[ptxdist] link detection

[Johannes De Smedt]

When I boot my freescale iMX28 board without an ethernet cable, it waits just
after ADDRCONF: link is not ready. When I plug in an ethernet cable, booting
resumes.

[    2.320000] eth0: Freescale FEC PHY driver [SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720] 
(mii_bus:phy_addr=imx28-fec-1:00, irq=-1)
[    2.330000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[   11.320000] PHY: imx28-fec-1:00 - Link is Up - 100/Full
[   11.340000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
[   11.360000] IP-Config: Complete:

Why does the boot process wait for an ethernet cable? Is there a timeout that can
be configured (so the boot process can resume faster)?

Thanks!

This looks like a kernel issue, not a ptxdist issue. So this is the
wrong mailing list.

I had the same problem some times ago. If you use Barebox, try to set ip in the evironment file to "none" and set up your eth link after the kernel has started.

Starting at least with PTXdist 2011.12.0 (for the mini2440) I have had to do:

ip=none with SD cards and #ip=none for NFS in /env/config

Don't use NAND so can't say what is needed there.  Note, this is with the
networking parameters set to your values.


Cheers,
Dave
