DS560DF810: DS560DF810 patch required?

Part Number: DS560DF810

Hello,

For the implementation of the DS560DF810, I want to know if the retimer needs a patch and if yes how to roll it out, as the information in the DS560DFxx0 Programmer’s Guide SNLU294 does not seems complete.

In 5.3.4 of the DS560DFxx programmer guide, one can read "dowload patch firmware to PATCH MEMORY".
Sequence to access this memory should be documented in Appendix A, which turns to be empty.

SNLU294 is dated december 2022 (within the document) and is obtained from the link https://dr-download.ti.com/authenticated/software-development/application-software-framework/MD-UtOpjcGJnV/1.0/snlu294_Jan_2023.pdf?executeSecureDownload=true  
 
Thank you for your support!

  • Hi Yannick,

    Yes, the DS560DF810 should be used with a patch.  I would recommend using the C API that can be found in the secure resource folder.  This includes the patch and also has functions to write the patch and configure the device.

    Thanks,

    Drew
