changing SMI and PHY addresses: need sources of ethernet

21 Feb 2012

Hello.

i need to make it clear and short: i need help about sources of ethernet class of the mbed platform or at least some help from the core team.

long story: I am implementing my own board. (this is a true adventure, i wish it to anyone that has strong mental and superpowers.) Board is using a marvell ethernet switch as the way to ethernet. That is, i removed the phy and use an internal phy of the switch. We've been through various steps and now face something we cannot solve without help. the phy has an address of 6 but mbed still wants to address the original phy, whose address is 1 (theoratically, if it is left by default and not reprogrammed through mdio at later stage) I cannot change the switch phy address, it is static. Neither can i use the port 1 of the switch to use its phy as the phy is not accessible on this port.

In fact, Solution is "quite simple" , i don't really want sources, just one way to change the phy address. If you were to add a #define in a header file, that would save my day. Any way to make this happen? Someone to contact?

Thank you.
