Initialization time of low_level_init() why so slow?

[Joerg Wagner]

To setup Ethernet takes more than 4 seconds in low_level_init().

Is the LAN8742A so slow and is the DP83848 in MII mode faster?

Thank you.

I don't have your hardware, and neither use LL code extensively.

But Cube (and LL) often employ busy loops to wait for ready flags during initialization. I would use a debugger to check what takes so long.

Perhaps waiting for a cable connection until timeout.

No one knows how to speed up Ethernet initialization?
