Do not get IP address with stm32mp157c and RMII

Hello,

we want to bring up our own board with stm32mp157c. Processor is connected to a Microchip LAN8720 through RMII.

I configured device tree as described here:

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/Ethernet_device_tree_configuration#RMII_with_Crystal_on_PHY_-28Reference_clock_-28standard_RMII_clock_name-29_is_provided_by_a_Phy_Crystal-29

Actual device tree configuration:

&ethernet0{
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	pinctrl-0 = <&eth1_pins_mx>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&eth1_sleep_pins_mx>;
	status = "okay";
 
	phy-mode = "rmii";
	max-speed = <100>;
	phy-handle = <&phy0>;
 
	mdio0 {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;
		compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
		phy0: ethernet-phy@1 {
			reg = <1>;
		};
	};

So far so good. Controller is booting and during boot up it seems that PHY driver is loaded (Output is very equal to eval board we have). So I think it's ok.

Now problem is that controller do not get a IP address.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr BA:C6:C4:06:6B:E4
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX bytes:17388 (16.9 KiB)  TX bytes:72326 (70.6 KiB)
          Interrupt:50 Base address:0x4000

Also tried with static IP. But I cannot ping my router.

Hardware is ok. I can measure data on RXD0 and RXD1 on PHY chip. I can also measure signals on TX_EN, TXD0 or TXD1 of PHY.

But seems that PHY is not sending on TX_P and TX_N pins.

Do I have to configure something else in mdio node of device tree to be able to sent via LAN8720?

Or something wrong with my device tree config?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Kind regards

Do you have a DHCP sever in your network running? Does it give out IP number to unknown hardware, otherwise make the MAC known.

Dear @Uwe Bonnes​ 

yes, dhcp server is active. I have also eval board which gets an ip address.

How do I make MAC known?

Never heard about that.

Thought that the processor used its own MAC as soon as it recognized the driver?!
