[ECOS] redboot on ixp422

[Aric Wang]

Hello,

I'm trying to port redboot to our customized IXP422 board. I use the latest
CVS version eCos and npe-package 1.4 from Intel. I compile use GRG board
configuration. It runs up. 

The problem is it didn't find the ethernet ports and there's no "fis,
fconfig, ip_address" commands.

How to modify the npe package to make it run on IXP422? and why there's no
fis and fconfig command?

Thanks in advance.

Aric

Adding the flash package should make the fis commands appear.

How do you know that it didn't find the eth ports? Maybe it found the
ports, but the port initialization failed. You can define DEBUG in
if_npe.c to get some verbose error messages.

If fconfig and fis are missing, then you are not using the standard
GRG configuration which does enable flash.

You shouldn't have to modify it if you are using the GRG configuration.
If you are using a custom configuration, then you'd need to add
something similar to the devs/eth/arm/grg/npe package for your
platform.
