X557-AT No MDC/MDIO Signal

[MLIU4]

Hi,

Problem: No MDC/MDIO signal

10G BASE –T PHY: Intel, X557-AT

Flash Image:

1. BDXDE_KR_BACKPLANE_LED_LO_NO_MNG_1.13v02_800006D1.bin

2. BDXDE_10GBASET_NO_MNG_1.13v02_800006B7.bin

Description:

We try to do MDI single r/w through MSCA(0x0000425c) and MSRWD(0x00004260).

The rule and steps is shown below

04:00.0 [Base address] + [offset] [32 bits] [value]

devmem 0x383fff400000+0x0000425c 32 0x501dc501 //Address cycle PHYAD = 0x00

devmem 0x383fff400000+0x00004260 32 0x00002001 //Test Mode 1

devmem 0x383fff400000+0x0000425c 32 0x541dc501 //Write operation

Is it correct?

We also try to use the tool of "lanconf64e" doing IEEE Tests, but we still cannot got MDC/MDIO signal.

Then, we upgrade flash to BDXDE_10GBASET_NO_MNG_1.13v02_800006B7.bin.

However, the situation is the same.

Another question is when we use BDXDE_10GBASET_NO_MNG_1.13v02_800006B7.bin, the eth cannot link up.

If we change the image to XXX_BACKPLANE..., it can link up in 1G. But, 10G doesn't work...

Why we can't get MDC/MDIO signal?

In backplane mode, why X557 only link up in 1G?

Could you give us some suggestions?

Thanks
