Do you have a working Linux kernel with a working network interface ? The Linux and U-Boot macb driver and PIO configuration is very close, and if you manage to make it work under Linux you'll probably have little trouble finding out the problem.
Are all settings of uboot overwritten by linux?
Almost all the settings are overwritten, yes.
I am not to comfortable hacking in the Linux kernel and I had the focus on Uboot.
So you do not have a working Linux kernel. This was my question.
Olimex was kind enough to make Uboot nandflash build working with there board, And deliver sources I cant compile, due to an error: Hardware float vs software float. But I want a dataflash version because I am using a BGA chip with nandflash bug.
I don't see what NAND has to do with ethernet here.
The AT91SAM9260 BGA chip has a bug, that booting from NAND has problems.
Ok, but this has nothing to do with the Ethernet, right ? If the ethernet is supposed to work with their U-Boot version, it will probably work as well if you configure U-Boot to boot from dataflash instead of NAND flash.
Also, what cross chain are you using ? I have seen strange network errors when using recent compilers which after investigation were -Os optimisation errors. (using the latest CodeSourcery toolchain for example).
I am using the compilers from buildroot.
This doesn't learn us anything about the gcc version you're using.
The official toolchain for U-Boot is the DENX ELDK: http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK . I don't really think this is your issue, but when nothing works it may make sense to put yourself in a well known configuration.
Olimex has indeed, but that is a old version of uboot, the old ETHER driver and not the new. I inspected the initialization code on the ARM side, that was the same. The rest of te code is completely different, so spotting differences is difficult.
Ah, I understand. However, there must be a difference somewhere. I'm not sure about this board, but on the SAM boards a software reset has to be performed once the PHY address is configured to activate the PHY (look into at91sam9260.c). Maybe your board needs something equivalent ?
