Does iMX7D ENET2 support MII interface?

[ponomarev_ke]

Hi

I need some clarification about ENET2 in iMX7D processor. We made a custom baseboard for Colibri iMX7D 1GB module, where we connect second Ethernet controller (ENET2) to KSZ8041MLL through MII interface. Now I had a problem with this interface, Linux correctly identify PHY through MDC/MDIO pins and load KSZ8041 driver, I see clock on ENET2_TX_CLK and ENET2_RX_CLK,  but I can't see signals in data lines with oscilloscope. I played several days with dts file, but didn't solve the problem (dts file attached to this post)

So I decided to check information in Reference manual and found some strange thing. Table 11.1 in RM describes the external signals of ENET, and for signals RGMII2_RD[0:3], RGMII2_RX_CTL, RGMII2_TD[0:3], RGMII2_TX_CTL there is no MII interface in "Mode" column. 

Does it mean, that ENET2 doesn't support MII Interface? Or I just made a mistake in my dts file?

Finally, I have solved the problem. There was a mistake in my dts file.

I attached the correct dts file to this reply, maybe somebody found it useful.

Hi Konstantin

probably you used old Manual, latest has ENET2 description:

i.MX 7Dual Applications Processor Reference Manual
