I am trying to enable the Ethernet Interface on the board. The ethernet controller is SMC91111. After U-boot boots, i set the environment variables ethaddr to an ethernet address generated using gen_eth_addr and set netdev to eth0. After saving the environment i try to issue DHCP command so that i can get the IP addr from DHCP server. but when i issue DHCP command i get the output as data abort and the board is reset. When i tried to debug this, i found that before calling eth_init () eth_halt() is called. Within eth_halt() is call to smc_close(),which has a call to smc_shutdown(). Within smc_shutdown initially there is a call smc_select_bank(2). Upon calling this macro the boot loader sends data abort and resets the board. The GPIO's are properly configured.
The same driver for SMC91111 works on the pxa255- Accelent board.
What could be wrong in this case.
Please help me resolve the issue.
