(I believe it came across this mailing list a few > weeks ago) I have generated the BSP by EDK 8.1.1 for my project in ML403(hardcore Temac and PLB Temac included). I noticed that there is a directory called Xilinx_gige in the directory of /drivers/net. Is this the driver for MontaVista Linux2.4.20? Yes, this is the PLB TEMAC driver for Linux 2.4.20. In EDK 8.1.x, the temac driver and Makefile are copied to drivers/net/xilinx_gige. This xilinx_gige directory is not available in the MVL 3.1 Preview Kit, only in the full Professional kit. We put the temac driver here mostly to take advantage of the JUMBO_FRAME_SUPPORT in kernel configuration. I copied the BSP and overwrote the original one in the linux kernel directory (in the kernel directory, there is only a directory called Xilinx_enet, no Xilinx_gige. So I just copied Xilinx_gige.). However, my problem is in the menuconfig item of Network Device Support->1000Mbit ethernet, there is not any option to choose and enable the Xilinx on-chip ethernet. Is this a problem of MontaVista Linux 3.1 Preview Kit, or my problem? And What shall I do to enable the tri-mode Temac in my platform? Thanks for your answer. Our best recommendation is to use the drivers/net/xilinx_enet directory for the temac driver and just enable the Xilinx 10/100 Ethernet in menuconfig. If you want jumbo frame support, modify adapter.c in the driver to define the CONFIG_XILINX_GIGE_JUMBO constant. Note that Linux 2.6 support for the temac should be available from MontaVista soon and a driver was pushed to this mailing list in March. There will be support for MV Linux 2.6 in EDK 8.2.1 (around August). Thanks, Rick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
