Chip Errata for the i.MX 6Dual/6Quad and i.MX 6DualPlus/6QuadPlus, Rev. 6.1, 06/2016

NXP Semiconductors
Description:
The theoretical maximum performance of 1 Gbps ENET is limited to 470 Mbps (total for Tx and
Rx). The actual measured performance in an optimized environment is up to 400 Mbps.
Projected Impact:
Minor. Limitation of ENET throughput to around 400 Mbps. ENET remains fully compatible to
1Gb standard in terms of protocol and physical signaling. If the TX and RX peak data rate is higher
than 400 Mbps, there is a risk of ENET RX FIFO overrun.
Workarounds:
There is no workaround for the throughput limitation. To prevent overrun of the ENET RX FIFO,
enable pause frame.
Proposed Solution:
No fix scheduled
Linux BSP Status:
Workaround possible but not implemented in the BSP, impacting functionality as described above.
