Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, DP83630, DP83640

Tool/software: Linux

Hi there,

We have an OMAP-L138 Eval board and using the Linux provided with it. I think the Linux kernel version is 3.3.0.

we have designed a custom board with the OMAP-L138 SoC and have changed the Ethernet PHY when compare to the Eval LCDK board.

we are using DP83630, and would like to add Linux driver for this so that I can using Ethernet from Linux env.

Could someone please, help us with this.

Thanks.

Hi Mitesh,

Have you tried to enable Natsemi driver support?

Hi Yordan,
Yes, I have selected that and found driver for DP83640 but I am using DP83630. major difference is only the package size but with the driver for DP83640, I am not able to set DHCP to get IP address. But it says Link is up.

Not sure if driver for DP83640 also supports DP83630.
