P9 memory hierarchyΒΆ

P9 Nimbus supports direct attached DDR memory through 4 DDR ports per side of the processor. Device tree contains memory hierarchy so that one can traverse from chip to DIMM like below:

xscom@<addr>/mcbist@<mcbist_id>/mcs@<mcs_id>/mca@<mca_id>/dimm@<resource_id>

Example of dimm node:

dimm@d00e {
        memory-id = <0xc>; /* DRAM Device Type. 0xc = DDR4 */
        product-version = <0x32>; /* Module Revision Code */
        device_type = "memory-dimm-ddr4";
        serial-number = <0x15d9ad1c>;
        status = "okay";
        size = <0x4000>;
        phandle = <0xd2>;
        ibm,loc-code = "UOPWR.0000000-Node0-DIMM14";
        part-number = "36ASF2G72PZ-2G6B2   ";
        reg = <0xd00e>;
        manufacturer-id = <0x802c>; /* Vendor ID, we can get vendor name from this ID */
};
