Hello all,
We have developed a board based on the Freescale MPC8315E-RDB. We have made some changes to the board in order to cut costs, and one of the changes made was to replace the standard Ethernet chip with the SMSC LAN8700 chip. We are able to start up the board and get it to launch u-boot:
"=>"
However once in the u-boot command line we are unable to perform any network functions. Ping fails as well as the tftp command to get our linux image acrross to the board.
From what we can tell it should not be a problem and all we need to do is
enable RMII support for the uboot and it should detect the chip. Is this correct? If it is how do we go about enabling RMII support for the device, and is there anything else we need to do in order to get this chip supported by the u-boot?
We compiled our version of u-boot by using the LTIB software that came with the MPC8315E-RDB BSP which automatically generated our u-boot version.
Regards,
Louis
