3.16 Byte and Bit Swapping

All address/control signals must be routed from the DDR controller to the LPDDR4 memory as described in the diagrams in LPDDR4 Interface Schematics. Address/control signals cannot be swapped with other signals. Data bit (DQx) and Data Mask (DM) swapping within a byte (for example, swapping D2 with D3) is allowed, but data bit DQx/DM swapping across bytes (for example, swapping D4 and D13) is not allowed.

Swapping byte lanes within a channel (for example, swapping byte 0 and 1) is allowed.When swapping bytes, all of the associated signals of the byte (DQx, DQSx, and DM) must be swapped together.

Use the DDR Subsystem Register Configuration Tool in SysConfig (https://dev.ti.com/sysconfig) to describe how the bits are swapped. Check the README link in the tool for detailed instructions.
