Hi Kim,
I have a mpc8360emds eval board. The ee62ed patch (below) speeds up the start up (good), but seems to cause the board to hang on the *second* ethernet operation.
I can cause this by doing two pings in a row: the first ping initializes the network and completes successfully. The second ping hangs the board: it never completes. I cannot abort it with ^C. The only way out is to reset the board.
The same thing happens with two back-to-back tftp operations or a ping followed by a tftp operation.
If I back out the ee62ed patch (below), it "fixes" the problem.
I tried backing out some simple portions of the patch (added delays back in) with no success. I've given up chasing this for tonight. Any inspiration you can generate would be appreciated, I'll chase it some more tomorrow.
I verified rc2 on rev. 1.1 and 2.1 boards pings more than once.
can you provide more details about which u-boot version, what board rev you're on, what kind of connection you're using, speed, etc.?
Kim
OK, I confirmed it was operator error by doing a clean clone and rebuild of u-boot.
Sorry for the noise, gvb
