hi Lerxt,i have ported uclinux on stratix II GX, for the TSE i utilized the Tripple speed Ethernet Driver (experimental) because the other driver (by SLS) don't work for me (i get kernel panic) i'm configuring the flash now to boot uclinux from it.

To configure flash, i have founded an interesting example on the nioswiki, the example is called "udp offload packet" and it use the same board we have.

we would do an application on uclinux that brings data from ddr and trasmits over ethernet possibly in Gbit mode (GMII or SGMII interface). In uclinux i think is only supported MII interface (10/100 Mbit/s).

Do you have any experience doing ethernet application on uclinux?
