Hi!

thanks for your quick replys. More helpful than the manufacturer thats for sure.

I totally admit that im a newbie at all this, so sorry if I dont understand things.

I was under the impression that the MAC address was supplied by the hardware supplier. (at least this seems to be the can in the PC world). Is this not the case in the embedded world?

Cheers

Mark

I've got an sbc6000x from www.armkits.com. I've been working through how
to put debian onto this board and was making some progress (im just a
beginner), but now I
dont have network access when at the U-boot prompt. The Board is
connected to the network as the link light is on on the interface. As
soon as I try to ping the board itself ie ping 192.192.192.200 (the
default ip address) the link light goes out. this is from the command
line

Well, I guess you did not read the FAQ...

U-Boot>  printenv
bootcmd=nand read 0x22000000 0x1A0000 0x200000; bootm 0x22000000
bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
ethaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:01:01

Ouch.

See FAQ 14.2.13. Ethernet Does Not Work

See also 14.2.14. Where Can I Get a Valid MAC Address from?

Best regards,
