=== Ten64, WHLE-LS1, and HoneyComb Links: + link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/BjoernZeeb/[My wiki page with links to some status] URL: link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/BjoernZeeb/[] + Contact: Bjoern A. Zeeb <[email protected]> Solid-Run's HoneyComb, Traverse Technologies's Ten64 and some versions of Conclusive Engineering's WHLE-LS1 all are NXP based platforms with the Data Path Acceleration Architecture Gen2 (DPAA2). Work has happened to support or improve support for peripherals on these boards. For DPAA2 I have local changes which will need review (or further discussion): * Cleanup of memac (MDIO) code reducing bus attachment (ACPI and FDT specific) code into more common code. * Cleanup of MC bus attachment code (again ACPI, FDT). * For reasons of mii_fdt.c support on some PHYs on FDT-based platforms restructure MAC/MII code and mostly migrate it out of the network interface (NI). * Improve Dmitry Salychev's (dsl) initial SFF/SFP code, prototyping a bus similar to MII for SFP with the hope that with more work it can grow into a larger, general FreeBSD framework and hooked it up to DPMAC. * With this, minimal support (still fairly hacked up) for "managed" SFP+ mode (using the Ten64 terminology) is usable on FDT-based systems using DAC and fiber cables. * Add more sysctl statistics to DPMAC and NI. In short, I mostly cleaned up some of the mess I contributed to during the initial bring-up. For the LS1088a based WHLE-LS1 systems changes include: * device-tree file updates. * Added support for the PCA9546 I2C Switch (committed). * Added basic support for the PCAL6524 24-bit Fm+ I2C-bus/SMBus I/O expander. * Added basic support for the PCA9633 4-bit Fm+ I2C-bus LED driver to drive the status LEDs. * Added support to program the man:rgephy[4] LEDs (which needs to be validated). * Started testing the eMMC with MMCCAM and GENERIC but had trouble (needs further investigation, seemed fine from firmware for updates). * Tested one of three PCIe slots and USB fine. For the Ten64: * Most of the basic lifting happened a while ago and it has generally been usable. * Detecting the VSC8514 PHY as such went in end of last year. * Used as the default platform to test the DPAA2 changes and SFP/SFP+ code. In addition Pierre-Luc Drouin has overhauled the Vybrid I2C support now attaching and working on both FDT- and ACPI-based systems (committed).
