I noticed at least one other recent case of this issue, and the 'solution' was to code in the mac address into the dts file - I tried that and it does work. However, what's a proper solution for passing a MAC address to the kernel from the latest u-boot?
Which property in the DTS did you update? Also, you need to make sure that CONFIG_HAS_ETH2 is defined in your U-Boot board header file.
I'm using the same header file in 1.3.0RC3 and the latest 85xx git repo, which has:
#define CONFIG_TSEC_ENET 1 /* tsec ethernet support */
/* The mac addresses for all ethernet interface */ #if defined(CONFIG_TSEC_ENET) #define CONFIG_HAS_ETH0 #define CONFIG_ETHADDR 00:E0:0C:00:00:FD #define CONFIG_HAS_ETH1 #define CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 00:E0:0C:00:01:FD #define CONFIG_HAS_ETH2 #define CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 00:E0:0C:00:02:FD #define CONFIG_HAS_ETH3 #define CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 00:E0:0C:00:03:FD #endif
To get eth2 to link, I put this MAC in my device tree:
local-mac-address = [ 00 E0 0C 00 02 FD ];
Otherwise the kernel just sees a series of zero's . Is this change on purpose and I missed what I need to do now?
