Hi, I have a Devolo dLAN pro 500 Wireless+, which, has an "AR7400 PLC in PHY mode" according to the following commit: > 02984a6e09 ar71xx: add support for the devolo dLAN pro 500 Wireless+ If I understand well the code/platform-data below, it should appear on eth0: > /* GMAC0 is connected to a AR7400 PLC in PHY mode */ > ath79_init_mac(ath79_eth0_data.mac_addr, wifi_mac, 2); > ath79_eth0_data.phy_if_mode = PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII; > ath79_eth0_pll_data.pll_1000 = 0x0e000000; > ath79_eth0_data.speed = SPEED_1000; > ath79_eth0_data.duplex = DUPLEX_FULL; > ath79_register_eth(0);
How can I use the powerline functionality? - I've compiled an image with the plc-utils - I find now way to talk to the AR7400: - amptool finds nothing and exits: # amptool -i eth0 -Iar eth0 00:B0:52:00:00:01 Request Version Information eth0 00:B0:52:00:00:01 Fetch Device Attributes eth0 00:B0:52:00:00:01 Device Identity - Running plcID with the following command shows the same frame: # plcID -i eth0 -v - I also tried removing eth0 from the br-lan bridge but the command line PLC identification tools mentioned above didn't have more success. - According to blog posts like this one, the PLC should respond to PLC identification tools: http://www.fredericb.info/2016/02/powerline-plc-support-in-openwrt-for-d.html - Should I look for the chip datasheet in order to understand in what state/mode it is in from its wiring and from the PCB pictures[1]? References: ----------- [1] Due to safety reasons, I don't want to open the device often, to limit the probability of fatal accidents. I however took pictures of its internals and, there might be two flash chips and two different kind of RAM chips.
