DP83TD510E-EVM: Trying to simply connect 2 back to back as media converters using USB power

Part Number: DP83TD510E-EVM

So far after searching the forums I found that I had to replace R24 to 0R (only way to get the COM ports to show in windows).  That made it appear to work better as LEDs are now properly bright.  I seem to get link after about 10 seconds on the T1L side (maybe longer) (is that normal time?).  I am only using about 15 feet of shielded cat 5e using 1 pair and the shield cable.  So far I have only seen 4 packets actually pass through undamaged.  I have not run any scripts as I was under the impression by the documentation for what I am doing, that it isn't required.

Where do I start to get this working?  I went through all of the forum, but most are closed with no answer.

Thanks!

  • Hello Ian,

    Sorry for the bother. I will ask our EVM designer to get back to you on this asap.

  • Vikram,

    Thanks for the help!  Looking forward to getting these up and running so we can start distance/throughput tests.

  • Hello Ian,

    Taking a while to get the right person to have a look at it. I am working on it. It may take a day or two more.

  • Hello Ian,

    Can you please help us with value of PHY register <0x0003>?

  • Vikram,

    Register 0003 is: 0180

    To note, Had to power the one board I am serially connected to via USB, as it didn't seem to like USB and Bench supply at the same time.. Kept losing link on the RJ45 side (and other issues im sure).  I attached a pic to show the LEDs and jumper posistions.

    Here's some added info..

    Register 0010 is: 0001

    Register 0015 is: 09C7

    Also, the ADI dev kits I got has an issue too, but fixed it and they work great.

    Thanks

  • Hello Ian,

    Looks like the silicon version on your EVM is not the one under production. Do you have access to the production silicon? If not, you may have to load a software configuration in the device for the required performance. For the required software configuration, do let me know the following about the desired mode of operation :

    1. Driver mode of operation : 2.4V or 1V?

    2. Auto-neg on?

  • Vikram,

    I was given a AutoNeg initialization script, and after trying it, it now works.  I think I attached it to this message for other users.

    Interesting about the silicon. Our rep actually had us wait for the dev kits which have the newer silicon, so that is what I thought we got.

    Thanks!
