RE: MPC5200B SPI codec error when there is a heavy ethernet

Txema wrote on 15 Jan 2008
We have a MPC5200B based custom board running a 2.4.25 Denx linux
kernel. We use the PSC6 in SPI-codec mode to exchange some bytes
periodically in full-duplex with a peripheral.

In 'normal' conditions this communication runs fine. But when we start
sending packets over the Ethernet as a background activity, we see on
the oscilloscope that one of the SPI transfers is interrupted.

Also just a shot in the dark:
I remember someone having similar problems with UART in AC97 mode.

I associated this with other FEC problems which boiled down to an issue
with
MPC52xx_XLB_CFG_BSDIS.
