TDA4VM: EthFW Client : Continuous setting of ethernet MAC is failing

Hi Dwarakesh,

Sorry for the late reply.

Can you answer the following questions:

• Are you using a MAC-only port or switch port for this script?
• How long does it take for the error to occur?
• Once the error occurs, is it continuous or it occurs spuriously?

I could not see this error on my setup. Can you provide me the changes you made in ethfw?

Regards,
Tanmay

Hi Tanmay,

Sorry for the late reply, somehow I missed the notification

1. It is not MAC-Only port, there is PHY connected to the port

2. Run it 8-9 times, it occurs

3. Once the error occurs no recovering out of it

I have the VLAN patches applied of the ethfw and I have configured 11 VLANs from Linux side

Hi Tanmay,

Few more logs that point to this issue, after adding VLAN patch of ethfw and adding 11 VLANs.

ifconfig eth0 down time, we see the following

Hi Dwarkesh,

Ethfw has two types of virtual ports you can configure, switch port or mac-only ports. See here for more details.

Can you share the VLAN patches with me.

Tanmay

Hi Tanmay,

The patch is taken from this link for VLAN : https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1011237/faq-tda4vm-how-to-configure-cpsw-5g-9g-ale

Addition of 10 more VLANs were added to it

Ethfw has two types of virtual ports you can configure, switch port or mac-only ports. See here for more details.

It is switch port that is configured

Hello Radhakrishna,

Can you please refer latest update on below e2e ticket and share logs with us.
