Hi,

I am in the process of creating a U-Boot port for Cogent CSB272 board (PPC405)

Working from U-Boot 1.0.0 tarball sources, I got CSB272 running. I still have some work done for it so I am not submitting CSB272 board support yet. Maybe next week or so after I complete work on it and make sure Linux boots OK.

Anyway, CSB272 board has Intel LXT971A PHY. I could not get this PHY working initially. After investigation I have found:

1) LXT971A requires some recovery time (~300usec) before any register access after reset. This is documented in the datasheet on page 70, table 40.

2) LXT971A requires some time after command is issued before polling EMAC_STACR_OC is valid. I am not sure why this is needed but it is needed for this particular PHY or otherwise it does not work. I have found this to be minimum 32usec. I used 40usec for some safety margin.

Thus, to get it working I had to patch two shared files:

cpu/ppc4xx/miiphy.c common/miiphyutil.c

The code added are conditional for each change and without those macro definitions it compiles exactly as it is right now. The macros are as follows (from my include/configs/csb272.h):

#define CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY 40 /* PHY COMMAND delay */ /* 32usec min. for LXT971A */ #define CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 300 /* PHY RESET recovery delay */

Here is the patch (I can resend it as an attachment if format is broken)
