Subject: About PCIe PRBS loopback
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2015 10:21:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <567994C6.8040604@broadcom.com> (raw)
Hi,
We have a PCIe Serdes that is capable of generating some PRBS loopback
test. Our HW team is using this test to validate the PCIe interfaces on
our boards. To trigger this test, it requires us to configure the Serdes
by writing to its registers through an internal MDIO interface.
Does it make any sense to have a standalone kernel driver for this type
of test? Or test code like this should really belong to a bootloader
like UEFI or something similar?
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks,
Ray
