[U-Boot-Users] MCF5249 support in u-boot

[William Yeung]

Hello,
 
I just started using u-boot on a Coldfire MCF5249 board. Could anyone let me know how to choose the Ethernet driver in the u-boot configuration?
 
Also, is there anyone who has used the u-boot 1.1.2 successfully in a Coldfire MCF5249 board?
 
Thanks.
Kit.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the MCF5249 has ethernet 
build in. So you would have to connect an external ethernet controller.

Yes, I did. You can find the "TASREG" board which uses the MCF5249 in the 
current CVS (please don't use 1.1.2, use current cvs).

Best regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

I used the external ethernet controller RTL8019 in my MCF5249 board. How can I choose the Ethernet driver for my board?
 
Thanks for your help.

What do you mean with choose? You seem to have chosen already: the RTL8019. So 
no choice left. :-(

You probably mean how to integrate the driver for the RTL8019 into your U-Boot 
image. After scanning through the source code I found that a driver for the 
RTL8019 exists (drivers/rtl8019.c). But this driver does not seem to be used 
by any board in the current cvs. So try to integrate the current driver into 
your U-Boot port and fix possible problems.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hmmm. After a short look into the source files it seems to me, that you have 
to set the define "CONFIG_DRIVER_RTL8019" in your board config file and look 
what happens (compiler warnings/errors). I assume that you already have a 
working port for your MCF5249 board, right?

By the way: Please keep the mailing list Cc:ed.
