Notes on Oxford Semiconductor PCIe (Tornado) 950 serial port devices
|
|
====================================================================
|
|
|
|
Oxford Semiconductor PCIe (Tornado) 950 serial port devices are driven
|
|
by a fixed 62.5MHz clock input derived from the 100MHz PCI Express clock.
|
|
|
|
The baud rate produced by the baud generator is obtained from this input
|
|
frequency by dividing it by the clock prescaler, which can be set to any
|
|
value from 1 to 63.875 in increments of 0.125, and then the usual 16-bit
|
|
divisor is used as with the original 8250, to divide the frequency by a
|
|
value from 1 to 65535. Finally a programmable oversampling rate is used
|
|
that can take any value from 4 to 16 to divide the frequency further and
|
|
determine the actual baud rate used. Baud rates from 15625000bps down
|
|
to 0.933bps can be obtained this way.
|
|
|
|
By default the oversampling rate is set to 16 and the clock prescaler is
|
|
set to 33.875, meaning that the frequency to be used as the reference
|
|
for the usual 16-bit divisor is 115313.653, which is close enough to the
|
|
frequency of 115200 used by the original 8250 for the same values to be
|
|
used for the divisor to obtain the requested baud rates by software that
|
|
is unaware of the extra clock controls available.
|
|
|
|
The oversampling rate is programmed with the TCR register and the clock
|
|
prescaler is programmed with the CPR/CPR2 register pair [OX200]_ [OX952]_
|
|
[OX954]_ [OX958]_. To switch away from the default value of 33.875 for
|
|
the prescaler the enhanced mode has to be explicitly enabled though, by
|
|
setting bit 4 of the EFR. In that mode setting bit 7 in the MCR enables
|
|
the prescaler or otherwise it is bypassed as if the value of 1 was used.
|
|
Additionally writing any value to CPR clears CPR2 for compatibility with
|
|
old software written for older conventional PCI Oxford Semiconductor
|
|
devices that do not have the extra prescaler's 9th bit in CPR2, so the
|
|
CPR/CPR2 register pair has to be programmed in the right order.
|
|
|
|
By using these parameters rates from 15625000bps down to 1bps can be
|
|
obtained, with either exact or highly-accurate actual bit rates for
|
|
standard and many non-standard rates.
|
|
|
|
Here are the figures for the standard and some non-standard baud rates
|
|
(including those quoted in Oxford Semiconductor documentation), giving
|
|
the requested rate (r), the actual rate yielded (a) and its deviation
|
|
from the requested rate (d), and the values of the oversampling rate
|
|
(tcr), the clock prescaler (cpr) and the divisor (div) produced by the
|
|
new ``get_divisor`` handler:

With the baud base set to 15625000 and the unsigned 16-bit UART_DIV_MAX
|
|
limitation imposed by ``serial8250_get_baud_rate`` standard baud rates
|
|
below 300bps become unavailable in the regular way, e.g. the rate of
|
|
200bps requires the baud base to be divided by 78125 and that is beyond
|
|
the unsigned 16-bit range. The historic spd_cust feature can still be
|
|
used by encoding the values for, the prescaler, the oversampling rate
|
|
and the clock divisor (DLM/DLL) as follows to obtain such rates if so
|
|
required:

|
|
|
|
Use a value such encoded for the ``custom_divisor`` field along with the
|
|
ASYNC_SPD_CUST flag set in the ``flags`` field in ``struct serial_struct``
|
|
passed with the TIOCSSERIAL ioctl(2), such as with the setserial(8)
|
|
utility and its ``divisor`` and ``spd_cust`` parameters, and then select
|
|
the baud rate of 38400bps. Note that the value of 0 in TCR sets the
|
|
oversampling rate to 16 and prescaler values below 1 in CPR2/CPR are
|
|
clamped by the driver to 1.
|
|
|
|
For example the value of 0x1f4004e2 will set CPR2/CPR, TCR and DLM/DLL
|
|
respectively to 0x1f4, 0x0 and 0x04e2, choosing the prescaler value,
|
|
the oversampling rate and the clock divisor of 62.500, 16 and 1250
|
|
respectively. These parameters will set the baud rate for the serial
|
|
port to 62500000 / 62.500 / 1250 / 16 = 50bps.
