The "rtems-libbsd" "if_atsam.c" driver is derived from the legacy one. What's
the status of the two drivers? I ask because I'm trying to do some small
memory testing with the legacy stack on the . It is building but not working,
I don't think network packets are going out even though the build is definitely
receiving broadcast packets because I see the number of incoming receive
interrupts increasing.
My first attempts crashed because the attach function unconditionally
de-referenced "config->hardware_address", most legacy drivers conditionalize
the de-reference. I modified the driver to do something similar to what the
"libbsd" driver does.
After that everything appears to work except networking isn't working. I put
the system on its own little section of a managed switch and I don't see any
packet activity. The app is running a shell with "netstat" and I can see the
count of receive interrupts going up.
Before I go much further I have a few questions.
- What's the usage of the "atsamv" driver? I know there are issues associated
with the external SRAM, clock speeds, and maybe clock references. But is the
legacy driver used, only the "libbsd" driver used, or neither?
Thanks -
Peter
