I found a driver (xilinx_emaclite.c) in the U-boot git. That completely
refuses to work correctly (of course with parameters corrected). The
other driver I once found "somewhere" (in the Petalinux distribution).
i don't know what exact versions are you using. for me the following
combination works reasonably both with tx-ping-pong = rx-ping-pong = 0
and with tx-ping-pong = rx-ping-pong = 1, both under u-boot and
linux (i'm normally using ping-pong = 1, i've only made a quick test
with ping-pong = 0):
- edk 9.1, opb_ethernetlite v1.01.b, v4-fx12 (memec/avnet minimodule)
- u-boot: ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-1.3.3.tar.bz2
- linux: xilinx's git://git.xilinx.com/linux-2.6-xlnx, 2.6.26-rc6
also, i think there is a bug in the linux driver: the XEmacLite_Config
structure used to set up the device is located on the stack. so
after the init returns, further references to this struct by the
os independent part of the driver are invalid. see the attached
patch. i don't know if it solves your prolem, though..
(the patch also replaces a few calls of dev_kfree_skb() from
interrupt context. thoose can generate lots of warnings on the
console, thus slowing down operation.)
