Hi All,
 I have ported Linux kernel version 2.4.24 on MPC8266 based customized
Board, having LXT971 ethernet chip.
The root file system is JFFS2 which i have made using mkfs.jffs2 utility
which comes along with the ELDK 3.0
In the kernel code i checked that there is support for the LXT971 chip, but
even after enabling all the network related funcuntionalities in the linux
kernel configuration, I am either not able to ping from the board to any
machine on the network, nor from the any other machine to the board.
The board is able to ping itself.
Can some one please throw some light why the board is not able to ping any
other machine.
 Regards
Apoorv Sangal

If u-boot is the boot loader of your board (the stuff running on it 
--before-- we see this:

loaded at:     00400000 005153B4
board data at: 00513130 00513334
relocated to:  00405090 00405294
zimage at:     00405A85 00512099
avail ram:     00516000 08000000

Linux/PPC load: rw console=ttyS0 root=/dev/nfs ip=on

Uncompressing Linux...done)


Then I would say NO




If u-boot is this exact stuff (the files in arch/ppc/boot/simple/... 
misc-embedded.c for example)

then, yes, this is somehow better.
But (tell me if I'm wrong) this is not really Linux code, and this 
should be done by Linux.


What I think should be good also is the platform files 
(arch/ppc/platforms/....) for this is the place where all the board 
dependant stuff stays.




Maybe I'm completely mistaken.
Feel free to tell me (and explain please !)

Have fun.
