The 10-gigabit Ethernet port cannot be used normally. AQR113C

hi,
We designed our own motherboard, which has the exact same design for the 10-gigabit network interface as the official one.
The software version is using Jetpack 6.2. The configuration has not been modified; it is the official default configuration.

After the system starts up, the following error message appears:

Could you please help me analyze where the problem lies? Thank you very much.

Based on the provided information, I’ll try to help you analyze the issue.

Firstly, since you’ve designed your own motherboard with the same design for the 10-gigabit network interface as the official one, and you’re using the official default configuration with Jetpack 6.2, the issue might not be related to the hardware design itself.

The error message you provided is not visible, but I’ll try to provide some general guidance on potential causes.

Given that the error occurs after the system starts up, it’s likely related to the initialization or configuration of the 10-gigabit network interface. Here are a few potential areas to investigate:

  1. PHY firmware: Ensure that the PHY firmware is correctly flashed in XFI 10G mode. You can check the PHY firmware version and configuration using the PHY firmware software.
  2. 10G MAC: Verify that the 10G MAC component is properly configured and initialized. You can check the 10G MAC configuration using the 10G MAC component.
  3. nvidia,phy-iface-mode: Check the nvidia,phy-iface-mode configuration setting, which controls the PHY interface mode. Ensure that it’s set to the correct value for your 10-gigabit network interface.
  4. nvidia,uphy-gbe-mode: Verify the nvidia,uphy-gbe-mode configuration setting, which controls the PHY interface mode selection for 10G or 5G. Ensure that it’s set to the correct value for your 10-gigabit network interface.
  5. fixed-link: Check the fixed-link configuration setting, which controls the link speed and duplex mode. Ensure that it’s set to the correct value for your 10-gigabit network interface.

To further troubleshoot the issue, you can try:

  • Checking the system logs for any error messages related to the 10-gigabit network interface.
  • Using tools like ethtool or mii-tool to verify the network interface configuration and status.
  • Consulting the Jetpack 6.2 documentation and NVIDIA forums for any known issues or configuration recommendations.

If you provide more information about the error message, I can try to provide more specific guidance.

*** Please give the thumbs up if you get answers you like. Or provide feedback to help us improve the answer. ***

Regarding the information you mentioned above, I’m not sure how to specifically check it. How do I view the firmware version of the PHY?

Did you contact the vendor and ask for the firmware of AQR113C?

Yes, I have already programmed the firmware.

please use MDIO tool to check the status of PHY . This sounds a hardware issue to me.

Report the following error

please review the hardware as below checklist is not able to be done.

  • Make sure that the PHY comes out of reset and is in a ready state (read the PHY ID by using mdio tool to ensure that the PHY firmware is successfully loaded) when the PHY reset GPIO is toggled.
