dec21x4xEnd driver

dec21x4xEnd driver

Post by stourang.. » Tue, 08 Aug 2000 04:00:00



I am having problems setting up the dec21x4xEnd driver. I dont have the
source file so I am only playing with the configuration of the driver.

After lots of work, I was able to make the driver attach to the mux and
attach protocols to it.

I had lots of problem with getting the link to be indicated on the
hub... I had to play around with a mediaSelect routine..

Problem is, the hub sees the link but the dec21x doesnt seem to see the
hub. By looking at the status registers, I see link failures and
autonegociation that is not completed...

Need some help please...

We had the problem that this driver seems not to be working on a 100MBit Hub
:-((.
We solved it by buying old 10Mbit hubs that work fine (but is not
satisfactory.)

Hi,

You are correct to switch; the driver was a 10Mbps only configuration
(although you have the media select function in the BSP so you should be
able to update it if you so choose).

A better solution would be to ask WR customer support if they have the
dec21x40End driver available for your version of the OS and
architecture. I am assuming that you're using ARM, in which case you
need some mods to the 40 driver to make it work (ARM-specific alignment
issues). The newest 40 driver also supports some of the newer 21143
devices properly.

Hope that helps,

John...

dec21x4xEnd driver

FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was able to make it work this morning...

By playing around with the registers, I figured out that in order to
correct the media select routine, we had to do
a two step programming of the csr6 register.

Unfortunately, the driver plays around with this register and it was
not possible to configure
it from the media select routine.

I decided to put the final configuration of csr6 in the sysLanIntEnable
routine...
That did it !!!!!!

Here are my mediaSelect and sysLanIntEnable routines...

/***********************************************************************

    csrReg   = (ULONG *)(pDrvCtrl->devAdrs + (CSR15 *
