We do have FCC code running on u-boot with MPC8541E/55E. However at the moment they look really messy. If you want I can sent that to you in another email for a try.

Yes, please send your MPC8541E/55E FCC patch (even if it's "really messy") to 
the list. Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan

I just checked in a patch that fixes the remaining  problems.  Tested
with FEC on 8540, FCC1 and FCC2 on 8541 and 8555, and with FCC1, FCC2
and FCC3 on 8560.

Best regards,

I'm curious, what boards did you test the 8560 on? mpc8560ads, sbc8560,
and/or tqm8560?

Thanks,
Matthew

All tests were done on TQM85xx boards.

Hello All,

The problem has been solved. The only change necessary to put current
u-boot's mpc85xx FCC code to work on MPC8541E is the one that I
mentioned in my first email in this thread. The other one was a typical
case of "problem between the monitor and the chair", discovered by my
collegue Steffen: I was doing tftp to ram address 0x0 :|.

Thank you and Best Regards

MPC8541/55 have CPM lite compare to CPM for MPC8560. The dport ram size is different. To make the FCC code work for CPM lite, the dport RAM pointers (various pointers used by the RISC) need to be adjusted.

[U-Boot-Users] mpc85xx FCC ethernet

[Nuno João (Ext_NBS)]

Hello All,

I'm trying to use ethernet FCC on an board using MPC8541E, and
I'm having some problems. First of all, current code on u-boot
has a "known issue" that prevents it from working, which makes
me wonder if someone out there has ever used this code. You
can find further details at
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-embedded/2004-November/016050.html
but, basically, there was a parameter set to use a reserved area
in DPRAM. I changed CPM_FCC_SPECIAL_BASE fro 0xb000 to 0x9000 on
include/asm-ppc/cpm_85xx.h.
However, even with this change, I can only do tftp of small files
(a 1 to 3 tftp packets), otherwise u-boot hangs. If I stop it
afterward with a debugger, the CPU is executing in "no man's land".
My main question is: has anyone ever used FCC as ethernet on u-boot
for mpc85xx, and with what success?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Nuno

It works well for us on MPC8560, and also  the  FEC  on  the  MPC8540
works  fine. But the same code on the basicly the same hardware (just
different CPU) fails for MPC8541 and MPC8555.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
