Hi, We are working on getting Linux on AM335X Industrial Communication Engine board (ICE) [1]. This board has 2 Ethernet ports and each of them can be used either in RMII mode connected to the CPSW Ethernet MAC *or* in MII mode connected to the PRU Ethernet MAC. The decision about the Ethernet port's mode is made by the user by setting a jumper near the Ethernet port before power up. This is a boot time configurable setting and doesn't need to change at runtime. So 4 configurations are possible: ETH0 ETH1 ---- ---- RMII RMII RMII MII MII RMII (probably redundant and not needed) MII MII Based on the port configuration, software (u-boot or Linux) needs to set the right pinmux, set a GPIOs (that controls external Mux), configure an external clock generator and enable the right device driver for the respective Ethernet port. Clock generator needs to be configured because different clock rates are required for RMII vs MII mode. Now question is how all this can be done on u-boot + Linux? I already have a working solution where I create different DT blobs for the 3 configurations and have u-boot detect the mode and load the correct DT blob and also configure the clock. You can see how the kernel patches look like here [2] Is this approach acceptable? If not is there any better way to do this? Thanks. cheers, -roger [1] AM3359 ICE board http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdsice3359 http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_Industrial_Communication_Engine_%28ICE%29_EVM_HW_User_Guide [2] Device tree patches https://github.com/rogerq/linux/commit/9a9cf6a15f779fddf91dba2370627aabf19aeff5 https://github.com/rogerq/linux/commit/c87e8fa5b14f156a91883fd506e9dd8f7ccf95cf https://github.com/rogerq/linux/commit/d9cdd25e8c3878292d7f4180af8d3ac42b9645c4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
