Glenn,
Make sure that hard_temac_v3_00_a is being used in your hardware design
for the ML403 board (BSB defaults to hard_temac_v3_00_b, which doesn't
work well for PHY communication on the ML403 board).
Then, take a look at my post on this mailing list from 2/8/07 where I
included a new adapter.c that has a bit better PHY address detection and
auto-negotiation. You may not need it, but you can see the changes.
Thanks,
Rick

Subject: Linux w/ML403 PLB TEMAC
I am trying to get Linux up on my ML403 board with the PLB TEMAC with
SGDMA. I am almost there and am not sure where to go now. I have seen
many posts on this from Robert, Ming, and Rick. Hopefully somebody know
the answer. Since I am going to detail how I got to where I am it can
be
somewhat of a guide for others (unless I am doing something really
wrong).
1. I started with Linux 2.6.19 from kernel.org. I copied over the
xparameters_ml40x.h file to xparameters_ml403.h in
arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/xparameters. Setting up my kernel configuration
and
downloading to the board everything worked OK. ** I did not have the
TEMAC
configured or as part of my PPC project.
2. Next I created a new PPC with the PLB TEMAC and applied all four
kernel
patches from PAULUS
(http://source.mvista.com/~ank/paulus-powerpc/20060309/). A couple of
the
files did not patch completely, so I had to do it by hand. Recompiling
the
kernel (with the TEMAC configured to on) I now had network support.
3. The speed of the network was very poor. I wanted to implement DMA
for
the TEMAC. I created a new PPC with BSB using DMA on the TEMAC. Kernel
recompilied without a problem, but upon starting the kernel I got:

[ 5.875957] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Going back through previous posts I found that I need to upgrade the
kernel
driver for the DMA and TEMAC to V3.
4. From EDK 8.2.02i SP2.4+0 I copied the files from the BSP to the
kernel
using the following steps.
a. Copied the files from linux\drivers\net\xilinx_temac of the
BSP
to drivers/net/xilinx_temac of the kernel preserving the Makefile from
the
kernel.
b. To adapter.c I remove the #include xilinx_devices.h and added
#include linux/platform_devices.h and #include platforms/4xx/virtex.h
c. To adapter.c I changed all instances of CHECKSUM_HW to
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
d. To the Makefile in linux/drivers/net/xilinux_temac I added
xtemac_stats.o
e. I removed the #include xparameters.h from xtemac.h
f. Copied the files from linux\drivers\xilinx_common of the BSP
to
drivers/xilinx_edk of the kernel.
g. In the drivers/xililnx_edk Makefile I removed the line
containing
xdma_channel.o xdma_channel_sg.o
h. In the drivers/xililnx_edk Makefile I commented out the line
with
xlinx_syms.o
5. Recompiled the kernel I everything was OK. Starting the kernel
everything looked OK:
[ 3.758994] XTemac: using sgDMA mode.
[ 3.803211] XTemac: using TxDRE mode

6. I am using busybox 1.2.1 which worked fine previously configuring
the
network. Now when I execute ifconfig I get the following problem:
[ 12.228721] eth0: XTemac: Options: 0xb8f2

# [ 57.180152] eth0: XTemac: PHY Link carrier lost.
Anybody have an suggestions?
Thanks,
Glenn
