K66 RMII pin MUX doesn't hold

[gudmundurkristi]

I've been struggling for a while with the RMII setup of K66 that is connected to TI's dp83620. The connection to the DP83620 and it's setup is the same as for another K70 project I have and that works fine. Now porting the code to the K66 gives a strange issue of PORTA_PCR5 changing from MUX setup of 4 to 6 and PORTA_PCR9 from 1 to 5. Can't see any mention of this in any documents.

IO config is:

/**
ETHERNET configuration (DP83620)
PTA24 = ETH_PCF_EN - Enable DP83620 Ethernet chip - OUTPUT (initial hi)
PTE26 = 50MHz osc input - default
PTA9 = ETH_INT - Interrupt from DP83620 Ethernet chip
PTA8 = ETH_RMII_MDC
PTA7 = ETH_RMII_MDIO
PTA17 = ETH_RMII_TXD1
PTA16 = ETH_RMII_TXD0
PTA15 = ETH_RMII_TXEN
PTA14 = ETH_RMII_CRS_DV
PTA13 = ETH_RMII_RXD0
PTA12 = ETH_RMII_RXD1
PTA5 = ETH_RMII_RXER
PTA28 = ETH_RESET output - Reset DP83620 Ethernet chip (initial lo)
**/

The setup is:

#define DEFINE_ETHERNET_IO PORTA_PCR28 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT1)); \
PTA->PCOR |= (0x01 << 28); \
PTA->PDDR |= (0x01 << 28); /* ETH_RESET as output */ \
PORTA_PCR24 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT1)); /* ETH_EN */ \
PTA->PCOR |= (0x01 << 24); /* ETH_PCF_EN = LO */ \
PTA->PDDR |= (0x01 << 24); /* ETH_PCF_EN as output */ \
PORTA_PCR9 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT1) | PORT_PCR_PS_MASK | PORT_PCR_PE_MASK); /* ETH_INT */ \
PTA->PSOR |= (0x01 << 9); /* ETH_PWRDOWN= HI */ \
PTA->PDDR |= (0x01 << 9); /* ETH_PWRDOWN as output */ \
/**/ \
PORTE->PCR[26] = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT2)); /* SYS_CLK from 50MHz osc */ \
/**/ \
PORTA_PCR8 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT5) | ETH_PORT_MDC_SRE_MASK); /* ETH_RMII_MDC */ \
PORTA_PCR7 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT5) | PORT_PCR_PS_MASK | PORT_PCR_PE_MASK); /* ETH_RMII_MDIO */ \
PORTA_PCR17 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT4)); /* ETH_RMII_TXD1 */ \
PORTA_PCR16 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT4)); /* ETH_RMII_TXD0 */ \
PORTA_PCR15 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT4)); /* ETH_RMII_TXEN */ \
PORTA_PCR14 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT4)); /* ETH_RMII_CRS_DV */ \
PORTA_PCR13 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT4)); /* ETH_RMII_RXD0 */ \
PORTA_PCR12 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT4)); /* ETH_RMII_RXD1 */ \
PORTA_PCR5 = (0 | PORT_PCR_MUX(PORT_PIN_MUX_CONTROL_PIN_ALT4)); /* ETH_RMII_RXER  */

Ethernet receives packages like ping and replies to it internally (I can see action on the ETH_TX0, ETH_TX1 & ETH_TXEN and ENET cout's up transmissions while nothing is released to the wire). the PHY is not in isolate mode nor in loopback mode so it isn't that.

The strange thing is that if I print out the registers for pinout mux setup it replies:

Does anyone out there have an idea of what this could be?

Hi

I do a test with FRDM-K66F board & KDSK V2.0 software, while I don't find your mentioned issue.

I also check the K66 errata record, without any record similar with this issue.

Could you check your software if there exist code modify the PORTA_PCR5 & PORTA_PCR9 registers value after the Ethernet pin initialization?

If possible, you could debug the code and check those register value setting if as expected.

And during the code execution to find where the code change those registers.

Wish it helps.

Have a great day,
Ma Hui
