Introduction

The gigabit Ethernet controller (GEM) implements a 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet MAC that is compatible with the IEEE Standard for Ethernet (IEEE Std 802.3-2008) and capable of
operating in either half or full-duplex mode in 10/100 mode and full-duplex in 1000 mode. The processing system (PS) is equipped with four gigabit Ethernet controllers. Each
controller can be configured independently. Each controller uses a reduced gigabit media independent interface (RGMII) v2.0 (to save pins).

Fixed Link Support in ZynqMP

Following are the steps to verify fixed link support in ZynqMP.
  • Create a design with both GEM2 and GEM3 available and loop back one to the other as mention in below wiki
Zynq Ultrascale Fixed Link PS Ethernet Demo
  • Once the design is created export to sdk and create lwip echoserver application to run from R5 processor.
  • In this application just confirm that it uses GEM2 in file src/platform_config.h
  • In lwip echo server application linkerscript go and modify linker address to 0x10000000 such that it was not overwritten by FSBL or any other images.
  • Go to bsp and change bsp settings to select uart1.
  • Now got to the corresponding bsp and then to libsrc>lwip141>src>contrib>ports>xilinx>netif>xemacpsif_physpeed.c
  • Open the file emacpsif_physpeed.c and go to routine phy_setup.c, comment the line "link_speed=get_IEEE_phy_speed(xemacpsp, phy_addr);" and assign link_speed=1000; Note that same speed should be given in u-boot dts.
  • Now save and build it.
  • Create FSBL for this design from SDK.
  • Also create ATF and PMUFW.
  • Now build u-boot for zcu102 with below changes in dts
diff --git a/arch/arm/dts/zynqmp-zcu102-revA.dts b/arch/arm/dts/zynqmp-zcu102-revA.dts

};
+ fixed-link {

+ };

};
  • Create a bootable BOOT.BIN using bif with images (pmufw, fsbl, bitstream, lwipapp, atf, u-boot).
  • Copy the BOOT.BIN onto SD card and boot from SD on ZCU102 board.
  • Open com0 port and you should see lwip prints and wait for print "TCP echo server started @ port 7".
  • Now come back to u-boot prompt and set ipaddr as 192.168.1.1 using setenv.
  • Now, ping lwip echoserver running on R5 from u-boot and it should success as shown below u-boot log.
ZynqMP> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
ZynqMP> ping 192.168.1.10
Using ethernet@ff0e0000 device
host 192.168.1.10 is alive
