AM3358: DDR3 timing and SI issue

Part Number:AM3358

From customer:

 

We are currently performing SI tests on a new design where we are using a TI AM3358 ZCZ.

 

Timing and signal integrity looks a bit strange on the DDR3 Interface

 

Below is a measurement of a write data eye DQS1 is orange in the back and the colored data eye is D9.

 

Interface voltage 1.35V

DQS1: Etch Length is 18.2mm, trace is 80 Ohm Diff

D9 : Etch length 19.3mm, trace is 40 Ohm single

 

I see in the AM335x errata sheet, that there is an issue with HW read / write leveling, and I also found a TI WIKI describing a procedure for SW R/W leveling.

 

Currently the SW loads these registers with following value.

 

DATAx_PHY_RD_DQS_SLAVE_RATIO = 0x38

DATAx_PHY_WR_DQS_SLAVE_RATIO = 0x35

DATAx_PHY_FIFO_WE_SLAVE_RATIO = 0x9D

DATAx_PHY_WR_DATA_SLAVE_RATIO = 0x6F

 

It is not clear to me if the read/write leveling only affect DDR_CLK to DQS domain, or if it also affects DQ to DQS?

 

Hope you can help us regarding this issue.
