[U-Boot-Users] eth interface (motfec) is not woring with u-boot 1.1.3

[vijay vijay]

Hi,

I am using Denx u-boot 1.1.3 for MPC 870 board.
I ported it for our board with mpc870 processor and I got the u-boot (->) prompt.

UART interface is working finr but Ethernet interface (motfec) is not up yet.

When I try from the u-boot prompt, I am getting following message.
------------------------------------------------------
TX timeout

Following board specific parameters are defined in the /include/configs/tc870.h file

Any suggestion what is going wrong here
If any thing is missing please let me know 

Thanks

There are at least two problems with your U-Boot 1.1.3 configuration:

> #define CONFIG_ETHADDR        OO:11:22:33:44:55    /* board MAC addr
*/

The first byte "OO" is two capital Os; perhaps "00" was the intended
first byte of the MAC address?:

#define CONFIG_ETHADDR        00:11:22:33:44:55    /* board MAC addr
*/

> #define CONFIG_IPADDR        10:10:10:2            /* board IP addr
*/ 

The bytes of a v4 IP number must be separated by "." (not ":"):

#define CONFIG_IPADDR        10.10.10.2            /* board IP addr
*/

Other than the above two suggestions, please try using a U-Boot version
more current than 1.1.3, such as 1.3.x.

Sincerely,

Ken Fuchs

And of course even 00:11:22:33:44:55 is not a legal MAC address and
MUST NOT BE USED. Please see the FAQ.

Actually, 00:11:22:33:44:55 is a perfectly legal (universally
administered) MAC address:

http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml

Just enter 00-11-22 for the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier).

In any case, 00-11-22-33-44-55 is an often used as a
_locally administered_ MAC address.  Such usage is definitely
illegal as can be seen by referring to:

http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/WhereCanIGetAValidMACAddress

No doubt this is what you were referring to when you said
"00:11:22:33:44:55 is not a legal MAC address".  A better,
easy to remember locally administered MAC address would be
02:03:04:05:06:07.

You are of course right - I was too terse. Thanks for adding the
missing details.

ACK - or use tools/genethaddr to generate a random locally
administered MAC address.
