no PHY setup on Zedboard using petalinux 2014.2

I have made a simple Zedboard configuration using Vivado 2014.2 and Petalinux 2014.2 under SUSE enterprise. The configuration just has the switches, buttons and LEDu2019s.
After exporting things from Vivado I run through the following

petalinux-create --type project --template <CPU_TYPE> --name <PROJECT_NAME>
cd <directory which contains hardware description file>
petalinux-config --get-hw-description -p <plnx-proj-root>

I use the menu to select SD card booting then run;

petalinux-build

Finally I do;

petalinux-package --boot --fsbl <FSBL image> --fpga <FPGA bitstream> --uboot

After copying the BOOT.bin and image.ub files onto and SD card the board boots up and runs my little test app ok.

I tried ifconfig 192.168.1.3 and that was OK but I get no response from a ping on the Ethernet. Looking at the boot results is appears I have the following error
u201CConfiguring network interfaces... xemacps e000b000.ps7-ethernet: eth0: no PHY setupu201D

Apparently this means I have no Ethernet driver, so my question is simple, what do I have to change in the build configuration to get this driver built for the Zedboard?

Thanks in advance for your help

    I downloaded but decided to spool up the BSP for 2014.2 for the microZed020 and realized the Ethernet fixes that go in system-top.dts go OUTSIDE the top set of lines.

    I wasn't getting a warning/error -- and that was the why the entry wasn't making it to the .dtb file.

    So no need to jump to Vivado/Petalinux 2014.4 just yet.

    I'm finding version jumping is a precarious thing.

    Thanks for letting us know how you resolved the issue.

     

    I would still encourage you to move to PetaLinux 2014.4. In long term testing of Ethernet on the MicroZed we, and several customers, have observed occasional errors using PetaLinux 2014.2 that do not appear in the same testing with PetaLinux 2014.4. We don't have a root cause for the errors but have been able to reproduce the results.

    And I will eventually...

    I'd like to get my base image working first.

    Now that Ethernet is working (not sure the LED's are correct. Only the YEL LED shows up on a 1Gb connection), I need to get I2C-0 working on the PMOD connector (will post separately - it's not working)

    Would you happen to have the datasheet (or can provide guidance) on the 88e1512 used on the uZed-020?

    Thanks,

    -Ben

    (SOLVED)

    As a follow-up on the LEDs, I'm guessing they're ok.

    It seems:

    GRN     = 10Mb/s
    YEL/GRN = 100Mb/s
    YEL     = 1Gb/s

    For anyone else who'd like to know.
