Ethernet basic example - Error: lan8720_pwrctl: power up failed

[francisconavy]

Hello, I'm trying to use ethernet basic example of esp-idf on esp32 and LAN8720.
The errors are these:

Code: Select all

E (514) lan8720: lan8720_pwrctl(359): power up failed
E (514) lan8720: lan8720_init(421): power control failed
E (514) esp_eth: esp_eth_driver_install(205): init phy failed

I already saw Frank Sautter tutorial https://sautter.com/blog/ethernet-on-es ... g-lan8720/, tried to increase sw reset timeout to 500ms and my local esp-idf repository is up to date.

My conections are exactly like this:
(the only difference is that I'm using two parallel 10k resistors as pullup and pulldown)


The oscilator enable is connected to NC:


And my configs are these in the moment:



I think did everything I could find on internet to solve this, but I must be missing out some point. Does anyone have a sugestion? I really want to make this work.

Hi,

which esp-idf version are you using? I had the same issue: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/5425
As far, as I know, the fix is yet not released in all available versions.

Thanks for answering

My current lan8720_pwrctl function is this:

Code: Select all

static esp_err_t lan8720_pwrctl(esp_eth_phy_t *phy, bool enable)
{
    phy_lan8720_t *lan8720 = __containerof(phy, phy_lan8720_t, parent);
    esp_eth_mediator_t *eth = lan8720->eth;
    bmcr_reg_t bmcr;
    PHY_CHECK(eth->phy_reg_read(eth, lan8720->addr, ETH_PHY_BMCR_REG_ADDR, &(bmcr.val)) == ESP_OK,
              "read BMCR failed", err);
    if (!enable) {
        /* General Power Down Mode */
        bmcr.power_down = 1;
    } else {
        /* Normal operation Mode */
        bmcr.power_down = 0;
    }
    PHY_CHECK(eth->phy_reg_write(eth, lan8720->addr, ETH_PHY_BMCR_REG_ADDR, bmcr.val) == ESP_OK,
              "write BMCR failed", err);
    if (!enable) {
        PHY_CHECK(eth->phy_reg_read(eth, lan8720->addr, ETH_PHY_BMCR_REG_ADDR, &(bmcr.val)) == ESP_OK,
                  "read BMCR failed", err);
        PHY_CHECK(bmcr.power_down == 1, "power down failed", err);
    } else {
        /* wait for power up complete */
        uint32_t to = 0;
        for (to = 0; to < lan8720->reset_timeout_ms / 10; to++) {
            vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(10));
            PHY_CHECK(eth->phy_reg_read(eth, lan8720->addr, ETH_PHY_BMCR_REG_ADDR, &(bmcr.val)) == ESP_OK,
                      "read BMCR failed", err);
            if (bmcr.power_down == 0) {
                break;
            }
        }
        PHY_CHECK(to < lan8720->reset_timeout_ms / 10, "power up timeout", err);
    }
    return ESP_OK;
err:
    return ESP_FAIL;
}

I think it already has the timeout you were talking about in the issue. I also tried to increase the timeout a little bit with some hope but it didn't work.

phy_address = 0

The same problem occurred to me, but I solved the problem by setting Phy address 1 to 0.

The same problem occurred to me, but I solved the problem by setting Phy address 1 to 0.

I already tried it, but it doesn't work :(
I added some prints to understand what's going on, but apparently phy_reg_write isn't doing anything.

Can you send your sdkconfig file so I can take a look in your configs?

楼主您好，我也遇到了相同的问题，请问您解决了吗？
我尝试单独使用电源给LAN8720供电，然后再使用USB口给esp32上电，可以解决这个问题。
我猜测可能与phy的供电顺序有关，期待有人能给出解决方案。


Hello, I also encountered the same problem. Have you solved it?
I tried to use the power supply alone to power the LAN8720, and then use the USB port to power on the esp32, which can solve this problem.
I guess it may be related to the power supply sequence of the phy, and I hope someone can give a solution.

@francisconavy, I am facing exactly the same issue.

Were able to resolve this issue yet?
If so, please share your debug analysis or solution. Are you using the waveshare LAN8720 breakout board?

I am using a custom PCB (5 no.s) and flashed the basic ethernet example on all 5 boards.
1. I see that on 3 of my boards it works fine.
2. However on the other 2 boards, I see the "power up timeout" error.

For analysis, I print the "bmcr.power_down" value after write, as you have done, it's always 1 the write doesn't do anything.

Hello!

did you manage to solve this problem? currently I'm stuck at the same point. Tried all of your stuff mentioned too, without success.

thanks in advance!

In my case I was using the WT32-ETH01 and the pin used for clock (GPIO_0) was pulled up, but it should be 'not connected', simple opening that connection fixed the issue.
