uClinux and StratixIII DSP kit with TSE Marvell 88E1111

Hello,

have you somebody uClinux running on StratixIII DSP kit with TSE Marvell 88E1111 ethernet chip ?

Everything looks ok, but don´t work ...

When i use the

/>ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:07:ed:ff:4a:d7

/>ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.234

/>ifconfig eth0 up

/>route add default gw 192.168.1.254

linux report - Trying 10/HALF - in this moment i don`t know what it does ?

After this i try ping to ip of my pc, it finish by request timeout (and tx led on board don`t blink).

I think, that the problem is in uClinux ethernet driver, because examples of webserver (on uC-OSII) work fine and simple socket server too.

Could you help me ?

Thank you very much.

    TRY 10/HALF, does it mean 10mb half duplex？

    I remember you can modify the network mode in the driver file,

    the directory may be .../linux.2.6.x/drivers/net/dm9ks.c

    I don't know whether I am right, coz I am new to it,too. Good luck.

    I suppose that TRY 10/HALF mean 10mb half duplex, but it doesn¨t connect eth0, because ping is unsuccesfull.

    I am not sure, what could i modify in driver file - for marvell 88e1111 the recommended driver is atse.c or altera_tse.c. And the first report error during boot linux....

    You can type" ipconfig" in the console to check whether eth0 is up.

    If there shows the information of eth0,then it's up.

    Also you can check the make menuconfig--> device driver--> networking part, whether you choose the right option, for example, in the Altera DE2 board , dm9000a is the correct choice ,but not dm9000, be careful, find more information about the network part online. Or you can hear the suggestion of the following forum friends...

    Hi Jan,

    I'm using the same development kit and can't boot uClinux whenever I include the TSE driver support.

    uClinux just freezes on "Uncompressing linux... ok, now booting the kernel".

    If I remove the TSE driver, it works ok.

    Have you any hint/suggestion to make it work?

    Thanks
