[BUG] network is broken on Orange Pi PC
Dear all,
network is broken in U-Boot on orangepi_pc_defconfig:

Hi Heinrich, I don't have OrangePi. can you bisect and tell me when it broke ? Thanks. Ramon.

net: sun8i-emac: Lower MDIO frequency
Reverting the patch solves the problem for the OrangePi PC.
According to the commit message the change was only needed for needed for external PHYs. Can't we let the change depend on priv->use_internal_phy?

According to the commit message the change was only needed for needed for external PHYs.
The external PHY on the Pine64 (non-plus) was the trigger, however both the manual and the Linux driver point to that we definitely need a higher divider. From what I can see, AHB2 (the EMAC clock) runs at 200 MHz (AHB2=AHB1/1=PLL6/3=200 MHz). So just having "/ 16" results in 12.5 MHz MDIO frequency. Can you check whether any other divider values fix this for you as well?

I would assume the problem hits all H3 boards.
And that's the confusing part: it does not. I tested this on my OrangePi Zero (H2+ with internal PHY), both back then with the original MDIO frequency patch and also now after your report. It always worked reliably for me. Also: I am still puzzled how one influences the other: The error you get is from the *MAC* soft reset: I would think this is an independent operation from any communication attempts with the PHY.
There is this thread here about the same symptom on a V3s: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-May/450315.html v2 of this original patch (in the same thread) proposes some other solution, which I am also not very happy with. But just to get some more data points: can you check whether skipping the soft reset fixes this for you? I will have a closer look tonight to check the order of soft reset and PHY communication. Maybe we should only do the soft reset *once* when the MAC probes, and not on every .start call?
Thanks, Andre

The MDIO spec says that the maximum frequency on the MDIO bus should be 2.5 MHz. On the H3 with 200 MHz AHB and with a divider of 16 it's 12.5 MHz. Apparently the internal H3 PHY can tolerate those high frequencies, but it's beyond the spec. And certainly it should not fail with lower frequencies. And indeed it works for me on the H2+ (which I understand is just a binned version of the H3).
The Linux 5.10 driver runs fine no matter what value we choose for the divider in U-Boot.
Because it programs the divider correctly: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/driv... I take it you have no problems with Linux, so the divider being too high cannot be the root cause of the problem.
So I'd rather fix this problem properly and correctly, especially as it seems to be more related to the EMAC soft reset (where your error message comes from).
But I see a message:
dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: Current syscon value is not the default 148000 (expect 58000)
@default_syscon_value: The default value of the EMAC register in syscon This value is used for disabling properly EMAC and used as a good starting value in case of the boot process(uboot) leave some stuff.
Yeah, I never got the reason for this message. If Linux wants a certain value, it should program that. Whatever was left by someone else (be it U-Boot or some other software/OS) should not matter.

What is wrong about the approach in
[PATCH 1/1] net: sun8i-emac: fix MDIO frequency https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-June/451305.html ?
The MDIO spec says that the maximum frequency on the MDIO bus should be 2.5 MHz. On the H3 with 200 MHz AHB and with a divider of 16 it's 12.5
The dts says for the MDIO:
int_mii_phy: ethernet-phy@1 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_EPHY>;
"ahb" refers to CLK_BUS_SPI1:
spi1: spi@1c69000 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_SPI1>, <&ccu CLK_SPI1>; clock-names = "ahb", "mod";
Why are you mentioning AHB?
MHz. Apparently the internal H3 PHY can tolerate those high frequencies, but it's beyond the spec. And certainly it should not fail with lower frequencies. And indeed it works for me on the H2+ (which I understand is just a binned version of the H3).
The Linux 5.10 driver runs fine no matter what value we choose for the divider in U-Boot.
Because it programs the divider correctly: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/driv... I take it you have no problems with Linux, so the divider being too high cannot be the root cause of the problem.
Function stmmac_clk_csr_set() depends on the rate of the clock named "stmmaceth":
ethernet@1c30000 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_EMAC>; clock-names = "stmmaceth";
How do we get the frequency of this clock?
Best regards
Heinrich
So I'd rather fix this problem properly and correctly, especially as it seems to be more related to the EMAC soft reset (where your error message comes from).
But I see a message:
dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: Current syscon value is not the default 148000 (expect 58000)

