We are in the process of porting ocotea-based U-Boot 1.1.1 to custom ppc440gx hardware. Everything is pretty much working except for the network interface. We can send out a ping but never process the reply. Ethereal does see both the ping and reply packets!
In debugging the network component of U-Boot, someone mentioned that a RTC might be required for proper operation. Unlike the OCOTEA board, we do NOT have a RTC. After examining all the READMEs and looking at source code, I don't see any dependency on a RTC. Can anyone confirm this?
Neither U-Boot nor Linux does need any RTC for network operation.
