STM32H735G-DK: RGMII Ethernet interface with RX_ERR?

[HMüll.4]

Hi,

when looking into the schematics of the STM32H735G-DK board (MB1520B), the Ethernet-PHY is connected via RMII.

Now when I configure RMII for an STM32H7 in CubeMX, the interface pins do fit properly to what is used in the MB1520B schematics - except the RX_ERR-line. According to the schematics it is connected to PB10, but when I enable PB10 in CubeMX for use as RX_ERR, it is marked in yellow with the remark "no mode".

So...how do fit both things together? How can I enable RX_ERR being used in Cube MX for RMII-mode?

Thanks!

Check the datasheet for the alternate functions, I faintly remember that RX_ERR is simply not supported by the H7 hardware. But I might be wrong.

And it's definitely RMII, without the "G". ;)

So this would be an error in the evaluation board from ST then!?

Not an error! You could still set the GPIO to interrupt mode, or poll it.

Anyway, Cube is not perfect...

Edit: found it in the datasheet!

But the H7 ETH-peripheral's RMII doesn't do anything with that pin, except that it sets a bit in an RX descriptor.

Still not sure if that's the case for MII or RMII, in the datasheet it's called only " MII_RX_ER ", all RMII signals are usually called " RMII_* ".

Is the signal connected to the PHY ?
