STM32MP157C with MII PHY not working, attempt 2

Same situation as before - using a STM32MP157C based design + KSZ9021GN PHY but now actually wired for MII mode.

Previous board was wired for GMII mode, even verified by Microchip/Micrel, not realizing the MPU did not support that mode (should have checked with CubeMX!) .

So, we made the change to actually MII wiring into a different but similar board being designed at the time. That board is now being brought up.

Again, PHY issue, but different this time and I hope its not another design error. I suppose there could be an assembly problem of course. I only have one board currently to test.

Here is the TL;DR of the bootup relating to ethernet. Note "device missing", and we are at address 3.

I've gone over the device tree and I believe the pin mapping is correct, and here's this:

 
&ethernet0{
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	pinctrl-0 = <&eth1_pins_mx>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&eth1_sleep_pins_mx>;
	status = "okay";
 
	/* USER CODE BEGIN ethernet0 */
        st,eth_clk_sel = <1>;
        phy-mode = "mii"; 
	max-speed = <100>; 
	phy-handle = <&phy0>;
 
	mdio0 { 
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;
		compatible = "snps,dwmac-mdio";
		phy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
			reg = <3>; 
		};
	};
	/* USER CODE END ethernet0 */
};
 
 

Thanks again for any ideas, BillR

All set now, it works. :)

C8 was supposed to be 10uF, rather than 0.1uF for the proper reset timing.

Initially I thought the boot log indicated that it was at least talking to the PHY over MDIO, but then realized its just not seeing the PHY at all. Will be probing some hardware next week and try another board when they come in.
