Zynq GEM do not recieve packets

[dm.pogrebnoy]

Hi all. I try to bringup double-ethernet system on custom board with ZYNQ045. Marvell PHYs 88E1516 (are same as on Zedboard) with RGMII IF connected to PL and then thru GMII2RGMII cores and EMIO connected to PS.

In my configuration I use Petalinux 2014.4. 

ifconfig  output

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 02:22:A3:29:51:A2
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:5498 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:5498
          TX packets:146 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:49176 (48.0 KiB)
          Interrupt:54 Base address:0xb000

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

You can see that eth1 does not appear. But in boot meassges GEM1 driver configured in same manner as GEM0 driver (I think device tree is right). I can not understand why the interface does not appear in the list. This is the first misunderstanding.

Second problem is that I cannot see any packets received on eth0, although I can ping my PC from console and see ARP requests on it by WireShark.

In ifconfig output you can see that errors are presented in statistics. But I read all error statistic registers in GEM0 module and all of it are zero. I cannot understand in wich way ifconfig accout errors.

Maybe someone has already faced a similar problem?

And yet, I chipscope signals on both GMII and RGMII sides and for tx channel and rx channel of GMII2GRMII core and for the first glance its all are OK. I can see preaumble and other data of frames.

I found the solution for the first question. I should just manually up the second interface, i.e. I print

ifconfig eth1 up

ifconfig

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 02:22:A3:29:51:A2
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:13078 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:13078
          TX packets:407 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:138438 (135.1 KiB)
          Interrupt:54 Base address:0xb000

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 12:84:F3:5C:4B:85
          inet6 addr: fe80::1084:f3ff:fe5c:4b85/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:102 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:102
          TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:558 (558.0 B)
          Interrupt:77 Base address:0xc000

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

 As you can see there are errors and no packets received also by the eth1.

I found the solution to my problem. i just forget to set properly timing constraint for RX clock. I know, it is very stupid. When I set it I can recieve packets with no errors.
