Hello (o;
Hello,
This is my first time using U-boot and I have what I am sure is a newbie question. However, I am getting an error while attempting to access the archives at SourceForge, so I'll go ahead and post the following.
- On my Chameleon 405EP board, it appears the Ethernet
interface is off by default. While the board is running Linux, the Ethernet interface is *not* brought up by default -- rather, I must type 'ifconfig eth0 up'. This seems strange, but I can live with it. While the board is running U-boot, on the other hand, there does not appear to be a 'bring up Ethernet' command. I have MAC address and IP address set in environment variables, so what else do I need to do to get the board to answer a ping???
Are you able to tftp an image to your board in u-boot? Get's your ethernet controller initialized after reset? Using a strange/cheap hub/switch?
In Linux you have always some "ifconfig interface xxxx" stuff during boot...so adding an "up" statement wouldn't hurt...
- Probably the same as the first question -- assigning
a static IP address. In our lab, we do not use DHCP; addresses are statically assigned. Is setenv ipaddr {n.n.n.n} sufficient? If not, what else do I need to do?
setenv netmask x.x.x.x
and if you like:
setenv gatewayip x.x.x.x
- Is this standard U-boot behavior, or is it peculiar
to the Chameleon board? On the boards we manufacture (and in our firmware), Ethernet comes up by default.
Should be...
