IMX6DL doesn't work (tx) with BCM54810 phy on Linux

joe_culler — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 02:59:27 GMT

I can attach bcm54810 phy with fec, using ifconfig eth0, tx doesn't work.

dmesg:
Broadcom BCM54810 2188000.ethernet-1:00: attached PHY driver [Broadcom BCM54810]
(mii_bus:phy_addr=2188000.ethernet-1:00, irq=-1)
fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

Here is the output of ifconfig after trying to get ip address from dhcp server:

$ ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr EE:BD:A9:8F:9A:7E
         inet6 addr: fe80::ecbd:a9ff:fe8f:9a7e/64 Scope:Link

Here is my Linux .dts file related contents:

       phy-handle = <&ethphy0>;
       pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet>;

       status = "okay";

       mdio {
               #address-cells = <1>;
               #size-cells = <0>;

               ethphy0: ethernet-phy@0 {

               };

Anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong or what next to check to
get Ethernet working in Linux? Thanks.

Hi Joe

one can check with oscilloscope rgmii timings described in Table 60. RGMII Signal Switching Specifications

i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite Applications Processors for Consumer Products

Pay attention to net-phy-broadcom patches comments:

"This PHY has internal delays enabled after reset. This clears the
internal delay enables unless the interface specifically requests them."

[source] kernel: add linux 4.9 support

Best regards

Thanks for the reply. It seems that net-pay-broadcom patches comments

is for BCM54612e, not for BCM54810...

it has the same codes:

reg &= ~MII_BCM54XX_AUXCTL_SHDWSEL_MISC_RGMII_SKEW_EN;

I added the code, but still no TX :(

$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr E2:FF:DE:19:79:E9
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
