[U-Boot] [PATCHv6 12/28] net: Add ability to set MAC address via EEPROM

Olliver Schinagl oliver at schinagl.nl
Mon May 15 08:02:28 UTC 2017


This patch allows Kconfig to enable and set parameters to make it
possible to read the MAC address from an EEPROM. The net core layer then
uses this information to read MAC addresses from this EEPROM.

Besides the various tuneables as to how to access the eeprom (bus,
address, addressing mode/length, 2 configurable that are EEPROM generic
(e.g. SPI or some other form of access) which are:

NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_OFFSET, indicating where in the EEPROM the start of
the MAC address is. The default is 8 allowing for 8 bytes before the MAC
for other purposes (header MAGIC for example).

NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_CRC8, indicating the MAC is appended with a CRC8-CCIT
checksum that should be verified.

Currently only I2C eeproms have been tested and thus only those options
are available, but shouldn't be a limit. NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_SPI can be
just as created and added.

The code currently first checks if there is a non-zero MAC address in
the eeprom. If that fails to be the case, the read_rom_hwaddr can be
used by a board to supply the MAC in other ways.

If both these fails, the other code is still in place to query the
environent, which then can be used to override the hardware supplied
data.

 Previous behavior had the MAC address always being programmed into hardware
 in the device's init() function.
 
+--------
+ EEPROM
+--------
+
+Boards may come with an EEPROM specifically to store configuration bits, such
+as a MAC address. Using CONFIG_NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM enables this feature.
+Depending on the board, the EEPROM may be connected on various methods, but
+currently, only the I2C bus can be used via CONFIG_NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_I2C.
+
+The following config options are available,
+CONFIG_NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_I2C_BUS is the I2C bus on which the eeprom is present.
+CONFIG_NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_I2C_ADDR sets the address of the EEPROM, which
+defaults to the very common 0x50. Small size EEPROM's generally use single byte
+addressing but larger EEPROM's may use double byte addressing, which can be
+configured using CONFIG_NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_ADDRLEN.
+
+Within the EEPROM, the MAC address can be stored on any arbitrary offset,
+CONFIG_NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_OFFSET sets this to 8 as a default however, allowing
+the first 8 bytes to be used for an optional data, for example a configuration
+struct where the mac address is part of.
+
+Appending the 6 (ARP_HLEN) bytes is a CRC8 byte over the previous ARP_HLEN
+bytes. Whether to check this CRC8 or not is dependent on
+CONFIG_NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_CRC8.
+
+To keep things nicely aligned, a final 'reserved' byte is added to the mac
+address + crc8 combo.
+
+A board may want to store more information in its eeprom, using the following
+example layout, this can be achieved.
+
+struct mac_addr {
+	uint8_t mac[ARP_HLEN];
+	uint8_t crc8;
+	uint8_t reserved;
+};
+
+struct config_eeprom {
+	uint32_t magic;
+	uint8_t version;
+	uint8_t reserved[2];
+	uint8_t mac_cnt;
+	struct mac_addr[mac_cnt];
+};
+
+Filling this in:
+struct config_eeprom eeprom = {
+	.magic = { 'M', 'g', 'i', 'c' },
+	.reserved = { 0x00, 0x00 },
+	.mac_cnt = 2,
+	.mac_addr = {
+		{
+			.mac = {
+				0x01, 0x23, 0x45,
+				0x67, 0x89, 0xab,
+			},
+			.crc8 = 0xbe,
+			.reserved = 0x00,
+		}, {
+			.mac = {
+				0xba, 0x98, 0x76,
+				0x54, 0x32, 0x10,
+			},
+			.crc8 = 0x82,
+			.reserved = 0x00,
+		},
+	},
+};
+
+The eeprom content would look like this.
+
+00000000  4d 67 69 63 01 00 00 02  01 23 45 67 89 ab be 00 |Mgic.....#Eg....|

+
+This can be done from linux using the i2c-tools:
+
+i2cset I2CBUS 0x50 0x08 0x01
+i2cset I2CBUS 0x50 0x09 0x23
+i2cset I2CBUS 0x50 0x0a 0x45
+i2cset I2CBUS 0x50 0x0b 0x67
+i2cset I2CBUS 0x50 0x0c 0x89
+i2cset I2CBUS 0x50 0x0d 0xab
+i2cset I2CBUS 0x50 0x0e 0xbe
+
+Alternativly this can be done from the u-boot console as:
+
+u-boot> i2c dev 1
+u-boot> i2c md 0x50 0x08 0x01
+u-boot> i2c md 0x50 0x09 0x23
+u-boot> i2c md 0x50 0x0a 0x45
+u-boot> i2c md 0x50 0x0b 0x67
+u-boot> i2c md 0x50 0x0c 0x89
+u-boot> i2c md 0x50 0x0d 0xab
+u-boot> i2c md 0x50 0x0e 0xbe
