Ethernet

[中文]

Overview

ESP-IDF provides a set of consistent and flexible APIs to support both internal Ethernet MAC (EMAC) controller and external SPI-Ethernet modules.

This programming guide is split into the following sections:

Basic Ethernet Concepts

Ethernet is an asynchronous Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) protocol/interface. It is generally not well suited for low power applications. However, with ubiquitous deployment, internet connectivity, high data rates and limitless rage expandability, Ethernet can accommodate nearly all wired communications.

Normal IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet frames are between 64 and 1518 bytes in length. They are made up of five or six different fields: a destination MAC address (DA), a source MAC address (SA), a type/length field, data payload, an optional padding field and a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). Additionally, when transmitted on the Ethernet medium, a 7-byte preamble field and Start-of-Frame (SOF) delimiter byte are appended to the beginning of the Ethernet packet.

Thus the traffic on the twist-pair cabling will appear as shown blow:

Ethernet Data Frame Format

Preamble and Start-of-Frame Delimiter

The preamble contains seven bytes of 55H, it allows the receiver to lock onto the stream of data before the actual frame arrives. The Start-of-Frame Delimiter (SFD) is a binary sequence 10101011 (as seen on the physical medium). It is sometimes considered to be part of the preamble.

When transmitting and receiving data, the preamble and SFD bytes will automatically be generated or stripped from the packets.

Destination Address

The destination address field contains a 6-byte length MAC address of the device that the packet is directed to. If the Least Significant bit in the first byte of the MAC address is set, the address is a multi-cast destination. For example, 01-00-00-00-F0-00 and 33-45-67-89-AB-CD are multi-cast addresses, while 00-00-00-00-F0-00 and 32-45-67-89-AB-CD are not. Packets with multi-cast destination addresses are designed to arrive and be important to a selected group of Ethernet nodes. If the destination address field is the reserved multi-cast address, i.e. FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF, the packet is a broadcast packet and it will be directed to everyone sharing the network. If the Least Significant bit in the first byte of the MAC address is clear, the address is a uni-cast address and will be designed for usage by only the addressed node.

Normally the EMAC controller incorporates receive filters which can be used to discard or accept packets with multi-cast, broadcast and/or uni-cast destination addresses. When transmitting packets, the host controller is responsible for writing the desired destination address into the transmit buffer.

Source Address

The source address field contains a 6-byte length MAC address of the node which created the Ethernet packet. Users of Ethernet must generate a unique MAC address for each controller used. MAC addresses consist of two portions. The first three bytes are known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). OUIs are distributed by the IEEE. The last three bytes are address bytes at the discretion of the company that purchased the OUI. More information about MAC Address used in ESP-IDF, please see MAC Address Allocation.

When transmitting packets, the assigned source MAC address must be written into the transmit buffer by the host controller.

Type / Length

The type/length field is a 2-byte field, if the value in this field is <= 1500 (decimal), it is considered a length field and it specifies the amount of non-padding data which follows in the data field. If the value is >= 1536, it represents the protocol the following packet data belongs to. The following are the most common type values:

  • IPv4 = 0800H

  • IPv6 = 86DDH

  • ARP = 0806H

Users implementing proprietary networks may choose to treat this field as a length field, while applications implementing protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP) or Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), should program this field with the appropriate type defined by the protocol’s specification when transmitting packets.

Payload

The payload field is a variable length field, anywhere from 0 to 1500 bytes. Larger data packets will violate Ethernet standards and will be dropped by most Ethernet nodes. This field contains the client data, such as an IP datagram.

Padding and FCS

The padding field is a variable length field added to meet IEEE 802.3 specification requirements when small data payloads are used. The DA, SA, type, payload and padding of an Ethernet packet must be no smaller than 60 bytes. Adding the required 4-byte FCS field, packets must be no smaller than 64 bytes. If the data field is less than 46 bytes long, a padding field is required.

