Hello,

My DMA problems with the AT91 EMAC Ethernet driver are solved (cf. http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2008-06/msg00135.html).

The problems are caused by the RedBoot ROM monitor:
=> a RAM application has DMA problems (RX Overrun in EMAC Ethernet HW block in AT91SAM9260)
=> a "JTAGRAM" application works fine
(JTAGRAM: initializes the VVT, so does not use/need a ROM monitor - from my build script:
 cdl_option CYGSEM_HAL_USE_ROM_MONITOR {
     user_value 0 0
 };

 # cdl_option CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_INIT_WHOLE_TABLE {
 #     user_value 1
# # Default value: CYG_HAL_STARTUP != "RAM" || !CYGSEM_HAL_USE_ROM_MONITOR
 #     # option CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_CLAIM_DEFAULT
 #     #     ActiveIf: !CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_INIT_WHOLE_TABLE
 #     # Requires: CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_CLAIM_RESET
 #     # Requires: CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_CLAIM_DELAY_US
 #     # Requires: CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_CLAIM_CACHE
 #     # Requires: CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_CLAIM_DATA
 #     # Requires: CYGSEM_HAL_VIRTUAL_VECTOR_CLAIM_COMMS
 # }; default with rom monitor to 0

 cdl_option CYGDBG_HAL_DEBUG_GDB_INCLUDE_STUBS {
     user_value 0
 };
)

Does anybody know why??
I am not debugging with gdb. I am only connected to the board with a serial port to see the diag_printf's.
This is the startup procedure: Redboot ROM does 'fis load application; go;'

Kind regards,
Jürgen
