[U-Boot-Users] Fwd: PPC405H ethernet receive problems

[Ryan Harkin]

OK, sorry about sending my message to the list without enough research into my problem.  I have just found out that the Interrupt controller on the NP405H is a bit like a hybrid between the one for CONFIG_440 and the generic 405.

405ep seems to have only one UIC, 405h has UIC0 and UIC1.

I also forgot to mention that I am using u-boot-1.0.0 with no patches , just my own mods.

I notice that there is an ASH405.h in include/configs.  This does not set CONFIG_440 and doesn't seem to change the interrupt vectors at all.  Does anyone here know anything about this port?  Or has anyone else encountered the same interrupt controller issue as I have?

I am in the process of modofying the interrupt code now, but if there are patches for this the I would be very interested in seeing them.

Cheers,
Ryan.
