Dear Glenn, >3. The speed of the network was very poor. I wanted to implement DMA for >the TEMAC. I created a new PPC with BSB using DMA on the TEMAC. Kernel >recompilied without a problem, but upon starting the kernel I got:
In fact, the old cores of TEMAC(plb_temac 2.00 & hard_temac 1.00) also support DMA. But of course the 3.00 cores are prefered because of other improved features. >6. I am using busybox 1.2.1 which worked fine previously configuring the >network. Now when I execute ifconfig I get the following problem: >[ 12.228721] eth0: XTemac: Options: 0xb8f2 >[ 24.197749] eth0: XTemac: Not able to set the speed to 1000 (status: >0x148) >[ 34.215593] eth0: XTemac: Not able to set the speed to 100 (status: >0x148) >[ 44.232349] eth0: XTemac: Not able to set the speed to 10 (status: >0x148) >[ 44.313727] eth0: XTemac: could not negotiate speed >[ 44.372226] eth0: XTemac: Send Threshold = 16, Receive Threshold = 2 >[ 44.448421] eth0: XTemac: Send Wait bound = 1, Receive Wait bound = 1 ># [ 57.180152] eth0: XTemac: PHY Link carrier lost. I also had such a problem before. To solve such a problem most quickly, you can just specify a fixed speed (like 1000Mbps) in adapter.c file. In this file, after the line of "/* Get current link speed */ (around L378) and "phylinkspeed = (RegValue & MARVELL_88E1111_LINKSPEED_MARK)>> MARVELL_88E1111_LINKSPEED_SHIFT;", I just add and specify the speed as "phylinkspeed = MARVELL_88E1111_LINKSPEED_1000M;" Of course with this method, the speed cannot be auto-negotiated any more. Another hints: I remember that there is another post from Rick on the updated "adapter.c" a few days ago. Maybe that could solve your problem. I didn't try that before. So if you will try, pls let us know the result. :) BR Ming _________________________________________________________________ 享用世界上最大的电子邮件系统― MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
