U-Boot and Fixed PHY Support

Hi,

We' are trying to add support for fixed phy in u-boot.

We removed all ethernet PHY from config in this case generic phy should be used.

With this change we cannot make any network communication although the interface seems to be available with the incorrect link speed a duplex setting (as per the below).

sc # ping $serverip
Speed: 10, half duplex
Using dwmac.3100c000 device
ping failed; host 192.168.0.2 is not alive


sc # mdio list
dwmac.3100c000:
0 - Generic PHY <--> dwmac.3100c000

Do you have any suggestions on how to make this work under uboot?

Once we boot to linux we have it working by changes in the devicetree.

Regards,

Mark

  • Hi Mark,

    I have removed the TI phy handling as below and I could ping another machine from sc589-mini board.

  • Hi Vignesh, 

    Thank you for your replay, Does your board have a PHY attached?  I think it is auto negotiating and allowing the port to be enabled, in our design there is no PHY so we need to force it to 1000/FULL.

    Can you please advise how this is possible or another solution for a fixed PHY option (direct link to switch).

    Regards,

    Mark
