Imx6 custom board

bastien — Sat, 07 Nov 2020 14:38:08 GMT

Hello comminity,

I am working on imx6 custom board and i want to add ethernet interface.

The evaluations boards from nxp are based on RGMII with AR8031 chip or lan8720.

I need to know :

Does the linux recognizes automatically the phy ethernet even if I choose an other phy components as the ksz8794 or others ?

If driver is needed, how to build and implement it on my custol software?

Is it possible to get some documentations about this ?

Thank you

Best regards

Hi bastien

some specific for each phy ethernet can be required, as for example related to ar8031 codes can be

found in .. arch/arm/mach-imx/mach-imx6q.c, drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_fixup.c
for lan8720 in ..drivers/net/phy/smsc.c :

Porting documentation can be found in

Best regards
