FSL P1020RDB Realtek 8367 ethernet switch support

[jeypatel]

Hi All,

I am using fsl p1020rdb board. It is having on board realtek ethernet switch (8367). I want to add kernel driver and supported packages for rtl8367 switch.

However when I am enabling rtl8367 driver in kernel is getting crash.

The realtek switch version  is 8367RB-CG.

I went through the freescale kernel source code provided by freescale, but did not find any code or support for ethernet switch.

Can someone guide me if facing same issue or show me some path to resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & regards,

Jey

This documentation is quite helpful, thanks for sharing this. It definitely points me in the right direction for doing what I'm trying to achieve.

Look at the following pages about Ethernet swatch using under Linux:

and

Have a great day,

Hi Pavel, thanks for your response. So is there a generic driver I can use instead? How would a generic driver know which registers in the RTL8367 to alter for functionality?

Or are you saying there's no driver period? I've been unsuccessful in getting any reply from anyone at Realtek.

[Pavel]

There is no special driver for the RTL8367 in NXP SDK for the P1020RDB board. Usually special driver is not needed for Ethernet switch using.

Have a great day,

I'd be interested to know how this went. I also have a design which uses an RTL8367N part and I'm looking for a driver for it.
