Ali,

I did the same. I put the image on sd card and boot. Situation is the same, still no
network. I tried to recompile the image a few times with different modules, but with
no positive results :(

I also have images from different version (with 128 MB memory) dated 2 months before
actual. I tried to compare them. There are some differences with project options. I
tried to compile image with the same options, but result the same. System boots up
OK, no network. Interresting fact is that with USB connection WWW browser is working
fine. It presents pages. But LAN is not available.

I also checked again if the module ethernet is working in Linux image. When i set ip
manually and turn on interface network works. I tried only PING and ARP and both work
OK. DevKit id visible from PC and viceversa.

I noticed strange thing about SD cards. I have a few of them but only one is booting
properly. The rest don"t want to boot devkit. Formatting with the suggested program
doesn;t help. I dont know what is the reason of that.

So we still don"t have working network in our modules . Still there is no response
from support!

Regards,
Robert

Networking Error <--- 〖Reply to this〗

Robert,
Not sure what is going on here but this is what I have found.
When the Windows CE boots up its looking for drivers for chip LAN911X
which of course is not the device on the Devkit8000. Devkit8000 has
DM9000AEP as a controller module.
The XLDR does not see this as a module and hence the chip never gets
initialised. Drivers of DM9000AEP are in the code but I dont know how much
its valid. Also DHCP is disabled by default. I will try something either today or
tomorrow and if I find something ill post.

Ali,
It is strange. All used network drivers are possible to configure in BSP in a bat
file(forgot the name). I noticed, that only DM9000AEP is enabled. When WinCe boots I
have DM9E1 icon in networking. Do you have the same icon? I don"t have LAN 911X icon.
How did You find out, that LAN911X is looked for loading? Because there are some
registry keys? It is possible to change those keys in visual studio and compile the
image. I was trying yesterday a few options but without success.

Netwroking <--- 〖Reply to this〗

Yes its true to edit the registry files in VS. When the system boots up you
need to hit the space button and you will see that DHCP is disabled and also
if you look and play inside the menu you will see that it can not find the
ethernet controller. When you read the debug just follow it through in code
and it will take you to controller which is not even on the devkit8000. Also the
bat file is i think devkit8000.bat where you set this up. I was getting the same
I con i think but I am not any more. What I am looking to do now is that when
you create a connection (LAN) why is PPPoE graded out.

I dont get any icons in the network connection now but have the option to
create a connection once DM9000 is enabled but can not select PPPoE

Networkong <--- 〖Reply to this〗

Ali,

I also noticed, that there is no network card detected during eboot work (when press
space). It might be the reason of our problems. But how to fix it? I have no idea
what to do know.

Network works. New image available <--- 〖Reply to this〗

I received information from support that new image is available. I downloded this
file and installed image on devKit. Network works fine now. DHCP works and manual ip
also. WWW browser loads pages and it is possible to communicate by tcpip with other
devices. So it was error in the image. My problems are solved.

I Am not sure if i should post information about how to download this image. I think
the producer should do that.

Robert
