Re: NIC fails in RELEASE build CE 5.0

I think so....
How exactly do I remove it? I used
BSP_NOSHAREETH=1
KERNELNOSHAREETH=1
and un-checked (IMGNOKITL=1) in the build options. Is there something else
I need to do? I don't see vmini loading when I use SerialDebug and look at
the trace. How can I tell what exactly is included in my build? 4.2 had a
batch file I could modify/read to see exactly what build variables were set.
I can't seem to find it in 5.0.

thx

And you did remove VMINI in the release build, right? The Ethernet
controller can't serve two masters, so, if your OAL code is trying to
operate it for VMINI/KITL and you also are trying to run the right driver
on top of it, it won't work.

I have a CEPC-GEODE PC/104 board with an NE2000 ISA NIC. When I use the
VMINI driver in a debug build it works fine. In the release build, DHCP
fails. Searching, it seems that similar problems are form not removing
the vmini driver and KITL formthe build. I have done this--at least I
think I have.

Static IP also doesn't work--the board won't respond to a ping.

Here is what I have done in the build:

IMGNOKITL=1 (UN-check box - Build Options)
KERNELNOSHAREETH=1
BSP_NOSHAREETH=1
BSP_NIC_NE2000_ISA=1

I also have:

BSP_NOPCIBUS=1
BSP_NOPCMCIA=1 (These are also in the debug build)


In the DEBUG Build, none of these are set.
In the registry, I hav left the default settings, with the exception of
setting port (0x2c0) and IRQ (5) as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE2000]
"DisplayName"=LOC_DISPLAYNAME_COMM_NE2000
"Group"="NDIS"
"ImagePath"="ne2000.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE2000\Linkage]
"Route"=multi_sz:"NE20001"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE20001]
"DisplayName"=LOC_DISPLAYNAME_COMM_NE20001
"Group"="NDIS"
"ImagePath"="ne2000.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE20001\Parms]
"BusNumber"=dword:0
"BusType"=dword:1
"InterruptNumber"=dword:05
"IoBaseAddress"=dword:2C0
"Transceiver"=dword:3
"CardType"=dword:0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\NE20001\Parms\TcpIp]
"EnableDHCP"=dword:1
"DefaultGateway"=""
"UseZeroBroadcast"=dword:0
"IpAddress"="0.0.0.0"
"Subnetmask"="0.0.0.0"

The CE board sends a "DHCP Discover message", and it gets an Offer
message
from the DHCP server, but the message is ignored--I never see a DHCP
Request--instead it sends several more "DHCP Discover" messages.

I enabled serialDebug, but kept :
KERNELNOSHAREETH=1
BSP_NOSHAREETH=1
I get debug message through the serial port and I can see that the NIC is
initialized and DHCP loads and tries to DHCP, but never sees the replys
from the DHCP server (They are sent)

It looks like the board cannot receive any data.

I am really stuck on this one!

thx
