Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hi, I would like to configure l2 lookup table dynamically how can I configure it ? Without using ECT tool how can I configure the l2 lookup table ? Any examples? Regards Atkinson Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hi @PavelL "In your code, there are missing shift values in entry[3], and missing or misplaced brackets in entry[3], entry[4], and entry[5]." I have implemented it as same as the python code sorry i am nots sure where i am missing the brackets and shift values. can you kindly provide me the aligned code which might be more clear sorry for missing out the brackets and shift It would be more helpful and clear if you provide me the exact entry[3],entry[4], entry[5] Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
In your code, there are missing shift values in entry[3], and missing or misplaced brackets in entry[3], entry[4], and entry[5].
To verify your L2 lookup configuration, you may consider setting the entry as a static one instead of dynamic — this can help isolate whether the issue is with the entry format or the dynamic update mechanism.
Also, please note that the "pretty tables" in the Python script are used only for formatting output in the command window — they do not affect the functionality or register configuration.

In Python script after writing the register value for controll2entry into L2_ADDRESS_CTL there were few lines of code which does adding a entry into "prettytable" Do we need to this also same and whether we have provision to do this ?? Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
There are missing shift values and incomplete expressions in entry[3], entry[4], and entry[5]. These may result in incorrect register values. I recommend comparing your logic against the Python reference script, which constructs the L2 entry correctly.
After writing, try sending a frame that matches the MAC/VLAN/port criteria of the entry and observe whether it is forwarded according to the DESTPORTS field.

Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
1. Bit Shift Syntax (<<, >>) It appears that some of the bit shift operators in your code were replaced with HTML entities like << and >>. This typically happens when code is copied into web-based platforms. Anyway, please check it directly in your code.
#define L2_CTRL_VALID_BIT (1U << 31)
should be: #define L2_CTRL_VALID_BIT (1U << 31)
2. Entry Issue There are several syntax errors and missing shift values in the CreateL2Entry() function, particularly in entry[3], entry[4], and entry[5]. These may result in incomplete or invalid register writes.
e.g.
((TRAPTOHOST & 0x1) << |
I recommend comparing your implementation against the Python reference script, which correctly constructs all six 32-bit words of the L2 entry.

Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
1. Yes, the host tools were originally developed for the SJA1110-EVM board. I personally use these scripts with debug prints to verify my understanding of register access. While you cannot run them directly on the S32G-VNP-RDB2 platform, the underlying logic can be adapted, since the S32G accesses the SJA1110 via SPI.
2. If you're looking for SPI read/write implementations for the S32G platform, you have two main options:
Refer to the SPI examples provided in the S32G RTD 4.0.0 package.
Alternatively, I recommend posting a dedicated question on the NXP S32G Community Forum, where the S32G support team can assist you further. I focus primarily on Automotive Ethernet topics, with limited overlap into platform-specific drivers.
3. If I understand correctly, you're referring to the L2 Lookup Table described in Table 1182 of UM11107. This table consists of six 32-bit registers per entry. You can see this structure reflected in the debug output from the Python script.

your code looks good. However, if you want to access dynamic tables by SPI, the entry addresses are without FF and shifted right by 2. As I already mentioned in some of my previous post.
So, #define L2_ENTRY0_ADDR 0xFF00008c should be #define L2_ENTRY0_ADDR 0x00000023
But it depends, what your routine spi_write_reg actually does.
Here is output of the write_l2_lookup_table.py , incl. my debug prints (tx/rx refers to data what would be seen on SPI wires by oscilloscope or by logic analyzer):

Any other changes need to be done Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
Answers to your question are related to your application use case.
You can create a dynamic entry absolutely anywhere, also in S32G or in SJA1110:
transfer the entry in any supported way to the S32G and write it to SJA1110 via SPI, or via Ethernet
or, transfer the entry to the SJA1110 via Ethernet and use internal AHB access
or, send a custom trigger event (GPIO, Ethernet frame, ...) to the SJA1110, create a dynamic entry there and write the entry via AHB access
or, ....
or, ....
There are examples how to write dynamic entry to the switchcore of SJA1110:
via SPI - python script write_l2_lookup_table.py
via AHB - source code of ECT server
Bets regards,
Pavel Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hi @PavelL 1.) So this change of accessing the register for Dynamic configuration need to be done in S32G or SJA1110 switch ? 2.)if via SJA1110 switch whether reading and writing the register by SPI need to be performed and where this implementation need to be carried in between SWITCH_DRV? 3.) where we can create our Dynamic entry so that it will get append in switch More Explanation would be great help!! Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
I apologize for late response caused my current workload.
I understand it might not seem straightforward at first, but the concept is actually quite simple.
The final register address depends on the access method - whether you're accessing it internally via the M7 core over AHB, or externally via the SPI_AP interface. The base addresses differ depending on the access point.
The register address is calculated using the base address provided in Table 2 of UM11107. For example, for the switch subsystem, the base address is 0x00000000 for SPI_AP access and 0xFF000000 for AHB access.
In your case, the register 0x8C (DYN_BE_LKP_ENTRY0) becomes 0xFF00008C when accessed via AHB.
Now, here’s where it might get confusing: the SDK driver defines the following:
#define SJA1110_L2_ART_LE_ADDR (0x3fc00023) /**< Address of the l2ArtLockedEntry register *
The SWITCH_DRV_Write routine shifts the address left by 2 bits (<< 2) for internal (AHB) access. For SPI transfers (used in cascaded switch setups), no shift is applied. So, 0x3fc00023 << 2 results in 0xFF00008C.
I hope that with the explanation above, it makes sense now.

