However, the TSE MAC driver is not ready yet, and the ethernet won't work.

Hi,

I have seen there words on the Wiki about the uclinux:

"However, the TSE MAC driver is not ready yet, and the ethernet won't work."

I use NEEK.So that means I can not use TCP/IP stack to do the communication using ethernet if I use uclinux OS from the Wiki? Right?

If so,I think my only choice is to use uclinux from System Level Solution cor if I want to do the ethernet communication.

Can anyone tell me ?:confused:

    In the Wiki there is a binary uCLinux demo (ZIP file), loadable from the SD-Card by the NEEKs "Altera Loader"s menu, that uses TCP/IP over Ethernet (on the "Open Ethernet" driver).

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.

    So you mean that the ethernet can be used on NEEK in the uclinux system provided by the wiki?

    Hope somebody to update the instruction words.

    Hi,

    Thank you.I noticed that the words telling that the ethernet can not work are in the first step called "tryouruclinux". So I think the ethernet will work if I compile and build the kernel. Sorry for my previous carelessness.:D
