Hi,
I am working on a board based on TI Sitara 335x. It has dual Ethernet port. We are using Sitara SDK Version 6.00.00. The firmware is configured for Dual MAC mode. I have connected eth0 of the board to the LAN and eth1 to a device (like a PC). I have dhcpd running on eth1 to form a crash net. I have connected eth1 to a PC.
When I bring the eth0 down and up with commands "ifconfig eth0 down" and "ifconfig eth0 up", I don't see the eth0 acquiring an IP address. The board is not reachable. I need to reboot the board to bring it back to normal condition.
Only if I bring down eth1 and then eth0 and then bring up eth0 and eth1, it works fine.
On the forums, I read about a defect related for ifup down/up on dual emac mode. The bug id is ARM_MPU_SDK.BTS_KERNEL.79 and issue filed is SDOCM00094019 (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_SDK_6.00.00_Release_Notes#Known_Issues). I am not sure if this is the same issue as I am seeing since I am not able to get more details on this issue.
Any response from someone who has observed the issue that I am seeing would be highly appreciated. Also, if someone from TI can let me know what SDOCM00094019 is and the status of this defect, that will be great.
Thanks and Regards,
Subbu
