Honored ContributorHi all,
Can someone tell me the procedure to build u-boot for owner niosII board? I need u-boot to use it in Altera niosII development kit CycloeII edition and owner design CycloneII board. Thanks in advance.
Honored ContributorHi posix6973,
> The NET seems can ping out only Correct. u-boot does not respond to pings. > when issue ping command the dm9000 LINKACT# pin light up and light off after executed command Correct. Each time a network operation is performed, the MAC/PHY is initialized, the operation is performed, then the device is shut down. > then the Ethernet is broken so I can not ping it form outside. The Ethernet is not broken at all, u-boot does not respond to a ping. Remember, u-boot is a boot loader and monitor. It has many features that serve two main purposes: (1) hardware initialization/testing and (2) loading and executing a kernel. To perform basic testing on your ethernet device you can use ping, bootp, dhcp, tftpboot, nfs etc. from the u-boot command line. And all of the network commands support booting a kernel via the network -- anything beyond testing/loading is outside the scope of u-boot -- which is why u-boot supports "standalone" applications. > Would you please help me to patch the dm9000x.c file? Sure. But first review the main README on how to submit patches and the following: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.p...&forum_id=12898 (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7969201&forum_id=12898) Then I'll be glad to help if you have any problems. Best Regards, --Scott
