Hello all,

I am having trouble getting my ethernet interfaces to work in U-Boot 1.1.4. I am using an STK8540 starterkit evaluation board from TQ Components. This board uses the TQM8540 board with an MPC8540 Freescale processor.

I cannot perform any network operations such as ping, tftp, or nfs. When I try to ping an ip address I receive the following: "Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete...... TIMEOUT !" I have tried using the u-boot image that shipped with the board as well as building my own u-boot image and the results are the same.

I am pretty confident that the MAC addresses are accurate b/c the addresses programmed on the board are the same as the sticker that is physically on the board.

I have included U-Boot output of the startup sequence, the ping command, the printenv command, and the mii info command below.

I have spent quite a bit of time searching for a solution, however I have been unsuccessful. So if anybody has a possible solution or can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

Michael Willis Applied Research Labs-University of Texas willis@arlut.utexas.edu
