Hi Xavier,
Just wrapped up efforts to experiment with hard TEMAC support in 2.4 kernel
( previev kit from Montavista ). DENX 2.4 distro should not be different.
Here are my experience with ML403 board:
Configure kernel for only eth driver offered for ML300 / ML403 ( soft EMAC -
10/100Mb on-chip eth ). After updating kernel tree with the BSP using xilinx
patch script for ML403, hard TEMAC driver will end up in
/drivers/net/xilinx_gige ( supported soft MAC driver ends up in
/drivers/net/xilinx_enet ).
>From here 2 options:
a) rename xilinx_gige folder to xilinx_enet and build kernel
b) modify config.in script for kernel network configuration and makefile for
building net driver by addidng new GIGE option
>From my undersanding part of driver code for gige ( adapter.c ) is PHY
specific and supports Marvel's PHY on ML403 board. Never looked more what it
does ( phy interface should be common to all PHYs ? ) but if you use
different PHY maybe you'll have to do some coding here ?!
( look for the comments in the driver )
Oh yes, my tree was missing gmii.h file ( found it throuh google - don't
remember from where - first google hit :) !
Did some test measurement and comparison with soft EMAC against hard TEMAC
+ PLB TEMAC and defualt SG DMA mode (3):
Amazing performance increase: close to 100% on tcp ( netperf and netio shows
over 11000KB/s for max packet size of 32K on 100Mb link )
Hope this helps !
Goran,
Waterloo,Canada
