Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN, RM48L952, DP83640
Hi TI,
We are testing the ethernet interface in RM48 HDK. Below are the doubts faced during testing.
i. Whether HDK supports both MII and RMII interface? Is there any HW/SW changes required in HDK board for testing the RMII interface?
ii. How to configure the RMII interface in RM48 HDK? How to determine whether the communication speed is 10/ 100 Mbps or Full-/Half-Duplex?
iii. How to read the 5-bit PHY address of the ethernet switch from the HDK?
iii. Is it possible to test the ethernet frame without the TCP/IP stack(ie only with EMAC transmit and receive)? Is there any tool available to monitor the ethernet raw data?
iv. Any sample application code available for interfacing EMAC module in RMII interface with external ethernet switch for RM48 HDK?
v. What is the purpose of Halcogen example application for ethernet ( example_EMAC_Loopback_TxRx.c)? How to test this application?
vi. On our custom board, we are interfacing KSZ8863RLLI ethernet switch (RMII) with RM48L952 MCU, is there any application note available on how to interface for the different switches?
vii. How to generate the 50 MHz clock from RMII_REFCLK (K19)? Whether this need to be configured in Halcogen? If yes, how to do it?
Please reply ASAP.