The FCS field is a 4-byte field which contains an industry standard 32-bit CRC calculated with the data from the DA, SA, type, payload and padding fields. Given the complexity of calculating a CRC, the hardware normally will automatically generate a valid CRC and transmit it. Otherwise, the host controller must generate the CRC and place it in the transmit buffer.

Normally, the host controller does not need to concern itself with padding and the CRC which the hardware EMAC will also be able to automatically generate when transmitting and verify when receiving. However, the padding and CRC fields will be written into the receive buffer when packets arrive, so they may be evaluated by the host controller if needed.

Note

Besides the basic data frame described above, there’re two other common frame types in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet: control frames and VLAN tagged frames. They’re not supported in ESP-IDF.

Configure MAC and PHY

Ethernet driver is composed of two parts: MAC and PHY.

The communication between MAC and PHY can have diverse choices: MII (Media Independent Interface), RMII (Reduced Media Independent Interface) and etc.

Ethernet RMII Interface

Ethernet RMII Interface

One of the obvious difference between MII and RMII is the signal consumption. For MII, it usually costs up to 18 signals. Instead, RMII interface can reduce the consumption to 9.

In RMII mode, both the receiver and transmitter signals are referenced to the REF_CLK. REF_CLK must be stable during any access to PHY and MAC. Generally there’re three ways to generate the REF_CLK depending on the PHY device in your design:

  • Some PHY chip can derive the REF_CLK from its external connected 25MHz crystal oscillator (as seen the option a in the picture). In this case, you should select CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_INPUT in CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_MODE.

  • Some PHY chip uses an external connected 50MHz crystal oscillator or other clock source, which can also be used as the REF_CLK for MAC side (as seen the option b in the picture). In this case, you still need to select CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_INPUT in CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_MODE.

  • Some EMAC controller can generate the REF_CLK using its internal high precision PLL (as seen the option c in the picture). In this case, you should select CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_OUTPUT in CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_MODE.

Note

REF_CLK is configured via Project Configuration as described above by default. However, it can be overwritten from user application code by appropriately setting eth_esp32_emac_config_t::interface and eth_esp32_emac_config_t::clock_config members. See emac_rmii_clock_mode_t and emac_rmii_clock_gpio_t for more details.

Warning

If the RMII clock mode is selected to CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_OUTPUT, then GPIO0 can be used to output the REF_CLK signal. See CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_OUTPUT_GPIO0 for more information. What’s more, if you’re not using PSRAM in your design, GPIO16 and GPIO17 are also available to output the reference clock. See CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_OUT_GPIO for more information.

If the RMII clock mode is selected to CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_INPUT, then GPIO0 is the only choice to input the REF_CLK signal. Please note that, GPIO0 is also an important strapping GPIO on ESP32. If GPIO0 samples a low level during power up, ESP32 will go into download mode. The system will get halted until a manually reset. The workaround of this issue is disabling the REF_CLK in hardware by default, so that the strapping pin won’t be interfered by other signals in boot stage. Then re-enable the REF_CLK in Ethernet driver installation stage. The ways to disable the REF_CLK signal can be:

  • Disable or power down the crystal oscillator (as the case b in the picture).

  • Force the PHY device in reset status (as the case a in the picture). This could fail for some PHY device (i.e. it still outputs signal to GPIO0 even in reset state).

What is more, if you are not using PSRAM in your design, GPIO16 and GPIO17 are also available to output the reference clock signal. See emac_rmii_clock_gpio_t::EMAC_CLK_OUT_GPIO and emac_rmii_clock_gpio_t::EMAC_CLK_OUT_180_GPIO or CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_OUT_GPIO for more information.

If the RMII clock mode is configured to emac_rmii_clock_mode_t::EMAC_CLK_EXT_IN (or CONFIG_ETH_RMII_CLK_INPUT is selected), then GPIO0 is the only choice to input the REF_CLK signal. Please note that GPIO0 is also an important strapping GPIO on ESP32. If GPIO0 samples a low level during power-up, ESP32 will go into download mode. The system will get halted until a manually reset. The workaround for this issue is disabling the REF_CLK in hardware by default so that the strapping pin is not interfered by other signals in the boot stage. Then, re-enable the REF_CLK in the Ethernet driver installation stage.

