RE: microcodepatch

Hi,

Indeed the microcode patch seemd to be different, but even though I use
the
I2C 823 patch downloaded from the mot.com site. Everything behaves the
same
untill I compile the I2C support code into the kernel then the network
does
not crash the kernel.

K.D.

Are there any known issues regarding the I2C patch and the ethernet
driver?

You need to ensure the patch is suitable for the CPM on the processor
you have.  I know the USB SOF patch works on the 823/850 Rev.
B processors,
but I don't remember where the others came from.  You should probably
visit Motorola's web site and get the patch specific to your processor
and update the microcode patch file.

If I disable the microcode patch everything works fine,

except the I2C

stuff.

Depending upon the application, sometimes it is easier and faster to
simply use the software toggle agorithm on the pins rather than the
CPM controller.
