Re: [U-Boot-Users] Passing MACs to Linux

To save most the banter, and rephrasing: What is the 'EXPECTED' current behavior of the 83xx/6xx architecture for the most current 1.3.3+ GIT release of passing MACs into Linux 2.6.24. Lastly, I am using the UEC 83xx driver. I have defined QE_OF. I have defined CONFIG_UEC_ETH. I have defined CON

Bruce, I think you've hit upon something here. After checking the SPD tables during the intial comparison for data rates, it is clear that 1) the DDR2 bit fields are not defined properly. i.e. it looks like the big if-if-else statement specifically does not have valid DDR2 values defined for clk_c

[U-Boot-Users] UEC Driver - 83xx RGMII half duplex BUG FIX - RFC

2008-06-02 Thread Russell McGuire
All, I wanted to post this for comments before I submitted a patch. Anyone using the 83xx and maybe other families, may or may not have noticed that any half duplex connection will not work, except in MII or RMII modes. Although, I am guessing that many people never use this mode, real pain

All - Freescale crowd, Carefully reading the manual it becomes evident, though not obvious that current U-boot UEC driver would crash with any 10BaseT hub connected. I.e. any RGMII connection with Half Duplex, which the current UEC driver readily will set, is an illegal mode in the MPC83xx chipse

Not sure where exactly yet, but I have tracked this down to someplace between Release v1.3.2 and Tag v1.3.3-rc1 is where it breaks on my FC5 machine. Using 'git checkout -f v.1.3.xx', full clean, reconfigure, etc.. I am checking out intermediate versions now to see exactly what commit is causing
