MPC8260 Ethernet Problem

Apr 18, 2006 0 Replies

Hi



I'm working on an Embedded Planet Board EP8260, with Linux OS The Kernel is 2.6.15, with the PlanetCore boot loader. This kind of board uses the FCC3 for the Ethernet controller with the LXT971A transceiver. For the kernel configurations I use:


-CPM2 Option -- FCC Ethernet =y -- Ethernet on FCC3 =y -- Use MDIO for PHY configuration =y -- Type of PHY = LXT971



The OS start without any problems but it doesn't recognize the LX971A transceiver, and don't recognize the eth0 device



If I choose:


-CPM2 Option -- FCC Ethernet =y -- Ethernet on FCC3 =y -- Use MDIO for PHY configuration =N



The system start-up and configure Ethernet devices as eth0. Now I use the command ifconfig for define the IP address of eth0 as



10.0.0.249 If I ping the EP8260 board from another system for example 10.0.0.88 I don't have any answer. It seems a problem with Ethernet driver ?? The strange things is that in the source code of fcc_enet.c are there many reference on EP8260 board. Any suggestion ? Thx
