Cavium connected *GPIO10* to a global reset line. + It's unclear which chips are connected, but at least the PHY and SATA chips + are connected. + +2. The 4 QLMs can be configured using DIP switches (SW1). That means only a + subset of of the available connectors is working at time. + +3. The boot source can be configure using DIP switches (SW1). + +4. The core and system clock frequency can be configured using DIP switches + (SW3 / SW2). + +5. The JTAG follows Cavium's own protocol. Support for it is missing in + OpenOCD. You have to use ARMs official hardware and software. + +## Technology + +```eval_rst ++---------------+----------------------------------------+ +| SoC | :doc:`../../soc/cavium/cn81xx/index` | ++---------------+----------------------------------------+ +| CPU | Cavium ARMv8-Quadcore `CN81XX`_ | ++---------------+----------------------------------------+ + +.. _CN81XX: https://www.cavium.com/product-octeon-tx-cn80xx-81xx.html + +``` + +## Picture + +![][cn81xx_board] + +[cn81xx_board]: cavium_cn81xx_sff_evb.jpg -- cgit v1.2.3
