DINK32 R13.1 on Sandpoint X2

DINK32 R13.1 on Sandpoint X2

[Yuxiao Xi]

Hi,all,
    Now I'm working on a Motorola Sandpoint X2 board with ppc8240.
I use DINK32 r13.1 to boot my linux kernel image.
    From DINK32 r13.1 user manual,I know that DINK32 r13.1 supports
ethernet card Realtek 8139,but after these steps:
       DINK32[MPC8240] {7} >>ni -i
        some configrations......

       DINK32[MPC7455] {8} >>ni
       NETWORK INFORMATION
            PCI CARD
            Type 8139/10EC on slot 16
            SETTINGS
            SERVER(TFTP) : 10. 18.15.27
            GATEWAY : 10. 18.15.254
            NETMASK : 255.255.255. 0
            DHCP : 0. 0. 0. 0
            CLIENT(DINK) : 10. 18.15.201
            DHCP: Disabled
            SESSION TIMEOUT: Never

 Then I reset the system,but the Tealtek 8139 seems not to work correctly!:(
 I ping the board from my host computer with OS Redhat linux 9.0,but I can't
 get any response!
 Can anyone help me?

What I would suggest is that instead of using the ethernet card support,
you use the serial support still.  DINK32 r13.0.0 and newer support
115200 baud, so loading a kernel via serial is now much less painful
than it used to be.

Hi,Tom,
     From the mailing lists,I know that someone use DINK32's tftp
download function to download his image successfully on a Sandpoint X3
board.Is there any important differences between Sandpoint X3 and X2
board so that I can not use the DINK32's tftp function on X2 board?

I do not know, as I don't have the proper ethernet card.  I do know
however, that I don't really care to find one now as I can upload a
kernel quick enough via serial that it doesn't really slow me down.
And, while not related to your problem, tftp isn't supported on 75x
CPUs, which is what I have at the moment.

We have an 8139 and have successfully downloaded and run a kernel with
DINK version 13.1.1.  I didn't do it but the instructions sent from the
person who did are:

    To download via the network, DINK uses fixed IP
    address and Realtek8139 NIC. The steps are:

    1. do "ppr" verify NIC card has been identified vendor/device ID as
    10EC/8139
    2. do "env IO=COM1:9600@100, Then "reset".
    3. do "ni -i " to set up your network parameters.  For example:

     DINK32[MPC7457] {1} >>ni
     NETWORK INFORMATION
       PCI CARD
         Type 8139/10EC on slot 16

       SETTINGS
         SERVER(TFTP) : 192.168.  1.  1
         GATEWAY      : 192.168.  1.  1
         NETMASK      : 255.255.255.  0
         DHCP         : 192.168.  1.  1
         CLIENT(DINK) : 192.168.  1.  7

       DHCP: Disabled
       SESSION TIMEOUT: Never

    4. set up you tftp server at host side
    5. The download command is "dl -nw -b -o800000 -fzImage.sandpoint"
    6. "go 810000"

You can change IP addr, image name, to fit your setup.

As far as differences in the X2 vs. X3, yes there are important
differences.  Does DINK v13.1.1 run successfully & download via the
network successfully on an X2?  I don't know, you'll have to figure that
out for yourself or talk to Motorola.

hi,
    I succeed in downloading my linux kernel image using DINK32 r13.1
tftp function to my Sandpoint X2 board. Before I used ftp servers which
need user name and password and I could not download anything.Today I
use Cisco ftp server which needs nothing and I succeed.

    But there are another question yet: when I use command 'ping', to
ping my target from the host,I get info:destination address unreachable
to ping my host from the target£¬It's OK why?

  You cannot 'ping' DINK as the stack is not persistent.
It is only usable when networking tasks are being
performed.  You might be able to ping it while doing a
tftp, but I wouldn't count on it.

  Use Linux if you want ping working.
