i.MX6s custom board : linux doen't discover phy

jbd64 — Mon, 21 Dec 2015 17:27:11 GMT

Hi everyone,

We designed a custom board based on i.MX6solo with a phy MICREL KSZ9021 connected on ENET with RGMII.

U-boot discovers the phy at address 7 (which is the correct address), but linux can't discover it.

In attachments below, see the log file of u-boot and linux.

Here is the device tree code we are using :

pinctrl_enet: enetgrp {      fsl,pins = <           MX6QDL_PAD_KEY_COL1__ENET_MDIO          0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_MDC__ENET_MDC           0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_REF_CLK__ENET_TX_CLK 0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_ENET_TXD0__ENET_TX_DATA0 0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_RD0__RGMII_RD0         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_RD1__RGMII_RD1         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_RD2__RGMII_RD2         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_RD3__RGMII_RD3         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_RX_CTL__RGMII_RX_CTL 0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_RXC__RGMII_RXC         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_TD0__RGMII_TD0         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_TD1__RGMII_TD1         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_TD2__RGMII_TD2         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_TD3__RGMII_TD3         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_TX_CTL__RGMII_TX_CTL 0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_RGMII_TXC__RGMII_TXC         0x1b0b0           MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_CLK__GPIO1_IO10          0x1b0b0 //Phy Reset           MX6QDL_PAD_GPIO_0__GPIO1_IO00           0x1b0b0 //Phy Int      >; }; @ &fec {     pinctrl-names = "default";     pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_enet>;     phy-mode = "rgmii";     phy-reset-gpios = <&gpio1 10 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;     status = "okay"; };

Any idea where does the problem provide ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi jbd64

one can look at KSZ9021 initialization on sabrelite board

linux-imx6/mach-imx6q.c at boundary-imx_3.14.28_1.0.0_ga · boundarydevices/linux-imx6 · GitHub

Best regards

Hi igorpadykov

Thanks for your reply !

I added printk in imx6q_enet_phy_init and ksz9021rn_phy_fixup functions.

printk of the imx6q_enet_phy_init function is executed but ksz9021rn_phy_fixup is not.

As you can see in linux-no-discover-phy.txt, mdiobus_scan tries to discover phy connected to the CPU, but it can't find anyone. If it discovered KSZ9021, ksz9021rn_phy_fixup

sould have been printed after mdiobus_scan addr=7 print.

I don't understand why KSZ9021 is not discovered by mdiobus_scan function.

Any idea ?

you can stop in mdiobus_scan function, then connect jtag

and check signals on phy with oscilloscope.

Thanks for your reactivity !

I added printk in get_phy_device function (phy_device.c), just after get_phy_id call and... it works ! :/

With printk call, it adds a certain delay... It may be a timing problem... that's the only explanation I have.

Not the easiest problem to solve ! :/

Thanks a lot !

suffer a same symptom with message "2188000.ethernet supply phy not found, using dummy regulator" prompt.
