wdenk5a95f6f2005-01-12 00:38:03 +00001This is the readme for the Das U-Boot standalone program smc91111
2
3The main purpose of this is to manage MAC addresses on platforms
4which include the SMC91111 integrated 10/100 MAC Phy, with attached
5EEPROMs.

171. Ensuring U-boot's MAC address can be set in hardware
18--------------------------------------------------------------------------
19
20On the Internet - MAC addresses are very important. Short for Media
21Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies
22each node of a network. When things are not unique - bad things
23can happen. This is why U-Boot makes it difficult to change MAC
24addresses.
25
26To find out who has a MAC address, or to purchase MAC addresses, goto
27the IEEE, at:
28http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml
29
30To change your MAC address, there can not be a MAC address predefined in
31U-Boot. To ensure that this does not occur, check your
32include/configs/<board_name>.h file, and check to see that the following
33settings are _not_ or commented out there.
34
35#define HARDCODE_MAC 1
36#define CONFIG_ETHADDR 02:80:ad:20:31:b8
37
38The purpose of HARDCODE_MAC is to hardcode the MAC address in software,
39(not what we want), or to preset it to 02:80:ad:20:31:b8 (not what we
40want either).
41
42You can check this in a running U-Boot, by doing a power cycle, then
43before U-Boot tries to do any networking, running the 'printenv' command
44
45 BOOT> printenv
46
47 ethaddr=02:80:ad:20:31:b8
48
49If you see the 'ethaddr' variable show up, like the above, you need to
50recompile U-Boot, with the above settings commented out of the
51include/configs/<board_name>.h file.
52
532. Running the smc91111_eeprom program
54---------------------------------------------------------------------
55
56After Uboot is compiled, there should be three files of interest:
57-rwxr-xr-x 1 8806 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom <- ELF
58-rwxr-xr-x 1 3440 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.bin <- BIN
59-rwxr-xr-x 1 9524 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.srec <- SREC
60
61if there is not, check the examples/Makefile, and ensure there is something
62like for your architecture:
63
64 ifeq ($(ARCH),blackfin)
65 SREC += smc91111_eeprom.srec
66 BIN += smc91111_eeprom.bin smc91111_eeprom
67 endif
68
69To load the files: there are two methods: a) serial or b) network. Since
70it is not a good idea to start doing things on the network before the
71MAC address is set, this example will do things over serial.
72
73a) Loading the elf file via the serial port
74--------------------------------------------
75Loading the elf is very easy - just ensure that the location
76you specify things to load as is not the load address specified
77in the Makefile.
78
79BOOT> loadb 0x1000000
80
81## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x01000000 at 57600 bps...
82
83(type CNTL-\ then C)
84(Back at local machine)
85----------------------------------------------------
86Kermit>send ~/u-boot_1.1.1/examples/smc91111_eeprom
87Kermit>connect
88
89Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 57600
90 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled
91Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
92or followed by ? to see other options.
93----------------------------------------------------
94## Total Size = 0x00002266 = 8806 Bytes
95## Start Addr = 0x01000000
96
97BOOT> bootelf 0x1000000
98
99Loading .text @ 0x00001000 (3440 bytes)
100## Starting application at 0x000010d8 ...
101
102SMC91111>
103
104b) Loading the binary file via the serial port
105-----------------------------------------------
106For many toolchains, the entry point is not the load point.
107The Load point is a hard coded address from the
108examples/Makefile. The entry point can be found by doing something
109like:
110
111 u-boot_1.1.1/examples> bfin-elf-objdump -d smc91111_eeprom |less
112
113 smc91111_eeprom: file format elf32-bfin
114
115 Disassembly of section .text:
116
117 00001000 <smc91111_eeprom-0xd8>:
118 1000:
119 000010d8 <smc91111_eeprom>:
120
121You can see that the entry point (or the address that should be
122jumped to is 0x10d8). This is also the same as the entry point
123of the elf file.
124
125Now we load it to the actual load location:
126
127BOOT> loadb 0x1000
128
129## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x00001000 at 57600 bps...
130
131(Back at pinky.dsl-only.net)

133Kermit>send /tftpboot/eeprom.bin
134Kermit>connect
135
136Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 57600
137 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled
138Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
139or followed by ? to see other options.
140----------------------------------------------------
141## Total Size = 0x00000d70 = 3440 Bytes
142## Start Addr = 0x00001000
143
144BOOT> go 0x10D8
145
146## Starting application at 0x000010D8 ...

1503. Setting MAC addresses
151--------------------------------------------------------------------------
152
153The MAC address can be stored in four locations:
154
155-Boot environmental variable in Flash <- can not change, without
156 re-flashing U-boot.
157U-Boot environental variable <- can not change, without
158 resetting board/U-Boot
159LAN91C111 Registers <- volitle
160LAN91C111 EEPROM <- Non Volitle
161
162If you have not activated the network, and do not have a hardcoded
163or pre-assigned MAC address in U-boot, the environmental variables
164should be blank, and allow you to set things one time.
