Hi,
(Joe, Simon, I'm not sure if this counts as "networking" or "driver model" but figured it was close enough to warrant an Cc).
We're looking at a new board design and are planning on using a BCM5718 to provide a couple of Ethernet ports. The chipset is supported in Linux using the tg3.c driver. I was planning on creating an equivalent driver in u-boot using e1000.c as a guide and probably borrowing heavily from the Linux driver.
Is anyone else actively looking at Broadcom based chipset/NICs? Any tips as for where to start or pitfalls to expect?
I'm not aware of anything myself, but it sounds like a good idea. If you feel able to convert 'eth' over to driver model that would be great too. There are only a small number of operations.
Regards, Simon
