Subject: Re: How to debug Ethernet connectivity
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:39:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACTZKX7=ycyAhZxHsJ7k6K23HmMOsuYUVFYV8JFFmhr5=g8vyg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131210174536.GA7305@omega>

My problem is, /dev/phy0 never appears when I give the correct phy address.

Unable to find a PHY (unknown ID?)
dhcp failed: I/O error
dhcp: I/O error

Also, fec_probe function for fec_imx driver never gets called.
Ironically, I do not get an I/O error when I give the wrong phy
address. Still nothing gets detected and no device node appears, but
ethernet works(by forcing the line detect functions to return 0).


I will talk to the hardware guys to verify the pin muxing and phy address.
