Hi!! I am using ML403 right now and everything works fine with the linuxppc_2_4_devel. My basic design has a simple UART, DDR, Ethernet, IIC and XSysAce. I haven't measured the power consumption yet, but I will soon. I'll let you know when I do it.
I thought about using the internal FPGA MAC as a complete PHY. For Ethernet over fiber it's ok, but for Ethernet over copper, we should implement the collision detector, serder... "manually" and I don't think we had enough space in the FPGA (XC4VFX12), since the actual design uses the 85% of slices. Maybe with a bigger FPGA we could do the complete design "inside". Have a good weekend! Paula -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/attachments/20060210/1efeab39/attachment.htm
