(Synopsys IP blocks); it has been fully tested on STLinux platforms.
Currently this network device driver is for all STM embedded MAC/GMAC
-(7xxx SoCs). Other platforms start using it i.e. ARM SPEAr.
+(i.e. 7xxx/5xxx SoCs) and it's known working on other platforms i.e. ARM SPEAr.
DWC Ether MAC 10/100/1000 Universal version 3.41a and DWC Ether MAC 10/100
Universal version 4.0 have been used for developing the first code
the CPU while having the maximum throughput.
4.4) WOL
-Wake up on Lan feature through Magic Frame is only supported for the GMAC
+Wake up on Lan feature through Magic and Unicast frames are supported for the GMAC
core.
4.5) DMA descriptors
The driver is compatible with PAL to work with PHY and GPHY devices.
4.9) Platform information
-Several information came from the platform; please refer to the
-driver's Header file in include/linux directory.
+Several driver's information can be passed through the platform
+These are included in the include/linux/stmmac.h header file
+and detailed below as well:
-struct plat_stmmacenet_data {

int bus_id;
+ int phy_addr;
+ int interface;
+ struct stmmac_mdio_bus_data *mdio_bus_data;
int pbl;

int has_gmac;
int tx_coe;
int bugged_jumbo;

Where:
-- pbl (Programmable Burst Length) is maximum number of
- beats to be transferred in one DMA transaction.
- GMAC also enables the 4xPBL by default.
-- fix_mac_speed and bus_setup are used to configure internal target
- registers (on STM platforms);
-- has_gmac: GMAC core is on board (get it at run-time in the next step);
-- bus_id: bus identifier.
-- tx_coe: core is able to perform the tx csum in HW.
-- enh_desc: if sets the MAC will use the enhanced descriptor structure.
-- clk_csr: CSR Clock range selection.
-- bugged_jumbo: some HWs are not able to perform the csum in HW for
- over-sized frames due to limited buffer sizes. Setting this
- flag the csum will be done in SW on JUMBO frames.

+ o bus_id: bus identifier.
+ o phy_addr: the physical address can be passed from the platform.
+ If it is set to -1 the driver will automatically
+ detect it at run-time by probing all the 32 addresses.
+ o interface: PHY device's interface.
+ o mdio_bus_data: specific platform fields for the MDIO bus.
+ o pbl: the Programmable Burst Length is maximum number of beats to
+ be transferred in one DMA transaction.
+ GMAC also enables the 4xPBL by default.
+ o clk_csr: CSR Clock range selection.
+ o has_gmac: uses the GMAC core.
+ o enh_desc: if sets the MAC will use the enhanced descriptor structure.
+ o tx_coe: core is able to perform the tx csum in HW.
+ o bugged_jumbo: some HWs are not able to perform the csum in HW for
+ over-sized frames due to limited buffer sizes.
+ Setting this flag the csum will be done in SW on
+ JUMBO frames.
+ o pmt: core has the embedded power module (optional).
+ o force_sf_dma_mode: force DMA to use the Store and Forward mode
+ instead of the Threshold.
+ o fix_mac_speed: this callback is used for modifying some syscfg registers
+ (on ST SoCs) according to the link speed negotiated by the
+ physical layer .
+ o bus_setup: perform HW setup of the bus. For example, on some ST platforms
+ this field is used to configure the AMBA bridge to generate more
+ efficient STBus traffic.
+ o init/exit: callbacks used for calling a custom initialisation;
+ this is sometime necessary on some platforms (e.g. ST boxes)
+ where the HW needs to have set some PIO lines or system cfg
+ registers.
+ o custom_cfg: this is a custom configuration that can be passed while
+ initialising the resources.

Where:
-- bus_id: bus identifier;

-- interface: physical MII interface mode;
-- phy_reset: hook to reset HW function.

+
+Below the usage of the stmmac_mdio_bus_data: on this SoC, in fact,
+there are two MAC cores: one MAC is for MDIO Bus/PHY emulation
+with fixed_link support.
+
+static struct stmmac_mdio_bus_data stmmac1_mdio_bus = {
+ .bus_id = 1,
+ |
+ |-> phy device on the bus_id 1
+ .phy_reset = phy_reset;

+};
+
+static struct fixed_phy_status stmmac0_fixed_phy_status = {
+ .link = 1,
+ .speed = 100,
+ .duplex = 1,
+};
+
+During the board's device_init we can configure the first
+MAC for fixed_link by calling:
+ fixed_phy_add(PHY_POLL, 1, &stmmac0_fixed_phy_status));)
+and the second one, with a real PHY device attached to the bus,
+by using the stmmac_mdio_bus_data structure (to provide the id, the
+reset procedure etc).
