FS#340 - brcm63xx: faulty ethernet link detection
User who did this - Daniel González Cabanelas (danitool)

----------

  * As commented elsewhere the problem with //eth1// can be solved by patching the file bcm63xx_enet.c     memcpy(bcm_enet_shared_base, p, sizeof(bcm_enet_shared_base));
 
-   if (ephy_reset)
-       gpiod_direction_output(ephy_reset, 0);
-
+   if (ephy_reset){
+       gpiod_direction_output(ephy_reset, 1);
+       msleep(50);
+       gpiod_set_value(ephy_reset, 0);
+   }


  * With //eth0// (internal phy) if I boot with the ethernet cable disconnected, the link remains **down forever** even if plug the the ethernet cable. It seems that the link is only detected when the phy is initialized.
