EDK10.1 and emaclite

[Neeraj Garg]

I am using Emac but the configuration is more or less same for the two.

Look at the messages that I am getting at startup

[    3.225313] xilinx_emac xilinx_emac.0: MAC address is now  0:a0:22: 
1: 1:f2
[    3.264036] XEmac: using fifo mode.
[    3.288583] XEmac: *Detected PHY at address 0, ManufID 0x0040, Rev. 
0x61e4*.
[    3.328138] eth0: Dropping NETIF_F_SG since no checksum feature.
[    3.368685] eth0: Xilinx 10/100 EMAC at 0x11000000 mapped to 
0xC3020000, irq=5
[    3.404090] eth0: XEmac id 1.4a, block id 128, type 1

Points that you cant check

First look at ethernet interface RJ45 connector that power is coming, 
LED should blink.

1) check whether IRQ is right, its zero in your case. If it is right 
then issue ping and read interrupts arriving on your ethernet interface 
(cat /proc/interrupts), If number of interrupts are increasing then its 
sure that your PHY is ok , the problem is with mode selection (10 MBPS, 
or 100 MBPS) if that is the issue let me know , I'll tell you where to 
make changes in driver files.

2) If nothing of the above works then there is problem with PHY address 
detection. You have to look in hardware specification (your hardware 
board ) to find out PHY address.