The ways to disable the REF_CLK signal can be:

  • Disable or power down the crystal oscillator (as the case b in the picture).

  • Force the PHY device to reset status (as the case a in the picture). This could fail for some PHY device (i.e., it still outputs signals to GPIO0 even in reset state).

Warning

If you want the Ethernet to work with Wi-Fi, don’t select ESP32 as source of REF_CLK as it would result in REF_CLK instability. Either disable Wi-Fi or use a PHY or an external oscillator as the REF_CLK source.

No matter which RMII clock mode you select, you really need to take care of the signal integrity of REF_CLK in your hardware design! Keep the trace as short as possible. Keep the trace as short as possible. Keep it away from RF devices. Keep it away from inductor elements.

Note

ESP-IDF only supports the RMII interface (i.e. always select CONFIG_ETH_PHY_INTERFACE_RMII in Kconfig option CONFIG_ETH_PHY_INTERFACE).

Signals used in the data plane are fixed to specific GPIOs via IO_MUX, they can not be modified to other GPIOs. Signals used in the control plane can be routed to any free GPIOs via Matrix. Please refer to ESP32-Ethernet-Kit for hardware design example.

We need to setup necessary parameters for MAC and PHY respectively based on your Ethernet board design and then combine the two together, completing the driver installation.

Configuration for MAC is described in eth_mac_config_t, including:

Configuration for PHY is described in eth_phy_config_t, including:

  • eth_phy_config_t::phy_addr: multiple PHY device can share the same SMI bus, so each PHY needs a unique address. Usually this address is configured during hardware design by pulling up/down some PHY strapping pins. You can set the value from 0 to 15 based on your Ethernet board. Especially, if the SMI bus is shared by only one PHY device, setting this value to -1 can enable the driver to detect the PHY address automatically.

  • eth_phy_config_t::reset_timeout_ms: reset timeout value, in milliseconds, typically PHY reset should be finished within 100ms.

  • eth_phy_config_t::autonego_timeout_ms: auto-negotiation timeout value, in milliseconds. Ethernet driver will start negotiation with the peer Ethernet node automatically, to determine to duplex and speed mode. This value usually depends on the ability of the PHY device on your board.

  • eth_phy_config_t::reset_gpio_num: if your board also connect the PHY reset pin to one of the GPIO, then set it here. Otherwise, set this field to -1.

ESP-IDF provides a default configuration for MAC and PHY in macro ETH_MAC_DEFAULT_CONFIG and ETH_PHY_DEFAULT_CONFIG.

Create MAC and PHY Instance

Ethernet driver is implemented in an Object-Oriented style. Any operation on MAC and PHY should be based on the instance of them two.

Internal EMAC + External PHY

eth_mac_config_t mac_config = ETH_MAC_DEFAULT_CONFIG();                      // apply default common MAC configuration
eth_esp32_emac_config_t esp32_emac_config = ETH_ESP32_EMAC_DEFAULT_CONFIG(); // apply default vendor-specific MAC configuration
esp32_emac_config.smi_mdc_gpio_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_MDC_GPIO;            // alter the GPIO used for MDC signal
esp32_emac_config.smi_mdio_gpio_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_MDIO_GPIO;          // alter the GPIO used for MDIO signal
esp_eth_mac_t *mac = esp_eth_mac_new_esp32(&esp32_emac_config, &mac_config); // create MAC instance

eth_phy_config_t phy_config = ETH_PHY_DEFAULT_CONFIG();      // apply default PHY configuration
phy_config.phy_addr = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_PHY_ADDR;           // alter the PHY address according to your board design
phy_config.reset_gpio_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_PHY_RST_GPIO; // alter the GPIO used for PHY reset
esp_eth_phy_t *phy = esp_eth_phy_new_ip101(&phy_config);     // create PHY instance
// ESP-IDF officially supports several different Ethernet PHY chip driver
// esp_eth_phy_t *phy = esp_eth_phy_new_rtl8201(&phy_config);
// esp_eth_phy_t *phy = esp_eth_phy_new_lan8720(&phy_config);
// esp_eth_phy_t *phy = esp_eth_phy_new_dp83848(&phy_config);

