6.3.5.6.1. DDR4 Byte Lane Swapping
The rules for swapping DQ byte lane are as follows:
- You can only swap between utilized DQ lanes.
- You cannot swap a DQ lane with an AC lane.
- You cannot swap a DQ lane with an ECC lane when out-of-band ECC is enabled. For x40 interfaces, the highest-indexed DQ byte lane cannot be swapped.
- Additional restrictions apply when you use a x16 memory component:
- You must place DQ group 0 and DQ group 1 on adjacent byte lanes, unless they are separated by AC Lanes. These 2 groups must be connected to the same x16 memory component.
- You must place DQ group 2 and DQ group 3 on adjacent byte lanes, unless they are separated by AC Lanes. These 2 groups must be connected to the same x16 memory component.
- If you use only one byte of the x16 memory component, you must use only the lower byte of the memory component.
- Additional restrictions apply in lockstep configuration implemented with 2 adjacent IO96 banks:
- Any DQ lane with a letter s prefix must remain in its designated byte lane. You cannot swap an sprefixed DQ lane with any other byte-lane.
- DQ lane swapping between IO96 banks is not allowed. You can only swap between utilized DQ lanes within the same IO96 bank.
Address/Command Scheme | Data Width usage | BL7 [P95:P84] | BL6 [P83:P72] | BL5 [P71:P60] | BL4 [P59:P48] | BL3 [P47:P36] | BL2 [P35:P24] | BL1 [P23:P12] | BL0 [P11:P0] |

Scheme 2 | DDR4 x32 + ECC | DQ[ECC] | DQ[3] | DQ[2] | DQ[1] | AC2 | AC1 | AC0 | DQ[0] |
Scheme 2 | DDR4 x40 | DQ[4] | DQ[3] | DQ[2] | DQ[1] | AC2 | AC1 | AC0 | DQ[0] |
Example: DDR4 x 32 +ECC implemented with AC Scheme 2
BL7 is used as ECC DQ lane, while Lane 0, 4, 5 and 6 are used DQ lanes. Byte lane swapping between BL0,4,5,6 is allowed.
Example: DDR4 x 40 implemented with AC Scheme 2
BL0,4,5,6,7 are used as DQ lanes. Byte lane swapping between BL0,4,5,6 is allowed. The highest-index DQ byte lane (that is, DQ[4]), cannot be swapped and must be placed at BL7.

Example: x72 or x64+ECC Configuration with AC Pri Top Sub-Bank/Sec DQ Bot Placement
In Primary IO96 Bank: sDQ[0] is used for ECC or RUSER/WUSER. It cannot be swapped to other byte lanes.
Byte lane swapping between BL0, 1,2 and 3 is allowed.In Secondary IO96 Bank: BL0,1,2,3 are used as DQ lanes. Byte lane swapping between BL0,1,2,3 is allowed.
Example: x72 or x64+ECC Configuration with AC Pri Bot Sub-Bank/Sec DQ Bot Placement
In Primary IO96 Bank: sDQ[4] is used for ECC or RUSER/WUSER. It cannot be swapped to other byte lanes.
Byte lane swapping between BL0, 4,5 and 6 is allowed.In Secondary IO96 Bank: BL0,1,2,3 are used as DQ lanes. Byte lane swapping between BL0,1,2,3 is allowed.
Example: x72 or x64+ECC Configuration with AC Pri Top Sub-Bank / Sec DQ Top(m)
In Primary IO96 Bank: sDQ[0] is used for ECC or RUSER/WUSER. It cannot be swapped to other byte lanes.
Byte lane swapping between BL0, 1,2 and 3 is allowed.In Secondary IO96 Bank: BL4,5,6,7 are used as DQ lanes. Byte lane swapping between BL4,5,6,7 is allowed.
