DP83867ERGZ-R-EVM: No signal except channel A-1000M comformance testing using DP83867ERGZ-R-EVM as IUT

Part Number: DP83867ERGZ-R-EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB-2-MDIO

Dear hi-tech fellows,

We are using the DP83867ERGZ-R-EVM as an Instrument under testing (IUT) for 1000M ethernet conformance testing.

BUT ONLY get signal from A channel,  NO signals from B,C,D channels. (no matter in mode 1, 2, 3, 4)

Referencing "How to Configure DP838XX for Ethernet Compliance testing", 

with USB-2-MDIO (a TI tool)，we  put REGISTER 0025 = 0x0480 ,then read,  it shows 0000!

read REGISTER 0025 = 0x0000

We are not sure if there is something wrong with this REGISTER.

Other REGISTER such as  REGISTER 0009= 0x3B00 is OK!

We are looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely , Mu

    Hello,

    Thank you for submitting your question. Can you please try other registers besides reg0x9?

    Can you try reading registers 0x0 to 0x9 as well? 

    Thanks,

    Cecilia

    hi, Cecilia,

    Thank you for your reply!

    other registers besides reg0x9 are shown in the following pictures (mode1,2,3,4).

    mode1:                                                                                                                              

     mode2

    mode3:                                                                                                  

    mode4

    The results of the registers 0x0 to 0x9: (mode1,2,3,4)

    mode1:                                                                                

    mode2:

     mode3:

    Thanks!

    Hi Mu,

    Can you try writing to the registers again by selected 'Yes' to the extended registers?

    Thanks,

    Hi Mu,

    there comes no Signal on B,C,D because the register isn't set correct,

    Register 0x0025 is a extended register, so the communication is a little bit more complicated.

    The datasheet decribes it in :8.4.2.1ExtendedAddressSpaceAccess

    I don't have the software USB-2-MDIO bis please check, that if you want to write to an extended register like 0x25 the Dropdown "Extended Register" is yes.
