Choosing an Ethernet Card for a CEPC

  • Article

In order to establish an Ethernet connection from your development workstation to your CEPC, you need to choose an Ethernet card for your CEPC that is supported by your boot loader and OS image. If you choose a single PCI debug Ethernet card, you do not need to edit the Autoexec.bat file. If you choose an ISA debug Ethernet card, you must edit the Autoexec.bat file on the boot floppy disk before downloading an OS image, because ISA Ethernet cards have a specific interrupt (NET_IRQ) and I/O (NET_IOBASE) values that depend on the ISA Ethernet card. For information about setting NET_IRQ and NET_IOBASE values for your Ethernet card, see Editing the Autoexec.bat File for an x86 SDB. For more information about connecting to a CEPC through Ethernet, see Configuring an Ethernet Remote Connection.

For PCI-based debug Ethernet cards, the PCI vendor and device identifiers in a table located in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Inc\HalEther.h determine the Ethernet card type.

To choose an Ethernet card for a CEPC

  • Choose a NE2000-compabile, RTL8139-compatible, DP83815, or 3Com** 3c90x Ethernet card.

    Note   If you choose a PCI Ethernet card that is not detected and the Ethernet card is not compatible with NE2000 or SMC9000, you may need to update the device identifiers in the CEPCEdbgVendorIds array. For the boot loader, this array is in %_WINCEROOT%\Platform\CEPC\Eboot\Main.c.

    The following table shows the Ethernet cards currently recognized by the CEPC.
