We were looking at adding POST support to our platform, and was digging into POST/ether.c (which seems to be specific for Serial Communication Controllers (SCC).
Indeed. The current code is mostly 8xx (and a little 82xx).
I was wondering if it would be better to add the loopback control into the specific ethernet driver? in ./drivers?
Maybe. But this is only part of the issues. Additionally, post/ should be cleaned up, and changed to deal with different processors.
Or what way would you prefer to add testing of other architectures ethernet / uart / usb peripherals?
Please see previous discussion on the mailing list.
