How is the Ethernet configuration is done in LS1046A to use it for read/write operations?

[aravindkumar_na]

what all the registers must be taken into account for the above given operation?

When we are talking about exchanging data over a network interface, we
usually use terms 'send' and 'receive'. Did you mean that, or
something else, e.g. peripheral register access permissions, IO memory mapping,
etc.?

Have a great day,

Yes basically I was trying to send and receive data through Ethernet in LS1046A. Can you suggest me what all configurations must be done to make use of Ethernet(e.g. the configurations of registers related to Ethernet ).

Well, enabling a full feature DPAA Ethernet requires initialization of
1K++ locations so mentioning all them here is not feasible. DPAA is
an OS-oriented, sophisticated network engine,  the recommended
way to enable it in a custom environment is to re-use the
available Linux code:

https://docs.nxp.com/bundle/GUID-51EEFEDB-ABD5-40C0-BEBD-6527B3494D57/page/GUID-BA833D96-0E1B-4C1B-A...

If you wish to enable a bare minimum function subset to be able to exchange
network frames, you can have a look at FMan Independent mode which
is described in LS1046ADPAARM, Section 5.12.15

reference code for IM  can be found in u-Boot:

Hope this helps,

Well thank you I will go ahead and refer the LS1046ADPAARM  section 5.12.15 to understand how to exchange data using Ethernet.

So you are suggesting me to go through  DPAA chapter in LS1046ARM reference manual for basic exchanging of data through Ethernet?
