I would like to share my experience bringing up various Automotive Ethernet Gigabit PHYs on an iMX8 platform. Agenda: - PHY configuration CheckList (= What I need to know about my PHY, my schematic before starting the bring-up) - SW implementation (= step-by-step SW integration + common pitfalls to avoid, mainly focused on Linux, but I talk also about U-Boot) - Debug tips (= SW and HW tips) This presentation is based on a training I already gave internally in the Valeo Group (with some extra additions). This experience led to some patches that I hope to push at U-boot and Linux level.
