Manuel,

we do this with conditional boot depending on environment settings, e.g. "netboot" yes or no.

If netboot==no then omit bootp/dhcp completely and proceed to boot from flash. Otherwise try netboot and stick to the timeout. Autoneg can indeed take some time ...

This can easily be done with a bootscript, i.e. bootcmd=autoscr valid_addr.

regards, Andre

Hello,

I have a problem concnering the LAN Connection Timeout.

I uses a Teridian Phy connected via MII Interface to an AT91SAM9260. All works fine. If I boot my system uboot comes up and detects the connection very quickly, so that my system boots fast. But if I have no lan cable plugged in when I boot my system, it takes some seconds to detect that no lan cable is plugged in and a timeout occurs.

How could I speed up my booting sequence if there is no lan cable plugged in ?

Thank you very much

Best regards

Manuel Sahm

Which paramter is for the "lan connection timeout" ?

Try to decrease CFG_MACB_AUTONEG_TIMEOUT in drivers/net/macb.c to 500000 or so. It is currently 5000000 which results in 5 sec. timeout in macb_phy_init() and also in macb_phy_reset().
