Re: Problem with mini-PCI-E slot on P2020RDB

From: Fabian Bertholm <hidden>

Hello Kushwaha Prabhakar,

Our impression is that there is the same issue on the P1020/P1011 RDB.
Can you confirm this?

Best Regards,
Fabe

Thanks a lot. If I understand you correctly, the only way I can get
ath9k driver to work on this board using legacy interrupts is to
wait for a hardware fix. Right ?
Correct
I'm confused. =A0What's the issue with IRQ0 on the P2020RDB? =A0Is it
used for another purpose?
There's a problem with IRQ0 with respect to mini-PCI-E slot. I have
Atheros wireless card plugged into it. ath9k wireless driver for this
card uses legacy PCI-E interrupts, and I get "irq 16: nobody cared"
message when driver executes request_irq(). Vivek has come to a
conclusion that the problem is related to incorrect IRQ0 routing for
mini-PCI-E slot on P2020RDB.
I would like to understand this issue better, as I seem to be running
into something similar, and it puts my board design on hold.

Can someone (from Freescale) explain what happens if a PCI Express end
point on the mini-PCIe slot raises a legacy interrupt, and where this
goes wrong?

From what document or source code file can I conclude that the PCIe
legacy interrupt is shared with IRQ0?


I found this:

P1020E/P2020E RDB System Errata, Last Update: 2/15/2010:
Problem:IRQ0 held low
Fix: Add 4.7K pull-up (to 3.3.V) for RTC_INT_N.
See R420 in Rev D schematic.
Add 4.7K pull-up (to 3.3.V) for MCU_INT_N.
See R423 in Rev D schematic.
Hello Leon,

=A0Yes you are right, PCIe leagacy interrupt is shared with IRQ0. For Ath=
eros issue.
=A0Can you please try followings, Meanwhile I will try to dig into it.

Regarding sata_sil24, Please see my e-mail on Linux-ide for correct IDSEL=
 value.
Please first try IDSEL value mentioned in email on Linux-ide. Then try th=
