Dear ALLL I have a DE2 board. Now I want to use the DM9000. I want to know how to connect it to NIOSII . Beacuse I find the uClinux have a drive form DM9000. How to do it when I use the drive in hardware.pls help me !

Thanks hippo Now I find the SOPC builder have the DM9000 interface ,The next information is my hardward,the name is dm9000, so I will not change the name in dm9000.c in driver/net/ niosii DM9000 Addr[2]------------------------->[cmd] [rd_n]---------------------------->[rd_n] [cs_n]---------------------------->[cs_n] [wr_n]---------------------------->[wr_n] [irq]<------------------------------[irq] but I got the next errors . <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- NET: Registered protocol family 16 Initializing Cryptographic API NIOS serial driver version 0.0 ttyS0 (irq = 1) is a builtin NIOS UART io scheduler noop registered io scheduler deadline registered dmfe_probe:eth0, 50000 Khz Nios dmfe_probe: eth0 VID: 0x2B2A2928 .ne. 0x90000A46 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 512 buckets, 4Kbytes TCP established hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) TCP bind hash table entries: 512 (order: -1, 2048 bytes) TCP: Hash tables configured (established 512 bind 512) IPv4 over IPv4 tunneling driver GRE over IPv4 tunneling driver NET: Registered protocol family 17 Freeing unused kernel memory: 360k freed (0x119e000 - 0x11f7000) init started: BusyBox v1.1.1-pre0 (2006.11.01-13:08+0000) multi-call binary BusyBox v1.1.1-pre0 (2006.11.01-13:08+0000) Built-in shell (msh) Enter &#39;help&#39; for a list of built-in commands.# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.30 netmask 255.255.255.0 oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xd0 DMA per-cpu: cpu 0 hot: low 2, high 6, batch 1 cpu 0 cold: low 0, high 2, batch 1 Normal per-cpu: empty HighMem per-cpu: empty Free pages: 1196kB (0kB HighMem) Active:159 inactive:156 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:299 slab:934 mapped: 0 pagetables:0 DMA free:1196kB min:360kB low:448kB high:540kB active:636kB inactive:624kB prese nt:8192kB pages_scanned:1445 all_unreclaimable? yes lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 Normal free:0kB min:0kB low:0kB high:0kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:0kB pag es_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 HighMem free:0kB min:128kB low:160kB high:192kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present: 0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 DMA: 1*4kB 1*8kB 0*16kB 1*32kB 0*64kB 1*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 1*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 1196kB Normal: empty HighMem: empty Out of Memory: Killed process 40 (sh).[/b] --- Quote End --- why?

Please check nios wiki, http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...s/tryoutuclinux (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/tryoutuclinux) On the DE2 support disc, or you can download from Altera, there is a project with DM9000 enabled. DE2_System/DE2_demonstrations/DE2_NET/ You should check this first. It may be differnet from the one in SOPC builder. ? In your boot message, it does not get the correct port address?

Hello, I was going through the Ethrnet page and the new config for the DM9000 on de2 is quite different from the one on the wiki. Instead of changing the dm9000x.c file I had to change the setup.c file in /kernel. Also could any one please make it clear as to how one needs to add the hw_addr for DE2 board as I have to set the MAC address once the board is up and running and then go ifconfig up. to get any connection.

I shall update it later. The DM9000A io address hook up for DE2 was fixed in later patches. Please remove old patch and add newer patch to find out if it can work without modify arch/nios2nommu/kernel/setup.c . So, after all, you can set hw addr ? can bring up the DM9000 eth, ? can set static ip ? If you want to add these initialization to rc, so that it will run after boot. then the file is vendors/Altera/nios2nommu/rc . add these commands to it.

did you check the design guide or layout guide of dm9000a?
the layout of tx rx pairs are critical.
did you use the same phy transformer?

I'm having a very similar problem with my DE2 board.. it sends ARP packets, and my host pc responds to them, but I don't think the board understands the response because it sends another broadcast right away. This happens three times after every ping command given to the DE2 board. It has a static IP and is connected by crossover cable to the host pc and uses the DE2_NET example.

How else can I test it? Thanks in advance http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
