Hi!

I had exactly the same problem. I guess your MCB2300 board uses a rev. '-' LPC2300, and your board uses a rev. 'B'. I solved this problem with the errata sheet : the PINSEL value is different for the different revisions.
But then, I still have the problem that it does not work at 100Mbits, but works fine at 10Mbits...
Tell me how is your work going.

Bye.

Hi!

Now I have new hardware and I had a problem, like at old, that

sometimes DHC work, sametimes don't and ping sometimes is 100%,

sometimes 50% sucessfull.

I notice, that after HW reset (power off) of DP83848 works better.

Than I looked documentation (DP83848) and notice that you can make SW

reset (equivalent to HW). After SW reset it need to be 1us time delay

and another 3us befour is made "contact" with DP83848. There is not

delay but just looking if you get right register data from DP83848.

I made 10us time delay with TIMER2 between reset in looking register

and then again 10us.

Now its works fine.

file: LPC23_EMAC.C

function: void init_ethernet (void)

...

//wait at least 1ms

T2TC = 0;

while(T2TC<10) ; //10ms

/* Wait for hardware reset to end. */

for (tout = 0; tout < 0x100000; tout++) {

regv = read_PHY (PHY_REG_BMCR) ;

if (!(regv & 0x8800)) {

/* Reset complete, device not Power Down. */

break;

}

}

//wait at least 3ms

T2TC = 0;

while(T2TC<10) ; //10ms

...

I hope this will help to someone.

Bye

Peter,

The RD- and RD+ as well as their TX counterparts are to be routed in
pairs where the impedance is also important. That's probably the reason.
If you have to place the jack away from the MAC, move the PHY closer to
the jack next time cause the MII interface is less critical.

Thank you for information.

What means relative short? My Nets (RD-, RD+, TD-, TD+) are long from
2300mil to 3000mil.

My board is runing on 12MHz clock.
Now I notice, that sometimes after reset works OK, no lose at ping
test, but sometimes not, so I could be a problem at inicialization.

Peter,

At 100Mb it's not yet THAT important as long as you are using relative
short traces between the PHY and the JACK. At what clock frequency is
your board running? I had a similar problem with a design using 6Mhz
which for some reason turned out to be too slow for reliable ethernet
packet reception. Changeing the crystal to 12Mhz did the trick....

I did ping test and I had 42%loss.

I thinh a problem is in design. I look the documentation of DP83848,
but there is not mention lookout - max distance between DP83848 and
jack, line width, ...
I notice on this groop that is also important, that line length of
RD+- and TD+- must be the same, is that true?

This is my first project with high frequence.

Any advice for new design?

Best regards
Peter

Now I have another problem. I don't get link at the moment. After few
10s cames.

What cause that? Some time delay is to short? On MCB2300 work ok.

Thanke for yours advices. The problem is in PINSEL2, like you all are
mention. I change value in debug mode to 0x50150105, after was set to
0x55555555 and was ok.

Thanke you again.

I'm using RL-ARM (Realview Real-Time Library) and there is in
incialization PINSEL2 set to 0x55555555. I can't change it.

I trie turning off MAM, but still don't work.
