I'm working with the ixp425 based system. The u-boot is also working fine except I noticed that the network calls like eth_rx is blocking. That creates problem with the software that has to work with the U-boot because whole system is block and timing and stuff won't work.
I have to admit, that I don't really know what you mean. When U-Boot is doing ethernet communication, it is not doing anything else. Or am I missing something here?
Of course, timeout handling should work while doing ethernet traffic.
I know that some systems have non-blocking network functions (like the one where I took the software that I'm working on with ixp425) so is it possible to get them for ixp425 too? Can it be done by configuration or does it need some code changes?
Not sure what you talk about. But such changes will require code changes.
For reason beyond me I have to use base version 1.1.2, but I can take some stuff from newer version if it's required to get the non-blocking network commands to work.
Please try to use the current (to-of-git) version of U-Boot. What error message do you get?
