[FAQ] DRA821U: How to test RGMII with DRA821 on EVM

Part Number: DRA821U
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRA821

How to test RGMII configuration with DRA821 on EVM ? As only SGMII is enabled by default ?

  • DRA821 EVM supports only one port (Port 2) on the GESI card which is why QSGMII card (with 4 ports) is used to showcase multiple ports and that is the default configuration.

    The following makefile changes on SDK 7.3 illustrate how to enable Port 2.

    With this change, Port 2 (MAC Port 3 in picture) can be used to talk to the EVM
