iMX8MP - Bridge on eth1 not supported

anhira — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 10:13:10 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to bridge eth0 with eth1 in my custom board based on imx8mpevk. I can add eth0 but when I try to add eth1 (connected to my external switch) I give this message in dmesg:

~$ sudo brctl addif br1 eth1

[ 5297.714895] imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet eth1: Adding VLAN in promisc mode not supported
[ 5297.737609] imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet eth1: failed to initialize vlan filtering on this port
[ 5297.746948] imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet eth1: Adding VLAN in promisc mode not supported
[ 5297.769982] imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet eth1: failed to initialize vlan filtering on this port
can't add eth1 to bridge br1: Operation not permitted

The kernel used is:

5.10.35-lts-5.10.y+gef3f2cfc6010

Individually I can change eth1 to promisc mode, but the operation is not permitted again

Can anyone help me or explain why I can't add eth1 to the bridge?

In kernel I have the modules included

CONFIG_BRIDGE=y

CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=y

CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=y

Thank you

Do you want to use both eth0 and eth1 on the i.MX8MP?

Yes, I have one ethernet (eth0) connected vía layout (PCB) with another module (BPL) and the ethernet (eth1) is the only one that I have access via RJ45 connector, so I want to connect my PC to eth1 and go through eth0 to my BPL device to create a PLC network and replicate with another device the same structure.

The scheme would be something like that:

PC1 -- RJ45-- eth1--iMX8MP_1--eth0--BPL_MODULE--COAX--BPL_MODULE--eth0--iMX8MP_2--eth1--RJ45--PC2

From eth1 to BPL_MODULE_1 is one device, and is connected through COAXIAL to another.

So I want to do ping from PC1 to PC2, and connected all to the same network I have problems with the iMX8MP, I don't know why, but doesn't work well. I think that the solution is via bridge, what do you think about?

Thanks.

Are you using android BSP?

Re: iMX8MP - Bridge on eth1 not supported

anhira — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 08:49:07 GMT

No, is yocto BSP

Re: iMX8MP - Bridge on eth1 not supported

Rita_Wang — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 08:59:41 GMT

Only support eth0 (one instance of ethernet) in default BSP

I have the patch for enable dual ethernet on Android 11. I already email to you, hope can do some help for you.

Hi,

We have exactly the same problem. Adding the 30bf0000.ethernet interface to a bridge fails, triggering the same traces.

Would it be possible to have the patch that fixes the problem, please? We are using Yocto for creating a Linux distro.

We only have the patch for dual eth on the android BSP, do you need them?

Yes, thanks. It will serve.

Hello, we are interested in the same solution. We are getting the following:

```

[60987.948710] imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet eth1: Adding VLAN in promisc mode not supported

[60987.965959] imx-dwmac 30bf0000.ethernet eth1: failed to initialize vlan filtering on this port

```

Can you assist?

** EDIT **

Hello @Rita_Wang,

Could you email the file/files our way also?

Best regards,

Hi @Rita_Wang ,
Can you please email me the patch for use with Yocto 4.0 (kernel 5.15.71 using linux-imx from NXP)? If you need more info, please let me know.

Thank you! -andy
