1 This is the readme for the Das U-Boot standalone program smc91111 2 3 The main purpose of this is to manage MAC addresses on platforms 4 which include the SMC91111 integrated 10/100 MAC Phy, with attached 5 EEPROMs. 6 7 8 Contents: 9 ------------------------ 10 1. Ensuring U-Boot's MAC address can be set in hardware 11 2. Running the smc91111_eeprom program 12 3. Setting MAC addresses 13 4. Other things you can do with this 14 5. Things to be done. 15 16 17 1. Ensuring U-Boot's MAC address can be set in hardware 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19 20 On the Internet - MAC addresses are very important. Short for Media 21 Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies 22 each node of a network. When things are not unique - bad things 23 can happen. This is why U-Boot makes it difficult to change MAC 24 addresses. 25 26 To find out who has a MAC address, or to purchase MAC addresses, goto 27 the IEEE, at: 28 http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml 29 30 2. Running the smc91111_eeprom program 31 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 33 After Uboot is compiled, there should be three files of interest: 34 -rwxr-xr-x 1 8806 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom <- ELF 35 -rwxr-xr-x 1 3440 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.bin <- BIN 36 -rwxr-xr-x 1 9524 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.srec <- SREC 37 38 if there is not, check the examples/Makefile, and ensure there is something 39 like for your architecture: 40 41 ifeq ($(ARCH),blackfin) 42 SREC += smc91111_eeprom.srec 43 BIN += smc91111_eeprom.bin smc91111_eeprom 44 endif 45 46 To load the files: there are two methods: a) serial or b) network. Since 47 it is not a good idea to start doing things on the network before the 48 MAC address is set, this example will do things over serial. 49 50 a) Loading the elf file via the serial port 51 -------------------------------------------- 52 Loading the elf is very easy - just ensure that the location 53 you specify things to load as is not the load address specified 54 in the Makefile. 55 56 BOOT> loadb 0x1000000 57 58 ## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x01000000 at 57600 bps... 59 60 (type CNTL-\ then C) 61 (Back at local machine) 62 ---------------------------------------------------- 63 Kermit>send ~/u-boot_1.1.1/examples/smc91111_eeprom 64 Kermit>connect 65 66 Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 57600 67 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled 68 Type the escape character followed by C to get back, 69 or followed by ? to see other options. 70 ---------------------------------------------------- 71 ## Total Size = 0x00002266 = 8806 Bytes 72 ## Start Addr = 0x01000000 73 74 BOOT> bootelf 0x1000000 75 76 Loading .text @ 0x00001000 (3440 bytes) 77 ## Starting application at 0x000010d8 ... 78 79 SMC91111> 80 81 b) Loading the binary file via the serial port 82 ----------------------------------------------- 83 For many toolchains, the entry point is not the load point. 84 The Load point is a hard coded address from the 85 examples/Makefile. The entry point can be found by doing something 86 like: 87 88 u-boot_1.1.1/examples> bfin-elf-objdump -d smc91111_eeprom |less 89 90 smc91111_eeprom: file format elf32-bfin 91 92 Disassembly of section .text: 93 94 00001000 <smc91111_eeprom-0xd8>: 95 1000: 96 000010d8 <smc91111_eeprom>: 97 98 You can see that the entry point (or the address that should be 99 jumped to is 0x10d8). This is also the same as the entry point 100 of the elf file. 101 102 Now we load it to the actual load location: 103 104 BOOT> loadb 0x1000 105 106 ## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x00001000 at 57600 bps... 107 108 (Back at pinky.dsl-only.net) 109 ---------------------------------------------------- 110 Kermit>send /tftpboot/eeprom.bin 111 Kermit>connect 112 113 Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 57600 114 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled 115 Type the escape character followed by C to get back, 116 or followed by ? to see other options. 117 ---------------------------------------------------- 118 ## Total Size = 0x00000d70 = 3440 Bytes 119 ## Start Addr = 0x00001000 120 121 BOOT> go 0x10D8 122 123 ## Starting application at 0x000010D8 ... 124 125 SMC91111> 126 127 3. Setting MAC addresses 128 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 129 130 The MAC address can be stored in four locations: 131 132 -Boot environmental variable in Flash <- can not change, without 133 re-flashing U-Boot. 134 U-Boot environmental variable <- can not change, without 135 resetting board/U-Boot 136 LAN91C111 Registers <- volatile 137 LAN91C111 EEPROM <- Non-volatile 138 139 If you have not activated the network, and do not have a hardcoded 140 or pre-assigned MAC address in U-Boot, the environmental variables 141 should be blank, and allow you to set things one time. 142 143 To set the EEPROM MAC address to 12:34:56:78:9A:BC 144 145 SMC91111> W E 20 3412 146 147 Writing EEPROM register 20 with 3412 148 SMC91111> W E 21 7856 149 150 Writing EEPROM register 21 with 7856 151 SMC91111> W E 22 BC9A 152 153 Writing EEPROM register 22 with bc9a 154 EEPROM contents copied to MAC 155 SMC91111> P 156 157 Current MAC Address in SMSC91111 12:34:56:78:9a:bc 158 Current MAC Address in EEPROM 12:34:56:78:9a:bc 159 160 (CNTRL-C to exit) 161 SMC91111> ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 162 163 BOOT> reset 164 U-Boot 1.1.1 (gcc version: 3.3.3) 165 Release Version Beta released on Oct 10 2004 - 00:34:35 166 Blackfin support by LG Soft India 167 For further information please check this link http://www.blackfin.uclinux.org 168 BOOT> ping 192.168.0.4 169 170 Using MAC Address 12:34:56:78:9A:BC 171 host 192.168.0.4 is alive 172 173 174 4.
