Hi Willem.
Currently I'm trying to set-up five Linux (RedHat 7.2 and 7.3) workstations
with ENP-2505 boards, but failed to accomplish the task. (Using the IXA
EDU Setup guide 1.01 from Intel).I think the problem is on the pciDg.o and
pciDgNet.o modules. Because the only problem I have is regarging loading
these modules, as a result I cannot ping between Linux host and board. Linux
and W2K can ping between each other.
The main problem I have with Linux 7.2 (besides having a hard time to configure
the video card, not finished yet either) is that although it seems pciDg.o
and pciDgNet.o load correctly, eth1 is not created, I got this message:
"SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth1: unknown interface: no such device."
With Linux 7.3 I have tried to recompile the modules following a guide from
Laboratory of Advanced Systems Research at UCLA (I think)(http://webdiee.cem.itesm.mx/web2/comunicaciones/proyectos/otraguia.doc)
but still I got a message telling me the modules "pciDg.o was compilled
for version 2.4.18-4 while this kernel version is 2.4.18-3smp." So, I decided
to follow my own re-compilation procedure. This is what I did:
cd /usr/src/linux
edit the Makefile and change the EXTRAVERSION=-4
make mrproper
make oldconfig
cd /mnt/cdrom/ENP-2505_Driver
rpm -recompile boot_drv-2.0-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
make zImage
To big, so I change to
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-4
I modified the grub.conf file to add the new kernel
reboot
uname -r and I got 2.4.18-4
cd /opt/ixasdk/enp-2505/bin
insmod pciDg.o
pciDg.o was compiled for kernel ersion 2.4.17 while this
kernel is version 2.4.18-4
Hope you or somebody can help me. Best regards.

this is just a short message for people running Linux on an IXP board

If you want to try out the module, do the following: get the latest ffpf

inserting this module with the proper parameters will ioremap all memory
on an
arbitrary PCI device to the host's kernel and export it to userspace via
a
file in /dev through both read/write/llseek and mmap mec

If the module is inserted without any options it will try to create the
file /dev/genpci with all memory on an ENP board mapped. Since the SDRAM
is
in the 4th onboard memory region you'll have to add the length of the

#define RAMDISK_LOAD_ADDRESS 0x04800000 + 256 + 4096 + (1024*1024)

and move the offsets around a bit. U

I hope that this can be of use to some of you.

>Hi, I'm wondering what is the best way to duplicate a packet in SDRAM?
The reason for this is that I want to send one copy of the packet to the
StrongARM and the other copy will be forwarded to a different host after
some modifications.
1. I coul
> loop in microcode and use sdram[read] -> sdram[write] in
sequence until I reach the end of the packet.
2. I can copy it using the StrongARM, but this would probably mean that
the whole forwarding process will be stalled until the copying is
fini
>hed.
3. There is some 'magic' instruction that does this for me, that I'm
unaware of.
I'd much appreciate it if someone could give me a clue about what is the
best practice here?
