Hi, @Andrew: As you pointed out in another email, I have included Jay Monkman as well in this email to discuss further. @Jay Monkman: Yesterday, Andrew noticed that you submitted a patch series for NCN26010 which is a 10BASE-T1S MACPHY which uses OPEN Alliance spec. @Michael Hennerich: I am forwarding this email to you so that you will get the history behind this conversation. Please have a look in the below email for the clarification we need. Microchip's product link is below, https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/lan8650 We already pushed the driver patches for supporting the above Microchip's LAN865x MACPHY and the OPEN Alliance spec to the mainline and it is under review. Please refer the below link to get a complete picture of this patch series. https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230913152625.73e32789@wsk/T/ We have developed 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface Specification defined by OPEN Alliance TC6 group as a separate framework/generic lib and included in this patch series so that all the 10BASE-T1x MACPHY vendors can make use of it. As Andrew suggested, it would be nice if we all work together to make it better. Please feel free to share your comments/ideas to improve the framework. From my next reply on-wards I will include Michael.Hennerich, Ciprian Regus and Jay Monkman in the "--to" or "--cc" so that we can share our ideas and comments. I have brought everyone in this email so that we all in sync discussing the same topic and sharing our ideas. Please stick with this email or other patch series email for further communications to share all our ideas. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any query on this.

Microchip's LAN865x is a 10BASE-T1S MACPHY and Analog Devices's ADIN1110 is a 10BASE-T1L MACPHY. So as you said 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface Specification defined by OPEN Alliance TC6 group can be applicable for both of the devices. I also noticed that ADI's datasheet says ADIN1110 supports OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY serial interface. https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/adin1110.pdf But in my first glance in their driver code, I don't see any code block which implements 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface Specification defined by OPEN Alliance TC6 group. Or do I miss anything here?. My code reference is below FYR, https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6-rc2/source/drivers/net/ethernet/adi/adin1110.c OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface Specification cab be downloaded from the below link, https://opensig.org/automotive-ethernet-specifications/ I think Alexandru Tachici from ADI would be able to give us more information on this direction. > > Am Fri, Sep 08, 2023 at 07:59:13PM +0530 schrieb Parthiban Veerasooran: >> This patch series contain the below updates, >> - Adds support for OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MACPHY Serial Interface in the >> net/ethernet/oa_tc6.c. > > So this implements the "10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY Serial Interface > Specification" which is Ethernet over SPI if I understand correctly? > The above mentioned chip claims do use the same interface and the same > standard.

As I mentioned above, in my first glance in their driver code, I don't see any code block which implements 10BASE-T1x MAC_PHY Serial Interface Specification defined by OPEN Alliance TC6 group.

Of course, if their device supports OPEN Alliance then we can use this oa_tc6.c framework to support other 10BASE-T1x MACPHY's as well. > > (Added the other driver author to Cc.) Ok thanks.
