Forum Post: Ethernet PHY link status

$

I have a need to be able to programatically, check the link state of the Ethernet PHY.  I followed the example in the NetX documentation (under Synergy SSP 1.0.0) but it always shows the link as "up": Example: /* Wait 10 ticks for the link up status on the previously created IP instance. */ status = nx_ip_status_check(&ip_0, NX_IP_LINK_ENABLED, &actual_status, 10); /* If status is NX_SUCCESS, the link for the specified IP instance is up. */ For the DK-S7G2 dev kit, it appears the ETn_LINKSTA pin is not connected to the PHY.  Not sure if the driver is looking at the ETn_LINKSTA input to determine Ethernet link status - can anyone confirm please? Is there a Renesas SSP alternative to the NetX method above for determining if the Ethernet adapter is connected? Thanks, Tim
