Hi, I have a Lab casa cmts that is not booting correctly:
casa-2#show system
Product: C2200, Module: SMM
Major rev 1, Minor rev 1
serial_no = SV06BA7S0010
CFE version 2.1.5
System Time: Tue Oct 14 03:57:04 PDT 2025
System Uptime: 0 d, 0 h, 4 m, 41 s
128MHz T1 Clock
Module 0 QAM NotReady
Module 1 UPS NotReady
looks problem happen when system tries to load the BCM chip that controls the 4 gigabiteth interfaces:
[1760439513] linux-bcm-core (131): Cold boot..
[1760439514] soc_miim_read: timeout (id=0x80 addr=0x02)

[1760439516] linux-bcm-core (131): ERROR: Driver initialization failed: Operation timed out
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/bcm5690/linux-bcm-core.ko': -1 Operation not permitted
and then the rest of hardware does not load correctly, including the RF linecards.
does anyone know if this problem can be solved ?, or if it is possible to bypass this driver/controller so 10/100 eth interface and RF Downstream/Upstream load correctly ?
Thanks.
