Dear All .
We need clarifications on the following topics for the same.
1. Is it possible to use the powerquicc2 driver provided along with eCos2.0
to support Ethernet interface on all three FCC channels , looking at the
code(only a rough look ) it seems that driver is hardcoded for FCC2.
I certainly think that it is possible. When we ported eCos to the 8260, we
had the VADS board and our custom board, which both only used FCC2. We did
not go the extra mile to implement the other FCCs.
2. Is it possible to route the packets from different interfaces to
different stacks ? for one interface it has to go to regular protocol stack
, for the other interfaces it should go to another routing stack.
Don't know. Sorry.
3. In "InitEthernetPHY" function the support for full duplex 100 Mbps
connection has been commented out, even though the Intel LXT970A chip
supports that mode. Anyone knows why ???
I don't recall, and the guy that actually worked on that piece is long
gone. Patrick, do you recall?
We are new to eCos and any help would be greatly appreciated

Tiby
