VAR-SOM-AM62 Rev. 1.1A

Hardware Modifications

Removal of RGMII TX CLK delay filters on both Ethernet interfaces.

The RGMII spec requires a skew between the clock and data at the receiver. On previous assemblies, the delay was introduced on the SOM via an inline filter on the TX (MAC) clk of each Ethernet instance and the SOC internal RGMII Clock Transmit delay was disabled. The latest AM62 Reference Manual removed the documentation of the option to disable this SOC internal delay. Therefore, the filters have been bypassed starting with this SOM revision and thus require additional software patches for proper Ethernet functionality. See the tables below for more information.
