Hi,
I'm using a Sandpoint board with
X3 (MPC8245) unity CPU card. Sandpoint does not have an ethernet
controller.And since I have a PCI DECchip 21x4x Ethernet controller I want
to use it with sandpoint board. I'm able to use this ethernet card with my
linux image, it works fine, but I couldn't add this to u-boot image. So I'm
dowloading the linux image by using "loadb" or "loads" commands via serial
channel and it tooks to much time. You can see my previous tryings below.
Is there anybody who has used
this ethernet controller with Sandpoint? Or do you have any suggestion for my
problem.
Regards
yio
P.S:
Below, there are previous
messages between I and Wolfgang. Since
I was not aware of using this list I have sent e-mails directly to Wolfgang.
Thanks to him for his recommendations about the problem and warnings about
using this list.

Ummm... so why aren't you using it in this case?
For
future messages please use the mailing list.

Maybe I was not clear enough. "CFG_CMD_NET" is not
a #define you
should set yourself; you
should make sure that "CFG_CMD_NET" is
included (i. e.
used) in your definition of the
CONFIG_COMMANDS
definition.

sorry, I'm afraid I cannot
help. I don;t have any Tulip based network
card here, so I cannot test this
myself. Please ask on the mailing
list.
Best

Can you help
You are wrong. The Tulip chip is supported.
See
drivers/dc2114x.*

Enable CFG_CMD_NET and CONFIG_TULIP
and CONFIG_NET_MULTI in your
board
configuration.

You could also use loadb which is much faster.
But of course not as
fast as Ethernet :-)

The U-Boot page should have told
you that the preferred communication
channel is through the u-0boot-users
mailing list.
