Ensuring U-boot's MAC address can be set in hardware +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +On the Internet - MAC addresses are very important. Short for Media +Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies +each node of a network. When things are not unique - bad things +can happen. This is why U-Boot makes it difficult to change MAC +addresses. + +To find out who has a MAC address, or to purchase MAC addresses, goto +the IEEE, at: +http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml + +To change your MAC address, there can not be a MAC address predefined in +U-Boot. To ensure that this does not occur, check your +include/configs/<board_name>.h file, and check to see that the following +settings are _not_ or commented out there. + +#define HARDCODE_MAC 1 +#define CONFIG_ETHADDR 02:80:ad:20:31:b8 + +The purpose of HARDCODE_MAC is to hardcode the MAC address in software, +(not what we want), or to preset it to 02:80:ad:20:31:b8 (not what we +want either). + +You can check this in a running U-Boot, by doing a power cycle, then +before U-Boot tries to do any networking, running the 'printenv' command + + BOOT> printenv + + ethaddr=02:80:ad:20:31:b8 + +If you see the 'ethaddr' variable show up, like the above, you need to +recompile U-Boot, with the above settings commented out of the +include/configs/<board_name>.h file. + +2. Running the smc91111_eeprom program +--------------------------------------------------------------------- + +After Uboot is compiled, there should be three files of interest: +-rwxr-xr-x 1 8806 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom <- ELF +-rwxr-xr-x 1 3440 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.bin <- BIN +-rwxr-xr-x 1 9524 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.srec <- SREC + +if there is not, check the examples/Makefile, and ensure there is something +like for your architecture: + + ifeq ($(ARCH),blackfin) + SREC += smc91111_eeprom.srec + BIN += smc91111_eeprom.bin smc91111_eeprom + endif + +To load the files: there are two methods: a) serial or b) network. Since +it is not a good idea to start doing things on the network before the +MAC address is set, this example will do things over serial. + +a) Loading the elf file via the serial port +-------------------------------------------- +Loading the elf is very easy - just ensure that the location +you specify things to load as is not the load address specified +in the Makefile. + +BOOT> loadb 0x1000000 + +## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x01000000 at 57600 bps... + +(type CNTL-\ then C) +(Back at local machine) +---------------------------------------------------- +Kermit>send ~/u-boot_1.1.1/examples/smc91111_eeprom +Kermit>connect + +Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 57600 + Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled +Type the escape character followed by C to get back, +or followed by ? to see other options. +---------------------------------------------------- +## Total Size = 0x00002266 = 8806 Bytes +## Start Addr = 0x01000000 + +BOOT> bootelf 0x1000000 + +Loading .text @ 0x00001000 (3440 bytes) +## Starting application at 0x000010d8 ... + +SMC91111> + +b) Loading the binary file via the serial port +----------------------------------------------- +For many toolchains, the entry point is not the load point. +The Load point is a hard coded address from the +examples/Makefile.
