Re: [Adeos-main] Problem with dm9000 and adeos-ipipe-2.6.34-blackfin-1.14-02.patch

[Javier Herrero <jherrero@domain.hid>]

  Hi, Philippe,

Thank you very much for your answer. I later found that the interrupt 
for the dm9000 was not defined OK in the platform data (it was somehow 
enabled both for rising edge and for high level). Surprisingly, this 
caused no problem without the adeos patch - this is the reason we did 
never caught that error before!

Once this was corrected, the system boots OK and the network works, but 
not OK - after a short while, two dm9000 driver messages 'status check 
fail: 70' appears. These messages indicate a problem in the reading of 
the dm9000 rx buffer. Once a status check of that kind appears, the 
driver disables automatically the dm9000 interrupts.

Since now the system boots, I can easily check /proc/interrupt. I will 
also check with the patch that you suggest, and come back with any news :)

Best regards,

Javier
