[ECOS] Using a different network driver

[ECOS] Using a different network driver

[Antoine Zen-Ruffinen]

Hi !

I am new to eCos. I want to use it on a soekris board
(www.soekris.com), a single board PC, that have 3 NS DP83816 NIC. I
have seen that a compatible driver for that NIC already exist in eCos
tree.

 My question is how to incorporate it in my eCos configuration ?

I tried with the configtool, but it allways tell me "Add or remove
hardware package by selecting a new hardware template".

Tank's

You cannot add new hardware to an existing target. You need to add a
new target. Take a look at the pc_i82544 target as an example. You
need to replace the two CYGPKG_DEVS_ETH_* lines. One should be the
generic DP83816 package. The other will be a new package you need to
add.

You need a hardware dependent package which configures the hardware
independent DP83816 driver for your specific board. Take a look at
/devs/eth/powerpc/moab/current/ for an example of this.

After a lot of pain, it work !!! Tank you for help Andrew !! That is
the second time you help me on my eCos project.  If you like I will
pay you a beer, when I will come back to Switzerland (I am now in
Sweden).

If I recompile redboot with my new target, will I have network support
in it ? because downloading code trough the serial is very slow.

It should have, when you enable networking in RedBoot.

Start with your current RedBoot configuration.  Then:
  # ecosconfig add eth_drivers
  # ecosconfig tree
  # make
