Customize PCIe (per-controller status / lanes / speed)

Overview

PCIe on Tegra264 (Thor, pcie@C0..C5) and Tegra234 (Orin, pcie@C0..C10) is split across multiple controllers that share the UPHY lane pool with USB3 / MGBE / UFS. Each controller's runtime behavior is determined by two surfaces, both required:

Surface	Target	Authoritative for
ODMDATA `pcie@N_status=…` (+ `pcie@N_max-link-speed`, `pcie@N_pcie-mode`, `pcie@N_clk-scheme`, `pcie-cN-endpoint-enable`)	`/pcie/pcie@N` in BPMP DTB	UPHY lane power, refclk gating, controller-side power rails
Kernel-DT overlay on `&pcieN`	`/bus@0/pcie@<addr>` in kernel DTB	Kernel probe, lane width, link speed, RC/EP mode

Skipping the kernel overlay on a disable lets the kernel probe a powered-down PHY (link timeouts in dmesg). Skipping the ODMDATA token on a disable leaves BPMP holding the PHY hot.

Agentic, not table-driven — no controller table, no questions.json. Every controller, lane width, schematic-routed receptacle, and authoritative DT node address is discovered at runtime from the docs + DTB + carrier pinmap.

The output is a kernel-DT overlay commit only. Per-controller fragment@N blocks are appended to the composite custom overlay .dts per ../../references/bsp-customization-kernel-dtb.md and committed to the bsp_sources/ hardware repo. /jetson-build-source compiles the composite to .dtbo and owns its Makefile + flash-conf registration.

This skill MUST NOT edit ODMDATA="...". All ODMDATA tokens (pcie@N_status=…, pcie@N_max-link-speed, pcie@N_pcie-mode, pcie@N_clk-scheme, pcie-cN-endpoint-enable, plus the uphyX-config-N surface tokens and UPHY_CONFIG="" clear) are emitted by /jetson-customize-uphy in a single atomic commit on the carrier flash-conf fork. The allocation table this skill consumes from the UPHY sidecar already tells the operator which controllers are okay / disabled / per-lane sized; this skill only translates that table into kernel-DT overlay fragments and verifies that the overlay agrees with the ODMDATA already committed by customize-uphy (consistency check in Step 8 — disagreement is reported, not silently fixed).

When to invoke

The user says "configure PCIe", "enable PCIe controller", "set PCIe num-lanes", "change PCIe link speed", or asks to flip a pcie@N_status token.
A specific PCIe slot or M.2 receptacle doesn't enumerate after flash, OR the link trains at the wrong width / speed.
jetson-customize-uphy ran and re-allocated lanes across PCIe controllers (e.g. switched from uphy0-config-7 to uphy0-config-6 enabling PCIe C3); the per-controller side now needs to be brought up.
jetson-customize-mgbe reports the QSFP path is wired but the kernel doesn't probe its PCIe-side companion (rare; XFI configurations).

Prerequisites:

Active profile with reference_devkit: + custom_carrier: blocks.
<source.root_path>/Linux_for_Tegra/.git exists (/jetson-init-source).
/jetson-derive-carrier has run — carrier flash-conf fork is in the overlay tracker.
/jetson-customize-uphy has run — its JSON sidecar at <workspace>/target-platform/<profile-stem>.jetson-customize-uphy.json drives the per-controller enable decision.
Source-of-truth docs registered or supplied at prompt: Adaptation Guide, Module Design Guide, SoC TRM.
When custom_carrier: is present, both documents.custom_carrier_schematic AND documents.custom_carrier_pinmux_xls are REQUIRED. Refuse the run if either is missing — routing on a custom carrier cannot be guessed. Reference-devkit-only profiles skip this check.
dtc on PATH.

Procedure (summary)

Full step-by-step walkthrough lives in references/procedure.md. High-level flow:

Resolve active target + open source-of-truth documents (incl. <carrier-pinmap>, <ref-dtb>, <uphy-state>). Refuse if <uphy-state> is missing.
Diff PCIe topology — devkit vs custom carrier — by decompiling <ref-dtb> and grepping the schematic for PEX<N>_* net labels.
AskUserQuestion (multiSelect) — which controllers to customize.
Per-controller verification: pinmap + schematic + pin_verifier.py for PE<N>_CLKREQ_L, PE<N>_RST_L, optional PE<N>_WAKE_L.
Auto-derive per-controller plan (enable from <uphy-state>, lanes / speed from Adaptation Guide, mode hard-pinned to "rc") → mandatory confirm-or-customize gate.
Append per-controller fragment@N blocks (marker /* custom-bsp: pcie:pcie@<addr> */) to the composite custom overlay .dts in bsp_sources/. Pre-flight dtc + fdtoverlay. Commit via the workflow's preview gate. Do not edit ODMDATA — /jetson-customize-uphy already emitted pcie@N_status=…, pcie@N_max-link-speed, pcie@N_pcie-mode, pcie@N_clk-scheme, and pcie-cN-endpoint-enable in its single atomic ODMDATA commit. This skill only translates the per-controller plan into kernel-DT overlay fragments.
(Step folded into Step 6 — overlay-only emission.)
Cross-check ODMDATA vs overlay consistency. On a contradictory row, stop and ask the user how to recover the two commits. Never run git reset --hard autonomously.
Write run-state JSON sidecar at <workspace>/target-platform/<profile-stem>.jetson-customize-pcie.json
- summary, then drive the downstream next-step chain via sequential AskUserQuestion prompts per references/procedure.md Step 9. Never substitute a printed "Next step: …" line for the prompts.

Limitations

Mode hard-pinned to RC. Endpoint mode is only emitted when the operator passes mode_override="ep" in Step 5c.
enable is derived, not asked. UPHY-allocated controllers are mandatorily okay; non-allocated are mandatorily disabled.
No upstream BSP edits. Output lands in Linux_for_Tegra/ + bsp_sources/ only.
Pre-flight overlay merge is a sanity check, not the production build. /jetson-build-source is authoritative.
Flash-conf overlay registration is out of scope. Owned by /jetson-build-source Step 5.0a.

Troubleshooting

<uphy-state> missing → run /jetson-customize-uphy first.
Slot doesn't enumerate after flash → check dmesg | grep pcie; re-verify ODMDATA pcie@<N>_status=okay and the overlay fragment agree (Step 8 table in references/procedure.md).
Link trains at wrong width → confirm UPHY config in <uphy-state> allocates the expected lane count; the kernel fragment's num-lanes must match.
compatible mismatch → fix the composite root, not the fragment. UEFI plugin-manager silently skips on mismatch.
Contradictory ODMDATA-vs-overlay row → ask the user; do not auto-git reset --hard. See gotchas.
Common pitfalls — see references/gotchas.md (RC pinning, node- address sourcing, stock-disabled controllers, intra-file handoff with jetson-customize-uphy).
