linux/arc*: disable MAC frame filter in DW GMAC 2016-08-24T13:16:01+00:00 Alexey Brodkin Alexey.Brodkin@synopsys.com 2016-08-24T12:44:04+00:00 66f3edfd8baaf92133df251656118e70edcd59b9 DW GMAC on ARC SDP boards doesn't enter promiscuous mode if Ethernet PHY haven't got established link. Good examples are auto-negotiation in progress or disconnected cable. We do see Linux kernel sets GMAC's MAC filter register properly but GMAC's hardware doesn't accept new settings. We believe it is a hardware issue, most probably problem of integration of DW GMAC and PHY on the board. As a work-around we completely disable frame filtering in GMAC hardware (once and for good) which forces GMAC to enter promiscuous mode with the first write to MAC filter register. That gives us working bridge that consists of eth0 and wlan0 (USB Wi-Fi dongle). I.e. we finally have working "Dumb AP" setup made of ARC AXS10x boards. Given that hack is quite dirty (in loaded wired networks this will effectively load CPU with junk packets even if user doesn't need promisc mode) and there's no indication any other boards with DW GMAC suffer from the same issue we're patching only kernel for ARC boards.

archs38: Merge sd and ramfs subtargets in generic again 2016-08-20T03:33:47+00:00 Alexey Brodkin Alexey.Brodkin@synopsys.com 2016-08-19T10:58:36+00:00 334fdea08d71079d6e0f5bc8dc79790c0402ae2a As it turned out we may actually build both initramfs and SD-based images in one run with just a small tweak in existing image/Makefile and so we do here. We're back with one "generic" target for all ARC HS38-based bords. Kudos to John for his patience and very helpful tips!

archs38: Introduce images for SD-cards 2016-08-16T10:20:32+00:00 Alexey Brodkin Alexey.Brodkin@synopsys.com 2016-08-16T11:49:20+00:00 df4f41261cf9da3cb1681c7495c51badfe1d999c Historically on ARC we started from initramfs-based images because: a) It was much easier to debug especially when toolchain and other components were changing quite dynamically b) It was our usual approach for embedded Linux But now with ARC port of Lede/OpenWRT getting more stable and mature we're ready for more real-life scenarios with FS permanently stored on SD-card. This essentially benefits from ability to setup devices that survive reboots with all settings and extra packages kept in place. Still we keep an ability to build images with initramfs.

Historically on ARC we started from initramfs-based images because:
 a) It was much easier to debug especially when toolchain and other
    components were changing quite dynamically
 b) It was our usual approach for embedded Linux

But now with ARC port of Lede/OpenWRT getting more stable and mature
we're ready for more real-life scenarios with FS permanently stored
on SD-card. This essentially benefits from ability to setup devices
that survive reboots with all settings and extra packages kept in place.

Still we keep an ability to build images with initramfs.
