Hi,
How can the QPENet (Ethernet Quad Port Ethernet adapter board) be used with our Linux SDK 8.00.00? I can't find any mention in the users guide. For SDK7 it was required to use a patch to get QSGMII working, so is this still needed with SDK8?
Thanks,
Robert
Thanks Vineet!
When following the instructions, will this enable the Ethernet ports from the QPENet Board? What about the optional GESI board, is this required as well?
It's little bit confusing when looking at the doc here:
https://software-dl.ti.com/jacinto7/esd/processor-sdk-rtos-jacinto7/latest/exports/docs/ethfw/docs/user_guide/ethfw_c_ug_top.html#ethfw_depend_hw
QpEnet and GESI are mounted in this example. For both boards the same naming of Eth ports is used (MAC Port 0-3):
...
There are four RGMII PHYs in the J721E GESI board as shown in the following image. They will be referred to as MAC Port 0, MAC Port 1, MAC Port 2 and MAC Port 3 throughout this document.
...
There is one QSGMII PHY in the Quad Port Eth expansion board as shown in the following image. It enables four MAC ports which will be referred to as MAC Port 0, MAC Port 1, MAC Port 2 and MAC Port 3 throughout this document.

Hi Robert,
Sorry for the delay. GESI card is RGMII only, for SGMII, Quad port board must be used. The original guide talks about enabling 8 port ethernet, which is 4 RGMII + 4 SGMII, hence the confusion.

Vineet
