[ECOS] Redboot NPE No EEPROM support.

[ECOS] Redboot NPE No EEPROM support.

[bel rog]

Hello,

I am new to Ecos and Redboot.
I have a Custom board Ixp425 and NO EEPROM on the board.
and have added the below lines to the Redboot_ROM.ecm file to use the flash.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    cdl_option  CYGSEM_DEVS_ETH_ARM_IXDP425_EEPROM {
        user_value 0
    };    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I still have problem enabling the Network .

   1.  First I run    "fis init"
   2.  Next I run    "fconfig -i"
   3.  reset the board.

QUESTION:
   1. Why does the FLASH configuration checksum Error come back 
   2. Is there some other setting that i Need the Intel Network Driver
to come up.
   3. Does the new 2.01 Boot loader Support the Intel NPE drivers.
   4. Which version of Redboot is most stable one to Use with IXP425
Custom boards.

Actually, I was wrong about that being added to redboot_ROM.ecm. It
needs to be in a separate file. Then configure like this:

  % ecosconfig new ixdp425 redboot
  % ecosconfig import <path>/redboot_ROM.ecm
  % ecosconfig add intel_npe
  % ecosconfig add ixdp425_npe
  % ecosconfig import <path>/no_eeprom.ecm  <<  the cdl lines above.
  % ecosconfig tree

Great Mark,
Things look better now But I get this Error  as below

The Phy on my board is different and I find from the Intel docs and
source for NPE support
the Supported Phys for redboot on ixp4xx systems in file

packages/devs/eth/intel/npe/ethMii/v2_0/src/IxEthMii_p.h
/* supported PHYs */
#define IX_ETH_MII_LXT971_PHY_ID   0x001378E0
#define IX_ETH_MII_LXT972_PHY_ID   0x001378E2
#define IX_ETH_MII_LXT9785_PHY_ID  0x001378FF
#define IX_ETH_MII_LXT973_PHY_ID   0x00137A10
#define IX_ETH_MII_LXT973A3_PHY_ID   0x00137A11
#define IX_ETH_MII_KS8995_PHY_ID   0x00221450

I guess you have to extend the Intel-code:
- add "#define <YOUR_PHY_NAME> 0x00225521" to IxEthMii_p.h
- extent the code of each function where the standard PHYs are handled
   (e.g. ixEthMiiPhyScan, ixEthMiiPhyConfig, etc.)

Regards,
Stefan.
