LS1088A pfe.ko file

samcstewart — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 23:17:14 GMT

I have the LS1088A development system (LS1088ARDB-PB development system), and I was trying to find the fie "pfe.ko" because I am designing a new pcb board with the LS1088A, and I have to change out the Aquantia AQR105 10GBASE-T phy for the Broadcom phy. Thus, I need to modify the "pfe.ko" mdio/mdo information to initialize the Broadcom phy when I boot up. Would anyone know where the "pfe.ko" file is located?

Hello Samuel Stewart,

LS1088A is not PPFE( Programmable Packet Forwarding Engine) based platform, pfe.ko is Kernel driver module for PPFE.

If you want to use Broadcom phy on the target, please define "CONFIG_PHY_BROADCOM" and remove "#define CONFIG_PHY_VITESSE" in u-boot source code include/configs/ls1088ardb.h.

Please modify board/freescale/ls1088a/eth_ls1088ardb.c in u-boot source code according to your target board.

Thanks,

Yiping