Optional Runtime MAC Clock Configuration

EMAC REF_CLK can be optionally configured from user application code.

eth_esp32_emac_config_t esp32_emac_config = ETH_ESP32_EMAC_DEFAULT_CONFIG(); // apply default vendor-specific MAC configuration

// ...

esp32_emac_config.interface = EMAC_DATA_INTERFACE_RMII;                      // alter EMAC Data Interface
esp32_emac_config.clock_config.rmii.clock_mode = EMAC_CLK_OUT;               // select EMAC REF_CLK mode
esp32_emac_config.clock_config.rmii.clock_gpio = EMAC_CLK_OUT_GPIO;          // select GPIO number used to input/output EMAC REF_CLK
esp_eth_mac_t *mac = esp_eth_mac_new_esp32(&esp32_emac_config, &mac_config); // create MAC instance

SPI-Ethernet Module

eth_mac_config_t mac_config = ETH_MAC_DEFAULT_CONFIG();      // apply default common MAC configuration
eth_phy_config_t phy_config = ETH_PHY_DEFAULT_CONFIG();      // apply default PHY configuration
phy_config.phy_addr = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_PHY_ADDR;           // alter the PHY address according to your board design
phy_config.reset_gpio_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_PHY_RST_GPIO; // alter the GPIO used for PHY reset
// Install GPIO interrupt service (as the SPI-Ethernet module is interrupt driven)
gpio_install_isr_service(0);
// SPI bus configuration
spi_device_handle_t spi_handle = NULL;
spi_bus_config_t buscfg = {
    .miso_io_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_MISO_GPIO,
    .mosi_io_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_MOSI_GPIO,
    .sclk_io_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_SCLK_GPIO,
    .quadwp_io_num = -1,
    .quadhd_io_num = -1,
};
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_bus_initialize(CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_HOST, &buscfg, 1));
// Configure SPI device
spi_device_interface_config_t spi_devcfg = {
    .mode = 0,
    .clock_speed_hz = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_CLOCK_MHZ * 1000 * 1000,
    .spics_io_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_CS_GPIO,
    .queue_size = 20
};
/* dm9051 ethernet driver is based on spi driver */
eth_dm9051_config_t dm9051_config = ETH_DM9051_DEFAULT_CONFIG(CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_HOST, &spi_devcfg);
dm9051_config.int_gpio_num = CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_INT_GPIO;
esp_eth_mac_t *mac = esp_eth_mac_new_dm9051(&dm9051_config, &mac_config);
esp_eth_phy_t *phy = esp_eth_phy_new_dm9051(&phy_config);

Note

  • When creating MAC and PHY instance for SPI-Ethernet modules (e.g. DM9051), the constructor function must have the same suffix (e.g. esp_eth_mac_new_dm9051 and esp_eth_phy_new_dm9051). This is because we don’t have other choices but the integrated PHY.

  • The SPI device configuration (i.e. spi_device_interface_config_t) may slightly differ for other Ethernet modules or to meet SPI timing on specific PCB. Please check out your module’s spec and the examples in esp-idf.

Install Driver

To install the Ethernet driver, we need to combine the instance of MAC and PHY and set some additional high-level configurations (i.e. not specific to either MAC or PHY) in esp_eth_config_t:

ESP-IDF provides a default configuration for driver installation in macro ETH_DEFAULT_CONFIG.

esp_eth_config_t config = ETH_DEFAULT_CONFIG(mac, phy); // apply default driver configuration
esp_eth_handle_t eth_handle = NULL; // after driver installed, we will get the handle of the driver
esp_eth_driver_install(&config, &eth_handle); // install driver

Ethernet driver also includes event-driven model, which will send useful and important event to user space. We need to initialize the event loop before installing the Ethernet driver. For more information about event-driven programming, please refer to ESP Event.

