Hi Jamie,

We are testing the DPAA driver on several DS and RDB platforms and it
is working properly. The issues you encounter with it on the X5000/20
are likely caused by some issues specific to that particular platform.
The device tree that you mention, cyrus_p5020.eth.dts is not found in
the Linux kernel sources. The cyrus_p5020.dts file from the fsl ppc
device tree folder does not include the PHY information for the DPAA
interfaces. The problems that you experience may be caused by some
issues with the PHY configuration (i.e. internal delay). I suggest
that you connect the DPAA interface to a traffic analyzer or directly
to another device on which you can capture the incoming traffic and
check that the received frames are correct.
