[U-Boot-Users] [patch #9/11] VLAN/CDP networking support.

[U-Boot-Users] [patch #9/11] VLAN/CDP networking support.

[Pantelis Antoniou]

Hello

The following patch adds networking support for
VLANs (802.1q), and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol).

You control the sending/receiving of VLAN tagged packets
with the "vlan" environmental variable.
When not present no tagging is performed.

CDP is used mainly to discover your device VLAN(s)
when connected to a Cisco switch.

Note: In order to enable CDP support a small change
is needed in the networking driver.
You have to enable reception of the 01:00:0c:cc:cc:cc
mac address which is a multicast address.

Various defines control CDP; see the README section.

Regards

Pantelis

Unfortunately this patch breaks supoort for ARM boards:

Configuring for assabet board...
net.c:135: initializer element is not constant
net.c:136: initializer element is not constant
net.c: In function `NetLoop':
net.c:282: warning: implicit declaration of function `eth_set_current'
net.c: In function `NetStartAgain':
net.c:525: warning: unused variable `gd'
net/libnet.a(net.o): In function `NetLoop':
/home/wd/u-boot/net/net.c:282: undefined reference to `eth_set_current'


Can you please provide a patch to clean this up?

Best regards,

Digital computers are themselves more complex than most things people
build: They have very large numbers of states. This makes conceiving,
describing, and testing them hard. Software systems  have  orders-of-
magnitude more states than computers do.           - Fred Brooks, Jr.

Hmm.

Let me download the CVS version and try again.
My version passed the MAKEALL tests...

[U-Boot-Users] Is smc91111 driver need to be ported?

[ganapathi]

Hi,
    I am porting u-boot-1.1.0 for the blackfin proceor. Anybody is using the
smc driver present in the drivers directory
    It seems incomplete to use in u-boot. because the driver is not hooked
with upper eth layer(eth.c).

    Is it need to be ported ?

Thanks and Regards

Dear Pantelis,

net/net.c can't be compiled with my poor mipsel-linux-gcc 2.96.
The message is :
mipsel-linux-gcc -g  -Os   -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0xBFC00000 
-I/home/mkomiya/u-boot.mk/include -fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isystem 
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-linux/2.96-sdelinuxmips-030324/include -pipe  -DCONFIG_MIPS 
-D__MIPS__ -mcpu=r4600 -EL -mabicalls -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -c -o net.o net.c
net.c:135: initializer element is not constant
net.c:136: initializer element is not constant

It seems to be falled in the loop by
ushort NetOurVLAN = ntohs(-1)
ushort NetOurNativeVLAN = htons(-1)

Could you intialize these variables in the program ?

Best regards,

Masami Komiya

I think you must be missing something. A quick check shows:

	-> grep CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC91111 include/configs/*
	include/configs/ADNPESC1.h:#define      CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC91111                  /* Using SMC91c111   */

I don't think so. It seems that at least 10 different boards  already
use this driver without problems.
