100M Ethernet Negotiation

[mattitoikka]

Is there anyway to initialize the ethernet/mac interface in MQX RTCS such that the PHY will force/advertise 100M only?

Turns out that the mqx/bsp project includes code/a driver to init/control a ksz8041 which does not include writing to the correct registers to only negotiate 100M for a different PHY...

Hello Matti,

Please check the Radek's answer in the next thread and let me know if this helps.

Sol,

Thanks, but the thread you linked seems to discuss periodically checking link status/speed in order to re-initialize the enet module to support adapting to different speeds/duplex when the ethernet connection is unplugged and re-connected to different switches/hubs during runtime. It didn't really help.

I need to set my PHY to only advertise 100M. It looks like changing “Auto-negotiation” to “Full_Duplex_100M” in the ENET_default_params struct in init_enet.c (for me it is located at mqx\source\bsp\myProject\init_enet.c, but may be different for others depending on how you setup a project) should solve my issue. However, I have made the change and my PHY still auto-negotiates...

Any other ideas?

Matti

Hello Matti,

Yes you are right, you need to change this setting in the ENET_default_params[] structure which is located in the file init_enet.c. In that structure change the second element from "Auto_Negotiate" to "Half_Duplex_10M" or "Full_Duplex_10M", "Half_Duplex_100M" or "Full_Duplex_100M".  After these changes you need to Rebuild the BSP, PSP and RTCS libraries.

Have a great day,
Sol
