1The following properties are common to the Ethernet controllers: 2 3- local-mac-address: array of 6 bytes, specifies the MAC address that was 4 assigned to the network device; 5- mac-address: array of 6 bytes, specifies the MAC address that was last used by 6 the boot program; should be used in cases where the MAC address assigned to 7 the device by the boot program is different from the "local-mac-address" 8 property; 9- max-speed: number, specifies maximum speed in Mbit/s supported by the device; 10- max-frame-size: number, maximum transfer unit (IEEE defined MTU), rather than 11 the maximum frame size (there's contradiction in the Devicetree 12 Specification). 13- phy-mode: string, operation mode of the PHY interface. This is now a de-facto 14 standard property; supported values are: 15 * "internal" 16 * "mii" 17 * "gmii" 18 * "sgmii" 19 * "qsgmii" 20 * "tbi" 21 * "rev-mii" 22 * "rmii" 23 * "rgmii" (RX and TX delays are added by the MAC when required) 24 * "rgmii-id" (RGMII with internal RX and TX delays provided by the PHY, the 25 MAC should not add the RX or TX delays in this case) 26 * "rgmii-rxid" (RGMII with internal RX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC 27 should not add an RX delay in this case) 28 * "rgmii-txid" (RGMII with internal TX delay provided by the PHY, the MAC 29 should not add an TX delay in this case) 30 * "rtbi" 31 * "smii" 32 * "xgmii" 33 * "trgmii" 34 * "2000base-x", 35 * "2500base-x", 36 * "rxaui" 37 * "xaui" 38 * "10gbase-kr" (10GBASE-KR, XFI, SFI) 39- phy-connection-type: the same as "phy-mode" property but described in the 40 Devicetree Specification; 41- phy-handle: phandle, specifies a reference to a node representing a PHY 42 device; this property is described in the Devicetree Specification and so 43 preferred; 44- phy: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new bindings. 45- phy-device: the same as "phy-handle" property, not recommended for new 46 bindings. 47- rx-fifo-depth: the size of the controller's receive fifo in bytes. This 48 is used for components that can have configurable receive fifo sizes, 49 and is useful for determining certain configuration settings such as 50 flow control thresholds. 51- tx-fifo-depth: the size of the controller's transmit fifo in bytes. This 52 is used for components that can have configurable fifo sizes. 53- managed: string, specifies the PHY management type. Supported values are: 54 "auto", "in-band-status". "auto" is the default, it usess MDIO for 55 management if fixed-link is not specified. 56 57Child nodes of the Ethernet controller are typically the individual PHY devices 58connected via the MDIO bus (sometimes the MDIO bus controller is separate). 59They are described in the phy.txt file in this same directory. 60For non-MDIO PHY management see fixed-link.txt. 61
