Hi Leonid,
Please note that the 20060309 patch (i.e. of March 9, 2006)
is for v2.x of PLB TEMAC; the one using SGDMA version 2 IOW.
The most recent v3.xx PLB TEMAC IP from EDK 8.2.02 uses SGDMA version 3.
Guess this is what made the kernel to crash when Glenn tried
the new design with the PLB TEMAC (step 3 in his email below).
The step 5 problem was probably due to XC4VFX12 engineering
samples (all ML403 use the engineering samples AFAIK)
could not work with HARD TEMAC IP version 3.00.b. For ML403 one need
to set the HARD TEMAC IP version to 3.00.a in xps. Then
TEMAC should work OK.
Thanks,
Andrei
