Description: 

From time to time there are problems with PCIe on some TEBF0808/TE080x combinations. The problem has various causes and is usually one or a combination of the following:

...

This change affects all Trenz Electronic TEBF08x8 TEBF0808 together with compatible SoMs: TE08xxTE080x.

Affected Product

Effected Changes
TEBF0808-*#2 (use together with #1 on module!)
TE0808-*#1
TE0807-*#1
TE0803-*#1

...

Impact: Carrier with still use AC coupled reference clk for PCIe , on the carrier.recommended to modify carrier, see #2

...

Reason: DC coupled HSCL standard is more compline to PCIe specification and will improve PCIe Stability.  Capacitor C93 and C94 of PCI_REF_*/CLK0_* will should be replaced with 0Ohm resistor

Impact: Carrier with Design which still use AC coupled reference clk for PCIe, see #2LVDS as PLL output for PCIe CLK to the carrier.  It's recommended to configuration to HSCL, see #1
