I use ksz8863rll on my board using RMII. My board is similar with imx6q_sabresd only using  10/100M switch instead of GRMII.  I have changed some code accroding OTT TV .

Now it can run, but when I insert only net1 wire it can work ok.the display is  as folw:

root@freescale ~$ PHY: 1:01 - Link is Up - 100/Full

but  I insert only net2 wire it cann't work.

it seems net1 port is master and net2 is slave.

why?

For the switch chip, it has one uplink port and two down link port, one of the down link port is connected to iMX6 fec directly, you can connect the uplink port to internet and connect a PC to another down link port, then both the PC and iMX6 board can access internet from the uplink port. This is the use case for this chip.

By the way, there is no KSZ8863 driver in uboot, if you want to enable it, you need porting the driver.

Yes, because it is a switch chip, not a phy. It needs special driver.

I write a switch driver in uboot ,but when ping it cannot pass. and mdc clock is 2.5MHZ, GPIO_16 is 50MHZ.

MX6Q SABRESD U-Boot > ping 192.168.0.147

FEC: Link is Up 780c

That's correct. You would need a driver for the switch which is handling the PHYs.
