) instead of the IMX watchdog. This means you would enable the GSC watchdog (see <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/gsc#watchdog">gsc</a>) as well as use the GSC to reboot the board (see <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/gscreboot">here</a>). |
301 | | </li><li>Disable PMIC dynamic voltage scaling below the 800MHz operating point by either: |
302 | | <ul><li>disabling Dyanmic Voltage and Scaling completely by disabling the cpufreq driver (voltage rails will always be at their maximum value) |
303 | | </li><li>disabling the PMIC driver (voltage rails will always be at their maximum value but CPU frequency is allowed to shift) |
304 | | </li><li>disable the 400MHz operating point (thus ensuring the PMIC voltage rails are always sufficient for powerup at 800MHz) |
305 | | </li><li>adjusting the 400MHz operating point voltage rails up to the 800Mhz values |
306 | | </li></ul></li></ul><p> |
307 | | Resolution: |
308 | | </p> |
309 | | <ul><li>A change has been made at the PCB level to allow the IMX6 external watchdog reset signal to reset the PMIC. This requires a kernel update (pending) as well as a bootloader update: <a class="ext-link" href="https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/cf7e51ea03ad68a86a77c5764c8712942867bcfb"><span class="icon"></span>cf7e51ea</a> |
310 | | </li><li>All Ventana BSP's are now using ldo-enabled mode which means the PMIC rails are always set at a safe-maximum and the internal IMX6 LDO further regulates the voltage as needed. This avoids the potential issue of the PMIC rails being too low at reset time. |

| 282 | == HW17 GW520x-C USB routing to miniPCIe J7 socket |
| 283 | Issue: |
| 284 | * The USB sideband signals on Mini-PCIe site J7 are non-functional. |
| 285 | |
| 286 | Work-around: |
| 287 | * Use J8 USB: Note the J8 site must be configured in software to support USB since it shares the signals with the front panel OTG port. See: |
| 288 | - [wiki:ventana/bootloader#USBFront-panelvsPCIesocketrouting bootloader USB routing config] |
| 289 | - [wiki:ventana/gw5200usb GW5200 USB[ |
| 290 | * If USB signaling is required on both sites, a wire-mod can be performed to the board by the factory. Contact support@… for more information. |

| 300 | == HW18 GW53xx-C/D/E 5V inrush current limited at 100mA |
| 301 | Issue: |
| 302 | * In order to address HW6, the 5V boost was updated to allow a max current of 1.5A. This new device was found to have an inrush current limitation of around 100mA which causes the device to go into a current limit fault condition when exceeded. Devices, such as LVDS displays, that pull more than this on power on will not reliably power on. |
| 303 | |
| 304 | Work-around: |
| 305 | * Isolate the 5V from the LVDS cable and wire it to VUSB from the front-panel USB connector. In the bootloader you need to execute usb start in order to turn on VUSB but this is not needed once the kernel boots. |

| 317 | == HW19: GW16082 irq mapping |
| 318 | Issue: |
| 319 | * The TI XIO2001 PCIe-to-PCI bridge on the GW16082 has its interrupt mapping reversed with regards to the PCI specification: |
| 320 | ||= Slot =||= proper pin1 irq =||= GW16082 pin1 irq =|| |
| 321 | || 12 || INTA || INTD || |
| 322 | || 13 || INTA || INTC || |
| 323 | || 14 || INTA || INTB || |
| 324 | || 15 || INTA || INTA || |
| 325 | |
| 326 | Work-around: |
| 327 | * for kernels that obtain irqs through device-tree mapping, a device-tree fixup can be implemented in the bootloader that provides the actual irq mapping for the XIO2001 bridge. This fixup is present in Gateworks bootloader intended for kernels based on Linux 3.18+ (PCI needs to be enabled in the bootloader for this fixup: setenv pcidisable; saveenv |
| 328 | * for kernels that do not obtain irqs through device-tree mapping, a custom swizzle function can be implemented in the kernel for use when mapping interrupts to devices downstream from the XIO2001 bridge. This fixup is present in Gateworks downstream vendor kernels based on Linux 3.10 and 3.14. |

| 336 | == VENTANA HW20: 16bit YUV HDMI capture not supported |
| 337 | Issue: |
| 338 | * The GW551x-C is missing HS/VS/PCK/DE signalling and can not capture HDMI video in 16bit synchronous mode. |
| 339 | |
| 340 | Work-around: |
| 341 | * Use bt656 mode. A [https://github.com/Gateworks/u-boot-imx6/commit/0b60446ef8345b15c2014a7fb7655de76e587bc5 bootloader fixup] is available in the latest Gateworks bootloader which configures GW551x-C to use yuv422bt656 mode instead of the default yuv422smp mode.
