Connect the Ethernet loopback cables to the EMAC Ethernet port (RJ-45) on the board. Check below table for the details of EMAC Ethernet ports used by the test on different platforms.

Hi, I did connect it to J12 , the board is sending packets but it's not receiving any. Do I need additional setup to my host?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

I'm assuming that the starting point is the Processor SDK RTOS 5.03 release and that you are using the prebuilt images to run the diagnostic test. Please confirm.

After that please refer to the link: http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/docs/latest/rtos/index_board.html#emac-test for the Test accessories.

Are you connecting the Loopback cable to the J12 port?

I just validated this at my end and it works and the test indicates that it is passing. I would recommend that you check the cable.

Regards

Karthik

Hi Karthik,

Yes I'm using 5.03, prebuilt images and j12 port. The icssgEmac test seems to work fine so the cable is ok.

Hi,

Also system test also verified those. "The icssgEmac test seems to work fine so the cable is ok."===========> ICSSG I believe is that you connect TWO ports with an Ethernet cable.

For GMAC, what you need is an Ethernet loopback cable. Is this something below you used?

Hi Eric and thanks for the clarification, no I do not have such a ethernet plug, I understand my problem now.
