Re: [U-Boot] Warning NetReceive(): Make sure packet buffers start on an even address

Dear "Reinhard Meyer (-VC)",

In message 4C5BE2CF.2020306@emk-elektronik.de you wrote:

Instead of: static unsigned char buffer[ENC_MAX_FRM_LEN]; The following works fine: static unsigned long lbuffer[ENC_MAX_FRM_LEN/4]; #define buffer ((unsigned char *)lbuffer)

Is there a more elegant way of forcing a char array to start on an even address?

Sure. Use something like

static unsigned char buffer[ENC_MAX_FRM_LEN] __attribute__ ((aligned(4)));

Or, probably even better, use malloc() to allocate the buffer.

Best regards,
