Hi all,
I've been working on a port for the Freescale/LogicPD eval board with the ColdFire MCF5329 microcontroller. I've got it up and running from flash and all. No network yet - and I'm not sure how to proceed there. It seems from an example or two that U-Boot network drivers are usually fairly simple. Is it true that a simple polled driver is sufficient?
Yes it is sufficient. I have actually quite recently made a U-Boot port to the Cobra5329-board, working with flash, serial and ethernet network.. The whole package is not quite in a submittable state right now, but I will do it as soon as I find the time.
I'd like to get Ethernet working, but I have more pressing concerns right now, so I can't really spend a lot of time on it. However, I'd be interested in working with others, and certainly would welcome a bit more guidance; I haven't really found much in the way of an "Ethernet Driver How-To", and I've looked. Of course, I could have missed it...
I could assemble a patch with the ethernet stuff pretty soon.
Best regards, Thomas
