Linux/DP83867IR: PHY Driver Implementaion guide for Sitara Processor Linux SDK

Guru 15520 points
Part Number: DP83867IR


Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

I have a question about DP83867 Linux Driver.

I know that TI are providing DP83867 Linux Driver in the following TI web page.
www.tij.co.jp/.../dp83867sw-linux

My customer are requesting the details of how to implement the driver to the
AM572x Processor Linux SDK. Is there any documentaion or information?

best regards,
g.f.

  • Hi,

    This driver is actually in the latest TISDK (mainline kernel as well). See drivers/net/phy/dp83867.c. In order to integrate it in the kernel, have a look at the linux kernel documentation:
    Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ti,dp83867.txt ==> guide for the dts node related to this phy.

    To build the driver in the linux kernel image upon compilation, you need to check drivers/net/phy/Kconfig for details:
    config DP83867_PHY
    tristate "Drivers for Texas Instruments DP83867 Gigabit PHY"
    ---help---
    Currently supports the DP83867 PHY.

    Best Regards,
    Yordan
