RE: [ECOS] ixp42x NPE networking build issue.

[vijay.peshkar]

Mark,

 I picked up if_npe.c from Jerzy's mail as am not seeing it in any other
place/CVS.
Also, have downloaded the microcode(IxNpeMicrocode.c) from the link you
have suggested below.

But the epk you mentioned contains only the RedBoot Pre-Built Binaries
(includes NPE Ethernet support).
Since my aim is to get the NPE eth working on my regular image, this
would not be helpful.

Now,the only missing link in my puzzle is the access library.
Is there any ecos access library (which intel must have ported for its
ecos redboot binary) that can be used or I have to port the whole access
library to ecos?.

Regards,
Vijay

After registration/login you can get to the NPE driver code (eCos .epk)
and microcode. The same driver works for all IXP4xx family. It is a
RedBoot-only driver, but I may have an opportunity to add interrupt
support (Jerzy did this for an earlier version) to the official Intel
package in the near future.

The link for "RedBoot 2.02 NPE support in an eCos Package File (epk)"
will download "Redboot-v2_02-epk.zip" which unzips into npe-2.02.epk.
This contains the access library code sources with RedBoot support.
Add it to your source tree with something like:

  % ecosadmin.tcl add npe-2.02.epk

This file is generated during the build. It is not part of the sources.
If you properly configure things to include the NPE packages, that
file will get generated in <builddir>/install/include/pkgconf.

Hi Mark & Jerzy,
                          I am trying to build the ram based image with npe
support, now i am able to suceed by compiling the redboot related acess
library which intel supplies, but when i call the api which starts the
downloading of microcode and start functioning
                   ixNpeDlNpeInitAndStart(IX_NPEDL_NPEIMAGE_NPEB_ETH);
he show the error message as [warning] Warning: the NPE B component you
specified does not exist
he is searching the microcode for NPE B at location 0x01000200 ,where that
Macro was defined to.
But since i compiled this NPE B microcode is at different location. are
there any compiler options such that we can specify the binary should be
loaded at specific location ?
  are there any other mechanism to locate the microcode for NPE B and
download that into npe.

Thanks for your earlier repley, with that only i could proceed upto here.

Thanks & regards,
Sumanth.

Are you sure? I thought those macros (IX_NPEDL_NPEIMAGE_NPEB_ETH et al)
were bitfields indicating the functionality of the microcode, not the
microcode's address. The CSR library code looks for the microcode in 
the IxNpeMicrocode_array[] array.

RE: [ECOS] ixp42x NPE networking build issue.

[vijay.peshkar]

Hi Jerzy,

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that such a driver already exists
For non-interrupt mode?. Am unable to locate it.

The intel site no longer maintains redboot for IXP425. Its all 2800 now.
And, even in this 2800's redboot, I guess I will have to extract the
same and
Port it to IXP425 and also to run in my non-redboot build?.

Another alternative am thinking of is to check if netbsd has a npe
driver.

Regards,
Vijay

No driver has been ported to Redboot - below it's mail from Mark Salter

Sorry, but I have had vacation.

I made some modification in Intel code ( very minor ) but without their
npe
driver can't be compiled.  
Regarding MAC address - I "ported" this driver to custom board with own
mac getting mechanism ( I have special function to do it) - please don't
suggest actual state of CONFIG_ESA - it is valid only for RedBoot.

Karel :  I assume that you need to add some defines like DEBUG ( I made
mistake add counter - variable i - and forgot to remove, this problem
appears only when DEBUG is define ) or NPE_USE_INTS ( initially I tried
to use suspended thread to pool dispatcherFunc() ) which are added to
cdl file.

jerzy

[ECOS] ixp42x NPE networking build issue.

[Karel Gardas]

Hello,

I'm experimenting with CVS eCos and trying to get it working for ixp42x 
board including NPE ethernet support. I've downloaded:

Redboot-v2_01-epk.zip
Redboot-v2_01-npe-microcode.zip

files from intel.com and installed them following their documentation. 
Unfortunately when I try to build ixdp425 with NPE Ethernet with `all' 
packages, I get this error message:

The code from Intel is only for RedBoot, not normal eCos applications.

