Re: [ECOS] How to configure MPC8260 ethernet in Redboot

[Paul Fine <pfine at delcomsys dot com>]

I haven't built for the VADS board in a long time, but ...

You do not need to add the network stack for RedBoot, because RedBoot
has its own limited stack.

You do need to import an "ecm" file, either for ROM or RAM.  I assume
that you are using the configtool.  From the File menu, choose "import"
and navigate to 

	/opt/ecos/ecos-2.0/packages/hal/powerpc/vads/v2_0/misc

and choose an ".ecm" file.  You probably want to start with the RAM
version.

I am not sure why the ethernet driver is gray, but it used to built with
the ethernet drivers, so it should still work.

Build it, load it to the VADS board, and try to do something with the
network (load a file via TFTP, ping the board, ping a computer on your
network from the board, ...).

Good Luck
