Hi All,

I'm bulding my own board based on beaglebone black, but I need a 1Gb ethernet support.

What changes in terms of linux package should be made in order to support 1Gb ethernet?

The SanCloud BeagleBone Enhanced uses a 1GB phy:

see the kernel dts for mdio/cpsw changes:

Thanks,

I'm about to use Marvell Ethernet switch 88E6341 ,

I've seen the driver exits under driivers folder:

https://github.com/beagleboard/linux/commits/4.4/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx.c

How will the linux "knows" to use this driver??

(p.s. since the ethernet swith is unmanaged, it should be treated as Gbit Ethernet PHY)
