fec on 8260

fec on 8260

[Dayton, Dean]

Has anyone tried using the FEC as an ethernet controller on the 8260? If so,
is there source available?

I'm assuming that it wouldn't be a huge undertaking to port the 860 FEC
driver, but if someone has already done it ...;-)

Thanks

I'm working on the FCC driver right now.  I made a huge change to the
8xx FEC driver to generically support different PHYs, so I thought I
would get that one working again and then use it as a baseline for the
8260 FCC.  Of course, this also means I have to make 2.4.xx work
correctly on the 8xx so I can test it.  I may just bail on that and
get the more simple FCC driver running.  What PHYs are people using?

I'll post a message as soon as I get something close to working.

I'm using the MII interface on an EST SBC8260 board. I have a Canary
CTX-1170 100Base-TX transceiver that connects to the MII header.

We are using the National DP83843. It worked with no changes in the fec driver.

Ralf,

Are you saying that you used the 860 fec driver on a 8260 based system with
no changes?
