1This is the readme for the Das U-Boot standalone program smc91111
2
3The main purpose of this is to manage MAC addresses on platforms
4which include the SMC91111 integrated 10/100 MAC Phy, with attached
5EEPROMs.

171. Ensuring U-Boot's MAC address can be set in hardware
18--------------------------------------------------------------------------
19
20On the Internet - MAC addresses are very important. Short for Media
21Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies
22each node of a network. When things are not unique - bad things
23can happen.  This is why U-Boot makes it difficult to change MAC
24addresses.
25
26To find out who has a MAC address, or to purchase MAC addresses, goto
27the IEEE, at:
28http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml
29
302. Running the smc91111_eeprom program
31---------------------------------------------------------------------
32
33After Uboot is compiled, there should be three files of interest:
34-rwxr-xr-x    1		8806 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom	    <- ELF
35-rwxr-xr-x    1		3440 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.bin   <- BIN
36-rwxr-xr-x    1		9524 2004-10-11 14:00 smc91111_eeprom.srec  <- SREC
37
38if there is not, check the examples/Makefile, and ensure there is something
39like for your architecture:
40
41   ifeq ($(ARCH),blackfin)
42   SREC	  += smc91111_eeprom.srec
43   BIN	  += smc91111_eeprom.bin smc91111_eeprom
44   endif
45
46To load the files: there are two methods: a) serial or b) network. Since
47it is not a good idea to start doing things on the network before the
48MAC address is set, this example will do things over serial.
49
50a) Loading the elf file via the serial port
51--------------------------------------------
52Loading the elf is very easy - just ensure that the location
53you specify things to load as is not the load address specified
54in the Makefile.
55
56BOOT> loadb 0x1000000
57
58## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x01000000 at 57600 bps...
59
60(type CNTL-\ then C)
61(Back at local machine)
62----------------------------------------------------
63Kermit>send ~/u-boot_1.1.1/examples/smc91111_eeprom
64Kermit>connect
65
66Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 57600
67 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled
68Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
69or followed by ? to see other options.
70----------------------------------------------------
71## Total Size	   = 0x00002266 = 8806 Bytes
72## Start Addr	   = 0x01000000
73
74BOOT> bootelf 0x1000000
75
76Loading .text @ 0x00001000 (3440 bytes)
77## Starting application at 0x000010d8 ...
78
79SMC91111>
80
81b) Loading the binary file via the serial port
82-----------------------------------------------
83For many toolchains, the entry point is not the load point.
84The Load point is a hard coded address from the
85examples/Makefile. The entry point can be found by doing something
86like:
87
88  u-boot_1.1.1/examples> bfin-elf-objdump -d smc91111_eeprom |less
89
90  smc91111_eeprom:     file format elf32-bfin
91
92  Disassembly of section .text:
93
94  00001000 <smc91111_eeprom-0xd8>:
95      1000:
96  000010d8 <smc91111_eeprom>:
97
98You can see that the entry point (or the address that should be
99jumped to is 0x10d8). This is also the same as the entry point
100of the elf file.
101
102Now we load it to the actual load location:
103
104BOOT> loadb 0x1000
105
106## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x00001000 at 57600 bps...
107
108(Back at pinky.dsl-only.net)
109----------------------------------------------------
110Kermit>send /tftpboot/eeprom.bin
111Kermit>connect
112
113Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 57600
114 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled
115Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
116or followed by ? to see other options.
117----------------------------------------------------
118## Total Size	   = 0x00000d70 = 3440 Bytes
119## Start Addr	   = 0x00001000
120
121BOOT> go 0x10D8
122
123## Starting application at 0x000010D8 ...
124

126
1273. Setting MAC addresses
128--------------------------------------------------------------------------
129
130The MAC address can be stored in four locations:
131
132-Boot environmental variable in Flash <- can not change, without
133					  re-flashing U-Boot.
134U-Boot environmental variable	       <- can not change, without
135					  resetting board/U-Boot
136LAN91C111 Registers		       <- volatile
137LAN91C111 EEPROM		       <- Non-volatile
138
139If you have not activated the network, and do not have a hardcoded
140or pre-assigned MAC address in U-Boot, the environmental variables
141should be blank, and allow you to set things one time.

1744. Other things that you can do
175--------------------------------------------------------------------------
176After the stand alone application is running, there are a few options:
177 - P : Print the MAC
178 - D : Dump the LAN91C111 EEPROM contents
179 - M : Dump the LAN91C111 MAC contents
180 - C : Copies the MAC address from the EEPROM to the LAN91C111
181 - W : Write a register in the EEPROM or in the MAC
