RMII interface on i.mx6 Solo

alexberenshtein — Sun, 13 Nov 2016 14:35:17 GMT

We use i.mx6 - Solo. We changed interface from RGMII to RMII. We use Marvell 88E6020 , have 2 steps.

1. In U-Boot:

MX6_PAD_ENET_MDIO__ENET_MDIO|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_ENET_MDC__ENET_MDC|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_ENET_CRS_DV__ENET_RX_EN|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_ENET_RX_ER__ENET_RX_ER|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_ENET_TX_EN__ENET_TX_EN|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL), MX6_PAD_ENET_RXD0__ENET_RX_DATA0|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_ENET_RXD1__ENET_RX_DATA1|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_ENET_TXD0__ENET_TX_DATA0|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_ENET_TXD1__ENET_TX_DATA1|MUX_PAD_CTRL(ENET_PAD_CTRL) , MX6_PAD_GPIO_16__ENET_REF_CLK|MUX_PAD_CTRL(0x4001b0a8),

Working OK !!!!!!;

In kernel 4.1.15:
pinctrl_enet:

enetgrp { fsl,pins =

< MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_MDIO__ENET_MDIO 0x1b0b0

MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_MDC__ENET_MDC 0x1b0b0

MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_CRS_DV__ENET_RX_EN

0x1b0b0 MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_RX_ER__ENET_RX_ER

0x1b0b0 MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_TX_EN__ENET_TX_EN

0x1b0b0 MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_RXD0__ENET_RX_DATA0

0x1b0b0 MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_RXD1__ENET_RX_DATA1

0x1b0b0 MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_TXD0__ENET_TX_DATA0

0x1b0b0 MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_TXD1__ENET_TX_DATA1 0x1b0b0

MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_16__ENET_REF_CLK 0x4001b0a8 >;

};

pinctrl_enet_irq: enetirqgrp

{ fsl,pins = < MX6QDL_PAD_NANDF_ALE__GPIO6_IO08 0x000b1 >; }

Clock we get from MARVELL (50Mgz).

#define MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_16__ENET_REF_CLK 0x214 0x5e4 0x80c 0x12 0x0

Clear Bit 21 -> IOMUXC_GPR1[21] , Clock from Marvell !!!

regmap_update_bits(gpr, IOMUXC_GPR1,IMX6Q_GPR1_ENET_CLK_SEL_MASK,0);

But , we get a message: fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: Freescale FEC PHY driver [Generic PHY] (mii_bus:phy_addr=2188000.ethernet:18, irq=-1) IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready done.

What a problem ?

Hi Alex

has dts file rmii entry as in examples:

&fec { ..     phy-mode = "rmii";

linux-2.6-imx.git - Freescale i.MX Linux Tree

https://community.nxp.com/message/841332?commentID=841332#comment-841332

also one can check mac address as in attached Linux Manual

sect.43.3.2 Getting a MAC Address

Hi Igor.

Yes.

We have :

dts file in RMII :

&fec { ..     phy-mode = "rmii";

MAC is OK.

Hi Alex

is there phy gpio reset, is it working properly

Hi Igor.

Yes.

phy gpio reset is is working good 0 / 1.

We get clock from Marvel.

bit GPR[21]=0 ---> Get clock from external .

IOMUXC_SW_MUX_CTL_PAD_GPIO16 ---> address 20E0214h

bit SION =1 -> ENABLED — Force input path of pad GPIO_16

MUX_MODE -> 010 (ALT2) -> select signal ENET_REF_CLK

About patch - I use kernel 4.1.15 - with all patches.

Best regards.

Hi Igor.

I see on terminal:

[    8.791175] libphy: PHY fixed-0:00 not found
[    8.797571] fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: could not attach to PHY

Hi Alex

one can debug it, starting from probe function, please use attached