Search the archive, there have been a few people who have added the
extra code needed for using the ethernet in normal applications.

jerzy.dyrda@kontron.pl got the older NPE driver working as a full eCos
driver. But the 2_01 Intel code is a good bit different and I wasn't
able to include Jerzy's work due to time constraints in the contract
that paid for the RedBoot-only port.

Yes, it is hence my question.

Thanks to you both Mark and Andrew! The only older version available on 
the intel website seems to be 1.94, I hope this is what Jerzy used and 
which will also do the job for me.

Thanks!

FYI: adding npe-1.4.epk to the current CVS fails with:

silence:/usr/local/src/cvs/ecos/ecos/packages$ ./ecosadmin.tcl add /tmp/rebdoot/npe-1.4.epk
ecosadmin error: extracting pkgadd.db:
tar: Read 6144 bytes from -
silence:/usr/local/src/cvs/ecos/ecos/packages$

so it seems manual "merge" will be needed...

6144 bytes looks wrong. tar should be reading around 1MB. Looks
like something is wrong with the .epk file. The file is really
a gzip'ed tarball, so "tar -ztf npe-1.4.epk" should give you a
list of the contents.

Yes, I think the intention of the error above is that ecosadmin "detects" 
error in pkgadd.db and exists making tar also exists. Anyway, the file is 
OK, I've decomplressed it and did
cat pkgadd.db >> <path>/ecos.db

I've also copied Jerzy's if_npe.c and now I'm fighting with various 
compilation issues. Generaly Intel code's complaining about RebBoot not 
enabled. Is RedBoot required for this to work? i.e. do I need to build my 
NPE-enabled eCos app including RedBoot just to be able to build it?

Thanks,
Karel

Now, you do not want RedBoot.

I also though that, but unfortunatelly whole code looks like expecting 
RedBoot... Now I'm fighting with this (RedBoot still not enabled in 
config), which seems to be MAC address "detection":

if_npe.c file from Jerzy:

     806     // Set MAC address
     807 #if defined(CYGSEM_NPE_REDBOOT_HOLDS_ESA)
     808     {
     809         char *cfgname = NULL;
     810 #if defined(CYGSEM_INTEL_NPE_USE_ETH0)
     811         if (p_npe == &npe_eth0_priv_data)
     812             cfgname = "npe_eth0_esa";
     813 #endif
     814 #if defined(CYGSEM_INTEL_NPE_USE_ETH1)
     815         if (p_npe == &npe_eth1_priv_data)
     816             cfgname = "npe_eth1_esa";
     817 #endif
     818
     819 #elif defined(CYGHAL_GET_NPE_ESA)
     820
     821         mac_ok = CYGACC_CALL_IF_FLASH_CFG_OP(CYGNUM_CALL_IF_FLASH_CFG_GET, cfgname,
     822                                              p_npe->mac_address, CONFIG_ESA);
     823     }


1. cfgname is used here, but it is not defined. It is defined in above 
#ifdef statement.

2. CONFIG_ESA is not defined. It seems CONFIG_ESA is defined to 6 when 
RedBoot is enabled

     824 #else
     825 #error No mechanism to get MAC address
     826 #endif
     827
     828     if (!mac_ok) {
     829 #ifdef DEBUG
     830                 diag_printf("Error getting MAC address.\n");
     831 #endif
     832                 return 0;
     833     }


here we test !mac_ok, but strangely when CYGSEM_NPE_REDBOOT_HOLDS_ESA is 
defined, then mac_ok is not set to true.

So now, I'm searching where is all these defines provided to find out more 
info about this issue.

Thanks,
Karel

Hmm, Jerzy may have had to make changes in the Intel code to get it all
to build. RedBoot isn't the solution.

Sorry, but I have had vacation.

I made some modification in Intel code ( very minor ) but without their npe 
driver can't be compiled.   
Regarding MAC address - I "ported" this driver to custom board with own mac 
getting mechanism ( I have special function to do it) - please don't suggest 
actual state of CONFIG_ESA - it is valid only for RedBoot.

Karel :  I assume that you need to add some defines like DEBUG ( I made 
mistake add counter - variable i - and forgot to remove, this problem appears 
only when DEBUG is define ) or NPE_USE_INTS 
( initially I tried to use suspended thread to pool dispatcherFunc() ) which 
are added to cdl file.

Best Regards,
jerzy
