Ethernet PHY Linux drivers & tools
ETHERNET-SW
Overview
The Linux drivers for Texas Instruments' Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceivers support communication through the serial management interface (MDC/MDIO) to configure and read PHY registers.
The USB-2-MDIO software lets you directly access the registers during debug and prototyping. This tool supports all TI Ethernet PHYs.
Enabling driver support
Configure kernel with "make menuconfig" (alternatively use "make xconfig" or "make nconfig")
Menuconfig location
//Change symbol field in example below to match the part number
Symbol: DP83848_PHY [=y]
Type: tristate
Prompt: Driver for Texas Instruments DP83848 PHY
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
-> PHY Device support and infrastructure (PHYLIB [=y])
Defined at drivers/net/phy/Kconfig:144
Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && PHYLIB [=y]
