Re: Pinctrl for using gem0 MIO interface

megan.gansfuss@keywcorp.com · ‎08-15-2019

We are trying to use the gem0 MIO interface on a custom Zynq UltraScale+, but are having some difficulties. According to the Technical Reference Manual, gem0 goes from MIO26-MIO37. However, when booted, /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/pinctrl/pingroups does not include MIO26 as part of the ethernet0_0_grp. When attempting to set the pinctrl in the device tree, the kernel error is "zynqmp-pinctrl pinctrl: zynqmp_pinconf_cfg_set failed: pin 26 param 1 value 0". Upon future inspection, I found the return value was -EACCES.

Has this been seen before, and what pinctrl settings would be needed in order to use the gem0 MIO interface? We do not believe we are seeing this error as a result of a conflict with another device using MIO.

The MIO portion of the device tree is:

        pinctrl_gem0_default: gem0-default {
                mux {
                        function = "ethernet0";
                        groups = "ethernet0_0_grp";
                };

                conf {
                        groups = "ethernet0_0_grp";
                        slew-rate = <SLEW_RATE_SLOW>;
                        io-standard = <IO_STANDARD_LVCMOS18>;
                };

                conf-rx {
                        pins = "MIO32", "MIO33", "MIO34", "MIO35", "MIO36",
                                "MIO37";
                        bias-high-impedance;
                        low-power-disable;
                };

                conf-tx {
                        pins = "MIO26", "MIO27", "MIO28", "MIO29", "MIO30",
                                "MIO31";
                        bias-disable;
                        low-power-enable;
                };

                mux-mdio {
                        function = "mdio0";
                        groups = "mdio0_0_grp";
                };

                conf-mdio {
                        groups = "mdio0_0_grp";
                        slew-rate = <SLEW_RATE_SLOW>;
                        io-standard = <IO_STANDARD_LVCMOS18>;
                        bias-disable;
                };

It appears that in the arm trusted firmware, PIN_26 is missing the ETHERNET0 group. The following fix seems to fix it.

Yep, same issue with ZynqMP with custom board using GEM0. I'll try next your patch, thanks for providing!

We have experienced some rgmii tx issues after we resolved the pinctrl issues. We believe it may be due to our board layout. Can you confirm if this patch totally fixes your issues? Thank you!

Pinctrl configures properly now at Linux bootup, but no help to GEM0 operation with TI DP83867IR PHY (RGMII). I have been reading that the TI part would have very weak drivers @ 1.8V and related problems:

https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Networking-and-Connectivity/EMACPS-receiver-problems-with-TI-DP83867/td-p/868522

https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Welcome-Join/DP83867-1-8V-VIL-Issue/td-p/678907

GEM0 / phy will show up under linux and: 'macb ff0b0000.ethernet eth1: link up (1000/Full)', but:

, nothing seems to move in or out of the Ethernet -cable when viewed with Wireshark at both ends of the cable.

Need to dump the DP83867 register/configuration values and debug more on physical level with oscilloscope to try to see what's really happening.

Same problem here on Petalinux 2019.2

Files structures, file paths and filenames seems to have changed for 2019.2

I cannot find pm_api_pinctrl.c.

Anyone have tried that patch on 2019.2?
