LS1043argw RGMII

klh · ‎02-20-2019

Hi,

I have successfully built a custom board based on LS1043argw rev B. I'm using 2016.09+fslgit-r0 uboot files.

For the custom board, the here's the changes:-

1) not using sgmii in the architecture (hence no 4 port ethernet phy in the design), using 2 X RGMII instead using AR8035 atheros phy.

- Change rcw on bit 416 to 421 to 000000 (RGMII and RGMII2)

- Change rcw serdes protocol to 1555 (XFI, 3 x PCIE & RGMII) (hence, technically i don't have TSEC1, TSEC2, TSEC5, TSEC6 which belongs previously to RGW reference design having Vitesse phy), i still have 10G fibre optic configuration same as RGW reference design.

- On the changes on adding PCIE3 (since I choose serdes protocol 1555), i won't discuss here, coz want to discuss only the RGMII

- On schematic, 1 x atheros AR8035 (ethernet phy) is connected to EC1 = RGMII 1 having EMI1_MDC and EMI1_MDIO connected, having physical address 1

- another atheros AR8035 (ethernet phy) is connected to EC2 = RGMII 2 having EMI2_MDC and EMI2_MDIO connected having physcial address 2

- In the make menuconfig, i have enabled ethernet portion with the driver AR8035 enabled. uboot can recognise this driver as shown in uboot log below.

- In the ls1043argw.c file, i have added the line

fm_info_set_phy_address(FM1_DTSEC3, RGMII_PHY1_ADDR);

fm_info_set_phy_address(FM1_DTSEC4, RGMII_PHY2_ADDR);

- In the ls1043argw.h, i have added the line

#define RGMII_PHY1_ADDR 0x1

#define RGMII_PHY2_ADDR 0x2

- In the uboot log below, you can see that when I type mdio list, i can see only DTSEC3 recognised in uboot as AR8035 (which I can ping and flash software to nand without issue), but somehow I can't get RGMII2 (DTSEC4 enabled). The error says could not get PHY for FSL_MDIO0: addr 2

Kindly help, what other modifications in the file structure i need to do to enable RGMII2 (DTSEC4)? Many thanks.

Sorry correction on typo should be eth.c file:-

- In the eth.c file in ls1043argw folder, i have added the line

fm_info_set_phy_address(FM1_DTSEC3, RGMII_PHY1_ADDR);

fm_info_set_phy_address(FM1_DTSEC4, RGMII_PHY2_ADDR);

Hello kl h,

LS1043ARDB integrates two RGMII ports setting up as FM1_DTSEC3 and FM1_DTSEC4, you could do your porting based on board/freescale/ls1043ardb/eth.c.

I cannot find u-boot source code supporting ls1043argw, would you please attach your modified eth.c and ls1043argw.h? I will do some verification for you on my side.

Have a great day,
TIC

Hi YiPing,

here's the attachment...

we have modified in eth.c and ls1043argw.h

the other files are for your reference, in case you need them... the 2016 uboot is a very old structure...

klh · ‎02-21-2019

hi, if you need me to attach the screenshot of schematics on RGMII connections, let me know. But the RGMII 1 and RGMII 2 connections are exact same IC.

klh · ‎02-22-2019

one more item, on the MDC and MDIO pins on the cpu, i have pull high of 1.5kohm and 4.7kohm. Maybe it's too high resistor value? Maybe I should reduce it to 200ohm and 330ohm... ?

yipingwang · ‎02-24-2019

Hello kl h,

Please refer to the following section in Ethernet Management Interface (EMI1/2) pin termination checklist.

EMIx_MDC could be left unconnected since it is an output.

I didn't find obvious problem in your modified u-boot source code. Please check the hardware design.

Thanks,

Yiping

Hi Yi Ping,

Thanks for the lookup on the codes. I follow your advise and check on the hardware connections again. Apparently, during P1023, I use common mdc mdio from cpu to both the phy Ethernet @ address 1 & 2.

Here I further do the modification and connect both phy’s MDC and MDIO to EMI1_MDC and EMI1_MDIO. Now I don’t get the error anymore.

When I type mdio list, I get

FSL_MDIO0:

1 – AR8035 < - - > FM1@DTSEC3

2 – AR8035 < - - > FM1@DTSEC4

FM_TGEC_MDIO:

1 – Generic 10G PHY < - - > FM1@TGEC1

Hence, I think the code FSL_MDIO0 maybe referring to EMI1_MDC and EMI1_MDIO and not EMI2…

Regards

Hello kl h,

Please also refer to LS1043ARDB hardware design as the following, RTL8211FS is RGMII PHY, AQR105-B1 is XFI PHY.

Hi Yi Ping,

Thanks for the detailed description. It’s very clear for my modification of the design. We can now close the thread.

Actually I have another question on the I2C portion, but should continue with this or raise a new Thread in the community?

regards

Hello kl h,

Please create a new thread in community to address you other issue to make it convenient for other customers to searching from.
