MAC-ENET doesn't send data in TX

Hello everyone,

We are currently trying to get Linux running on our custom Board.

At this point i'm realy exhausted because of the MAC_ENET.

The Kernel Source we are using is intended for the Vybrid and we are just modifing it

to fit our needs. The Bootloader which is loading the Kernel and preparing the clock settings, is our

own source.

On boot the PHY controller is found and the corresponding driver is loaded. Additionaly

i get informed if the ethernet-cable is pluged in. I assume this information are transfered via MDIO.

But at the point where "sending discover..." is issued by BusyBox i cant see any action on the

TXEN Pin(Oscilloscope used).

My question is now, what could be the Problem assuming, that the Kernel code is correct.

//Kernelcode works with the corresponding example board. Based on the fact, that the action i want to see is pure vybrid and not depending on the architekture/board below.

Hi, have you tried to enable the internal MAC loopback to find out whether the issue is in MAC or in PHY?

Hello Torben,

We are not in possession of ArmstoneA5 hardware,  it is a Vybrid variant we are not currently supporting in our own Vybrid efforts. Given that you are using a completely custom bootloader, this issue could be the result of improper initialization of the hardware there. Is this issue booting your custom bootloader, or the reference U-boot provided by F&S? As we are not supporting this hardware currently, perhaps an F&S engineer can assist karinavalencia?

Thank you,

Hello Torben,

Can you provide details on U-boot version (or is this a completely custom bootloader?), Linux kernel version, and what reference hardware your design is based on?

Can you also provide a boot log?

Thank you,

Hello Timesys,

The Bootloader is a completely custom Bootloader. We are running Linux Kernel Version 3.0.15 based on the kernel sources for the the armstoneA5 produced by F+S Net.

I know there is still a lot of stuff to do ;-)

As you can see the PHY Chip is correct found and the driver loaded. Attached with my Oscilloscope i can see activity on the MDIO-Pins and also on the RX Pins (PHY to MAC_ENET). But not on the TX Pins as i would expect it when "sending discover". 
What i did next i navigated to the xmit function where as far as i can see it, the virtual adress used is correct, based on the previous call of ioremap.

But when triggered (Write to TDAR) no activity on the pin.

Now i'm wondering if i maybe missed some dependencies on the clock settings or something like this.

Best regards Torben
