Summary: ircp failed on BF548-ezkit with default irda rate

Details:

ircp failed on BF548-ezkit with default rate(>57600).

Bellow test is based on two BF548-ezkit with irda device. The same problem also exists when communicating with irda device in Windows.

Follow-ups

This issue existed when execute ircp between BF537 and BF548.

I found, the reason is BF548 can't receive charactors in 115200 speed, when

we are transfer files use irda daughter card.

I have tested direct connecting the two uarts use crossed wires,

both the BF537, BF548 can rx/tx under 115200 speed.

The best divisor for BF548 may be 72, and 71 also work, for 131MHz sclk.

When use irda daughter card, in oscillograph,

the tx side pulse width is 1.62us, while the rx side width is 2.6us.

This cause the BF548 irda logic always can't distinguish the starting bits,

See below, BF537 send 0x55 to BF548, LSB first,

TX __|~|_________|~|_________|~|_________|~|_________|~|____...

s 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0

RX ~~~|__|~~~~~~~~|__|~~~~~~~~|__|~~~~~~~~|__|~~~~~~~~|__|~~...

s x 0 1 0 1 0 1 0

The BF548 may take it as 0x54.

(Because of the irda daughter card layout, we need to set RPOLC bit

in GCTL besides the IREN bit, so TX is upward pulse, RX is downward pulse.)

While the BF537 can receive any thing correctly.

According to the BF548 HRM 12-16, I think 2.6us width can fit the standard.

So I think BF548 irda function have bugs,

maybe in the logic dealing with the start bit.

Graf,

did you try to equalize SCLK on both boards BF537 and BF548? And then using the

same divisor?

Graf, please input the bug id which this bug is duplicated with. Then, close

this bug.

--- Graf Yang 2009-03-02 06:15:48

It's a HW issue.

Michael has reported it to "Kusstatscher, Benno"

<Benno.Kusstatscher@exchange.analog.com>.

I can't remember which bug it is duplicated with. So I set it to postponed.

This issue is tracked in the Silicon Anomaly List for BF54x.

05000447 - UART IrDA Receiver Fails on Extended Bit Pulses:

Make sure we add this to our anomaly.h file.

In the irda driver check for ANOMALY_05000447 and return if present.

Then close this bug.

I have add this anomaly into bfin_sir driver. Close it.
