Enabling USB port configuration #4 on L4T 28.1 on custom carrier

Hi, we are having issues getting our USB ports to function on our custom carrier board. A lot of the information available on this forum seems to be for previous L4T releases, and we are not having much luck getting it to work.

So our USB lanes are configured as in the below table. We are not using PCIe at all. We have put on power regulators with enable pins attached to pins A17, A18 and A19.

.	PEX_RFU	PEX2	USB_SS1	PEX0	USB_SS0
.	USB1		USB2		USB0
TX	D42:43		D39:40		C43:44
RX	G42:43		G39:40		F43:44
D	A38:39 (utmi-2)	B39:40 (utmi-0)	B42:43

I have set ODMDATA to 0x7090000.
I tried to follow the instructions here https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1007448/jetson-tx2/differences-between-tx2-module-revisions/post/5144986/#5144986 but these cfg files seem to have changed somewhat since the last release, so I’m not sure what needs to be done to the cfg files at this stage.

I made changes to the tegra186-quill-p3310-1000-a00-00-base.dts file based on the configuration that seemed to work here.

Specifically it now looks like this

	};

	pinctrl@3520000 {

			usb3-port2 {
				nvidia,lanes = "usb3-2";
				nvidia,port-cap = <TEGRA_PADCTL_PORT_HOST_ONLY>;
				nvidia,oc-pin = <1>;
			};
		};
	};
	pcie-controller@10003000 {
		status = "okay";
		pci@1,0 {
			nvidia,num-lanes = <2>;
			status = "disabled";
		};
		pci@2,0 {
			nvidia,num-lanes = <1>;
			status = "disabled";
		};
		pci@3,0 {
			nvidia,num-lanes = <1>;
			status = "disabled";
		};
	};

It’s all built using the instructions here https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1025464/jetson-tx2/what-are-the-minimum-lines-of-commands-to-update-device-tree-from-a-host-for-tx2-/post/5228121/#5228121, and then flashed with sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel-dtb jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1.

The end result of all of this is that none of the USB ports work at all. We do have the Ethernet port functioning if that’s at all relevant.
The result of dmesg | grep usb is

I’m not sure what to look at at this stage, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi gareth,
Please refer to
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1024105/jetson-tx2/tx2-usb2-0-not-working-how-to-fix-it/post/5210056/#5210056
https://elinux.org/Jetson/TX2_USB
With the patch, the error should disappear:

[    4.908631] xhci-tegra 3530000.xhci: can't get usb3-0 phy (-517)

And an example:

Brilliant, thank you! With that patch the USB 2 ports work just fine. lsusb also shows the Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub, however USB 3 functionality doesn’t seem to be working yet. I reverted the bootloader/t186ref/BCT/tegra186-mb1-bct-pmic-quill-p3310-1000-c0*.cfg back to stock, and made changes to a00-00-base.dts based on the example you suggested, and copied the phys to c03-00-base and a00-plugin-manager. This is what I have in the a00-00-base now

And this is the result of dmesg | grep usb again.

Am I just making a silly mistake in the config somewhere that’s causing USB 3 not to connect?

Hi gareth,
Please check your device tree via xxd.
Please refer to [url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1023160/jetson-tx2/tx2-using-pcix1-instead-of-usb3-default-config-1-/post/5208073/#5208073[/url]

Hi DaneLLL

I am working with Gareth on this one. Good news is, we’ve got USB2 (UTMI) working on all three ports and USB3.0 on both Type A ports.
Just USB3.0 on the Type C connector gives us a headache,

./64_TX2/Linux_for_Tegra/p2771-0000.conf.common
ODMDATA = 0x7090000
(for lanes 4,2 and 1)

Bits (2 ~ 0) specify the IP owning the lane
SEL:

We are aware that we need to toggle QSPI_IO2 dependent on the orientation of the connector but currently it only connects as USB2 both ways:

Hi tfrh, which pins do you connect to the type C connector?

.	PEX1 	USB_SS0	
.	USB_C_1	USB_C_2
TX	E41:42	C43:44	(usb3)
RX	H41:42	F43:44	(usb3)
D_p,D_n	B42:43	 	(utmi-3)

VBUS switch works.
UTMI works (works both ways, unsurprisingly, because of the way it is physically routed with as small as possible stubs)

CC1 and CC2 go to TUSB321 which outputs the directional signal for the connector orientation (works)
This, if I understood right, should be fed into GPO QSPI2.
SBU unconnected.
Shield decoupled according to EMI guidelines.

Hi tfrh,
Yor HW design may not work. QSPI IO2 is switched by configuring:
[url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1029115/jetson-tx2/tx2-usb-lane-mapping-configs-4/post/5235474/#5235474[/url]

It routes to PEX1 in setting status=“okay” and routes to USB_SS0 in setting status=“disabled”. however, in your design, you want to switch it per Type-C orinetation, which may not work fine. We only verify the case it it settled down in initialization, either USB_SS0 or PEX1 and there is no dynamic switch.

We suggest keep routing to PEX1(or USB_SS0) and handle Type-C orientation outside TX2.

Could I reconfigure lane 3, 4 or 5 (PEX2, PEX0 or SATA) to a USB3 lane and connect that to one orientation on the Type C connector in a future re-spin of the board? (Because of the data rate I need two dedicated ports for the Type C connector).

