Embedded Linux BSP Q3 2023 Quarterly Release |
ELB-5375 | Fixed | Ethernet (ETH_1) Bridge Mode Not Working | Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | Low | No |
Description: Ethernet bridge mode on ETH_1 is not working. See also https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a7602e7332b97cfbec7bacb0f1ade99a575fe104 and https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/Workaround-for-issue-Bridge-mode-on-EQoS-module-will-not-work/ta-p/1559302 |

ELB-3988 | New Feature | Make LEDs of KSZ9131 PHY Behave the Same As KSZ9031 | Apalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | | No |
Description: Due to an Errata of the KSZ9131 PHY, one of the LEDs on the Ethernet connector is falsely lit up, even if the PHY is not connected. Workaround: Set bit9 to 1 in register 30 (decimal) of the KSZ9131 PHY. |

ELB-4538 | New Feature | Use Random Private MAC Addresses for USB RNDIS Interface | Apalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet, USB | | | No |
Description: Use random MAC addresses from the private IEEE range instead of `00:14:2d:ff:ff:ff` and `00:14:2d:ff:ff:fe` for the USB RNDIS ethernet interface |

ELB-4429 | Fixed | MDIO read timeout | Apalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Colibri iMX6, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | Low | No |
Description: MDIO read timeout is randomly popping up during link-up and causing ethernet to stop working Workaround: Setting the interface down and up again fixes the problem |

ELB-3988 | New Feature | Make LEDs of KSZ9131 PHY Behave the Same As KSZ9031 | Apalis iMX6, Apalis iMX8, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | | No |
Description: Due to an Errata of the KSZ9131 PHY, one of the LEDs on the Ethernet connector is falsely lit up, even if the PHY is not connected. Workaround: Set bit9 to 1 in register 30 (decimal) of the KSZ9131 PHY. |

ELB-3757 | New Feature | Disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) aka IEEE 802.3az | Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | | No |
Description: Real Energy Efficient Ethernet with Tx LPI (only supported on the on-module EQOS based MAC) may cause issues with EEE enabled peers/switches and is therefore disabled in NXP's BSPs. While NXP may have patches to fix this we also just disable it for now. Workaround: Disable EEE either on the peer/switch side or on the module as follows:
ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee off |
ELB-3355 | New Feature | Feature Set: Linux: Ethernet | Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | | No |
Description: Add support for Ethernet on Verdin iMX8M Plus V1.0B. |
ELB-3989 | Feature Request | Switch Ethernet Connector LINK/ACT LEDs in Software | Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | | No |
Description: The LEDs of the on-module PHYs are swapped in hardware. We will resolve this issue by swapping the LEDs on the affected Verdin Carrier-Boards. Workaround: You can swap the LED behaviour using the Enhanced LED mode of the PHY. Make sure you also set bit15 in register 23 (0x17) to '1' on the PHY. Please refer to the KSZ9131 datasheet for more information on how to set the LEDs. |
ELB-3977 | Known Issue | Issues with RGMII and/or PHY on Verdin Development Board | Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | Low | No |
Description: We see some retries when transferring 1GiB in our lab environment. |
ELB-4694 | Known Issue | Verdin Ethernet Spurious Link Up/Down Events | Verdin AM62, Verdin iMX8M Mini, Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | Low | No |
Description: Second ethernet interface (FEC) can have some spurious link up/down events |
ELB-3214 | Feature Request | Best Effort: Linux: Ethernet | Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | | No |
Description: Add support for Ethernet on Verdin iMX8M Plus V1.0B. |
ELB-3158 | Feature Request | Properly Pass MAC Address From U-Boot to Linux Kernel | Apalis iMX8, Apalis iMX8X, Colibri iMX6ULL, Colibri iMX7, Colibri iMX8X, Verdin iMX8M Plus | Ethernet | | | No |
Description: Passing Mac address from U-Boot to Linux kernel not working Properly for second PHY Workaround: Add the aliases of both Ethernet Interfaces to the devicetree files as "ethernet0 = &fec1; ethernet1 = &fec2;" |
