Hallo!

My IXDP425 board hasn't EEPROM on Ethernet(Intel NPE), but RedBoot use it.
Maybe already exist CVS version of redboot with support of no-EEPROM ethernet devices?
Or i should just cut EEPROM working code from source?





No need to edit the code. RedBoot can be configured to use either an EEPROM or flash to hold the mac address. Add this to the redboot .ecm file you import with ecosconfig:


cdl_option CYGSEM_DEVS_ETH_ARM_IXDP425_EEPROM { user_value 0 }

This will configure RedBoot to use the flash rather than an EEPROM.

Thanks!
But EEPROM used by redboot only for store MAC-address?
