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:

1. Basic Ethernet Concepts

2. Configure MAC and PHY

3. Connect Driver to TCP/IP Stack

4. Misc control of Ethernet driver

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.

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:

• sw_reset_timeout_ms: software reset timeout value, in milliseconds, typically MAC reset should be finished within 100ms.

• rx_task_stack_size and rx_task_prio: the MAC driver creates a dedicated task to process incoming packets, these two parameters are used to set the stack size and priority of the task.

• flags: specifying extra features that the MAC driver should have, it could be useful in some special situations. The value of this field can be OR’d with macros prefixed with ETH_MAC_FLAG_. For example, if the MAC driver should work when cache is disabled, then you should configure this field with ETH_MAC_FLAG_WORK_WITH_CACHE_DISABLE.

Configuration for PHY is described in eth_phy_config_t, including:

• 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.

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

• 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.

• 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.

SPI-Ethernet Module

eth_mac_config_t mac_config = ETH_MAC_DEFAULT_CONFIG();      // apply default 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));
// Allocate SPI device from the bus
spi_device_interface_config_t devcfg = {
    .command_bits = 1,
    .address_bits = 7,
    .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
};
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(spi_bus_add_device(CONFIG_EXAMPLE_ETH_SPI_HOST, &devcfg, &spi_handle));
/* dm9051 ethernet driver is based on spi driver */
eth_dm9051_config_t dm9051_config = ETH_DM9051_DEFAULT_CONFIG(spi_handle);
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.

• We have to create an SPI device handle firstly and then pass it to the MAC constructor function. More instructions on creating SPI device handle, please refer to SPI Master.

• The SPI device configuration (i.e. spi_device_interface_config_t) can be different for other Ethernet modules. 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:

• mac: instance that created from MAC generator (e.g. esp_eth_mac_new_esp32()).

• phy: instance that created from PHY generator (e.g. esp_eth_phy_new_ip101()).

• check_link_period_ms: Ethernet driver starts an OS timer to check the link status periodically, this field is used to set the interval, in milliseconds.

• stack_input: In most of Ethernet IoT applications, any Ethernet frame that received by driver should be passed to upper layer (e.g. TCP/IP stack). This field is set to a function which is responsible to deal with the incoming frames. You can even update this field at runtime via function esp_eth_update_input_path() after driver installation.

• on_lowlevel_init_done and on_lowlevel_deinit_done: These two fields are used to specify the hooks which get invoked when low level hardware has been initialized or de-initialized.

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.

• Stop Ethernet driver: esp_eth_stop()

• Update Ethernet data input path: esp_eth_update_input_path()

• Misc get/set of Ethernet driver attributes: esp_eth_ioctl()

/* 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 invoking esp_eth_ioctl(eth_handle, ETH_CMD_S_FLOW_CTRL, true);. 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.

Application Example

• Ethernet basic example: ethernet/basic.

• Ethernet iperf example: ethernet/iperf.

• Ethernet to Wi-Fi AP “router”: ethernet/eth2ap.

• Most of protocol examples should also work for Ethernet: protocols.

esp_err_t esp_eth_driver_uninstall(esp_eth_handle_t hdl)

Uninstall Ethernet driver.

Note

It’s not recommended to uninstall Ethernet driver unless it won’t get used any more in application code. To uninstall Ethernet driver, you have to make sure, all references to the driver are released. Ethernet driver can only be uninstalled successfully when reference counter equals to one.

esp_err_t esp_eth_start(esp_eth_handle_t hdl)

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).

Parameters

hdl – [in] handle of Ethernet driver

Returns

• ESP_OK: start esp_eth driver successfully

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: start esp_eth driver failed because of some invalid argument

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: start esp_eth driver failed because driver has started already

• ESP_FAIL: start esp_eth driver failed because some other error occurred

esp_err_t esp_eth_stop(esp_eth_handle_t hdl)

Stop Ethernet driver.

Note

This function does the oppsite operation of esp_eth_start.

