imx6q fec driver ar8031 phy bcm50610

[lengyu]

Our imx6q customer board, we used the broadcom bcm50610 instead the AR8031 phy chip (RGMII interface). After we boot, we find in our shell command we can not execute the ping command and we find the RFMII_TX_CTL not have signals.

The log as follows:

root@freescale ~$ ifconfig

root@freescale ~$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.127 up

eth0: Freescale FEC PHY driver [Broadcom BCM50610] (mii_bus:phy_addr=1:18, irq=-1)

root@freescale ~$ PHY: 1:18 - Link is Up - 100/Full

root@freescale ~$

root@freescale ~$ ping 192.168.0.102

Who can help us, TKS.

I agree,  you need to add the driver for the new PHY you can find some like :

Hi Li.

Did you manage to figure this thing out?

Did you have to change any of the code (except for some MDIO command) to handle the Broadcom PHY?

Best regards,

Niklas
