Hello,
I have a strange issue with the network connection.
I'm using the i.mx53 qsb. I'm using U-Boot version 2011.09 and I'm using the kernel 3.2.0-rc6. I build both of them myself.
When I boot the system (from a SD card that I formatted), I have U-Boot telling me that is got the Mac address from fuse. This is the exact message:
Net: got MAC address from fuse: 00:04:9f:01:b3:5e
On the following line, U-Boot tells me that it fails the set the Mac Address. Do anyone knows what is going on? The exact message displayed by U-Boot is the following:
FECWarning: failed to set MAC address
When I boot into Linux and run the command: ifconfig eth0
I have have this result:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
As you can see, the MAC Address is 00:00:00:00:00:00 which is completely strange. So Do I need to set the MAC from U-Boot? If yes how do I do that? If the problem is not caused by U-Boot, it should be the kernel causing this issue. In the case that the problem is cause by the Kernel, do somebody knows which option should I activate in the kernel.
Thanks for your help. I Attached the output from U-Boot https://community.nxp.com/discussions/456-ubootOutput" target="_selfand the kernel.
:-)
