      Resolved: needed to change the external pullups (2k2 now) on the I2C line.

        To conclude this thread (as I’m now giving up)…

        in Debian 9, dtb= and/or fdtfile= statements are overwritten by the findfdt= macro during boot. This makes it almost impossible to insert a custom device tree using uEnv.txt. The options are therefore:

        1. modify/rebuild u-boot
        2. use Debian 8
        3. implement changes as overlays (however this limits the changes that are possible)

          I think its a more deep-seated problem. Looking at the startup logs

          95: Using: dtb=emanip-arm-ctrl.dtb
          105: uboot_overlays: Switching too: dtb=am335x-boneblack-uboot-univ.dtb

          Looking into the u-boot source it seems that dtb= (and therefore fdtfile=) can be set to whatever in uEnv.txt, but is then automatically overridden during the i2c EEPROM check.

          Everything is pointing at the moment to needing a custom u-boot build, which I’ve been trying to avoid

            u-boot is loading a LOT of device trees in addition to my custom one! Is there any way to shut these down other than customising u-boot?

            in reply to: Ethernet port failure on 2nd stage u-boot #9290
            Mat Mat Mahermemaher

              and finally…

              PHY ADDRESS = 4 is hard-coded somewhere in the system: it is NOT being read from the custom device tree.

              I can say that now, as…

              1. Changing my hardware 2nd PHY address away from 4 to 0 (with changing the device tree to match) results in

              [ 18.311930] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:04 not found
              [ 18.353779] net eth0: phy “4a101000.mdio:04” not found on slave 0, err -19

              So something, somewhere, is hard-coding this address and it was just coincidence that I chose adr=4 for my second phy.

              2. changing my hardware 1st PHY address to 4 (leaving 2nd phy at 0) results in the ethernet port now working (regardless of device tree setting).

              So, I now have a working ethernet port. However, it doesn’t explain the root cause of the problem: maybe its the original suspicion of beaglebone overlays still being loaded on top of the custom overlay?

                ok, so my theory about the highest address doesn’t stack up. But, I can confirm that changing the PHYID within the cpsw {} device tree sections doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference to the PHYID allocation.

                I can also confirm that the extra 1.5k pullup isn’t the issue (now removed).

                I’ve modified the board as follows

                ethernet#1 = PHYID 5 (this is my eth0 port)
                ethernet#2 = PHYID 4

                1. setting the device tree to addresses 0 & 1 respectively results in ethtool detecting PHYID=4 as eth0 (aka it doesn’t work)
                2. setting the device tree to addresses 5 & 4 respectively results in ethtool detecting PHYID=4 on eth0 (ditto)
                3. setting the device tree backwards to 4 & 5 respectively results in exactly the same PHYID=4.

                Something is finding address 4 and prioritising it over everything, but I’ve no idea what. It still remains the same problem: eth0 works brilliantly, but only when a cable is plugged into eth1 – otherwise it doesn’t detect a valid link.

                  Two logs attached.

                  Later today I’ll attempt to physically change the phy address on eth0 to be higher than eth1 phy. Should confirm whether or not it’s just picking the highest number.

                    I made all the changes except for the allocation of MII vs GMII. Not sure where to go here, as the options are GMII, RGMII or RMII. As I’m using the full MII I didn’t want to head to RMII. Despite the MDIO problems, using GMII works fine: I get a very stable link up (but of course only when I’ve got both ethernet cables connected).

                    Interestingly, I tried breaking the cpsw_emac definitions by allocating PHY2 to the wrong address:

                    &cpsw_emac0
                    {
                    phy_id = <&davinci_mdio>, <0>;
                    phy-mode = “mii”;
                    dual_emac_res_vlan = <1>;
                    ifname = “eth0”;
                    };
                    &cpsw_emac1
                    {
                    phy_id = <&davinci_mdio>, <1>;
                    phy-mode = “mii”;
                    dual_emac_res_vlan = <2>;
                    ifname = “eth1”;
                    };

                    The end result was the same, it still allocated the eth0 PHY to address 4 (ethtool printout below).

                    This to me indicates one thing: the eth0 PHY address is being picked up as the last-found address from an automatic scan of the MDIO bus, NOT the device tree.

                    Still lost how to fix it though!

                      Thanks for the comments. I’ll make the amendments but I don’t think they are the route cause of this problem.

                      dmesg reattached, from what I can ascertain:
                      1. Both PHYs are detected correctly on MDIO ([1.171191] + [1.171200])
                      2. eth0 clearly gets brought up with MDIO:04 [17.571013].

                        Final bit of useful information. Both dmesg log and EthTool both list the PHY as being at address 4. So, what I think is happening is that the kernel is mis-configured between MII port and MDIO address. What should be:
                        MII0 == MDIO Addr 0
                        MII1 == MDIO Addr 4

                        is actually reading

                        MII0 == MDIO Addr 4
                        MII1 == MDIO Addr 0

                        This would explain why MII0 port fails if MDIO<4> says the port is disconnected.

                        However, this being the case, you would think that just swapping the cpsw {} entries for phy addesses would resolve the problem. Alas not: it doesn’t actually make the slightest difference: EthTool STILL reports address 4!

                          Some progress since, but even more confusing now…

                          The good news is that its now working. However, to get it working, I had to connect both ethernet ports to a valid target (including the one which isn’t actually being used)! If either Ethernet port is disconnected, then both fail to operate. Is this something you’ve come across before?

                          I’ll re-upload my files (with .txt extension): please let me know if you spot anything or can shed some light on why its operating in this manner?

                          My ultimate aim is to have the 3 ethernet ports operating as a switch (CPU as the 3rd). However, I’d settle for just one ethernet port operating (with the other disconnected) for now!

                          I appreciate your support!

                            Thanks Eshtaartha,

                            I’ve implemented the changes for dual ethernet as suggested but I think it highlights a more fundamental problem with my system! I’ll post in a new thread…

                              good suggestions. I followed them by putting an MSP430 as power/reset supervisor coupling to a supercap bank. Calculations show this should provide enough power to keep the system alive long enough to perform shutdown.

                              However, one problem I’ve got is knowing when the processor is actually shutdown. Of course the default response would be to wait for PMIC_PGOOD to fall, but this may be a very long time after the processor has departed. Reading a GPIO is the next best thing, but any application driving this will get removed before shutdown.

                              Can you think of any way to detect the moment of powerdown?
