S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hi, Our hardware design connects PFE2 RGMII directly to the switch RGMII without a PHY. The PFE2 is configured with rgmii-id, and we have verified the 125MHz TX clock output. I have come across discussions suggesting the use of a common external clock for both sides. Is clock drifting the only concern in this setup? If so, is it possible to configure PFE2 as a clock slave and use the clock output from the switch to synchronize TX and RX? Thanks, XD Re: S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hello @XD,
I am glad you found the information helpful. Thanks for accepting my answer as a solution.
Best regards,
Alejandro Re: S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hi @alejandro_e , Thank you again for your help. This information is very helpful. Thanks, XD Re: S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hello @XD,
I can not access the technical information for the Marvell Switch, however, I see it is relatively similar to the SJA1110, for which you can check the following document: AN13335.pdf, in particular please check section 2.2 RGMII interface in page 8:
Let me know if this information solved your problem.
Re: S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hi @alejandro_e , We have a Marvell switch port running in RGMII mode, connected to PFE2 on our hardware. Thanks, XD Re: S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hello @XD,
To the best of my knowledge the same guidelines should apply to any device connected using RGMII, either a PHY or a switch.
with that said, can you share the RGMII device you are connecting the S32G3 to? So I can check if there could be special considerations.
Thanks in advance. Re: S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hi @alejandro_e , It's great that you're helping me again—I really appreciate it. The guideline you provided is for an RGMII-to-PHY scenario. Do you have any guidelines for a direct RGMII-to-RGMII connection without a PHY? Thanks, XD Re: S32G3 BSP41 PFE2 RGMII to RGMII without PHY on the customized board Hello @XD,
It is good to support you again. About your question, please refer the the S32G3 - Hardware Design Guidelines, in particular please check sections: 10 Communication Peripherals, 10.1.1 RGMII signal routing requirements and 13.3 High-speed routing recommendations.
There you should be able to find all the relevant information about RGMII on a HW level.
Let me know if you have more questions about this topic.
