Hi,

two days ago I've got an RB1000, based on MPC8548. Yesterday I tried to
compile PowerPC kernel with MPC85XX config file. It is possible to use
it on RB1000 via netboot, it boots up to DHCP request, see attached log.

I used tcpdump on DHCP server to see what's going no the wire, and I
realized there is only DHCP Discover request from RB1000 and DHCP Offer
reply from DHCP server. As all other clients are working correctly, it
looks to me that RB1000 ethernet driver works for sending but not for
receiving frame.

Also, there was no network activity on TFTP server where kernel was
loaded from after kernel code is started.

According to the available description, RB1000 has 64 MB flash, two
Compact flash slots, serial console and two LEDs, power an user. For me
this would be quite nice for testing, it needs some work to resolve
this issue with ethernet driver, and having working CF would be simply
great...

Has anybody already some experience with MPC8548? What can I do to
resolve this problem?

Regards,
Milan
