ok， i will examine the configuration on  the phy , maybe there is a difference  between ar8035 and ar8031, but i do not
 aware of it now.


thank you for helping me , thanks!

Starting the mx6x driver will turn the PHY off, but when you run “ifconfig fec0 up” the PHY should initialize and the 
link should come up. It sounds as though you have a configuration problem with the PHY.
The nicinfo state of “unknown” is because the link isn’t up. Then link state is normally read from the PHY status 
register.

    2.power on the board without starting the network service in the bulid configeration file.  etc,

    3. the led of the net port in board and computer is on and blinking, at this time  the phy is not init because i do 
not start the service.

    the key point of this problem is why the status of ifconfig info is always  no carrier,  not  active. Have you ever 
encountered such problems before?
    another question is  the Current Operation Rate of nicinfo is always unknown, what does this means ? which register 
is this read?
    
    
    thank you very much!

    Are you using a crossover cable to connect to your win10 machine? Have you tried plugging the cable into a switch?

hello,Hugh Brown:
   the question that i emailed to you have been sovled, the reason is PHY needs to reset by hardware. however, the 
ar8035 datasheet and qnx bsp do not execute this step. when i add this step, PHY can work properly.
  
   thank you very much!
