IMX35LPDK FEC Ethernet interface

[ssbal]

Hi All,

We are working with the IMX35LPDK board and we are trying to activate the intergated into MCU FEC Ethernet interface. This interface is available on the Personnality board but it seems to be inactive. The Ethernet interface available on Debug board is working fine. When typing IFCONFIG on board Linux shell, we get eth0 interface corresponding to Debug board, so it seems the FEC driver is not activated. We are unable to find any instructions in the different manuals how to activate the FEC driver of MCU. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.

You need to enable FEC support in the kernel.

./ltib -c

[*] Configure the kernel

Device Drivers --->

[*] Network Device Support --->

[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mit) ---->

Unselect < > SMC 91C9x/91C1xxx support

and

Select the FEC:

<*> FEC ethernet controller