I'm not aware of any supporting documents - that's a general knowledge, device independent. I have consulted this topic with Copilot and it should be possible to modify sja11xx_ftdi4232.py to use DSPI5 instead of FTDI.
Best regards,
Pavel Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hi @PavelL To use this script with the S32G-VNP-RDB2 or RDB3 board, the FTDI layer would need to be modified to communicate via DSPI5 on the S32G processor. How to do that? is there any supporting documents? Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
Q1: "So since the Linux BSP is pre-installed on the SD Card... will it enable dynamic configuration automatically?" A1: No, the BSP includes the DSA driver, which supports dynamic configuration, but it is not automatically enabled for all use cases.
Q2: "For configuring the L2 lookup entry via Dynamically using the write_l2_lookup.py (python evm host tools) whether that process remains same ?or for S32G-VNP-RDB board it will change" A2: The general flow for creating and uploading a dynamic entry remains the same, as described in UM11107 and AN12925. However, the write_l2_lookup_table.py script uses the FTDI driver to access the SJA1110-EVM via USB. To use this script with the S32G-VNP-RDB2 or RDB3 board, the FTDI layer would need to be modified to communicate via DSPI5 on the S32G processor.
Q3: "Whether it is possible to interface Laptop & S32G-VNP_RDB32 board creating a Dynamic entry?" A3: Yes, it is possible. You are free to develop custom software running on Linux to handle your own protocol over SPI or Ethernet to configure dynamic entries.
Q4: "and one more thing whether SJA1110_SDK_1.0.2 is a main thing needed for implementing RTM1.0.0 would that be fine?" A4: No, it is recommended to use the latest version of SJA1110 SDK 1.0.2 for compatibility and stability.
For further support, please contact your FAE or submit a ticket via https://support.nxp.com/s/?language=en_US. Thank you for your understanding.

Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
The Linux BSP is already pre-installed on the SD card delivered with the S32G-VNP-RDB3 board, so no additional action is required in that regard.
I assume you have successfully brought up the board (apologies if you already mentioned this in previous messages).
The BSP includes the SJA1110 DSA driver, which provides a range of useful features — including support for dynamic L2 lookup table configuration. The DSA driver is enabled by default.
As this case has evolved into a multi-domain topic, I’ve reached out to your FAE to discuss how we should proceed further.

If you're planning to do this from the S32G-VNP-RDB3 board, that changes things significantly. Will you be running the Linux BSP on the board, or do you plan to use your own firmware?

Yes, you're right — when the system boots, the static configuration is automatically loaded from external flash.
Let me clarify the concept of dynamic configuration in more detail.
The task of dynamic configuration can be split into two parts:
Assembling a valid entry — see UM11107, chapter 5.6 "Dynamic configuration"
Writing this entry to the switch — see AN12925, chapter 5.1.3.2 "Writing an L2 Lookup Table Entry"
There are three interfaces that can be used for this:
AHB — via the internal M7 core. SDK support is available, and the ECT server source code can serve as a starting point.
SPI_HAP — the host processor assembles a valid entry and writes it to the switch. This is what write_l2_lookup_table.py does.
Ethernet — the host processor sends a user-defined message (UDP, TCP, etc.), which is processed by the internal M7 core. The M7 decodes the message, assembles a valid entry, and writes it to the switch — so we’re effectively back to point 1. This is how ECT works internally.

In either case, there are generally three ways to update the switch configuration dynamically: From the internal M7 core From the host processor via SPI_HAP From the host processor via Ethernet so you are saying these are the only ways of updating the system dynamically ? if these are the only possible way, then configuring it in as a code which i provided will work or will not work ? and also the three process which mentioned here is it same as the ECT & write_l2_lookup_table.py? or these are different one !! Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
Could you please clarify your use case for using a dynamic L2 lookup table?
Personally, I would consider using dynamic entries in two typical scenarios:
When you want to maintain a common switch configuration across multiple devices and then "personalize" each switch dynamically after power-up.
When you need to modify the switch configuration at runtime based on application-specific requirements.
In either case, there are generally three ways to update the switch configuration dynamically:
From the internal M7 core
From the host processor via SPI_HAP
From the host processor via Ethernet
Does your use case fall into one of these categories, or are you aiming for something different?

I apologize for the delayed response due to public holidays.
Thank you for sharing your code. I had a quick look, and at first glance, it appears to align with the principles outlined in AN12925, chapter 5.1.3.2 Writing a L2 Lookup table entry. I also noticed that the #define statements seem to be reused from SJA1110.h, which is standard practice.
Please note, however, that an in-depth custom code review goes beyond the scope of our complimentary online support. Additionally, the timing and context in which this function should be called are highly application-specific and may vary depending on your system architecture and requirements.

Regards Atkinson Re: Dynamic configuration in sja1110 Hello @Atkinson ,
The method of dynamic configuration depends on your use case — it can be performed either by the internal M7 core or externally via SPI. Below is a list of possible solutions:
1. ECT (Ethernet Control Tool) Dynamic configuration via external Ethernet (UDP) frames. The internal firmware running on the M7 core receives the configuration and applies it to the switch core.
2. Modified ECT The ECT source code can be adapted to accept any Ethernet frame format (not just UDP). This allows integration into custom protocols or systems. The internal logic remains the same — the M7 core performs the actual register updates.
3. SPI_HAP (Host Access Protocol) The write_l2_lookup_table.py script from the host tools demonstrates how to configure the L2 table dynamically via SPI. This approach can be used by any external MCU or host processor. The logic from this script can also be ported to run directly on the internal M7 core if needed.
All of the above methods follow the same principle described in AN12925, section 5.1.3.2. The register-level flow is identical and includes polling the control register, writing to the entry registers, and triggering the update via the control register.

Pavel
