UpXtreme SPI data checksum error

in UP Xtreme Troubleshooting and FAQs

My code running on UpXtreme reports Checksum Error when communicating via SPI.
It's very strange that the same code works well on Upboard.
The pinout of Xtreme and Upboard seems has no difference.

    Thanks for reporting the issue.

    Is the operating system the same?

    Are you using the right kernel for UP Xtreme (kernel 5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04)?

    Upboard: kernel 4.4.86-rt99 on Ubuntu18.04
    UpXtreme: kernel 5.2.21-rt15 on Ubuntu18.04

    Do you mean only kernel 5.0 is supported by UpXtreme?

    I start Ubuntu18.04 with kernel 5.0.0-1-lowlatency, the same problem with SPI checksum.

    Yes the UP Xtreme is supported by our kernel that you can install via our PPA:
    https://wiki.up-community.org/Ubuntu#Install_Ubuntu_kernel_5.0.0_for_UP_Xtreme_only_from_PPA_on_Ubuntu_18.04

    You cannot use default Ubuntu kernels for any UP system if you want to use our 40pin header or you would need to integrate/port manually the pinctrl patches.

    I use the kernel that UPXtreme recommended from here, and I had installed the pinctrl patches.
    https://launchpad.net/~aaeonaeu/+archive/ubuntu/upboard/+packages
    linux-image-unsigned-5.0.0-1-lowlatency Linux kernel image for version 5.0.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

    The SPI-tool shows the configuration of spidev as below:
    root@hcdog001:# spi-config -d /dev/spidev0.0 -q
    /dev/spidev0.0: mode=0, lsb=0, bits=8, speed=10000000, spiready=0
    root@hcdog001:# spi-config -d /dev/spidev0.1 -q
    /dev/spidev0.1: mode=0, lsb=0, bits=8, speed=12000000, spiready=0

    Is there any problem?

    Hi, DCleri
    Could you please tell me the maximum speed of the SPI of UPXtreme?
    I found when I slow down the speed to 2M, the checksum passed.
    when SPI speed >3M+, checksum failed.

    but my code need to communicate via SPI with 6M speed.
    I can not understand why UpBoard can work well on 6M, but UPXtreme failed.

    are you using the same hardware configuration?

    Cable/peripherals, layout, etc.?

    Can you share a picture of it and a block diagram?

    I found that it takes more than 100ms for spi ioctrl on UP Xtreme (5.0.0-1-lowlatency kernel).

    We haven't tested the maximum speed achievable, in theory 6Mbps should be achievable but we need to investigate the issue and it can take some time.

    If you can help providing examples and setup where you are encountering the issue (e.g. software used, SPI devices used, hardware layout of the test, etc.) it would be great.

    We can confirm that there is an issue with the SPI kernel driver up to version 5.3.4 where you can reach a maximum speed without errors of 3.6Mbps (when set max speed of 12Mhz)

    From kernel 5.3.5 onwards (including 5.4) you can go up to 11.3Mbps (when set max speed of 12Mhz)

    We are currently working on upgrading our kernel support to 5.4 LTS (for both Ubuntu and Yocto), which will be available later this year.

    Hi, I meet the similar problems. When I set spi_speed >= 1.5MHZ, the checksum error occurs. My system is ubuntu20.04 with kernel:
    Linux miniarcdog 5.4.66-rt38 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Sun Apr 30 23:31:45 CST 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
    Can anyone helps me...
