What I know about the Amlogic hardware is simply what I see in the Linux source code for the Amlogic ethernet driver and the fact that I'm told the NetBSD driver for Allwinner has also been successfully used for the Amlogic. >As you said before it works, Works is perhaps a bit strong with regards to using the FreeBSD dwc driver with the Amlogic SoC. As I recall transmitting packets seemed to work without issue once I changed the code to set some flags in DES1 instead of DES0. However, receiving was a bit iffy ... sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. I was still in the process of trying to track down that problem. > that means version is not too old, Do you happen to have any documentation regarding the differences between the various versions of the DWC silicon? Also ... is the Altera silicon capable of running in a mode compatible with the older DWC silicon? > and better idea here is to implement missing bits for our dwc(4) The problem is determining on the receive side what bits are missing. I'm happy to work towards folding the necessary changes into dwc(4), once we know what they are. -- John
