Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation TC956X PCIe Ethernet Host Driver

Release Date: 26 Dec 2023

Release Version: V_01-03-59 : Limited-tested version

TC956X PCIe EMAC driver is based on "Fedora 39, kernel-6.6.1".

Compilation & Run: Need to be root user to execute the following steps.

1. By default, DMA_OFFLOAD_ENABLE is enabled. Execute following commands:

   #make clean

   #make

2. If IPA offload is not needed, disable macro DMA_OFFLOAD_ENABLE in common.h. set DMA_OFFLOAD = 0 in Makefile and execute following commands:

   #make clean

   #make

   To compile driver with load firmware header (fw.h) use the below command #make TC956X_LOAD_FW_HEADER=1

   In order to compile the Driver to include the code for applying Gen3 setting, execute Make with below argument #make TC956X_PCIE_GEN3_SETTING=1

   Please note, incase both fw.h and Gen3 settings are needed, then both arugments need to be specified.

3. Load phylink module

   #modprobe phylink

4. Load the driver

   #insmod tc956x_pcie_eth.ko pcie_link_speed=X

   In the module parameter pcie_link_speed, X is the desired PCIe Gen speed. X can be 3 or 2 or 1. Passing module parameter (pcie_link_speed=X) is optional. If module parameter is not passed, by default Gen3 speed will be selected by the driver.

   Please note that driver should be compiled using below command to use this feature: #make TC956X_PCIE_GEN3_SETTING=1

5. Remove the driver

   #rmmod tc956x_pcie_eth

Note:

1. Use below commands to advertise with Autonegotiation ON for speeds 10Gbps, 5Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps, 100Mbps and 10Mbps as ethtool speed command does not support.

   ethtool -s advertise 0x7000 autoneg on --> changes the advertisement to 10Gbps

   ethtool -s advertise 0x1000000006000 autoneg on --> changes the advertisement to 5Gbps

   ethtool -s advertise 0x800000006000 autoneg on --> changes the advertisement to 2.5Gbps

   ethtool -s advertise 0x6020 autoneg on --> changes the advertisement to 1Gbps

   ethtool -s advertise 0x6008 autoneg on --> changes the advertisement to 100Mbps

   ethtool -s advertise 0x6002 autoneg on --> changes the advertisement 10Mbps

2. Use the below command to insert the kernel module with specific modes for interfaces:

   #insmod tc956x_pcie_eth.ko mac0_interface=x mac1_interface=y

   argument info:
     mac0_interface: For PORT0 interface mode setting
     mac1_interface: For PORT1 interface mode setting
     x = [0: USXGMII, 1: XFI (default), 2: RGMII (unsupported), 3: SGMII, 4: 2500Base-X]
     y = [0: USXGMII (unsupported), 1: XFI (unsupported), 2: RGMII, 3: SGMII(default), 4: 2500Base-X]
   

   If invalid and unsupported modes are passed as kernel module parameter, the default interface mode will be selected.

3. Regarding the performance, use the below command to increase the dynamic byte queue limit

   $echo "900000" > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:03.0/0000:05:00.0/net/enp5s0f0/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/limit_min

   900000 is the random value chosen. It needs to adjust this value on their system and check "0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:03.0/0000:05:00.0/" value can be obtained from the "lspci -t" command

4. The debug counters to check the interrupt count is available.

   "#ethtool -S " needs to be executed and sample output is as below

   total_interrupts: 120109
   lpi_intr_n: 0
   pmt_intr_n: 0
   event_intr_n: 0
   tx_intr_n: 120000
   rx_intr_n: 51
   xpcs_intr_n: 0
   phy_intr_n: 46
   sw_msi_n: 12
   

   tx_intr_n = No of. Tx interrupts originating from eMAC sw_msi_n = No. of SW MSIs triggered by Systick Handler as part of optimized Tx Timer based on Systick approach. So total number of interrupts for Tx = tx_intr_n + sw_msi_n Please note that whenever Rx interruts are generated, the Host ISR will process the Tx completed descriptors too.

5. With V_01-00-07, when IPA API start_channel() is invoked for Rx direction, MAC_Address1_High is updated with 0xBF000000. This register setting is almost similar to promiscuous mode. So please install appropriate FRP instructions.

6. From V_01-00-08 onwards, Port0 ethernet interface will not be created only if there is no ethernet PHY attached to it

7. Enable TC956X_PHY_INTERRUPT_MODE_EMAC0 macro for supporting PORT0 Interrupt mode. Disable the macro if the phy driver supports only polling mode. Enable TC956X_PHY_INTERRUPT_MODE_EMAC1 macro for supporting PORT1 Interrupt mode. Disable the macro if the phy driver supports only polling mode.

8. Change below macro values for configuration of Link state L0 and L1 transaction delay. /* Link state change delay configuration for Upstream Port */ #define USP_L0s_ENTRY_DELAY (0x1FU) #define USP_L1_ENTRY_DELAY (0x3FFU)

   /* Link state change delay configuration for Downstream Port-1 */ #define DSP1_L0s_ENTRY_DELAY (0x1FU) #define DSP1_L1_ENTRY_DELAY (0x3FFU)

   /* Link state change delay configuration for Downstream Port-2 */ #define DSP2_L0s_ENTRY_DELAY (0x1FU) #define DSP2_L1_ENTRY_DELAY (0x3FFU)

   /* Link state change delay configuration for Virtual Downstream Port */ #define VDSP_L0s_ENTRY_DELAY (0x1FU) #define VDSP_L1_ENTRY_DELAY (0x3FFU)

   /* Link state change delay configuration for Internal Endpoint */ #define EP_L0s_ENTRY_DELAY (0x1FU) #define EP_L1_ENTRY_DELAY (0x3FFU)

   Formula: L0 entry delay = XXX_L0s_ENTRY_DELAY * 256 ns L1 entry delay = XXX_L1_ENTRY_DELAY * 256 ns

    XXX_L0s_ENTRY_DELAY range: 1-31
    XXX_L1_ENTRY_DELAY: 1-1023
   

9. To check vlan feature status execute: ethtool -k | grep vlan

   To enable/disable following vlan features execute: (a) rx-vlan-filter: ethtool -K rx-vlan-filter <on|off> (b) rx-vlan-offload: ethtool -K rxvlan <on|off> (c) tx-vlan-offload: ethtool -K txvlan <on|off>
