I think a coworker has an ARM2, so I'll try to ask him on Monday.
Thanks for your help.
But while talking about ethernet on MX6: There seems to be a lot of issues with 1GB ethernet. Or is it just confusion? As I'm no expert on this, I'm really confused. That means that I don't know if we still really have some issues with it or not :(
The initial SabreLite boards (revision from September/Octorber last year?) had a hardware issue with 1GB ethernet. I was told that this hardware issue is fixed in the latest SabreLite boards with hardware revision D. But a coworker reports that it looks like GB ethernet even doesn't work with the U-Boot the SabreLite revision D ships with (?). Nor a more recent (patched?) U-Boot. I'm not sure if the recent (unpatched) mainline was tested, though. So this might be an issue of an U-Boot version which has SW patches for the old, broken ethernet applied, which now breaks the fixed hardware? Or is there still an hardware issue? I don't know.
I haven't worked with Gigabit Ethernet on mx6qsabrelite, but my understanding is that it has been functional now in U-boot.
Ccing Troy and Eric as they probably know all the details.
