We are trying to have rstp [1] on a OMAP L138 evm board connected to a Micrel KSZ8873RLL [2] [3] switch evm board.
We connect the davinci_emac to micrel switch with option DA850_EVM_PHY_ID "" that allows to connect direct to a MAC and it works, we can communicate over switch interfaces.
The goal is to have two eth* and the kernel bridge module on OMAP to be able to use a software that manages the packages associated with rstp protocol.
So any idea if is possible to create a virtual (or something similar) ethn interface, that on reality uses other (for example eth0) and other phy ? In this way I wil be able to have two interfaces and the program runs.
Have another suggestion to be able to connect two network interfaces to OMAP L138 ?
