I'm working on a SoC which embeds an IP block from GDA Technologies
labeled "Pravega USB3 SuperSpeed Controller" (data-sheet is v0.99r
dated 2014-01-29). A cursory search returns:
http://www.sourcing.co.jp/prod_ip.htm
http://www.sourcing.co.jp/prod_ip/usb_host_pb.pdf
In the compliance section, the data-sheet lists:
- USB 3.0 Revision 1.0 and all associated ECNs
- Inter-Chip Supplement to the USB Revision 3.0 Specification, Revision 1.02
- Backward compatible with USB2.0 Revision 2.0 and all associated ECNs
- High Speed Inter Chip Specification, Rev 1.0 and associated ECNs
- USB 2.0 Link Power Management Addendum and associated Erratas
- xHCI specification version 1.0 (in host mode)
My question is: should I be able to use the generic XHCI driver to
drive this controller?
yes, you should. BUT... is this controller dual-role? If it is, then
it'd be nice to support both roles.
Dual-role means OTG? or just static host/device?
AFAIU, my version of the controller only supports host-mode.
(The Makefile builds xhci-plat-hcd.o but I don't see xhci-plat-hcd.c
Is it a generated file?)
The makefile is smart enough to figure it out. Don't worry. Kernel's
build system knows that it needs xhci-plat-hcd.c in order to build
xhci-plat-hcd.o
Oh, I wasn't worried. I was curious how/where that file is generated.
One more thing: AFAIU, the USB PHY is made by Synopsys.
Do I need a driver for that too? (I should examine 7b8ef22ea547)
IIRC there are no registers to be configured on Synopsys PHY, so no.
I looked more closely at the SoC documentation, which lists registers
such as
0x0 CONFIG
0x4 CONTROL
0x8 TEST
0xC STATUS
0x10 CLK_RST_0
0x14 CLK_RST_1
0x18 PARAM_0
0x1C PARAM_1
0x20 PARAM_2
0x80 SNPS_CR_ADD
0x84 SNPS_CR_DATA
0xC0 RESET_CTRL
For example, PARAM_1 contains a field "TX De-emphasis at 6 dB".
That's PHY stuff, right?
Are registers such as PHY_TIMER_REGISTER or LTSSM_* standard in USB3/XHCI,
or is that PHY stuff too?
Not part of xhci standard at least,
