1. Article purpose[edit source]
This article explains how to configure the Ethernet switch when it is assigned to the Linux® OS. In this case, it is controlled by the Ethernet switch driver. The configuration is performed using the device tree mechanism. This provides a hardware description of the Ethernet switch peripheral used by the STM32/TTTech driver.
2. DT bindings documentation[edit source]
The Ethernet switch is a multifunction device.
Each function is represented by a separate binding document:
- "Generic" Ethernet device tree bindings [1]
- "Generic" Ethernet switch device tree bindings [2]
- Specific STM32 DEIP device tree bindings[3]
- Specific TTTech device tree bindings[4]
- including DEIP Core Edge block
- including ACM block
3. DT configuration[edit source]
This hardware description is a combination of the STM32 microprocessor device tree files (.dtsi extension) and board device tree files (.dts extension). See the Device tree for an explanation of the device tree file split.
3.1. DT configuration (STM32 level)[edit source]
Ethernet peripheral nodes are located in
- for STM32MP257 in stm32mp257.dtsi [5] file,
This is a set of properties that may not vary for a given STM32MP device, such as: interrupts, clocks, ...
switch0: ttt-sw@4c000000 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;

};
3.2. Ethernet DT configuration (board level)[edit source]
The device tree board file (.dts) contains all hardware configurations related to board design. The DT node ("ethernet") must be updated to:
- Enable the Ethernet block by setting status = "okay".
- Configure the pins in use via pinctrl, through pinctrl-0 and pinctrl-names.
- Configure Ethernet interface used phy-mode = "rgmii"., correspond to internal port sw0p1, port between GMAC IP and Switch. (do not change it)
ð1 {
status = "okay"; /* enable eth1 */
pinctrl-0 = <ð1_mdio_pins_a>; /* configure pinctrl mdio/mdc for eth1 */
pinctrl-names = "default";

3.3. DT configuration example to transform ethernet switch to ethernet standalone at board level[edit source]
The example below shows how to update devicetree to have eth1 as Ethernet standalone
ð1 {
status = "okay"; /* enable eth1 */
pinctrl-0 = <ð1_mdio_pins_a>; /* configure pinctrl mdio/mdc for eth1 */
pinctrl-0 = <ð1_rgmii_pins_a ð1_mdio_pins_a>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
phy-mode = "rgmii"; /* configure ethernet phy mode for eth1 */
phy-mode = "rgmii-id"; /* configure ethernet phy mode for eth1 */
st,eth-clk-sel;
snps,ext-systime;
fixed_link: fixed-link { /* configure ethernet fixed-link for eth1 */
speed = <1000>;
full-duplex;
};
phy-handle = <&phy1_eth1>;
mdio1 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
phy1_eth1: ethernet-phy@4 {
compatible = "ethernet-phy-id001c.c916",
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
compatible = "ethernet-phy-id001c.c916";
reset-gpios = <&gpioj 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
reset-assert-us = <10000>;
reset-deassert-us = <80000>;
realtek,eee-disable;
reg = <4>; /* configure ethernet phy 1 @ for eth1 */
};
phy2_eth1: ethernet-phy@5 {
compatible = "ethernet-phy-id001c.c916",
"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22";
realtek,eee-disable;
reg = <5>; /* configure ethernet phy 2 @ for eth1 */
};
};
};
&switch0 {
status = "okay";
status = "disabled";
pinctrl-0 = <ð1_rgmii_pins_a>, <ð3_rgmii_pins_a>; /* configure pinctrl for switch */
pinctrl-names = "default";
phy-mode = "rgmii";
st,ethsw-internal-125;
};
4. How to configure Ethernet using CubeMX[edit source]
The STM32CubeMX tool can be used to configure the STM32MPU device and get the corresponding platform configuration device tree files.
The STM32CubeMX may not support all the properties described in the above DT bindings documentation paragraph. If so, the tool inserts user sections in the generated device tree. These sections can then be edited to add some properties and they are preserved from one generation to another. Refer to STM32CubeMX user manual for further information.
