Ethernet RMII Mode on TWRK70F120M

muhammad_qasim — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 07:14:28 GMT

I am trying to run Ethernet Device on TWRK70F120M with RMII Mode Enabled.

Currently My CPU is running in PEE mode [Serial, I2C, SPI devices are running]

I have done following jumper settings on K70 Board

J18: OFF

J19: OFF

I have done following jumper settings on TWR-SER board

J2: 3-4

J3: 2-3

J12: 5-6, 9-10

I have done following configurations for Ethernet in Ethernet code.

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTB1 for RMII_MDC */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTB0 for RMII_MDIO */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTA14 for RMII_CRS_DV */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTA13 for RMII_RXD0 */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTA12 for RMII_RXD1 */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTA5 for RMII_RXER */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTA16 for RMII_TXD0 */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTA17 for RMII_TXD1 */

/* Select ALT 4 function on PTA15 for RMII_TXEN */

/* Enable RMII_REF_CLK / OSC0ERCLK clock in SIM_SOPT2 Register[TIMESRC[ */

/* Enable ENET Clock in SIM_SCGC2 register */

Am I missing any jumper settings?

Am I missing any configurations related to CPU or Ethernet?

Am I missing clock configurations like CLKIN0 (PTA18)?

My CPU driver stuck if I do above jumper settings because [MCG_S[IREFST] bit is not getting low [Source of FLL reference clock is the external reference clock] and PHY of Ethernet is not getting UP.

See page 9 of the following document for recommended settings for your tower kit:

Hi Hafiz,

Attached is ZIP with pictures of the TWR-K70F120M and TWR-SER to enable Ethernet with the default RMII mode.

The TWR-SER card is jumpered to provide 50MHz to the K70 and to the PHY on the TWR-SER card. This aligned the clock domains of the PHY and K70 MAC.

The TWR-K70F120M is jumpered to receive the 50MHz clock from TWR-SER.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

David

Hi David, I am working with a tower k60F and KSZ8041NL driver, I am traying to enable the ethernet socket in RMII mode in my own design card.

I am using the software drivers without changes from k60f120m and MQX 4.0.

The actual situation is: Leds On on ethernet socket.

Software finish configurations as correct (IP, mask, dns)

Sockets TCP OK.

However there is not answer from a ping command.

I discovered a problem: The RMII_MDC does not have the characteristic signal.

My question is: What is the signal source for RMII_MDC or what is the function to control RMII_MDC port? in intention to know the source of problem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Cosio,

Sorry for delayed response.

Have you resolved your issue?

If not the MDC and MDIO signals are used as a communication port to setup the PHY (i.e. gain access to internal PHY registers for status and control should the default setup need changing).

The TWR-K60F120M initializes the Ethernet pins in the BSP init_gpio.c _bsp_enet_io_init() function.

Low level PHY functions are in the phy_ksz8041.c file.

David
