DP83867IR: SI test on 10

Part Number: DP83867IR


Hi Sirs,

Sorry to bother you.

We need check how to Configure DP838xx for Ethernet Compliance Testing.

http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla239a/snla239a.pdf 

The document only show Giga/100 have test mode, but 10 didn't. only had loop back

 We don't know how to start SI test on 10, could you help us to check?

Thanks!!

  • Hi,

    App Note has given two commands.

    10 Base Link Pulse:
    Reg 0x001F = 0x8000 //reset PHY
    Reg 0x0000 = 0x0100 //programs DUT to 10Base-T/Te Mode
    Reg 0x0010 = 0x5008 //programs DUT to Forced MDI Mode
    10 Base Standard:
    Reg 0x001F = 0x8000 //reset PHY
    Reg 0x0000 = 0x0100 //programs DUT to 10Base-T/Te Mode
    Reg 0x0010 = 0x5008 //programs DUT to Forced MDI Mode
    Reg 0x0016 = 0x0020 //programs DUT to Phy Loop-Back



    First one can be used for Link Pulse Test.

    Second one, Loopback is done to bypass the link-up check only. You can use internal PRBS generator to send the packet out and perform remaining test.

  • Hi Sirs,

    Thanks for your reply

    There have two command on App Note, one is Link Pulse and another is Loop back.

    So, these are general test on base 10 compliance??

    Thanks!!

  • Hi Sirs,
    Sorry for pushed, may i have your comment on this question?
    Thanks!!
  • For second, Loop Back is needed to enable Phy bypass the Link_up with link partner still transmit the packet out for Compliance test.
