That's good. Do you know if u-boot did init it? In my case i'm quite sure the u-boot i used did not, and i'm now guessing just by quick look at sxie.c, that iirc. there was some ugly hack somewhere to enable the use of some sram section in memory for the emac, and since i saw no trace of that hack in sxie.c, maybe it was elsewhere and got cleaned up? meaning sxie would rely on u-boot to work? i'll test when i have a free sd-card, will let you know. i didn't spot any significant difference in the nodes for emac between A10s(=sun5i) and A10(sun4i), so i do think this should work for me on A10 if it does for you on A10s too. :) -Artturi
