CPSW: how to setup dual MAC mode in Linux?

Yegor Yefremov

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3359

If using cpsw driver on am3359 board I can see eth0 only. Though I configure two slaves I get only one interface in Linux and if i look at the cpsw_probe() I see only one network device registered. According to the description Ethernet packets will be delivered from port1 to port 0 and from prot2 to port0, so port0 seems to be the only interface available for the operating system.

Am I missing something? How do I get both eth0 and eth1?

The second interface requires a SW driver which is planned to be released in the next SDK version at the end of the month.

Thanks for the quick answer. Will this SDK include both LInux and Windows EC7 source?

I've also read that there is special PRUSS firmware planned, that implements Ethernet controller. When will it be ready together with Linux/Windows driver?
