OMAP L138 EMAC receive problem

Andrew Setter

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83848-EP, OMAP-L138, OMAPL138

Symptom: Ethernet 10 Base T operation fails to receive data approximately ~ 1 out of 10 transmissions. 100 Base Tx receives no data at all. Same operation in both half and full duplex regardless of auto negotiated or forced.

Board config: OMAP L138B-EP connected to a DP83848-EP PHY using RMII. Davinci-EMAC controlled using UBOOT and/or Linux 3.3 kernel with davinci-emac configuration leveraged from OMAP-L138 LCDK MCSDK software package but modified for use with this particular PHY and RMII. Identical symptoms with both UBOOT and Linux. The majority of testing is being performed with UBOOT.

Variables eliminated:

1) Signal integrity. The symptom would seem to point directly to this, so about the first week of debug as focused on signal integrity. Ethernet-level signal integrity has been verified with scope captures, adjustment of termination resistor location, an addition of bypass capacitors with varying levels of capacitance, and using a different set of known-good magnetics. Symptom persists with same character for both external and internal PHY loopbacks (that utilize the OMAP’s EMAC).

2) PHY configuration. PHY hardware configuration verified with correct netlist and board layout to OMAP (schematic excerpt included), rbias resistor and voltage correct, PFBOUT connections (to PFBIN 1 & 2) and capacitors correct, and strapping mode verified through register inspection. All PHY-only built-in-self-tests always pass, both internal and external loopback. PHY harmonic distortion testing passes, shows good quality. 50MHz PHY clock is oscillator generated and input into the PHY with excellent quality. The RMII_50MHz clock into the OMAP has excellent quality.

3) OMAP system configuration. Pinmuxes are set correctly, and system level clocks and PLL registers are set correctly and legally (multiple ranges of speeds were tried). No known issues with RAM or Flash operations.

4) EMAC configuration. EMAC configuration verified by comparison with working network operation on the OMAP L138 LCDK dev kit, but with modifications only for RMII operation and configuration for the DP83848 PHY. Networking logic and procedures are verified to be correct according to the L138 and DP83848 datasheets, as well as known working with the dev kit. Due to the fact that the LCDK dev kit uses MII, and works just fine for 10 and 100 base T, heavy scrutiny was given to our RMII configuration to ensure we were configuring it correctly. Speed/Duplex/Autonegotiation configuration is verified in both the PHY and EMAC through register inspection, debug statements, and hardware scoping.

Where we are:

The attached UBOOT terminal output with debug statements shows dumps from both the EMAC statistics registers and select PHY registers during a successful communication sequence and a subsequent failed communication sequence.

The communication sequence operates as follows:

1) A ping UBOOT command is issued

2) EMAC device is opened, which initializes the EMAC and sets up the descriptor pointers. A statistics register block dump is performed to show clean all zeros.

3) ARP request begins and a broadcast data packet is sent out.

4) Laptop responds with ARP reply and is received. During a receive, the EMAC statistics registers and PHY registers are dumped.

5) An ICMP echo request packet is sent out.

6) An ICMP echo reply is received and the statistics and PHY registers are again dumped.

Items to note about a failed communication sequence: After the first ARP request transmit, there is NO RECEIVE of the ARP reply, even though we see it being sent with wireshark on the communicating laptop. The packet receive function gets stuck in a loop because the RX descriptor data never releases from its initial configuration. The value of the EMAC register, TXOCTECTS (0x01e23264), shows 0x40 bytes of good data transmitted, the value of RXOCTECTS shows ZERO bytes transmitted, but the value of NETOCTETS (0x01e23280) shows a total of 0x81 bytes RX and TX data. This implies the data was physically received by the PHY, transmitted to the EMAC over RMII, but for some reason not presented into the receive descriptor memory. A description of the NETOCTETS register implies this is due to the data being transmitted before a carrier-loss was experienced. But when we probe the CRS_DV signal on both successful and failed 10 Base T receives, we see the same one-toggle of the CRS_DV (indicating carrier sense was de-asserted). At the end of every failed (they all fail) 100 Base TX receives, we see 3 toggles of the CRS_DV signal (see scope trace). Because we see this every time, we don’t understand why sometimes RXOCTECTS is zero, and sometimes it is full.

