question about linux with Xilinx ML-403
Dear Rick, First, thanks a lot for your information. However I still have something to ask. 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. I am not so clear with this. Do you mean that I just copy the source code in the directory of xilinx_gige generated by EDK into the directory of xilinx_enet in linux2.4.20, and then enable the Xilinx 10/100 ethernet in the menuconfig? Can this method realize the 1000M ethernet? The source code file names for Temac (xtemac_xxx.c or .h) are different with the ones for emac (xemac_xxx.c or .h). Can the xtemac files be recognized by the linux kernel? BR Ming _ ??? MSN Hotmail? http://www.hotmail.com

Can the xtemac files be recognized by the linux kernel? Right - you would need to copy the xtemac* files and the Makefile over, and would have to change the Makefile to make sure it produces xilinx_enet.o instead of xilinx_gige.o. We haven't tried this, but we don't think there's any reason this shouldn't work. Can you let us know how it goes? -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dear Rick, OK. I will try that. However I cannot promise to finish this very soon because I am a novice. :) I will let you know if there is any result. Thanks for your method.

Ming, Another option for you may be to get MontaVista's latest linuxppc-2.4 kernel tree from source.mvista.com (using rsync), which I believe has the xilinx_gige directory and menuconfig entries. -Rick -Original Message- From: Ming Liu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 12:36 PM To: rick.moleres Cc: linuxppc-embedded at ozlabs.org Subject: RE: question about linux with Xilinx ML-403 Dear Rick, OK.

question about linux with Xilinx ML-403
Dear Rick, Yes. I have downloaded the linuxppc-2.4 kernel. There is really the temac support. Thanks a lot for your information. Also. MontaVista will release the pro 4.0 based on 2.6 in the end of this month. I think in this version, Temac will be included. Temac will be more popularly supported in the following versions, I think.

question about linux with Xilinx ML-403
Hi Rick, Yes, we have a driver for the PLB TEMAC (different than the GSRD LL TEMAC) for Linux 2.4 (MontaVista Linux 2.4.20) that's shipped in EDK 8.1.1, and MontaVista is on the verge of publishing a driver for PLB TEMAC for Linux 2.6. (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? 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.

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.

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...