Parameters

hdl – [in] handle of Ethernet driver

Returns

• ESP_OK: stop esp_eth driver successfully

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: stop esp_eth driver failed because of some invalid argument

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE: stop esp_eth driver failed because driver has not started yet

esp_err_t esp_eth_update_input_path(esp_eth_handle_t hdl, esp_err_t (*stack_input)(esp_eth_handle_t hdl, uint8_t *buffer, uint32_t length, void *priv), void *priv)

Update Ethernet data input path (i.e. specify where to pass the input buffer)

Note

After install driver, Ethernet still don’t know where to deliver the input buffer. In fact, this API registers a callback function which get invoked when Ethernet received new packets.

Parameters

• hdl – [in] handle of Ethernet driver

• stack_input – [in] function pointer, which does the actual process on incoming packets

• priv – [in] private resource, which gets passed to stack_input callback without any modification

Returns

• ESP_OK: update input path successfully

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: update input path failed because of some invalid argument

• ESP_FAIL: update input path failed because some other error occurred

esp_err_t esp_eth_transmit(esp_eth_handle_t hdl, void *buf, size_t length)

General Transmit.

Parameters

• hdl – [in] handle of Ethernet driver

• buf – [in] buffer of the packet to transfer

• length – [in] length of the buffer to transfer

Returns

• ESP_OK: transmit frame buffer successfully

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: transmit frame buffer failed because of some invalid argument

• ESP_FAIL: transmit frame buffer failed because some other error occurred

esp_err_t esp_eth_receive(esp_eth_handle_t hdl, uint8_t *buf, uint32_t *length)

General Receive is deprecated and shall not be accessed from app code, as polling is not supported by Ethernet.

Note

Before this function got invoked, the value of “length” should set by user, equals the size of buffer. After the function returned, the value of “length” means the real length of received data.

Note

This API was exposed by accident, users should not use this API in their applications. Ethernet driver is interrupt driven, and doesn’t support polling mode. Instead, users should register input callback with esp_eth_update_input_path.

Parameters

• hdl – [in] handle of Ethernet driver

• buf – [out] buffer to preserve the received packet

• length – [out] length of the received packet

Returns

• ESP_OK: receive frame buffer successfully

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG: receive frame buffer failed because of some invalid argument

• ESP_ERR_INVALID_SIZE: input buffer size is not enough to hold the incoming data. in this case, value of returned “length” indicates the real size of incoming data.

• ESP_FAIL: receive frame buffer failed because some other error occurred

esp_err_t esp_eth_ioctl(esp_eth_handle_t hdl, esp_eth_io_cmd_t cmd, void *data)

Misc IO function of Etherent driver.

The following IO control commands are supported:

• ETH_CMD_S_MAC_ADDR sets Ethernet interface MAC address. data argument is pointer to MAC address buffer with expected size of 6 bytes.

• ETH_CMD_G_PHY_ADDR gets PHY address. data argument is pointer to memory of uint32_t datatype to which the PHY address is to be stored.

• ETH_CMD_G_SPEED gets current Ethernet link speed. data argument is pointer to memory of eth_speed_t datatype to which the speed is to be stored.

• ETH_CMD_S_PROMISCUOUS sets/resets Ethernet interface promiscuous mode. data argument is pointer to memory of bool datatype from which the configuration option is read.

Input RMII Clock from external. EMAC Clock GPIO number needs to be configured when this option is selected.

Note

MAC will get RMII clock from outside. Note that ESP32 only supports GPIO0 to input the RMII clock.

GPIO0 can be set to output a pre-divided PLL clock (test only!). Enabling this option will configure GPIO0 to output a 50MHz clock. In fact this clock doesn’t have directly relationship with EMAC peripheral. Sometimes this clock won’t work well with your PHY chip. You might need to add some extra devices after GPIO0 (e.g. inverter). Note that outputting RMII clock on GPIO0 is an experimental practice. If you want the Ethernet to work with WiFi, don’t select GPIO0 output mode for stability.
