DRV_ETHPHY_VENDOR_MDIX_CONFIGURE Type

C

typedef DRV_ETHPHY_RESULT (* DRV_ETHPHY_VENDOR_MDIX_CONFIGURE)(const struct DRV_ETHPHY_OBJECT_BASE_TYPE* pBaseObj, DRV_HANDLE handle, TCPIP_ETH_OPEN_FLAGS oFlags); 

Returns

  • DRV_ETHPHY_RES_OK - if success, operation complete

  • DRV_ETHPHY_RES_PENDING - if function needs to be called again < 0 - on failure: configuration not supported or some other error

Description

Pointer To Function: typedef DRV_ETHPHY_RESULT (* DRV_ETHPHY_VENDOR_MDIX_CONFIGURE) ( const struct DRV_ETHPHY_OBJECT_BASE_TYPE* pBaseObj, DRV_HANDLE handle, TCPIP_ETH_OPEN_FLAGS oFlags ); This type describes a pointer to a function that configures the MDIX mode for the Ethernet PHY. This configuration function is PHY specific and every PHY driver has to provide their own implementation.

Remarks

The PHY driver consists of 2 modules:

  • the main/base PHY driver which uses standard IEEE PHY registers

  • the vendor specific functionality This function provides vendor specific functionality. Every PHY driver has to expose this vendor specific function as part of its interface. Traditionally the name used for this function is DRV_EXTPHY_MDIXConfigure but any name can be used. The function can use all the vendor specific functions to store/retrieve specific data or start SMI transactions (see Vendor Interface Routines). The function should not block but return DRV_ETHPHY_RES_PENDING if waiting for SMI transactions.

Preconditions

Communication to the PHY should have been established.
