CCG2 firmware image - limiting cable speed to 10Gbps

[Anonymous]

Hi,

This is Satyajit from Intel.

We are using CCG2 eMarker (CYPD2103-20FNXIT) in our design. It’s similar to Passive eMarked cable.

We want to use this design to carry 10Gbps Thunderbolt signals. Our requirements is,

1. eMarker should advertise cable properties as 10Gbps speed support only.

We downloaded CCG2 firmware from,

http://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/ez-pd-ccg2-firmware

As firmware is available only in binary format, we don’t know if it supports 10Gbps only speed as mentioned above.

Can you point me to the right firmware? If it’s not readily available, can you share updated firmware where cable property (speed) is limited to 10Gbps?

Thanks and regards,

Satyajit

Hi Satyajit,

Please kindly add a SVID for TBT3 cable support in CCG2 passive cable firmware by Ez-PD configuration Utility. So far, we are not going to release firmware source code of CCG2 cable as SDK, so that CC bootloader is the way you could use it.

Best Regards,
