Re: PCI Ethernet card


Hi Eric/Mike,

The driver file (rltk8139.tgz) that I have is of size 17,680 bytes. Is it the revision 3? How do I know the revision?

Mike: Thanks for the summary. Did you had to make any change for the driver to work in Polled Mode since it is redboot?

Thanks,
Raghu

Hi Mike/Eric,

I've a custom board based on XScale 255, PCI Bridge IT8152 and RTL8139. I'm in the process of porting RedBoot to this platform. I would really appreciate if you could share the RTL8139 controller driver with me.

Mike: Since you already ported Eric's driver to Redboot, could you please share the driver code you ported with me? This would cut short my development time and your driver would be validated on one more platform. I'll keep you folks updated on the status.


Eric?s driver code works on redboot without any change. I did not modify his code.


Did the following:
1. Extracted the rltk8139.tgz <revision 3>
2. Copied the files under devs/eth/i386/pc/rltk8139/ into devs/eth/mips/atlas/rltk8139/
3. Changed all reference made to i386 to atlas <my MIPS platform name>
4. Included the following #define in devs_eth_atlas_pc_rltk8139.inl to solve the cache coherency issue:
#define CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_RLTK_8139_SOFTWARE_CACHE_COHERENCY
5. Included this package in ecos.db & created a new redboot_rltk.ecm <that included this package instead of the existing onboard one>.


I rebuilt redboot after this & it worked fine.

Cheers,
-Mike.
