Hi Cedric,

After discussing with the I2C hardware designers, we confirmed that the I2c 
design in AST2600 and AST2700 A1 is the same.
The datasheet will be updated accordingly for AST2700.

However, please note that bit 15 and bit 31 are not available on AST2700 A0 and 
FW do not set either bit 15 and bit 31.
AST2700 A0 was an engineering sample version. Given this, I plan to resend the 
v3 patch with AST2700 A0 explicitly marked as unsupported.

Are you going to introduce an I2C property to distinguish the
A0 implementation for the A1 ?

I prefer not to introduce workarounds specifically for AST2700 A0, as it is not 
a production-grade silicon.

We can deprecate the AST2700 A0 machine too, See 56a37eda93ed,
and change the ast2700-evb machine alias.

I will resend the v3 patch with the same content as v1, since the only issue in 
v1 was a functional test failure on AST2700 A0.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding.

That's ok. Nothing is merged. Let's get it right first.

Thanks,

C.




Thanks-Jamin

Subject: [PATCH v2] hw/i2c/aspeed: Fix wrong I2CC_DMA_LEN when
I2CM_DMA_TX/RX_ADDR set first

In the previous design, the I2C model would update I2CC_DMA_LEN (0x54)
based on the value of I2CM_DMA_LEN (0x1C) when the firmware set either
I2CM_DMA_TX_ADDR
(0x30) or I2CM_DMA_RX_ADDR (0x34). However, this only worked correctly if
the firmware set I2CM_DMA_LEN before setting I2CM_DMA_TX_ADDR or
I2CM_DMA_RX_ADDR.

If the firmware instead set I2CM_DMA_TX_ADDR or I2CM_DMA_RX_ADDR
before setting I2CM_DMA_LEN, the value written to I2CC_DMA_LEN would be
incorrect.

Ideally, this issue should be resolved by updating the model to set
I2CC_DMA_LEN (0x54) when the firmware writes to the I2CM_DMA_LEN
(0x1C) register, instead of when it writes to I2CM_DMA_TX_ADDR (0x30) or
I2CM_DMA_RX_ADDR (0x34).

Originally, the design of I2CM_DMA_LEN (0x1C) included buffer length
write-enable bits for the current command:
Bit 31 enabled the RX buffer length update Bit 15 enabled the TX buffer length
update

In other words, when the firmware set either bit 31 or bit 15, the I2C model
could safely update I2CC_DMA_LEN (0x54) with the value in I2CM_DMA_LEN
(0x1C).

However, starting with the AST2700, the design of the I2CM_DMA_LEN (0x1C)
register was changed. The write-enable bits (bit 31 and bit 15) were removed,
meaning there is no longer an explicit indication of whether the firmware
intends to update the TX or RX length.

As a result, on AST2700 and newer SoCs, the model cannot reliably determine
whether a write to I2CM_DMA_LEN was meant for TX or RX. This ambiguity is
especially problematic when the value written is 0, which actually corresponds
to a DMA length of 1.

To ensure consistent behavior across all SoCs, the model now updates
I2CC_DMA_LEN when I2CM_CMD (0x18) is written, as this is the final
command that initiates a TX or RX transfer and reflects the firmware’s intent
more clearly.