/** Event handler for Ethernet events */
static void eth_event_handler(void *arg, esp_event_base_t event_base,
                              int32_t event_id, void *event_data)
{
    uint8_t mac_addr[6] = {0};
    /* we can get the ethernet driver handle from event data */
    esp_eth_handle_t eth_handle = *(esp_eth_handle_t *)event_data;

    switch (event_id) {
    case ETHERNET_EVENT_CONNECTED:
        esp_eth_ioctl(eth_handle, ETH_CMD_G_MAC_ADDR, mac_addr);
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet Link Up");
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet HW Addr %02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x",
                    mac_addr[0], mac_addr[1], mac_addr[2], mac_addr[3], mac_addr[4], mac_addr[5]);
        break;
    case ETHERNET_EVENT_DISCONNECTED:
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet Link Down");
        break;
    case ETHERNET_EVENT_START:
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet Started");
        break;
    case ETHERNET_EVENT_STOP:
        ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet Stopped");
        break;
    default:
        break;
    }
}

esp_event_loop_create_default(); // create a default event loop that running in background
esp_event_handler_register(ETH_EVENT, ESP_EVENT_ANY_ID, &eth_event_handler, NULL); // register Ethernet event handler (to deal with user specific stuffs when event like link up/down happened)

Start Ethernet Driver

After driver installation, we can start Ethernet immediately.

esp_eth_start(eth_handle); // start Ethernet driver state machine

Connect Driver to TCP/IP Stack

Up until now, we have installed the Ethernet driver. From the view of OSI (Open System Interconnection), we’re still on level 2 (i.e. Data Link Layer). We can detect link up and down event, we can gain MAC address in user space, but we can’t obtain IP address, let alone send HTTP request. The TCP/IP stack used in ESP-IDF is called LwIP, for more information about it, please refer to LwIP.

To connect Ethernet driver to TCP/IP stack, these three steps need to follow:

  1. Create network interface for Ethernet driver

  2. Attach the network interface to Ethernet driver

  3. Register IP event handlers

More information about network interface, please refer to Network Interface.

/** Event handler for IP_EVENT_ETH_GOT_IP */
static void got_ip_event_handler(void *arg, esp_event_base_t event_base,
                                 int32_t event_id, void *event_data)
{
    ip_event_got_ip_t *event = (ip_event_got_ip_t *) event_data;
    const esp_netif_ip_info_t *ip_info = &event->ip_info;

    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet Got IP Address");
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "~~~~~~~~~~~");
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "ETHIP:" IPSTR, IP2STR(&ip_info->ip));
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "ETHMASK:" IPSTR, IP2STR(&ip_info->netmask));
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "ETHGW:" IPSTR, IP2STR(&ip_info->gw));
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "~~~~~~~~~~~");
}

esp_netif_init()); // Initialize TCP/IP network interface (should be called only once in application)
esp_netif_config_t cfg = ESP_NETIF_DEFAULT_ETH(); // apply default network interface configuration for Ethernet
esp_netif_t *eth_netif = esp_netif_new(&cfg); // create network interface for Ethernet driver

esp_netif_attach(eth_netif, esp_eth_new_netif_glue(eth_handle)); // attach Ethernet driver to TCP/IP stack
esp_event_handler_register(IP_EVENT, IP_EVENT_ETH_GOT_IP, &got_ip_event_handler, NULL); // register user defined IP event handlers
esp_eth_start(eth_handle); // start Ethernet driver state machine

Warning

It is recommended to fully initialize the Ethernet driver and network interface prior registering user’s Ethernet/IP event handlers, i.e. register the event handlers as the last thing prior starting the Ethernet driver. Such approach ensures that Ethernet/IP events get executed first by the Ethernet driver or network interface and so the system is in expected state when executing user’s handlers.

