Re: some problems on the SystemACE driver.

Hi Ming,
   Can you send me the entire text output (in a file) of the compilation
process with errors?

Dear Ameet,

1. Which TEMAC patch are you using?
(http://source.mvista.com/~ank/paulus-powerpc/20060309/ppc32_xilinx_edk_temac.patch) 

There are five patches in the directory 20060309 whose address is listed 
above by you. I applied all of them in my system, because without any 
there will be problems.

2. After applying the patch, is the driver getting compiled directly
without having to select it via "make menuconfig"?

No. there is an option named "xilinx 10/100/1000 Mbit TEMAC support" in 
the menuconfig. I must select it and then compile the kernel.

3. I don't see a Makefile in the drivers/net/xilinx_temac/ folder?

I have checked. In my kernel, there is the Makefile. I don't know why 
this happened to you.

Let me describe the detailed process I did. First, download the kernel 
2.6.17.1 (or 2.6.16-rc5). Then apply the five patches for Temac.(If I 
use 2.6.17.1, I need to upgrade some files manually. For 2.6.16, there 
is no problem.) And then apply the patch for SystemACE. Also copy and 
replace the xparameters_ml403.h by my own file generated by EDK. Then 
make menuconfig, selecting both Temac and SystemACE and other basic 
options. Then make dep and make zImage. During this process, I need to 
modify some little problems which are about the inclusion of some header 
files, or specify some lib inclusion directories instead. Then that 
problem appears. There are some main points: 1. configured for ml403 
board. 2.both Temac and SystemACE are selected. 3. 5 patches for Temac 
and 1 patch for SystemACE. 4. linux version is 2.6.17 or 2.6.16. I 
really have no idea why this still happens after your modification. So I 
have to ask you again.

Ofcourse, I can work my way to compile the driver. But is there any doc.
present explaining this?

Sorry that there is no doc to explain this. I just did following the 
procedure described above. I am totally lost. The strange thing is, when 
I select only one of these two drivers, no problem, but if both, problem.
By the way, I noticed that in the address where I get your patch, there 
is also a patch called linuxppc-2.6.17.1-sysace-1.0.patch which is much 
larger than the 1.1 one. I needn't apply the 1.0 one, right?
Thanks for your hard work. Hopefully we can solve the problem.
Regards
Ming
