[EXTERNAL] Re: [PATCH v2 5/7] arm: dts: k3-am69: ddr: Update to v0.12.0 of DDR config tool

[Scholz, Kevin]

Francesco,

My understanding is that the Aquila board was previously having intermittent boot failures, hence the comparison of the TI EVM register values vs. the Aquila board register values. My understanding is that since then, two unrelated issues were identified resulting in the observed behavior, and both have been resolved.

However in general, more than one IO setting can be adequate for a given design, and it is also acceptable to have different IO settings for different board designs and/or for different DDRSS on the same board. 

Regards,
Kevin

Is there any specific reason for doing this as Francesco has pointed out?
