LS1088ARDB/LS1088RDB-PB Ethernet port mapping

[#1]

In the U-Boot log, the names of the Ethernet interfaces are printed in the format <name>@<interface type>, for example, DPMAC2@xgmii. DPMAC is a DPAA2 object that identifies the physical interface. 

For Linux, in TinyDistro as well as in Ubuntu distribution, by default, only one MAC is enabled as a standard Kernel Ethernet Interface. This interface is named eth0 by default (or eth1 if PCI Express network interface card is discovered first).

For details regarding creation of a DPAA2 network interface (DPNI) in Linux, refer to LS1088ARDB/LS1088ARDB-PB - How to create a DPAA2 network interface (DPNI) in Linux

The table below shows the mapping of Ethernet port names appearing on the chassis front panel with the port names in U-Boot and Linux for LS1088ARDB. 

Port name on chassis	Port name in U-Boot	Port name in Linux (tinyDistro and Ubuntu userland)	Description
ETH0	DPMAC2@xgmii	not enabled by default	XFI optical interface
ETH1	DPMAC1@xgmii	not enabled by default	XFI copper interface
ETH2	DPMAC7@qsgmii	not enabled by default	QSGMII copper interface
ETH3	DPMAC8@qsgmii	not enabled by default	QSGMII copper interface
ETH4	DPMAC9@qsgmii	not enabled by default	QSGMII copper interface
ETH5	DPMAC10@qsgmii	not enabled by default	QSGMII copper interface
ETH6	DPMAC3@qsgmii	not enabled by default	QSGMII copper interface
ETH7	DPMAC4@qsgmii	not enabled by default	QSGMII copper interface
ETH8	DPMAC5@qsgmii	eth0 by default (or eth1 if PCI Express network interface card is discovered first)	QSGMII copper interface
ETH9	DPMAC6@qsgmii	not enabled by default	QSGMII copper interface
