RMII on IMX6Q

christophe — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 08:16:43 GMT

Hi all,

I've connected a lan8720 with imx6q, following doc recommandations. Component seems to correctly respond but there's no way to ping .

I've read in posts that imx6 kernel doesn't support rmii no longer, and that a patch is necessary. Is it the case ? I join schematics and config.

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_MDIO__ENET_MDIO,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_MDC__ENET_MDC,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_TX_EN__ENET_TX_EN,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_CRS_DV__ENET_RX_EN,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_RXD0__ENET_RDATA_0,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_RXD1__ENET_RDATA_1,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_TXD0__ENET_TDATA_0,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_TXD1__ENET_TDATA_1,

MX6Q_PAD_ENET_RX_ER__ENET_RX_ER,

MX6Q_PAD_RGMII_TX_CTL__ENET_ANATOP_ETHERNET_REF_OUT, /* Clock ref input */

MX6Q_PAD_EIM_D17__GPIO_3_17, /* Reset RMII */

MX6Q_PAD_EIM_D16__GPIO_3_16, /* Int RMII */

I use an external 50 MHz ref clock. Init in the kernel is like below:

- reset MX6Q_PAD_EIM_D17__GPIO_3_1

- Bit 21 to 0: mxc_iomux_set_gpr_register(1, 21, 1, 0);

- imx6_init_fec(fec_data);

static struct fec_platform_data fec_data __initdata =

{

.init = mx6q_sabresd_fec_phy_init,

.phy = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RMII,

};

In uboot:

* get enet tx reference clk from internal clock from anatop

* GPR1[21] = 1

reg = readl(IOMUXC_BASE_ADDR + 0x4);

// reg |= (0x1 << 21);

reg |= (0x0 << 21); /* External clock chosen */

writel(reg, IOMUXC_BASE_ADDR + 0x4);

And the modif in fec_init()

#if defined(CONFIG_MX6Q) || defined(CONFIG_MX6DL)

/* RGMII */

// fecp->rcr &= ~(0x100);

// fecp->rcr |= 0x44;

/* RMII */

fecp->rcr &= ~(0x40);

fecp->rcr |= 0x104;

#endif

And the log:

Hello,Chrisophe,

I didn't find issue from BSP setting, But It seems that there is a little issue in schematic. Please pull up MDIO pin to VDDIO via a 1.5K-resistor. Then try it again.

Nevertheless, thanks for your help.

PraveenM — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 04:56:33 GMT

Hello Christophe,

We have a problem in using imx6Solo and TLK105L PHY chip on RMII mode. The transmit interrupt never triggered. I have configured the GPR, SION and IOMUX correctly.

Our schematics looks like yours with the following changes:

GPIO16 <---- External Clock ----->PHY

RGMII_TX_CTL is used for other peripheral and not connected to clock as you have mentioned.

any inputs would be a great help.

Thanks.

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

PraveenM — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 05:41:23 GMT

Also on RMII mode why do we need the ENET_REF_CLK Pad (V22) to be connected with External Clock source?

Thanks,

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

christophe — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:10:14 GMT

Hi,

1- You can use GPIO16 instead of MX6Q_PAD_RGMII_TX_CTL. I don't do like that because gpio16 is busy with something else in my board.

2- You can use an external oscillator or not. The external oscillator choice is more precise and safe. It seems to me imx had problems with that in the past.

3- I no longer use interrupt signal (not muxed now).

Christophe

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

PraveenM — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:16:07 GMT

Thanks for the response.

Our hardware is based on imx6Solo + RMII, the RGMII_TX_CTL is used for something else and we have a Driver code for imx6Q + RGMII.

I have modified the Driver code of imx6Q + RGMII to work for imx6Solo + RMII. For some reason I see the transmit is not working at all.

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

sinanakman — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:29:07 GMT

Hi Paveen

Are you able to put your PHY in loopback mode to see if

the issue is at FEC level or something to do with your PHY.

Regards

Sinan Akman

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

PraveenM — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:39:24 GMT

The MAC is able to communicate with the PHY chip on MDC and MDIO lines. Also the PHY link up / down interrupts are triggered without issues.

So I did not try the loopback on the PHY. I have to try the loopback on the MAC side.

These are my settings for GPIO16 (R2) <--- 50MHz EXT Clock --> TLK105L PHY:

GPR[21] = 0 //Disable internal clock

CCM_CCGR1[10] = 0x3 //Enable ENET Clk

GPIO16 SION = 1 //Receive the clock from external osc

GPIO16 Mode = 2 //Use this as CLK_REF for RMII

Thanks,

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

sinanakman — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:49:17 GMT

Hi Paveen

So, with a scope do you see data on mdio, correct clock on mdc and the generated external

clock is clean ? I'd suggest to check if any of these is missing.

Regards

Sinan Akman

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

PraveenM — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:15:49 GMT

Yes, I have validated those. I will cross check those again.

On the other note, the uboot code has transmit buffer size as 2 and Receive buffer as 64. Also the uboot code has tx buffer flush instructions before sending. I do not have all those in my driver code (which works okay for imx6Quad + RGMII) and my Tx buffer / Rx buffer are set to 64. Not sure whether the code difference we have in uboot are related to some imx6solo race condition issue. I am trying to get these extra uboot patch code on my driver to see if that resolves the problem.

Is the behavior of imx6Solo Ethernet differs from imx6Quad?

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

sinanakman — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:35:48 GMT

Hi Praveen

No the behaviour should be same, except of course solo/dual lite

has different reg map than quad.

You seemed to be porting part of uboot. Can't you just

use the latest uboot from the mainline and have that run

on your board. BTW, where do you see uboot xmit buffer

size is set to 2. Can you provide, file name, line number.

Regards

Sinan Akman

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

PraveenM — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:44:11 GMT

We are using the Nucleus Driver code and working on debug mode using probe.

I am going to work on customizing the uboot if this Nucleus Driver does not work.

Regarding the size, I am using Nitrogen6lite evb board uboot code as reference.

Refer to

File: fec_mux.h

Function: static int fec_alloc_descs(struct fec_priv *fec)

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

sinanakman — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 17:32:54 GMT

Hi Praveen

I don't know what Nitrogen evb included uboot is but I took a

look at the mainline uboot code as it seems it is not the buffers

but the number of tx descriptors is set to 2 (It actually

uses one descriptor but having 2 desc apparently prevents

a race condition). And it looks like you do need to flash for

dma to work properly. So please add the flash code and

perhaps also use only 2 (effectively 1) tx descriptors.

I suggest refer to mainline uboot code rather than the

version you are using.

Hope this helps

Regards

Sinan Akman

Re: RMII on IMX6Q

PraveenM — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 17:38:06 GMT

Sinan,

Yes, it is the number of TX desc, we have that as 64 in our code and we dont have the data flush.

I will cross check with mainline uboot also.

Thanks.
