Weeeeeeell... not exactly. The other thing (or rather one of many other
things) on my todo list is to add a core description file for ethmac,
because unfortunately no one has added ethmac support to ORPSoCv3 yet. Best
case: it's just to write a simple description file. Worst case: we have to
add some ORPSoC-specific patches to make it work. My plan here was to test
the support on my ordb2a board since that should be well supported and has
a built-in ethernet Phy. Lack of time is once again the culprit here.

What you can do is try to add the core description file yourself. It should
be fairly easy to do using existing .core files as examples. If that works,
you're good to go. Otherwise I'm here to help.

Regards,
Olof
