[ixp1200] Re:boot driver file

12 Dec 2003

      Hi,

We encountered the same problem with the boot_drv rpm and the remainder of 
the mail explains how we solved it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 1) Please notice the "3" in our boot_drv RPM filename. This 
means we are not using the boot_drv RPM supplied by Intel anymore, because 
we noticed packet loss using the Intel package on a Radisys ENP-2505 board 
(see previous postings). Probably, this does *not* apply to non-RadiSys 
boards meaning you can use the Intel supplied package in those situations. 
However, the installation fault encountered (and the solution) was the same 
for both versions of the package...

Here is a step-by-step guide to solve the problem:

- rpm -recompile boot_drv-2.0.1-3.src.rpm

     There's a fault in the installation script. The installation will fail
     at a certain point.
     The remainder of the driver installation will have to be done manually:

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/bootixp/

  - Modify create_environment.rc:

      Change "HOST_I = eth1" to "HOST_I = ethx" with x the number of 
non-IXP1200
      NIC's in the computer.

  - Modify .create_environment:

     Change "exportfs -ra" to "exportfs -ra >& /dev/null"

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/src/boot_drv/

  - Modify load_bv:

     Change
       major=`cat /proc/devices | awk "\\$2==\"$module\" {print \\$1}"`
     to
       major=`cat /proc/devices | grep $module | cut -d ' ' -f 1`

  - Modify Makefile:

     Change
       cp bvloadapp ../bin
     to
       cp bvloadapp $(BOOTDIR)

     Change
       cp $(TARGET).o ../bin
     to
       cp $(TARGET).o $(BOOTDIR)

     Add to "install: all" section: (use TAB, not 8 spaces !!!)

       cp load_bv $(BOOTDIR)
       cp unload_bv $(BOOTDIR)

  - make clean
  - make dep
  - make
  - make install

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/src/pciDg

  - Modify rules.mk:

     Change
       ARM-KERNEL-INCLUDES = $(PWD)/../linux/include
     to
       ARM-KERNEL-INCLUDES = $(PWD)/../linuxIXAedu/include

     Change
       X86-KERNEL-INCLUDES =
     to
       X86-KERNEL-INCLUDES = /usr/src/linux/include

     Change
       CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall  -I ../module
     to
       CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall  -I ../module -I $(X86-KERNEL-INCLUDES)

  - make clean
  - make
  - make install

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/

  - mkdir /opt/ixasdk/enp-2505
  - cp -fR * /opt/ixasdk/enp-2505

  - Eventually reboot the machine (probably not necessary)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Tim
