Tool/software:
Hi,
we have a embedded system with linux kernel version: 3.18.48.
the Chip has a SGMII interface-and today only these SGMII- PHY drivers are supported by default:
/lib/modules/3.18.48/kernel/drivers/net/phy/
total 38

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15720 Sep 9 2022 broadcom.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14476 Sep 9 2022 marvell.ko
so we want to add/ use following driver: DP83TC812
here I found the drivers source github.com/.../ti-ethernet-software, but they look
like we need to build the whole kernel with them, not as a module that you could load with busybox modprobe <module> before starting the ethernet interface.
Unfortunately rebuilding the whole kernel of the device is not a feasible task...
is this driver also availbale as a module for a cortex A7 processor running Linux embedded-- then we could load it with busybox modprobe <module> and try out?
