Hello,
at current git all AT91RM9200 based boards have the "Ethernet driver is deprecated" warning. I have read anywhere, there are plans to join the AT91 and the 9200 driver. Is there someone work on this or will AT91RM9200 driver ported in soon.
I don't have any familiarity with either of these, but a cursory inspection shows me that most AT91 chips use the MACB driver. I don't see much in similarities between the MACB driver and the 9200 driver, so don't know if joining them makes sense. I don't remember any discussion about this - can you send a pointer?
Is there a chance that you can port the AT91RM9200 driver to the NET_MULTI API? Mike Frysinger just submitted a document detailing the process (doc/README.drivers.eth) I've done this with several drivers and it's not very hard.
We wanted to publish a new board without the deprecated drivers
Best regards
