Use KSZ9896 as PHY on Jetson AGX Xavier

I’m trying to use KSZ9896 as PHY on Jetson AGX Xavier custom board.KSZ9896 connected over RGMII interface on port 6 and I2C bus.I have modified dtsi and ported driver,but it didn’t work. Please help to make ksz9896 work properly on Jetson AGX Xavier.Thanks a lottopic.txt (4.8 KB)dmesg20200915.log (84.6 KB)

Please check this thread.

Thanks for your reply.We have searched the information of ksz9896 on the forum, but no useful information was found.Can you help confirm our dtsi and dmesg log to see what the problem is?

Hi,

We had some experience with other forum users using KSZ phy. Turns out this is vendor issue too.
Please check this thread.

This is not the same as our problem.ksz9896 is a 6-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.There should be more than one ethx after loading the driver, but now there is only one.

Do you see it as a mdio bus device in the list?

We got ksz9896 driver from GitHub EVB-KSZ9477/KSZ/linux-drivers/ksz9897 at master · Microchip-Ethernet/EVB-KSZ9477 · GitHub
It supports i2c and spi bus.
we used i2c bus.

The KSZ9897 driver creates a virtual MDIO bus and exposes each port in the
switch as a PHY device under that MDIO bus. To access the switch from the
network controller driver a PHY device with PHY id 0 needs to be retrieved
from the virtual MDIO bus. Inside the PHY device’s private data is a pointer
to the switch structure. With that pointer all the switch functions can be
accessed.

Do you see the corresponding mdio device in /sys/bus/mdio_bus/device?

Hi,

Sorry that we are lacking of knowledge for such phy.
According to the driver, please check why phydev is null in eqos.

According to zire71’s reply on Sep 18, we have solved the problem.Thank you all the same.
