Hi Ken,Wolfgang
    Thanks for the Reply

I have updated the my configuration for the CONFIG_ETHADDR and CONFIG_IPADDR
But still getting same "TX timeout" error. from function
static int fec_send(struct eth_device* dev, volatile void *packet, int length) in defined in the cpu/mpc8xx/fec.c

-----
    while ((rtx->txbd[txIdx].cbd_sc & BD_ENET_TX_READY) && (j<TOUT_LOOP)) {
#if defined(CONFIG_ICU862)
        udelay(10);
#else
        udelay(100);
#endif
        j++;
    }
    if (j>=TOUT_LOOP) {
        printf("TX timeout..testing.\n");
    }
-----

When I am running VxWorks on the same board LEDs at RJ45 connector ( Ethernet interfaces) on the board are glowing but when u-boot is up
these LED are off.   It seems that ETH interface is not up yet.

Which board can be used as the reference board for the MPC870.

Thanks
Vijay

You are of course right - I was too terse. Thanks for adding the
missing details.

ACK - or use tools/genethaddr to generate a random locally
administered MAC address.

Best regards,
