Evening (o;


Users of SMSC91C111 chips...


What is the performance of the driver inside u-boot?


Get around up to 2 secs delay to "ping alive" and
downloading a 2.5MByte binary with tftp takes up to 7 secs.


At least downliading works without errors on BF533 (o;

Yes, the SMSC91C111 has an very long auto-negotation cycle...

Wow, about 3 MBit -- that's good for the Chip. The SMSC91C111 self isn't 
fast enough. It has an non performant chip design (there are only 2x2KByte 
for FIFO). My latest tests with an PXA255 a/o NIOS + SMSC91C111 @ 32 bit bus 
results the same...



Best Regards,

Seems also tftp download is corrupting some packets...at least
uclinux for BF533 always ends in panic...but not with same
image loaded through VisualDSP...

Maybe should test first with loads (o;
