devn-gt64260.so

Driver for Marvell GT64260 Ethernet controller

Syntax:

io-net -d gt64260 [option[,option ...]] ... &

Options:

Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces).

deviceindex=num

Specifies the index of the Ethernet device to attach to. If no index is specified, the driver automatically initializes and attaches to all 3 channels.

duplex=0/1

Duplex mode. Use 0 for half-duplex mode and 1 for full-duplex mode.

mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX

Specifies the hardware MAC address. This option is mandatory.

memrange=0xXXXXXXXX

Register base memory address. There is no default; this option is mandatory.

mtu=X

Maximum transmission unit.

nomulticast

Ignore requests to receive multicast addresses.

promiscuous

Enable promiscuous mode.

receive=num

Set the number of receive descriptors/buffers. The default is 64.

rmii=0

Use MII phy. Default is 1=ON (Use RMII phy).

speed=10/100

Media data rate.

transmit=num

Set the number of transmit descriptors/buffers. The default is 128.

verbose=num

Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher the number, the more detailed the output). The output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

A MAC address must be specified on the command line. In auto-initialization mode, (where "deviceindex" isn't specified) the MAC address for each channel is derived from the specified MAC address plus the channel index.

Description:

The devn-gt64260.so driver controls Marvell Ethernet controllers.

Examples:

Start io-net on the Motorola MVP board, auto-initializing all three channels:

Channel 1 will be assigned a MAC address of 001100bead01, and channel 2 will be assigned a MAC address of 001100bead02.

io-net -d gt64260 memrange=0xf8000000,rmii=0,mac=001100bead00 -ptcpip

Start io-net on the Marvell EV-64260A-BP board, using channel 0 and channel 2:

io-net -d gt64260 memrange=0xf8000000,mac=001100bead00,deviceindex=0 \
-dgt64260 memrange=0xf8000000,mac=001100bead22,deviceindex=2
-ptcpip

Files:

/dev/io-net

The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add entries. For more information, the documentation for io-net.
