Chip Errata for the i.MX 6Dual/6Quad and i.MX 6DualPlus/6QuadPlus, Rev. 6.1, 06/2016
NXP Semiconductors
99
Description:
When the MAC receives shorter frames (size 64 bytes) at a rate exceeding the average line-rate
burst traffic of 400 Mbps the DMA is able to absorb, the receiver might drop incoming frames
before a Pause frame is issued.
Projected Impact:
No malfunction will result aside from the frame drops.
Workarounds:
The application might want to implement some flow control to ensure the line-rate burst traffic is
below 400 Mbps if it only uses consecutive small frames with minimal (96 bit times) or short
Inter-frame gap (IFG) time following large frames at such a high rate. The limit does not exist for
frames of size larger than 800 bytes.
Proposed Solution:
No fix scheduled
Linux BSP Status:
Workaround possible but not implemented in the BSP, impacting functionality as described above.
