Using L2 Ethernet Switch

vladimirovseych — Thu, 19 May 2016 08:33:21 GMT

Hello, Dear Everyone!

I can't find enough information about linux driver for L2 Ethernet Switch in i.MX28.

Does 3.x and 4.x kernel support this hardware module?

And how one can setup the switch from userspace?

Thanks.

Refer to the Chapter 16 of the attached document. This is about the latest L2.6.35 Linux BSP for the i.MX28 EVK board by FSL/NXP, available for download on the NXP web site (check the "Board Support Packages" section):

Have a great day,

Thank you, Artur.

If I understand there is no switch driver for 3.x,4.x kernel. So I'll try to port it. But I didn't manage to find sources(fec_switch.c,.h) at nxp.com. Would you be so kind to write here a direct link to 2.6 kernel sources with switch driver?
