Hi,
I am trying to develop an stand alone application in u-boot, to test the loopback operation of INCA-IP ethernet module.
I have nothing specific for your chip, but a suggestion for an alternative approach.
In case you're not aware, code was added to U-boot a few months ago in:
commit 83853178bd36bca6f0f8f1331476620c84a587fc
for responding to ICMP requests. If you put your PHY in loopback, you can use the 'ping' command to generate traffic without building a throwaway stand-alone application. Of course you'll need to format your code as a U-boot driver, but it's not that hard, people are here to help and eventually you'll need to do it anyway.
Just a thought...
