Using Ethernet port for alternate functionality

pavangidaveer — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 16:11:53 GMT

Hello,

In mpc5200B, we have configured Ethernet port (bit 12:15) of GPS PORT Configuration Register (MBAR + 0B00h) as 1010 (i,e. Two UARTes, J1850).

While in this configuration, we are not using ETH_8, ETH_15 & ETH_16 pins for its specified functionality i.e, UART5e_CD, UART4_CTS & UART4_CD respectively. Rather, we want to use these pins as GPIO, i.e, we want to read and write from/to these pins as in GPIO configuration without configuring Ethernet port (bit 12:15) of GPS PORT Configuration Register (MBAR + 0B00h) as 0000 (i.e, GPIO).

Could you please suggest us the method to achieve that?

If the MPC5200B Ethernet is configured using the GPS PORT Configuration Register (MBAR 0B00h) as 1010, the ETH8 is UART5e_CD, the ETH15 is UART4_CTS and ETH16 is UART4_CD signals. These pins cannot be uses as GPIO for this configuration. See the Figure 2-9 of the MPC5200B User's Manual.

You can use CD (carrier detect) signals as GPIO inputs using Input Port Change Register. See the Table 15-13 of the MPC5200B Reference Manual.

Have a great day,
Pavel Chubakov
