Fabrice Gautier had some patches that were posted here before. Search the mail archives for those, however I believe they were against an older version of the repository. One consideration is that there is a possibility that Red Hat may be making some improvements to the x86 support (and we will certainly be including the work Fabrice did for PCI and RedBoot support). Some of the changes may be quite major - and will basically invalidate the current sources. However it is not clear at this time whether Red Hat will be doing this for certain :-/. The only way to guarantee support for you soon in the public sources would be to contact Red Hat sales about doing the port. If you are interested, contact ecos-info@redhat.com Jifl P.S.

Redhat. Com Thanks Jonathan, One of our engineers here did a quick port this afternoon that seems to be working ok. If you guys would like to have it, you're welcome to it, but it seems that Fabrice has probably already provided what's necessary. On another note, what is the status of the Intel 82559 ethernet driver for x86? Although it is not critical that I have it, the latest source does not build and I'm just curious if the next release will have full support. Although our final target is the IQ80310 Xscale, we're using the PC as a starting point (while we wait for our boards), and pc ethernet support would have been very helpful. Perhaps others might find it useful as well (maybe Red Hat could provide this without making major improvements to the x86 port).

Back in October or November the status was "It works for me" Now, I think this eth driver has been heavily reworked and i dn't think my patches will apply now. (There are patches at ftp://ftp.sigmadesigns.com/ecos , not sure if i posted some other patches on the list after) > Although our final target is the IQ80310 Xscale, we're using the PC as a > starting point (while we wait for our boards), and pc ethernet support would > have been very helpful.

Plus the existing software was written primarily for x86. A+ -- Fabrice Gautier gautier@email.enst.fr ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
