Zynq-7020 PS Ethernet Interface Documentation and Configuration
For the Zynq-7020, configuring the Processing System (PS) Ethernet interface involves several critical steps to ensure proper operation within a PetaLinux environment. The hardware description files play an essential role in this process as they provide necessary information about the system's hardware components.
The tool analyzes these hardware description files to gather required details regarding the hardware setup which are then used to update device tree source (DTS), PetaLinux U-Boot configuration file, and kernel configuration file based on "Auto Config Settings" and "Subsystem AUTO Hardware Settings"[^1]. When ps7_ethernet_0 is selected as Primary Ethernet with automatic updates enabled for both kernel config and U-Boot config, the tool automatically enables its corresponding driver support in the Linux Kernel while updating U-Boot headers accordingly so that it can utilize the chosen Ethernet controller effectively during boot time operations.
To configure the Ethernet interface specifically:
Device Tree Source Modification
Device trees define how peripherals like Ethernet interfaces connect to processors at runtime without requiring changes directly inside kernels or bootloader sources themselves. For enabling Ethernet functionality via DTS modifications might look something similar below depending upon actual design requirements but generally includes specifying node properties such as MAC address assignment method (mac-address) among others relevant attributes under /ethernet@....
/ {
...
aliases {
ethernet0 = &gem0;
};

gem0: ethernet@e000b000 { /* Example path */
compatible = "cdns,gem";
reg = <0xe000b000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <0 89 4>; // Interrupt line number may vary per platform.

status = "okay"; // Enable GEM block

phy-mode = "rgmii-id"; // Physical layer mode setting; adjust according to your board layout.

mac-address = [XX XX XX XX XX XX]; // Replace Xs with desired static MAC bytes OR leave out if dynamic allocation preferred.
};

This snippet demonstrates typical entries one would expect when defining an Ethernet peripheral through DTS customization tailored towards ARM-based SoCs including those found within Zynq devices.
Kernel Driver Support
Enabling specific drivers within the kernel ensures appropriate handling of network traffic once booted into user space applications. This typically requires ensuring options related to built-in modules supporting Gigabit Ethernet controllers provided by Cadence Design Systems Inc., known internally within many embedded systems designs utilizing Cortex-A series cores from ARM Holdings plc.
In terms of menuconfig selections available during cross-compilation phases targeting Zynq platforms running Petalinux distributions, users should verify settings associated particularly around sections labeled 'Network device support' -> '<*> Ethernet driver support' followed closely thereafter by checking off items pertaining explicitly either generic PHY management routines alongside any applicable vendor-specific extensions offered therein.
Additionally, confirming presence/enabled state concerning CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_CADENCE symbol along other dependent features listed underneath will help guarantee successful compilation results leading up until deployment stages whereupon final images get flashed onto target boards readying them post-production testing cycles prior release candidacy considerations.
