Ethernet device is not detecting on ubuntu 20.04 LTS on BBG

I have built roofs for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using omap-image-builder. I am trying to boot BBG using u-boot 2019.03, kernel 5.10.x rt and observed below error
[ 43.914095] cpsw 4a100000.ethernet: phy “/ocp/interconnect@4a000000/segment@0/target-module@100000/ethernet@0/mdio@1000/ethernet-phy@0” not found on slave 0

Most of the time Ethernet interface is not coming up.

Please provide solution to resolve the errors.

Thanks,
Mrudula

Use any kernel prior to v5.10.x-ti (v4.19.x/v5.4.x)… TI rewrote the cpsw driver, one of our hacks for BeagleBone needs to be redone, as the board boots it would previously remap the Ethernet to the actually detected mdio address…

Regards,

Can we integrate the fix available in kernel v5.4.x with kernel 5.10.x?

it’s something I’ve been working on… today i’d just use v5.4.x-ti…

PS, one thing that makes this fun to debug…

All day and well into last night:

[   20.926546] cpsw 4a100000.ethernet: phy "/ocp/interconnect@4a000000/segment@0/target-module@100000/ethernet@0/mdio@1000/ethernet-phy@0" not found on slave 0

First thing this morning…

[   21.155704] cpsw-switch 4a100000.switch: starting ndev. mode: dual_mac
[   21.287836] SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720 4a101000.mdio:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=4a101000.mdio:00, irq=POLL)

[   23.371138] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

Same board, same image… New day, different result.

This bug has always randomly affected small number of boards, so it’s always been fun to debug…

Regards,

Yeah, I agree It’s fun to debug kernel… I enjoy doing this. So just thought of looking into 5.4.x ethernet driver for TI

It would be a great help if you could provide some pointers to debug this issue…

Hi Robert,
Hope you are doing well.
Please share your input on above issue.

Hi @chougulemrudula switch to u-boot: v2021.10 as shown here;

and re-test…

Regards,

Hi Robert, Thank you for your quick reply. I am going to try U-boot v2021.10. I will update you on the same. As I am going through wiki, I observed that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS minimal rootfs is not available, and also the steps earlier I referred to have been removed.
Could you please provide the details? It would be a great help.

Appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Going forward, my plan is to only directly support Debian on armel, armhf, arm64 and riscv64 targets… Ubuntu hasn’t got much love over the last year…

Feel free to build it on your own via:

./RootStock-NG.sh -c eewiki_minfs_ubuntu_focal_armhf.conf

Regards,

All right, Thank you for the information. I would love to try building rootfs for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using omap image-builder.
Appreciate your help on the same.

Thanks

Hi Robert, I tried building and booting using U-boot 2021.10 version. I observed the same error and Ethernet Interface did not come up.

I verified MLO and u-boot.img file.

Yeap, that’s the issue… Right now the best option is to use the v5.4.x-ti branch…

Hi Robert,

I have been debugging this issue for a long time.

With Ubuntu 16.04 I have integrated phyreg utility to detect Eth PHY failure during boot-up and it reboot beagleboard if PHY detection failed.

Now I have integrated the same utility with Ubuntu 20.04 having kernel (5.10.87-bone-rt-r59), but it is crashing with the below errors.

[ 27.307149] wkup_m3_ipc 44e11324.wkup_m3_ipc: could not get rproc handle

It seems like memory map is failed or mmap address and calculations are not correct…

Please help me to resolve these errors.

Appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks

Hi,

I have below observations with kernel 5.10.x and 5.4.x kernel where PHY is failed

~$ dmesg | grep mdio

Please provide your views.
Thanks

So this is our old hack/patch that fixes things up… The mainline version of the cpsw was changed in 5.4.x to a new driver… Right now we don’t have a fix for this issue on newer kernel’s…

Regards,

Can we apply the patch available in kernel 4.4.x on kernel 5.4.x directly?
if yes, Please share the patch details…

Thanks

The patch has always been applied…

The am335x device tree’s no longer use that “driver” for the cpsw, instead it uses the new driver…

edit: kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git - Linux kernel source tree

Regards,

Do we need to change kernel configs to fix this? I mean should we enable CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV?

What can be an easy way to fix this?

Appreciate your valuable input.

Thanks

Already enabled…

edit, with the new driver, we are unable to grab the random register we use to read and re-set the address location of the phy…

Regards,

In the config file of kernel 5.10.89 , CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV is not set. will try setting and testing the same.

Thank you for your prompt response.

I’m hoping this will fix the problem.
