Im using the ixdpg425 board package, as our board is quite similar in
design. The only different is that we are using a 256MB Intel P30 flash.
I modified the source as per the following document
http://download.intel.com/design/flcomp/applnots/30829402.pdf in Appendix B.
Can anyone suggest why it is not initializing and/or why I cant get the
network interface up? I read somewhere that the network interface will not
work until you program a mac address. I dont have the command in redboot
2.02 to set mac_npe.
Regards,
Abraham Celik