Channel 1 (yellow) CRS_DV (at end of RMII packet)

Channel 3 (purple) RxD[0]

This implied that there might be a problem with us losing the carrier signal, and we are aware that we are not isolating the PHY’s analog power section using a ferrite bead and additional decoupling. We tried adding quite a bit of extra decoupling on our board 3x 0.22uF, 10uF and 100uF right next to the PHY’s analog section to hopefully quite it down enough, but we saw no effect on the character of the failures. It’s still not out of the question that properly isolating the quiet section would fix it, but it is very difficult for us to prove at this time without a board re-spin.

Therefore, any other thoughts on why data is not getting received?

Hi Andrew,

Have you configured CFGCHIP3 register (0x01c14188 -> 8th bit) for RMII mode ?

OMAPL138 SDI EVM board configured RMII by default in u-boot and linux source code.

From s/w side, You can refer to the source code of u-boot as well linux.

Hello Andrew,

I have some doubt and recommendation on your design.

1. Why 100 ohm series resistors on RX and TX lines ? Are these resistors provided based on SI analysis ?

2. It is recommended to isolate the PHY analog power from digital power using ferrite bead.

3. It is recommended to pull down the unsed TX lines in PHY.

You can refer the below application note specific to DP83848 RMII mode that explains the CRS_DV generation during read. You can also ensure the configuration settings as explained in the app note.

Senthil

Hi Titus,

Thanks for getting back so quickly. The CFGCHIP3 register was one of the first things we checked. I can confirm it is being correctly configured. This is verified by the fact that we can transmit data using RMII just fine. All of the other configuration items pointed out in your quoted code are also configured by our software.

Hi Senthil,

To address your concerns:

1) The 100 ohm resistors weren't the result of an analysis, but just as a general source termination preference. The signal integrity at pins of the OMAP is quite good. The PHY isn't more than ~1.5 inches away from the OMAP on our board.

2) This is something we know we didn't do perfectly. We think this could be a good be a source of the problem, but we're having a hard time verifying it without doing a board respin. We tried adding an array of decoupling directly on top of the 3V3 analog supply pin, but it didn't have any effect. It could very well be just not good enough as having it isolated with a ferrite bead.

3) This is something we weren't aware of and we can try adding some pull downs, although we have seem to have no problem transmitting at either speed using RMII.

We are very familiar with that app note and I can confirm we are configuring all of those registers in the PHY. This is verified by the fact that the PHY is transmitting data just fine using RMII. The PHY seems to be receiving ethernet data and transmitting it out on RMII. We're seeing the toggling of the CRS_DV line at the end of RMII receive packets (as described in the app note to indicate losing carrier sense) , but we always see the toggling, even during successful 10 base T receives. The scope trace I posted above is what the toggling looks like at the end of a 100 base Tx receives.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Hello Andrew,

Sorry for the delayed response. I believe the problem is related to Ethernet PHY side. So we are moving this thread to Ethernet forum for better support.

Regards,

Andrew,

Could you confirm the source of the 50MH reference clock to the MAC? It is difficult to tell based on the partial schematic provided, but I suspect this is provided by the 25MHz_OUT pin from the DP83848.

If that is the case, I think the issue may be timing on the RMII connections to the MAC. To check this, you could rerun your test after depopulating the series resistor on the 25MHz_OUT trace and wiring in the oscillator output as the 50MHz reference clock to the MAC.

Patrick,

It looks like you nailed it. We will do more checks next week, but it has been working beautifully since we made the rework you suggested.

Thanks!

Luke
