2.11.3 Software and Driver Debug on Linux

The two essential components required for the PHY to function on a Linux system are the device tree and driver file, for which the DP83822 drivers can be found here. Below is a sample format of what a device tree looks like.

mdio0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
ethphy0: ethernet-phy@0 {
reg = <0>;
rx-internal-delay-ps = <1>;
tx-internal-delay-ps = <1>;
};
};
Note: The example bindings file can be found in this path: root/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/ti,dp83822.yaml.