Misc control of Ethernet driver

The following functions should only be invoked after the Ethernet driver has been installed.

/* get MAC address */
uint8_t mac_addr[6];
memset(mac_addr, 0, sizeof(mac_addr));
esp_eth_ioctl(eth_handle, ETH_CMD_G_MAC_ADDR, mac_addr);
ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet MAC Address: %02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x",
         mac_addr[0], mac_addr[1], mac_addr[2], mac_addr[3], mac_addr[4], mac_addr[5]);

/* get PHY address */
int phy_addr = -1;
esp_eth_ioctl(eth_handle, ETH_CMD_G_PHY_ADDR, &phy_addr);
ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet PHY Address: %d", phy_addr);

Flow control

Ethernet on MCU usually has a limitation in the number of frames it can handle during network congestion, because of the limitation in RAM size. A sending station might be transmitting data faster than the peer end can accept it. Ethernet flow control mechanism allows the receiving node to signal the sender requesting suspension of transmissions until the receiver catches up. The magic behind that is the pause frame, which was defined in IEEE 802.3x.

Pause frame is a special Ethernet frame used to carry the pause command, whose EtherType field is 0x8808, with the Control opcode set to 0x0001. Only stations configured for full-duplex operation may send pause frames. When a station wishes to pause the other end of a link, it sends a pause frame to the 48-bit reserved multicast address of 01-80-C2-00-00-01. The pause frame also includes the period of pause time being requested, in the form of a two-byte integer, ranging from 0 to 65535.

After Ethernet driver installation, the flow control feature is disabled by default. You can enable it by:

bool flow_ctrl_enable = true;
esp_eth_ioctl(eth_handle, ETH_CMD_S_FLOW_CTRL, &flow_ctrl_enable);

One thing should be kept in mind, is that the pause frame ability will be advertised to peer end by PHY during auto negotiation. Ethernet driver sends pause frame only when both sides of the link support it.

Advanced Topics

Custom PHY Driver

There are multiple PHY manufactures with their wide portfolios of chips available. The ESP-IDF already supports several PHY chips however one can easily get to a point where none of them satisfies user’s actual needs due to either price, features, stock availability etc.

Luckily, a management interface between EMAC and PHY is standardized by IEEE 802.3 in 22.2.4 Management functions section. It defines provisions of so called “MII Management Interface” for the purposes of controlling the PHY and gathering status from the PHY. A set of management registers is defined to control chip behavior, link properties, auto-negotiation configuration etc. This basic management functionality is addressed by esp_eth/src/esp_eth_phy_802_3.c in ESP-IDF and so it makes a creation of new custom PHY chip driver quite a simple task.

Note

Always consult with PHY datasheet since some PHY chips may not comply with IEEE 802.3, Section 22.2.4. It does not mean you are not able to create a custom PHY driver, it will just require more effort. You will have to define all PHY management functions.

Majority of PHY management functionality required by the ESP-IDF Ethernet driver is covered by the esp_eth/src/esp_eth_phy_802_3.c however, the following may require developing chip specific management functions:

  • link status which is almost always chip specific,

  • chip initialization, even though it is not strictly required, should be customized to at least ensure that expected chip is used and

  • chip specific features configuration.

Steps to create custom PHY driver:

  1. Define vendor specific registry layout based on PHY datasheet. See esp_eth/src/esp_eth_phy_ip101.c as an example.

  2. Prepare derived PHY management object infostructure which

  3. Define chip specific management call-back functions.

  4. Initialize parent IEEE 802.3 object and re-assign chip specific management call-back functions.

Once you finish the new custom PHY driver implementation, consider sharing it among with other users via IDF Component Registry.

Start Ethernet driver ONLY in standalone mode (i.e. without TCP/IP stack)

Note

This API will start driver state machine and internal software timer (for checking link status).