Do I understand correctly that lane 0 (USB_SS0) and therefore one of the orientations of the connector should work?
In this case I guess the value at this address should be 0 and not a reserved value.

Hi tfrh,
For USB type C, there are 4 pins TX+ TX- RX+ RX- connecting to TX2 USB 3-0 or USB3-1 or USB 3-2.

The design you propose does not work.

Thanks for your response.
Type C has 8 pins for USB3.0 (two differential pairs TX/RX for each orientation). Because of the data rate they have to be routed directly pin to pin without stubs. So one pair from the TX2 cannot be routed to two pairs on the type C connector.

  1. Do I understand correctly that there is no way to configure more than three USB3.0 ports on the TX2?
  2. How do I configure the third USB port (at address 0x7fb47f8000) correctly so that I can use it?

Hi tfrh,
About USB Type C on TX2, we have NVIDIA USB core team to give above suggestions but it looks like we still have different thoughts about the design. Please contact your region salesperson. Let’s see if we can have further cooperation through business process.

Here is another post about config #4:
[url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1030635/jetson-tx2/tx2-config-4-for-usb-lane-mapping/post/5243174/#5243174[/url]

I found the missing information about the number of available USB3 ports:
Only three USB3 are available (Parker_TRM_DP07821001p.pdf, Page 3365)

Gareth did not include a dedicated crossbar switch into the design because of this post:

[url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1026909/usb-c-connector-using-onboard-usb-and-pci-e-mux/#5222950[/url]

Hi tfrh,
Please share your HW schematics for reference.

The suggestion in the post may work from HW perspective, but is not verified. QSPI IO2 is not designed for dynamic configuration.

Please find the relevant parts from the schematics in the link provided.
We designed the schematics keeping as close as possible to the development kit. Same with the PCB layout, though, we were more restricted here because of much smaller PCB dimensions.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1o9Ius6ws2twSzYdew8R0er9RHAHRPamL?usp=sharing

So my two remaining questions are

  1. is dynamic configuration possible with our design (by using QSPI IO2 or elsewise) ?
  2. why does no orientation currently work in USB3 mode?

Even if it is not possible to configure the port multiplexer in real time, one configuration should work when configured like the two regular USB3 ports, shouldn’t it?

Hi tfrh,
Please remove all pcie0_lane2_mux from device tree and check if you can dynamically switch high/low of QSPI IO2.

Hello DaneLLL

If you meant the removal of pcie0_lane2_mux in tegra186-quill-p3310-1000-a00-plugin-manager.dtsi fragment-500-e3325-pcie, that whole fragment was already disabled removed.

The first two calls show the detected configuration with the mass storage in the USB Type C interface in both orientations. The last two are with it inserted into the two Type A receptacles.

Hi tfrh,
The removal is to remove it from device tree.

https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/jetson-tx2-tx2i-oem-product-designguide
Please check oem design guide. If you keep it ‘disabled’ in device tree, PEX_TX0_P, PEX_TX0_N, PEX_RX0_P, PEX_RX0_N are fixed to C43, C44, F43, F44. If you keep it ‘okay’ in device tree, PEX_TX0_P, PEX_TX0_N, PEX_RX0_P, PEX_RX0_N are fixed to E41, E42, H41, H42.

This is the original design as I mentioned in
[url]https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1029106/jetson-tx2/enabling-usb-port-configuration-4-on-l4t-28-1-on-custom-carrier/post/5246342/#5246342[/url]

By removing it, you should be able to control the GPIO high/low to do dynamic switch.

Hi DaneLLL

I see that my wording was ambiguous. By disabled fragments I meant removed from the dts-file with c-style comments. I edited the previous post to make that more obvious.
I now also removed the block with pcie0_lane2_mux from tegra186-quill-common-p3310-1000-a00.dtsi

/*		pcie0_lane2_mux {
			gpio-hog;
			gpios = <TEGRA_MAIN_GPIO(R, 3) 0>;
			output-low;
			label = "pcie-lane2-mux";
			status = "disabled";
		};*/

So my configuration should enable me to test the dynamic switching.

To test the effect of toggling QSPI_IO2 (GPIO3_PR.03, gpio459 with an offset of 320) I need USB on the type C connector to establish a link in super speed/USB3 mode in one of the mechanical insertion orientations. So far I managed only to have it establish high speed/USB2 connections. Changing QSPI_IO2 has so far no effect on that outcome.

I have the feeling I permuted now through the information available here:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1002494/jetson-tx2/usb-lane-mapping/post/5120417/#5120417
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1025154/jetson-tx2/the-tx2-cannot-drive-usb3-0-and-pcie-devices/2

and I checked for any updates in the Platform adaptation and bring-up guide
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/assets/embedded/secure/jetson/TX2/docs/Tegra_Linux_Driver_Package_TX2_Adaptation_Guide.pdf?OxwQd0N2_ERmK-52dwMm_GXziMP9HBggMPUphnSFjggd74Z5xcq0HWjFne8Qu_t2x77n7V8C7Ef4aRA6ClNnAl7GHnm0eZmrtw4_-Y0C2ozshtWXzR6B5FwHRx0xHHzPy-Cq1NbD-EPFBREw4lf6HXsA0TK0hN4e1yXf8T_EskokHNRxic_MzpQ2vy6ltvpi_2f-3vIx_kw5

Are there any other places to look where something could be misconfigured?

Hi tfrh,
After the device is plugged in, can you reset VBUS and see if it can be detected as USB3?
