[U-Boot] MPC8xxx ethernet not up

[U-Boot] MPC8xxx ethernet not up

[saugat mitra]

Hi

I am trying to boot a MPC8XXX based board using uboot version 1.1.3.
I am able to get the serial console up. But when I try to ping it
gives me a time out error.
On trying "mii info" and enabling debug messages I see that all the
mii read messages are
returning 0xffff. Could any one please suggest me steps to debug.

Thanks & Regards
Saugat.

make yourself a favour and upgrade to last U-Boot version. Your version
is so ancient that is impossible to find which is the fix for you. And
on current release, ethernet works well on mpc8xx (tested on a TQ
tqm860L board).

Best regards,