net: sun8i-emac: Lower MDIO frequencyReverting the patch solves the problem for the OrangePi PC.
According to the commit message the change was only needed for needed for external PHYs.
The external PHY on the Pine64 (non-plus) was the trigger, however both the manual and the Linux driver point to that we definitely need a higher divider. From what I can see, AHB2 (the EMAC clock) runs at 200 MHz (AHB2=AHB1/1=PLL6/3=200 MHz). So just having "/ 16" results in 12.5 MHz MDIO frequency. Can you check whether any other divider values fix this for you as well?
MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_16 = 0 and this is the value that was used before your patch.
MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_16 = 0 => Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete. done MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_32 = 1 => sun8i_emac_eth_start: Timeout MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_64 = 2 => sun8i_emac_eth_start: Timeout MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_128 = 3 => sun8i_emac_eth_start: Timeout
What is wrong about the approach in
[PATCH 1/1] net: sun8i-emac: fix MDIO frequency https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-June/451305.html ?
The MDIO spec says that the maximum frequency on the MDIO bus should be 2.5 MHz. On the H3 with 200 MHz AHB and with a divider of 16 it's 12.5
The dts says for the MDIO:
int_mii_phy: ethernet-phy@1 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_EPHY>;
I think that is the clock to drive the PHY logic, not the MDIO bus. It's a gate for AHB1, in this case, which seems to be 200 MHz as well (because rate(AHB2)=rate(AHB1)/1).
"ahb" refers to CLK_BUS_SPI1:
spi1: spi@1c69000 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_SPI1>, <&ccu CLK_SPI1>; clock-names = "ahb", "mod";
Why are you mentioning AHB?
AHB stands for "Advanced High-performance Bus", which is a traditional term for a (faster, data centric) bus interface in the ARM bus world. I am not sure the exact term is actually correct anymore with recent bus implementations, but the H3 manual refers to AHB everywhere, in particular as the bus name for the EMAC IP (figure 4-1 System Bus Tree). Apparently the bus clock is used as the clock source for the MDIO bus as well - after dividing it.
MHz. Apparently the internal H3 PHY can tolerate those high frequencies, but it's beyond the spec. And certainly it should not fail with lower frequencies. And indeed it works for me on the H2+ (which I understand is just a binned version of the H3).
The Linux 5.10 driver runs fine no matter what value we choose for the divider in U-Boot.
Because it programs the divider correctly: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/driv... I take it you have no problems with Linux, so the divider being too high cannot be the root cause of the problem.
Function stmmac_clk_csr_set() depends on the rate of the clock named "stmmaceth":
ethernet@1c30000 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_EMAC>; clock-names = "stmmaceth";
How do we get the frequency of this clock?
Have you checked /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary? You could also insert some printk to be sure. Otherwise the definition of bus_emac_clk and CLK_BUS_EMAC in drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-sun8i-h3.c tell you that it's a gate for ahb2. All of those point to 200 MHz on my OPi Zero.
Hope that helps!
Cheers, Andre

So I'd rather fix this problem properly and correctly, especially as it seems to be more related to the EMAC soft reset (where your error message comes from).
But I see a message:
dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: Current syscon value is not the default 148000 (expect 58000)
@default_syscon_value: The default value of the EMAC register in syscon This value is used for disabling properly EMAC and used as a good starting value in case of the boot process(uboot) leave some stuff.
Yeah, I never got the reason for this message. If Linux wants a certain value, it should program that. Whatever was left by someone else (be it U-Boot or some other software/OS) should not matter.

I would assume the problem hits all H3 boards.
And that's the confusing part: it does not. I tested this on my OrangePi Zero (H2+ with internal PHY), both back then with the original MDIO frequency patch and also now after your report. It always worked reliably for me. Also: I am still puzzled how one influences the other: The error you get is from the *MAC* soft reset: I would think this is an independent operation from any communication attempts with the PHY.

I tried this with my v3s which has only an internal phy. u-boot wasn't able to establish a connection with any speed and duplex mode combination. All i get is `ethernet@1c30000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT !`
Do you work with the internal or external phy @Heinrich? Did you try the default u-boot with a different speed and duplex mode combination and have the same behavior? Greetings andreas

Do you work with the internal or external phy @Heinrich? Did you try the default u-boot with a different speed and duplex mode combination and have the same behavior? Greetings andreas
I simply use orangepi_pc_defconfig. It worked out of the box in the previous release. Communication speed and duplex mode should be auto-negotiated.

