11:00 AM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
Mike,
FYI It was the bias resistor. There was a type in the BOM and a 49.9K was installed instead of a 4.99K. ...

Mike,
After talking this out with our software guy we are convinced its as your said,one of two things. The con...

Hi John,
It looks like the OMAP MII interface is not making it to your network. The 169.254.X.X network means tha...

John Mladenik
08:20 PM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
That message is OK. You can set up ethernet to use MII or RMII (but not both, and you're using MII).
It looks lik...
Michael Williamson
08:06 PM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
I saw this among the test
EMAC: MII PHY configured, RMII PHY will not be functional
I attached the whole text
John Mladenik
07:50 PM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
Can you dump out the text from the boot sequence? Does the u-Boot locate the PHY (via the MDIO scan)?

Michael Williamson
07:42 PM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
OK I made all the changes and it still does not work. I now think there are only two difference between out circuits... John Mladenik

04:35 PM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
yes. you should add a pull-up. Michael Williamson
04:16 PM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
Mike,
The green on the component means I used a different value cap or resistor. C216 is there but I used a 1uF c...
John Mladenik
03:46 PM FPGA Development: RE: TLK100 Ethernet
Hi John,
I think you need to tie the RESET line on the phy to the MII_RESET_N signal. The SYS_RESET_N does not ge...

You'll need a different FPGA image. You also need to load an additional module (for the touchscreen controller on th... Michael Williamson
02:26 PM Software Development: RE: LCD/Display questions
Yup. That did it.
For some reason, I had copied the instructions for the Rev. C board instead of the ones above.

William Fisher
02:05 PM Software Development: RE: LCD/Display questions
Ah. OK. You punched in the i2c commands for the Rev C board. You have 0x3f programmed into position 0x08.
Please...

04:16 PM Software Development: RE: LCD/Display questions
Definitely not a Rev C board, so it must be a B (I think we have an A here as well, but this isn't it).
Yes, actua...

Actually John,
you shouldn't need to reprogram the NAND/root filesystem. Only the kernel. The NAND should still ...
Michael Williamson
04:10 PM FPGA Development: RE: Critical link bit file
Right. The procedure you just ran only reloads the bootloader images.
You will also need to reload the kernel i...

Hi John,
Well, the bad news is that I think you whacked the bootloading code on the SPI FLASH.
