SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +==================================================================== +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: + +:: + + r: 15625000, a: 15625000.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 4, cpr: 1.000, div: 1 + r: 12500000, a: 12500000.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 5, cpr: 1.000, div: 1 + r: 10416666, a: 10416666.67, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 6, cpr: 1.000, div: 1 + r: 8928571, a: 8928571.43, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 7, cpr: 1.000, div: 1 + r: 7812500, a: 7812500.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 8, cpr: 1.000, div: 1 + r: 4000000, a: 4000000.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 5, cpr: 3.125, div: 1 + r: 3686400, a: 3676470.59, d: -0.2694%, tcr: 8, cpr: 2.125, div: 1 + r: 3500000, a: 3496503.50, d: -0.0999%, tcr: 13, cpr: 1.375, div: 1 + r: 3000000, a: 2976190.48, d: -0.7937%, tcr: 14, cpr: 1.500, div: 1 + r: 2500000, a: 2500000.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 10, cpr: 2.500, div: 1 + r: 2000000, a: 2000000.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 10, cpr: 3.125, div: 1 + r: 1843200, a: 1838235.29, d: -0.2694%, tcr: 16, cpr: 2.125, div: 1 + r: 1500000, a: 1492537.31, d: -0.4975%, tcr: 5, cpr: 8.375, div: 1 + r: 1152000, a: 1152073.73, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 14, cpr: 3.875, div: 1 + r: 921600, a: 919117.65, d: -0.2694%, tcr: 16, cpr: 2.125, div: 2 + r: 576000, a: 576036.87, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 14, cpr: 3.875, div: 2 + r: 460800, a: 460829.49, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 7, cpr: 3.875, div: 5 + r: 230400, a: 230414.75, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 14, cpr: 3.875, div: 5 + r: 115200, a: 115207.37, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 14, cpr: 1.250, div: 31 + r: 57600, a: 57603.69, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 8, cpr: 3.875, div: 35 + r: 38400, a: 38402.46, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 14, cpr: 3.875, div: 30 + r: 19200, a: 19201.23, d: 0.0064%, tcr: 8, cpr: 3.875, div: 105 + r: 9600, a: 9600.06, d: 0.0006%, tcr: 9, cpr: 1.125, div: 643 + r: 4800, a: 4799.98, d: -0.0004%, tcr: 7, cpr: 2.875, div: 647 + r: 2400, a: 2400.02, d: 0.0008%, tcr: 9, cpr: 2.250, div: 1286 + r: 1200, a: 1200.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 14, cpr: 2.875, div: 1294 + r: 300, a: 300.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 11, cpr: 2.625, div: 7215 + r: 200, a: 200.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 16, cpr: 1.250, div: 15625 + r: 150, a: 150.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 13, cpr: 2.250, div: 14245 + r: 134, a: 134.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 11, cpr: 2.625, div: 16153 + r: 110, a: 110.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 12, cpr: 1.000, div: 47348 + r: 75, a: 75.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 4, cpr: 5.875, div: 35461 + r: 50, a: 50.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 16, cpr: 1.250, div: 62500 + r: 25, a: 25.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 16, cpr: 2.500, div: 62500 + r: 4, a: 4.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 16, cpr: 20.000, div: 48828 + r: 2, a: 2.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 16, cpr: 40.000, div: 48828 + r: 1, a: 1.00, d: 0.0000%, tcr: 16, cpr: 63.875, div: 61154 + +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.
