Changing ethernet port speed

Changing ethernet port speed

[Hamid Amirrad]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 776 bytes --]

Hi,

I am trying to change the Ethernet port speed from 10Mbps to 1Gbps, but I
can't find a way to do that. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Hamid

Normally, those parms should be modified with ipmitool

Hi Bruce;

Where are you want to set the duplex and speed?

For linux, I use ethtool. See:
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ethtool-command-change-speed-duplex-ethernet-card-linux
For u-boot, I think you need use `mdio` to change the register of
`phy`.(I'm not sure if any better way.).

Given what's pasted here, it looks like it's u-boot where you're seeing
the problem -- does Linux successfully autonegotiate a higher speed?

Also, is this a Broadcom phy by any chance?  I've got a platform with a
Broadcom BMC54616S phy on which Linux autonegotiates a 1Gbps link just
fine, but u-boot would only negotiate slower speeds (I don't remember
offhand if it was 10Mbps or 100Mbps).  I've got a hackish patch I'm
running internally that gets 1Gbps aneg working in u-boot, but at the
cost of breaking 10/100Mbps aneg (and I haven't gotten around to digging
in and fixing that and sending it upstream).

Hi,

I see that the u-boot has been recently upgraded to 2019.04.
I created the image as follows:
1. Checked out the code
2. . setup evb-ast2500
3. time bitbake obmc-phosphor-image

Then I copied the created image (bmc-image)
from /trunk/build/evb-ast2500/tmp/deploy/images/evb-ast2500/obmc-phosphor-image-evb-ast2500-20221122160306.static.mtd.all.tar
to my LC having BMC module. I used ./socflash.sh to upgrade the BMC image
to one just created. After upgrade is done, I still see the old u-boot
version (below). Is this something else I need to do for the u-boot to be
at revision 2019?

ast# version

U-Boot 2016.07 (Jun 10 2020 - 10:12:49 +0000)
arm-openbmc-linux-gnueabi-gcc (GCC) 11.2.0
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.37.20210721

I am using BMC simulator on another server and on that the u-boot revision
is fine (below). Not sure why u-boot is not at 2019 when I compile the code
directly.
ast# version
U-Boot 2019.04 (Nov 10 2022 - 00:12:58 +0000)

arm-openbmc-linux-gnueabi-gcc (GCC) 12.2.0
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.39.0.20220819

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hamid

What OpenBMC commit are you building from?  It looks like evb-ast2500
got updated to the newer u-boot branch in February:
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/commit/7d75b9b68370374db00e9c99b5406ebb6b18512f

If the same image is showing the expected u-boot version in a simulator
(qemu?), then it sounds like maybe your installation procedure isn't
doing what you intended it to.  I don't know what the 'socflash.sh' you
referred to above is; if you can boot into a reasonably healthy OpenBMC
environment, I'd suggest using the normal firmware-update mechanism.  If
the existing firmware is something else or isn't working enough to boot
normally you might need to resort to a hardware flash programmer or
something (or if you can get your u-boot networking working at all, even
at a slow speed, you could TFTP in an OpenBMC kernel/initrd, boot into
that, and use flashcp to write the full OpenBMC image).

Hi Zev,

I might have installed it correctly this time (still have to confirm).
However, I get the following, cant find any details about username
password. where can I find it?
evb-ast2500 login:

Hi Zeb,

I found a default username/password (root:0penBmc). I can log in to my
newly installed image. The only thing that confuses me is that on the qemu
simulator, I have the following interface
ast#

When I type (?), it shows me all the available commands such as (version,
setenv, printenv, etc). Also no password is required to login.

With the new image that I compiled from the github and installed on my BMC
Module, I have the following interface:
root@evb-ast2500:~#

When I type (?), it doesn't work and I have a whole different available
commands (mostly from linux). Also need password to login.

Is this expected?

Thanks alot,
Hamid

That looks like a u-boot prompt, which would imply that it didn't boot
properly.  Do you see any messages in the output before that prompt,
perhaps something about failing to find or load an image to boot?

And that looks like a more fully booted bmc.

For a normally-running system, yes.  I'm not sure offhand what might be
causing your apparent boot failure in qemu though.

Thanks Zev. I think I have it running now.

One last question I have. Is there a way for me to include utilities in the
image (such as ethtool, dpkg, etc) without having to connect the module to
the internet and installing them that way?
Does OpenBMC image come with those utilities?

below is my image details:

root@evb-ast2500:~# cat /etc/os-release
ID=openbmc-phosphor
NAME="Phosphor OpenBMC (Phosphor OpenBMC Project Reference Distro)"
VERSION="None"
VERSION_ID=none
VERSION_CODENAME="${DISTRO_CODENAME}"
PRETTY_NAME="Phosphor OpenBMC (Phosphor OpenBMC Project Reference Distro)
None"
BUILD_ID="20221206174257"
OPENBMC_TARGET_MACHINE="evb-ast2500"
EXTENDED_VERSION="None"
