+* Texas Instruments CPSW ethernet driver
+
+Multiqueue & CBS & MQPRIO
+=====================================================================
+=====================================================================
+
+The cpsw has 3 CBS shapers for each external ports. This document
+describes MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload configuration for cpsw driver
+based on examples. It potentially can be used in audio video bridging
+(AVB) and time sensitive networking (TSN).
+
+The following examples were tested on AM572x EVM and BBB boards.
+
+Test setup
+==========
+
+Under consideration two examples with AM572x EVM running cpsw driver
+in dual_emac mode.
+
+Several prerequisites:
+- TX queues must be rated starting from txq0 that has highest priority
+- Traffic classes are used starting from 0, that has highest priority
+- CBS shapers should be used with rated queues
+- The bandwidth for CBS shapers has to be set a little bit more then
+ potential incoming rate, thus, rate of all incoming tx queues has
+ to be a little less
+- Real rates can differ, due to discreetness
+- Map skb-priority to txq is not enough, also skb-priority to l2 prio
+ map has to be created with ip or vconfig tool
+- Any l2/socket prio (0 - 7) for classes can be used, but for
+ simplicity default values are used: 3 and 2
+- only 2 classes tested: A and B, but checked and can work with more,
+ maximum allowed 4, but only for 3 rate can be set.
+
+Test setup for examples

+
+
+ Caveats:
+
+ I am not sure if 100BaseTX daughterboards (for those cards which
+ support such things) will work. I haven't had any solid evidence
+ either way.
+
+ However, if a card supports 100BaseTx without requiring an add
+ on daughterboard, it should work with 100BaseTx.
+
+ The "Netelligent 10 T/2 PCI UTP/Coax" (b012) device is untested,
+ but I do not expect any problems.
+
+
+II. Driver Options
+ 1. You can append debug=x to the end of the insmod line to get
+ debug messages, where x is a bit field where the bits mean
+ the following:
+
+ 0x01 Turn on general debugging messages.
+ 0x02 Turn on receive debugging messages.
+ 0x04 Turn on transmit debugging messages.
+ 0x08 Turn on list debugging messages.
+
+ 2. You can append aui=1 to the end of the insmod line to cause
+ the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T
+ interface. This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC
+ connector on a TLAN based device. (Setting this option on a
+ device that does not have an AUI/BNC connector will probably
+ cause it to not function correctly.)
+
+ 3. You can set duplex=1 to force half duplex, and duplex=2 to
+ force full duplex.
+
+ 4. You can set speed=10 to force 10Mbs operation, and speed=100
+ to force 100Mbs operation. (I'm not sure what will happen
+ if a card which only supports 10Mbs is forced into 100Mbs
+ mode.)
+
+ 5. You have to use speed=X duplex=Y together now. If you just
+ do "insmod tlan.o speed=100" the driver will do Auto-Neg.
+ To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10
+ duplex=1".
+
+ 6. If the driver is built into the kernel, you can use the 3rd
+ and 4th parameters to set aui and debug respectively. For
+ example:
+
+ ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0
+
+ This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a
+ supported TLAN device.
+
+ The bits in the third byte are assigned as follows:
+
+ 0x01 = aui
+ 0x02 = use half duplex
+ 0x04 = use full duplex
+ 0x08 = use 10BaseT
+ 0x10 = use 100BaseTx
+
+ You also need to set both speed and duplex settings when forcing
+ speeds with kernel-parameters.
+ ether=0,0,0x12,0,eth0 will force link to 100Mbps Half-Duplex.
+
+ 7. If you have more than one tlan adapter in your system, you can
+ use the above options on a per adapter basis. To force a 100Mbit/HD
+ link with your eth1 adapter use:
+
+ insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1
+
+ Now eth0 will use auto-neg and eth1 will be forced to 100Mbit/HD.
+ Note that the tlan driver supports a maximum of 8 adapters.
+
+
+III. Things to try if you have problems.
+ 1. Make sure your card's PCI id is among those listed in
+ section I, above.
+ 2. Make sure routing is correct.
+ 3. Try forcing different speed/duplex settings
+
+
+There is also a tlan mailing list which you can join by sending "subscribe tlan"
+in the body of an email to majordomo@vuser.vu.union.edu.
