Kernel 2.6.24 / sam9263-ek

I've tried to use the kernel patch from maxim.org.za with an old config from 2.6.22.

Now I've lost my alsa soundcard, i2c has gone and ethernet doesn't function anymore.

Anyone got a working .config for an at91sam9263ek board with this kernel?

ps: the leds do work ;-)

Hi there,

I've just found exactly the same problem with the SAM9261-EK.

A little more information:
(1) I used the standard at91sam9261ek_defconfig, plus with NFS enabled
(2) It worked fine on 2.6.23 so it's not my hardware,
(3) It seems to try to add a second ethernet device, which isn't properly defined:

Code:

eth%d: Invalid ethernet MAC address.  Please set using ifconfig
eth0: dm9000 at c480e000,c4816044 IRQ 107 MAC: 01:02:03:04:05:aa

There are also a few other funnies:

Code:

Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
at91sam9_wdt: invalid timeout (must be between 1 and 16)

And then the RFS fails to mount with:

Code:

IP-Config: Failed to open eth0
IP-Config: No network devices available.

If anyone has any ideas, then please let me know! Meanwhile, I'm reverting back to 2.6.23.

Best regards,
Timmins[/code]

Same here (on the 9263-ek)

When I've configured a mac address on eth0, it doesn't get the lease it used
to be able to get on 2.6.22.

Hi there

You haven't mentioned 'make menuconfig',
which is the normal method of configuring the kernel.
Have you tried that?

Yep, tried some settings but there are quite some options ;-)

Ten years ago, I could have told you what every option would do, but now a days it requires a separate study.

If someone does have a working .config (with sound/leds/phy etc) I'll be more than happy to use that.
