Re: [ECOS] Adding a 82544 driver Package to redboot

["G.Muruganandam" <gmuruga at gdatech dot com>]

Hello,

Issue:

I am unable to ping using the GIGE ethernet interface under readboot.
The ethernet interface is based on Intel's ethernet MAC 82540.

Please find below the steps that I followed.


I have added the 82544 driver package to redboot and
I am able to build it.

Actually I am using 82540 in the target board. Its features are derived from
82544. It is like 82546 except for the fact that it(82540) has
single ethernet port where as 82546 has dual ethernet port.

(In the driver code, I have included the device ID for 82540
which is 0x100E.)

The ethernet driver is coming up and I am able to read the PHY resisters 
correctly.


Redboot Output:
============

PHY 1 regs:
1140 7949 0141 0C23 0DE1 0000 0004 2001
0000 0300 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 3000
0368 8100 0000 0040 0C60 0000 0000 0000
4100 0000 000A 808F 0000 0000 0000 0000

Also I am able to read the EEPROM values correctly.


Redboot Output:
============

Valid EEPROM checksum
eth_set_mac_address
setting: lo FF48DEAC hi 80000006
Set MAC Address = AC DE 48 FF 06 00 (ok 1)

Ethernet eth0: MAC address ac:de:48:ff:06:00
IP: 192.168.200.198, Default server: 192.168.200.165


I have also captured below the "fconfig" command output under redboot
to show that ethernet port is assigned with proper IP address.

Redboot Output:
============

Master-RedBoot_2800> fconfig -l

ISSUE:
======

Even though the ethernet driver is coming up with out any  the error 
message, I am
unable to ping using the ethernet interface. Redboot throws up the 
following error
message when I am trying to ping.

(I have connected the target board and my host system using a 10/100 
ethernet switch.
And I am trying to ping the host ( 192.168.200.165) from the target( 
192.168.200.198))

Master-RedBoot_2800> ping -h 192.168.200.165
Ethernet send:
0x00043974: FFFF FFFF FFFF ACDE  48FF 0600 0806        |........H.....  |
0x00145FDC: 0001 0800 0604 0001  ACDE 48FF 0600 C0A8   |..........H.....|
0x00145FEC: C8C6 0000 0000 0000  C0A8 C8A5             |............    |
PING: Can't find address of server '192.168.200.165'

Could some one help me to fix this ethernet issue and do let me know
if you need more information.


Thanks in advance.
