Hi Jan, I have now a first version of the RTnet driver for MPC52xx FEC running, at least rtping works. Unfortunately, porting of that beast from Linux 2.4 to RTnet was not straight-forward:
- As the MPC52xx has only one ethernet port, driver development might be cubersome. This limitation might be overcome by mounting a PCI ethernet card (if a PCI connector is available). - The Linux driver fec.c cannot be loaded as kernel module (symbols not exported, etc.). This requires a small kernel patch. - The driver requires PHY management (MDIO) to get ethernet working. Is there already a policy how to handle link setup and changes? I assume that the link is setup when the driver is loaded or the device opened and link changes during runtime are not handled at all. Where should I put supporting files for the driver like the mentioned kernel patch or a README. In the drivers directory? Thanks. Wolfgang. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games. How far can you shotput a projector?
