Description

Driver API for Ethernet PHY Peripheral (Driver_ETH_PHY.h)

The following section describes the Ethernet PHY Interface as defined in the Driver_ETH_PHY.h header file.

The Driver_ETH_PHY.h contains two #defines that are used to configure the connection between the PHY and the microcontroller device:

Usually, the Serial Management Interface (SMI) (using MDC and MDIO) is used to access the PHY’s internal registers to read the state of the link (up/down), duplex mode, speed, and to restart auto-negotiation etc. SMI is a serial bus, which allows to connect up to 32 devices. Devices on the bus are accessed using a 5-bit device address. A default device address is hardware configurable by pin-strapping on the device (some pins are sampled when a reset is asserted or at power-up).

The device’s internal weak pull-up or pull-down resistors define a default device address. This address can be changed by connecting strong pull-up or pull-down resistors externally. In this case, the ETH_PHY_ADDR needs to be defined by the user.

If a microcontroller device offers more than one Ethernet PHY driver, the user needs to set the correct ETH_PHY_NUM in his application.

Data Structure Documentation

struct ARM_DRIVER_ETH_PHY

Access structure of the Ethernet PHY Driver.

The functions of the Ethernet PHY are accessed by function pointers exposed by this structure. Refer to Common Driver Functions for overview information.

Each instance of an Ethernet PHY provides such an access struct. The instance is identified by a postfix number in the symbol name of the access struct, for example:

  • Driver_ETH_PHY0 is the name of the access struct of the first instance (no. 0).
  • Driver_ETH_PHY1 is the name of the access struct of the second instance (no. 1).

A configuration setting in the middleware allows connecting the middleware to a specific driver instance Driver_ETH_PHYn. The default is 0, which connects a middleware to the first instance of a driver.

Function Documentation

ARM_DRIVER_VERSION ARM_ETH_PHY_GetVersion ( void  )

Get driver version.

Returns
ARM_DRIVER_VERSION

The function ARM_ETH_PHY_GetVersion returns version information of the driver implementation in ARM_DRIVER_VERSION

  • API version is the version of the CMSIS-Driver specification used to implement this driver.
  • Driver version is source code version of the actual driver implementation.

Example:

extern ARM_DRIVER_ETH_PHY Driver_ETH_PHY0;
ARM_DRIVER_ETH_PHY *drv_info;
void setup_ethernet_phy (void) {
ARM_DRIVER_VERSION version;
drv_info = &Driver_ETH_PHY0;
version = drv_info->GetVersion ();
if (version.api < 0x10A) { // requires at minimum API version 1.10 or higher
// error handling
return;
}
}
int32_t ARM_ETH_PHY_Initialize ( ARM_ETH_PHY_Read_t  fn_read,
ARM_ETH_PHY_Write_t  fn_write 
)

Parameters
[in]fn_readPointer to ARM_ETH_MAC_PHY_Read
[in]fn_writePointer to ARM_ETH_MAC_PHY_Write
Returns
Status Error Codes

The function ARM_ETH_PHY_Initialize initializes the Ethernet PHY interface. It is called when the middleware component starts operation.

The ARM_ETH_PHY_Initialize function performs the following operations:

Example:

int32_t ARM_ETH_PHY_Uninitialize ( void  )

De-initialize Ethernet PHY Device.

Returns
Status Error Codes

The function ARM_ETH_PHY_Uninitialize de-initializes the resources of Ethernet PHY interface.

It is called when the middleware component stops operation and releases the software resources used by the interface.

int32_t ARM_ETH_PHY_PowerControl ( ARM_POWER_STATE  state)

Control Ethernet PHY Device Power.

Parameters
[in]statePower state
Returns
Status Error Codes

The function ARM_ETH_PHY_PowerControl operates the power modes of the Ethernet PHY interface.

The parameter state sets the operation and can have the following values:

  • ARM_POWER_FULL : set-up peripheral for data transfers, enable interrupts (NVIC) and optionally DMA. Can be called multiple times. If the peripheral is already in this mode the function performs no operation and returns with ARM_DRIVER_OK.
  • ARM_POWER_LOW : may use power saving. Returns ARM_DRIVER_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED when not implemented.
  • ARM_POWER_OFF : terminates any pending data transfers, disables peripheral, disables related interrupts and DMA.

Refer to Function Call Sequence for more information.

Example:

int32_t ARM_ETH_PHY_SetInterface ( uint32_t  interface)

Set Ethernet Media Interface.

Parameters

The function ARM_ETH_PHY_SetInterface specifies the Media Interface Types that links the Ethernet MAC and Ethernet PHY. After initialization of the PHY interface, you can set the media type. The function ARM_ETH_MAC_GetCapabilities retrieves the media interface type encoded in the data field media_interface of the structure ARM_ETH_MAC_CAPABILITIES.

The parameter interface can have the following values:

Parameter interface Media Type

Some interface values may be unsupported by a driver implementation. For example ARM_ETH_INTERFACE_SMII may return ARM_DRIVER_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED.

Example:

static ARM_ETH_MAC_CAPABILITIES capabilities;
static ARM_DRIVER_ETH_MAC *mac;
static ARM_DRIVER_ETH_PHY *phy;
mac = &Driver_ETH_MAC0;
phy = &Driver_ETH_PHY0;
// Initialize Media Access Controller
capabilities = mac->GetCapabilities ();
...
status = phy->SetInterface (capabilities.media_interface);
if (status != ARM_DRIVER_OK) ... // error handling
status = phy->SetMode (ARM_ETH_PHY_AUTO_NEGOTIATE);
