- mdioblock(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit mdioblock(1)
- NAME
- mdioblock - Qualcomm Atheros Clause 22 MDIO Instruction Block Assembler
- SYNOPSIS
- mdioblock [options] file [file] [...] [>stdout]
- mdioblock [options] [<stdin] [>stdout]
- DESCRIPTION
- Assemble an Atheros MDIO instruction block from hexadecimal register instructions. MDIO instruction blocks are written
- to Atheros powerline devices as modules using the VS_MOD_OP message type. Alternately, program int6kmod can be used.
- Atheros MDIO modules consists of a 16-bit header followed by one or more MDIO communication frames with register masks
- and padded to the nearest multiple of 32-bits for download purposes. MDIO instructions are specified here using 802.3
- Clause 22 (or phy, reg, data and mask) format. See program mdioblock2 for a similar program that accepts instructions in
- 802.3ae Clause 45 (or address, data and mask) format.
- This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
- instructions.
- OPTIONS
- -q Quiet mode. Suppresses error messages caused by instruction syntax errors.
- -v Verbose mode. Prints instructions on stderr as they are processed.
- -?,--help
- Displays program help information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the command
- line except version information.
- -!,--version
- Displays program version information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the com‐
- mand line except help information. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros technical staff.
- ARGUMENTS
- file A text files contining one or more generic MDIO register intructions consisting of a phy, reg, data and mask
- fields. Fields are seperated by whitespace and instructions are terminated with semicolon. Multiple instructions
- may appear on a single line or a single instruction can span multiple lines. Script-style comments are permitted
- between instructions but not between fields.
- REFERENCES
- See the Qualcomm Atheros AR7x00 Firmware Technical Reference Manual section on the Module Operation message type for more
- information on MDIO Block format.
- DISCLAIMER
- Atheros HomePlug AV Vendor Specific Management Message structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL
- USA. Consequently, public information may not be available. Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to modify message
- structure and content in future firmware releases without any obligation to notify or compensate users of this program.
- EXAMPLES
- The following command reads register instructions from file mdio.txt and writes them as an MDIO program block to file
- mdio.bin. In this example, the program acts as a filter.
- # mdioblock < mdio.txt > mdio.bin
- The following command reads register instructions from files physetup.dat, flowctl.dat and misc.ins and write them all as
- one MDIO block to file mdio.bin. The previous contents of file mdio.bin is overwritten.
- # mdioblock physetup.dat flowctl.dat misc.ins > mdio.bin
- An example register instruction file might look like this. The first two lines consist of one instruction each. An
- instruction has phy, reg, data and mask fields. Instruction fields are separated by whitespace. Instructions are sepa‐
- rated by a semicolon. Multiple instruction may appear on one line and one instruction can span multiple lines. Script-
- style comments are permitted between instructions but not between instruction fields.
- 18 00 0000 FFFF;
- 10 16 003F FFFF;
- # multiple instructions on one line;
- 10 17 7E3F FFFF; 18 00 0000 FFFF;
- # one instruction on multiple lines;
- 10
- 02
- 0700
- FFFF;
- 10 03 0000 FFFF;
- 18 00 0000 FFFF;
- 14 00 007D FFFF;
- 14 01 0000 FFFF;
- A 16-bit hexdump of the MDIO block will look like this on little-endian hosts. The block consists of a 16-bit header
- followed by a variable number of 16-bit triplets. The header indicates the number of triplets that follow. Each triplet
- specifies a 16-bit operation, a 16-bit data value and a 16-bit data mask. The application of these fields is beyond the
- scope of this man page. Consult the IEEE standards for more information.
- # hexdump mdio.bin
- 0000000 0241 8185 0000 ffff ad05 003f ffff af05
- 0000010 7e3f ffff 8185 0000 ffff 8505 0700 ffff
- 0000020 8705 0000 ffff 8185 0000 ffff 8145 007d
- 0000030 ffff 8345 0000 ffff
- An 8-bit dump of the MDIO block will look like this on all hosts since the MDIO block is always distributed in little-
- endian format.
