Release Date: 08 Apr 2026
Release Version: V_06-00-03
TC956X PCIe EMAC driver is based on "Fedora 30, kernel-5.4.19", "Fedora 36, kernel-6.1.18" and "Fedora 39, kernel-6.6.1"
This is a fork of the upstream TC9564_Host_Driver repository maintained by Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation. The fork was created because the upstream repository does not accept external contributions and additional changes are required to properly support Qualcomm targets on the latest kernel releases.
Unlike the upstream repository, this fork is open to contributions. Development takes place on the qcom branch — please base any Pull Requests on that branch. Contributions that improve Qualcomm target support or general driver quality are welcome.
-
Execute following commands:
#make clean
#make
-
By default, TC956X_DMA_OFFLOAD_ENABLE is disabled. If IPA offload is needed, execute following commands:
#make clean
#make TC956X_DMA_OFFLOAD_ENABLE=1
To compile driver with load firmware header (fw.h) use the below command #make TC956X_LOAD_FW_HEADER=1
In order to compile the Driver to include the code for applying Gen3 setting, execute Make with below argument #make TC956X_PCIE_GEN3_SETTING=1
By default code compiles with Automotive configuration, to compile code in CPE configuration use the following with any other arguments that may be needed, #make cpe=1
Please note, incase both fw.h and Gen3 settings are needed, then both arugments need to be specified. To compile for board RBTC9563_3MA, Enable RBTC9563_3MA MACRO in common.h file.

Load phylink module
#modprobe phylink
-
Load the driver
#insmod tc956x_pcie_eth.ko pcie_link_speed=X
In the module parameter pcie_link_speed, X is the desired PCIe Gen speed. X can be 3 or 2 or 1. Passing module parameter (pcie_link_speed=X) is optional. If module parameter is not passed, by default Gen3 speed will be selected by the driver.
Please note that driver should be compiled using below command to use this feature: #make TC956X_PCIE_GEN3_SETTING=1

Regarding the performance, use the below command to increase the dynamic byte queue limit
$echo "900000" > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:03.0/0000:05:00.0/net/enp5s0f0/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/limit_min
900000 is the random value chosen. It needs to adjust this value on their system and check "0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:03.0/0000:05:00.0/" value can be obtained from the "lspci -t" command
-
The debug counters to check the interrupt count is available.
"#ethtool -S " needs to be executed and sample output is as below
total_interrupts: 120109 lpi_intr_n: 0 pmt_intr_n: 0 event_intr_n: 0 tx_intr_n: 120000 rx_intr_n: 51 xpcs_intr_n: 0 phy_intr_n: 46 sw_msi_n: 12tx_intr_n = No of. Tx interrupts originating from eMAC sw_msi_n = No. of SW MSIs triggered by Systick Handler as part of optimized Tx Timer based on Systick approach. So total number of interrupts for Tx = tx_intr_n + sw_msi_n Please note that whenever Rx interruts are generated, the Host ISR will process the Tx completed descriptors too.
-
