We have an 8139 and have successfully downloaded and run a kernel with
DINK version 13.1.1. I didn't do it but the instructions sent from the
person who did are:
To download via the network, DINK uses fixed IP
address and Realtek8139 NIC. The steps are:
1. do "ppr" verify NIC card has been identified vendor/device ID as
10EC/8139
2. do "env IO=COM1:9600 at 100, Then "reset".
3. do "ni -i " to set up your network parameters. For example:
DINK32[MPC7457] {1} >>ni
NETWORK INFORMATION
PCI CARD
Type 8139/10EC on slot 16
SETTINGS
SERVER(TFTP) : 192.168. 1. 1
GATEWAY : 192.168. 1. 1
NETMASK : 255.255.255. 0
DHCP : 192.168. 1. 1
CLIENT(DINK) : 192.168. 1. 7
DHCP: Disabled
SESSION TIMEOUT: Never
4. set up you tftp server at host side
5. The download command is "dl -nw -b -o800000 -fzImage.sandpoint"
6. "go 810000"
You can change IP addr, image name, to fit your setup.
As far as differences in the X2 vs. X3, yes there are important
differences. Does DINK v13.1.1 run successfully & download via the
network successfully on an X2? I don't know, you'll have to figure that
out for yourself or talk to Motorola.