net: sun8i-emac: Lower MDIO frequencyReverting the patch solves the problem for the OrangePi PC.
According to the commit message the change was only needed for needed for external PHYs.
The external PHY on the Pine64 (non-plus) was the trigger, however both the manual and the Linux driver point to that we definitely need a higher divider. From what I can see, AHB2 (the EMAC clock) runs at 200 MHz (AHB2=AHB1/1=PLL6/3=200 MHz). So just having "/ 16" results in 12.5 MHz MDIO frequency. Can you check whether any other divider values fix this for you as well?
MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_16 = 0 and this is the value that was used before your patch.
MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_16 = 0 => Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete. done MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_32 = 1 => sun8i_emac_eth_start: Timeout MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_64 = 2 => sun8i_emac_eth_start: Timeout MDIO_CMD_MII_CLK_CSR_DIV_128 = 3 => sun8i_emac_eth_start: Timeout
What is wrong about the approach in
[PATCH 1/1] net: sun8i-emac: fix MDIO frequency https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-June/451305.html ?
The MDIO spec says that the maximum frequency on the MDIO bus should be 2.5 MHz. On the H3 with 200 MHz AHB and with a divider of 16 it's 12.5
The dts says for the MDIO:
int_mii_phy: ethernet-phy@1 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_EPHY>;
I think that is the clock to drive the PHY logic, not the MDIO bus. It's a gate for AHB1, in this case, which seems to be 200 MHz as well (because rate(AHB2)=rate(AHB1)/1).
"ahb" refers to CLK_BUS_SPI1:
spi1: spi@1c69000 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_SPI1>, <&ccu CLK_SPI1>; clock-names = "ahb", "mod";
Why are you mentioning AHB?
AHB stands for "Advanced High-performance Bus", which is a traditional term for a (faster, data centric) bus interface in the ARM bus world. I am not sure the exact term is actually correct anymore with recent bus implementations, but the H3 manual refers to AHB everywhere, in particular as the bus name for the EMAC IP (figure 4-1 System Bus Tree). Apparently the bus clock is used as the clock source for the MDIO bus as well - after dividing it.
MHz. Apparently the internal H3 PHY can tolerate those high frequencies, but it's beyond the spec. And certainly it should not fail with lower frequencies. And indeed it works for me on the H2+ (which I understand is just a binned version of the H3).
The Linux 5.10 driver runs fine no matter what value we choose for the divider in U-Boot.
Because it programs the divider correctly: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/driv... I take it you have no problems with Linux, so the divider being too high cannot be the root cause of the problem.
Function stmmac_clk_csr_set() depends on the rate of the clock named "stmmaceth":
ethernet@1c30000 { clocks = <&ccu CLK_BUS_EMAC>; clock-names = "stmmaceth";
How do we get the frequency of this clock?
Have you checked /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary? You could also insert some printk to be sure. Otherwise the definition of bus_emac_clk and CLK_BUS_EMAC in drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/ccu-sun8i-h3.c tell you that it's a gate for ahb2. All of those point to 200 MHz on my OPi Zero.
I have appended clk_summary.
stmmac_clk_csr_set(): dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: priv->plat->has_sun8i 1 dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: clk_rate 200000000 dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: priv->clk_csr 3

Hope that helps!

So I'd rather fix this problem properly and correctly, especially as it seems to be more related to the EMAC soft reset (where your error message comes from).
But I see a message:
dwmac-sun8i 1c30000.ethernet: Current syscon value is not the default 148000 (expect 58000)
@default_syscon_value: The default value of the EMAC register in syscon This value is used for disabling properly EMAC and used as a good starting value in case of the boot process(uboot) leave some stuff.
Yeah, I never got the reason for this message. If Linux wants a certain value, it should program that. Whatever was left by someone else (be it U-Boot or some other software/OS) should not matter.
Cheers, Andre

Can't we let the change depend on priv->use_internal_phy?

I would assume the problem hits all H3 boards.
And that's the confusing part: it does not. I tested this on my OrangePi Zero (H2+ with internal PHY), both back then with the original MDIO frequency patch and also now after your report. It always worked reliably for me. Also: I am still puzzled how one influences the other: The error you get is from the *MAC* soft reset: I would think this is an independent operation from any communication attempts with the PHY.
There is this thread here about the same symptom on a V3s: https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-May/450315.html v2 of this original patch (in the same thread) proposes some other solution, which I am also not very happy with. But just to get some more data points: can you check whether skipping the soft reset fixes this for you? I will have a closer look tonight to check the order of soft reset and PHY communication. Maybe we should only do the soft reset *once* when the MAC probes, and not on every .start call?
Thanks, Andre
